A Cue for Happiness

He had received a visit from the Loang’s royal siblings to discuss the mining rights of the vein. After the

meeting, he had arranged a welcome banquet for Prince Richard and Princess Kelly. The prince, Richard

Sinclair, had tried to matchmake him with his sister, Kelly Sinclair, throughout the entire banquet, while

Kelly had been aggressive in her approach by continuously sending him sultry looks. Seeing as she was

royalty, Samuel had maintained his bearing and didn’t reject her outright. He had merely gulped

champagne down his throat with a deadpan expression throughout the entire banquet, not wanting to

give the royal siblings even a chance to misunderstand him. Samuel was slightly sluggish from the

alcohol by the time he got home. After unlocking the door and passing the dark hallway, he saw a soft,

orange glow coming from the living room. He had told Gavin not to stay up late for him, since the elder

was in his later years. He hadn’t expected Gavin to disobey him and wait up for him even after midnight.

Samuel loosened his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt as he slowly headed toward the living room. He

didn’t see Gavin there as he neared the living room, but a petite figure was lying on the couch with her

eyes closed. The soft light shone on her face, leaving long stripe shadows on her face from her dark

lashes. At that moment, her countenance was not gorgeous, but the quiet and elegant vibe she gave out

captivated him, urging him to approach her. He didn’t care for the reason she was there. He merely

wanted to be closer to her. He got down on one knee to get a closer look at her. There was mirth in his

eyes as he admired the most precious gem in his life. Samuel lowered his head the next second and

kissed her tenderly. Natalie wasn’t asleep. She was so lost in her thoughts as she tried to figure out a

plan that she didn’t even notice Samuel had returned. Feeling the silk of lips against hers, she snapped

back from her deep thoughts. Her lips had parted slightly from gasping with surprise. Seizing the

opportunity, Samuel easily slipped his tongue inside, tasting her sweetness. “Be good. I won’t do

anything else. I’m just going to kiss you.” After he uttered those words softly with his deep voice, he

continued to kiss her more deeply without giving her the time to respond, as though he was ravenous.

He knew she had constructed an invisible wall around her to protect herself, unwilling to open up her

heart easily. He was willing to wait, but his desire for her accumulated gradually every day that passed.

She knew it would be futile to break free from him. Also, remembering she needed help from Samuel to

care for her kids while she was gone, she didn’t put up any resistance and even opened her mouth wider

for his entry. Her concession encouraged Samuel. He finally released her when she started having

trouble getting air into her lungs. Her long, dark hair fanned out across the couch. Her chest rose and fell

at a quick pace as she stared dazedly at him with desire glazing her hazel eyes. Samuel almost went

back on his words at her sensual look. She’s killing me with that look. “Nat, you’re killing me!” said

Samuel as he felt a pulse throbbing in his temple. I promised her that I wouldn’t do anything she didn’t

want, but she always turns me on so easily. The urge to kiss her stirred within him. Before his lips could

touch hers, she covered his mouth with her hands. “Samuel, we’ve been kissing for half an hour. That

should be enough.” He was stunned, then pecked her on her hands softly. “It has been that long?” “Since

you weren’t sleeping, what were you thinking about? You were so focused that you didn’t even notice me

coming back.” Samuel wrapped her small hands in his and toyed with them as he continued, “Nat, have

you gotten into trouble?”
