Natalie's heart felt like it was struck heavily by a blunt tool.
He had already made it clear the day before?
Was what Tobias said the night before really an affirmative answer for her, and it wasn't just her own imagination?
Did it mean that Tobias really liked her too?
Natalie was dumbfounded and the messy thoughts in her mind also faded away along with Tobias' words.
Tobias's lips fell on hers again, and this time, Natalie did not resist. She even put her hand on Tobias' waist.
The kiss went deeper, and the whole room was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
Tobias stopped as he almost could not control himself.
"Let me apply the ointment for you," Tobias said as his sense of reasoning came back.
Natalie laid on the bed giddily, and Tobias applied the ointment on her.
Tobias's fingers were rubbing on her skin gently. His touch was electrifying Natalie's entire body.
Natalie did not know what was going on. Tobias wanted to apply ointment on her, but after a while, he was on top of her.
Natalie was immersed in her giddy state. Before she could figure out what was going on, her clothes were gone.
"Natalie, do you want it?" Tobias leaned over and whispered in Natalie's ear.
His tone was low and hoarse, and the heat from his voice spread to Natalie's earlobe as he spoke.
Natalie's whole body was limp. She could not tell whether she wanted it or not. She only felt that she longed for something and that longing could break through all her reasoning.
"Do you like me?" Tobias asked again.
His voice was slightly low and hoarse as he said it; it was very charming.
Natalie nodded.
She knew that she liked the man.
"When did I fall for him?" Natalie thought. She had no idea. Perhaps he had inched his way into her heart somehow.
When he saw Natalie nodding, the desire in Tobias' eyes became even more intense.
He could no longer control himself.
He held Natalie's hand tightly and said, "It's your second time, so it will still hurt a little. Hold my hand. I will be gentle."
Natalie felt shivers all over her body.
Tobias' words reminded her of what Remington said.
Remington said to her, "How do you know that Tobias has not slept with any other woman?¹'.
Would Tobias say that when he was trying to sleep with another woman? Would he also gently remind her to hold his own hand to brace the pain? Would he also say that he would be gentle?
Natalie looked at Tobias like she was possessed.
"Tobias, how many women have you slept with?"
Tobias froze.
The atmosphere turned completely cold, and the romantic atmosphere dissipated instantly.
Tobias's eyes suddenly became very indescribably cold.
He looked at Natalie and said it word for word, "I have slept with a few women!"
After that, he got off from Natalie's body, put his clothes on, and left.
Natalie's senses were coming back to her slowly, and she realized she said something wrong.
She should not have asked Tobias like that.
She should have asked Tobias whether he had slept with other women before instead of the number of women he slept with.
No. She should not have asked anything in the first place.
Even if she had established her relationship with Tobias, she had no control over Tobias's past. How could she get jealous and ask Tobias?
Natalie regretted her words.
