Natasha had intended to wash up, but when she tried to stand up, she found that her legs had already turned to jelly, making it impossible for her to do so.
She finally understood what Kenneth meant that day when he stated he would make her unable to get out of bed.
I can't believe something like this can exist outside of bragging.
The bathroom door opened as she was making that internal remark, and Kenneth came out with a white towel around his waist. He was bare-chested, and his eight-pack abs appeared even more sexy and enticing when paired with his lightly tanned complexion.
He was the type of man that appeared slender when clothed yet muscular when undressed. His arm lines resembled those of someone who exercised year-round despite spending a lot of time sitting in the office.
At present, he was towel-drying his damp hair, and he appeared to be brimming with energy.
Natasha knitted her brows when she saw how energetic he seemed.
Are men and women so different? How can he be so energized while I'm too weak to even get out of bed right now?
As if he could hear her internal groan, Kenneth remarked, “Judging by your gaze, you seem to have something to say, Nat.”
“A-Are you all right?” Natasha stared at him as she spoke.
After hearing that, he inquired, “What's there not to be?”
“Aren't you... tired?” she asked.
“Why should I be?”
Why?
Natasha blinked. “What do you think?”
He was the one who moved the most just now, yet he's still asking me why?
Kenneth walked up to her while fixating his scorching gaze on her. “That was nothing, Nat. I'd already controlled myself a lot in consideration of your body.”
She stared at him in disbelief. “Are you for real?”
When he saw her helpless look, he could not help but chuckle. “It's true that I haven't held back after being sexually abstinent for so long, Nat. But how can I feel exhausted if I'm engulfed in addiction?”
In response, Natasha merely lifted her gaze and scrutinized him wordlessly.
He reached out and stroked her hair. “This is just the beginning, Nat. You have to get used to it.”
She instantly raised her head to stare at him in utter confusion.
However, Kenneth got up and put on a serious look as he continued towel-drying his hair. “Nat, I'm going to the base soon, and I may come back later,” he informed.
She nodded. “Okay.”
He turned to look at her. “Don't worry. I'm not heading there to see Alexia but because I have something to do.”
Natasha could not hold back her laugh when she heard his explanation. “It's not like I care!”
“Is that so?”
She merely arched an eyebrow at him.
Kenneth nodded. “Fine. I've made a fool out of myself, but Nat, try to rest well during the day.”
“Why?”
“We'll continue when I come back tonight.”
His words rendered Natasha speechless.
This man must be a beast in his previous life!
Kenneth got ready briefly and changed into a dark-colored outfit, which made him look smart. Every gesture he made was dignified and elegant, much like an intimidating king.
When he was done, he went to Natasha and kissed her on the forehead. “Rest well and wait for me to come back.”
With that, he went out smiling as she shot daggers at him.
Natasha had given up on washing up and was planning on just lying down when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up her phone and found that Spencer had sent her a text: Let's meet up. I have something to say.
Natasha frowned. The messages between her and Spencer had always been like that—straightforward.
She had to get up at that point regardless of whether it had to do with the antidote matter or something else.
