Half an hour later, Kenneth smoothened his clothes with satisfaction and put on an innocent look again.
Natasha, who was next to him, had a flushed face.
She wasn't someone who would get shy easily. She was in such a state now because of what he had done just now.
When she remembered the scene from earlier, her burning cheeks that had just cooled down burned fiercely again.
Her face was so red that it was as if she had applied blusher all over it, extending from her cheeks to her earlobes, making her look even more charming and alluring.
After tidying his clothes, Kenneth looked like a wolf in sheep's clothing. He turned to the woman next to him and saw her half-closed eyes and reddened earlobes. With a smile, he asked, “What's wrong with you, Nat?”
As Natasha looked up and locked eyes with him, the images of the similar scenes she recalled moments ago flooded back into her mind.
“Nothing,” Natasha replied, trying to put on a composed expression, and shifted her gaze toward the scenery outside the window.
The more Natasha tried to conceal what was on her mind, the more amused Kenneth was.
A faint smirk appeared on his face.
“Nat...”
“Hmm?”
“Did you enjoy yourself just now?” A deep voice suddenly sounded next to her ear.
Natasha froze.
She looked up and stared straight into his eyes.
She struggled to put into words the emotion she felt after hearing such a lewd question from a man who had just moments ago appeared so reserved and proper.
She stared at him in disbelief and said in a daze, “You...”
“What about me?” Kenneth leaned closer and fixed his eyes on her affectionately. Sunlight shone in through the window, which made him look all the more dashing despite his unkempt hair. His straight, refined nose gave off an air of elegance and wickedness that was hard to describe.
Natasha gazed into his eyes for a while, trying to form a coherent sentence, but his face left her speechless. After a moment, she averted her eyes and said, “You were quite a wild one just now!”
Kenneth cocked his brow. “Don't you like it?”
Uh...
“But Nat, you looked like you were enjoying it just now. Have you forgotten about it already?” Kenneth's magnetic voice rang in her ears.
The mention of it made Natasha's heart flutter with embarrassment, and she immediately placed her hand over his mouth, blushing. “That's enough, Kenneth.”
Kenneth had never seen Natasha so shy and helpless before. The grin on his face became wider and he became more unrestrained. He took her hand away from his mouth and said, “Nat, you'll have to get used to it. We've only just begun...” Then he leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “There are still a lot of things we can explore together.”
Natasha's face had turned so red that words couldn't even describe it. Her heart was also racing madly from his teasing.
Natasha had never considered herself conservative. Despite having limited experience, she deemed herself open-minded, but when facing Kenneth, she felt like a novice compared to his expertise.
To be frank, they were not of the same level.
Natasha couldn't utter a word as she stared at him.
Taking in her flushed cheeks and silence, Kenneth smiled triumphantly. He then gently kissed the back of her hand.
After withdrawing his gaze and straightening his posture, he started the car.
As they drove home, Kenneth held Natasha's hand tightly with one hand while driving with the other. Natasha attempted to withdraw her hand a few times, but Kenneth's grip was firm, indicating that he had no intention of letting her go. She eventually decided to let it be.
Natasha turned and looked out the window.
Despite her efforts to calm down, she found that the more she tried, the more vividly the recent events replayed in her mind, leaving her unsure of how to control her thoughts.
In the end, Natasha lowered the car window to get some fresh air.
