“Stay still,” ordered Shane in his deep voice.
Natalie knew that he was going to put some medicine on her, so she sat up straight.
Seeing how good she was being, Shane’s previously grouchy face looked much calmer soon. Then, he opened the first-aid kit and got the cotton butts and medicine out.
He was extremely gentle, so Natalie didn’t feel the sting at all. She even closed her eyes and started enjoying the treatment.
When she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered.
There were many times when her eyelashes tickled Shane’s hand as they fluttered.
Seeing all that got Shane to lick his own lips. His eyes instantly glowed with lust, and he hurried to finish putting the medicine on her. After that, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips.
“Mmm…” Natalie didn’t expect him to kiss her out of a sudden, so her eyes flung open. She was utterly flabbergasted. It took her some time to gather her thoughts.
She didn’t push him away after she regained her footing. Instead, she put her hands on the back of his neck and started kissing him back.
She understood that she had been too busy lately and had neglected him for some time. It got to the point where she refused his advances on the night before.
Shane never complained, but Natalie could still remember how he looked when disappointment shone in his eyes.
At that moment, Shane had no idea what Natalie was thinking. He was a little stunned when he felt her kissing him back like that, but he got the message soon enough. He kissed her more passionately and later pushed her onto the bed.
Perhaps it was because it had been a while since they last did it, so Shane was especially aggressive that night.
He was so demanding that Natalie was sore the following morning and couldn’t get out of bed. It was so bad that she needed Mrs. Wilson to deliver her breakfast to her bed.
“Here’s some chicken soup, Ms. Smith,” said Mrs. Wilson as she placed a bowl of hot soup in front of Natalie.
Natalie reached out to accept it before saying, “Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.”
Mrs. Wilson giggled a little before sharing, “Sir asked me to prepare this for you. He said it’d help replenish your energy and boost your stamina.”
Natalie almost spat the soup out when she heard Mrs. Wilson mention boosting her stamina. Fortunately, she managed to hold it together and swallow the soup. That being said, her face was still blushing red.
Mrs. Wilson understood that Natalie was shy, so she didn’t say anything else. She simply grinned and urged the latter to finish the soup.
Mrs. Wilson got the empty bowl over after Natalie finished her soup. The former asked, “Would you like some more?”
“No, I’m full now,” replied Natalie while shaking her head.
Mrs. Wilson didn’t say much afterward. She simply put the bowl on the tray before relaying, “Ms. Smith, sir asked me to tell you that after his meeting in the afternoon, he will go pick the kids up from kindergarten. Then, they will go to the airport directly, and you should meet up with them over there after you finished work.”
“Okay, got it,” replied Natalie, while nodding to show that she would remember it.
Mrs. Wilson then left with the tray.
Natalie didn’t stay in bed after Mrs. Wilson left the room. She pushed through her sore body and pulled the blanket away before heading into the washroom to freshen up.
She changed into a turtleneck to hide the kiss marks from the night before. After that, she left the house.
When it was time to clock off, Natalie handed her remaining tasks to Joyce and left for the airport.
She had just parked her car at the airport when her cell phone rang.
Natalie fished it out and checked the screen. She grinned when she saw that the call was from Shane. “Hello?” said Natalie upon picking the phone up.
“Have you reached the airport?” asked Shane sweetly.
“Yeah,” replied Natalie as she walked over to the entrance.
“Great. The kids and I are on the plane now. You can go directly to the VIP area. Silas will be there to lead you over,” informed Shane as he rested in the first-class cabin.
Natalie replied, “Okay, I’ll head over right now.”
“Great,” said Shane as he nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Natalie put her cell phone back into her bag before she scanned her surroundings and saw the sign that would lead her to the VIP area. She moved in that direction.
She had barely taken a few steps when she suddenly heard an angry voice, “Hannah, I’m warning you. Give me back my boarding pass!”
It’s Sally! She’s here too?
Natalie paused and turned in the direction of the voice. She soon saw Sally and Hannah standing some distance away.
