Kenneth sat down next to her silently with a dark expression.
Natasha leaned over and rested her head against his shoulder. “What's wrong? Are you upset?” she asked in a whisper.
He hummed moodily in response.
“What's wrong?” she mumbled her question as she leaned leisurely against him.
“What do you think?” he asked while massaging her temples.
After hearing that, Natasha finally opened her eyes and sized him up. “Is it because of me?”
Kenneth did not answer, but the look in his dark eyes gave everything away.
“Is it because I took Spencer's clothes off?” Natasha asked tentatively.
Kenneth instantly narrowed his eyes. “You took his clothes off?”
She blinked innocently at him. “Is it not because of that? What is it, then?”
He was fuming by now. He stared at her while forcing himself to suppress the rage in his heart.
Of course, Natasha knew why he was upset. All of a sudden, she reached out and put her arms around his neck, giving him a coy look. “Are you really upset?”
Her actions made his anger subside a little.
Nevertheless, Kenneth's jaw was still clenched tightly. “Of course I am.”
“Spencer is injured but refuses to get himself treated, so I went to take a look. I only took off his jacket.”
“You can't do even that!” Kenneth retorted, possessiveness in his tone.
“I know it wasn't really appropriate. But I said that you knew what I was like and wouldn't be upset with me.” Her gentle voice and the way she was looking at him rendered him unable to get mad at her.
He sighed. “No matter how much I understand you, I'm not that generous, Nat.”
“So... Are you going to get angry with me and ignore me?” she asked mischievously.
Kenneth gazed back at her in silence with a complicated look in his eyes.
Having received no response from him, Natasha took a deep breath. “Okay, I get it...”
Just as she was about to pull away, Kenneth grabbed her. With her thin arms still resting on his shoulders, she gazed up at him with an arched brow.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Nat, are you really that impatient?”
Natasha stared at him. “Kenneth, am I impatient if I've waited for you for several years?”
He had to admit that her words made him feel good.
He finally relaxed his jaw but still had not entirely forgiven her yet. “Nat, you've never even undressed me before.”
Natasha chuckled and shot him a teasing grin. “Mr. Hamilton, this hobby of yours is a little... peculiar.”
“And what about it?” He leaned forward slightly and pinned her down. He gazed at her, the passion burning in his eyes threatening to burn even her.
“What else can I do but support you? Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your big secret,” Natasha replied with a cheeky grin.
“What about you? Aren't you going to do something?”
Natasha pondered about it. “Are you asking me to undress you?”
“Yes.” Kenneth's voice was raspy.
“Are you sure?”
Kenneth grabbed her hand and placed it on his waist, his hint as clear as day.
Natasha was rendered speechless.
Her eyes flickered. Since Kenneth is feeling playful, I'm going to go all out!
