Chapter 581 Spend a Day with You

Natalie blinked her eyes open, the world coming into focus after a few seconds of blur.

She tried to sit up but felt an arm snug around her waist and her hand tightly held by Adrian.

Turning her head, she realized she was nestled in Adrian's arms. She'd just had a dream about sinking into a swamp, and someone had pulled her out, saving her. After that, she slept like a baby, no nightmares.

Natalie glanced at Adrian's palm and tried to wiggle hers free.

Adrian's eyes fluttered open. "You're up?"

Natalie nodded. "Yeah."

Adrian tightened his grip a bit.

Her voice was raspy. "When did you get here?"

"An hour ago," Adrian replied.

Natalie sat up, and Adrian followed suit, his arm feeling sore from being her pillow. He stretched it out, and Natalie, noticing, smiled and started massaging it. "Why'd you put your arm under my head?"

"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't wanna wake you," Adrian said.

Natalie checked the time; it was already 9 AM. She usually got up at 7:30. She looked at Adrian. "You gotta go; I need to change."

Adrian smirked. "I've seen every part of you."

"Just go out," Natalie insisted.

With him there, she would feel uncomfortable.

Adrian raised an eyebrow, his voice low and a bit rough. "You got a mole behind your left ear, a red mark on your right collarbone, and below the third rib on your back..."

Natalie's cheeks turned bright red, especially with Adrian's husky voice. She lowered her head. "Adrian!"

He walked over and hugged her, planting a kiss. They both fell back onto the bed. Adrian kissed her chin. "Is there any part of you I haven't seen? Any inch of skin I haven't touched? Natalie, don't you know, the more you act all shy around me, the more I can't help but want to..."

His eyes were intense and burning. He didn't finish the sentence, but just mouthing the words made Natalie's cheeks go crimson. She lightly punched his chest, and Adrian laughed, kissing her deeply again.

Natalie pushed him. "Adrian, I haven't showered yet."

"No need," Adrian said.

"No, I want to shower." Natalie resisted a bit, her eyes still a bit red from just waking up.

But she didn't realize how tempting she looked right then, with her slightly messy hair, the neckline of her pajamas pulled open, showing off some peachy skin, her breath light and resisting, her voice sweet. Adrian couldn't control himself.

Two hours later, Adrian was fully dressed. He glanced at Natalie lying on the bed, exhausted and only able to cover herself with the blanket. Her eyes were red.

Adrian chuckled softly, "Still mad? Don't be. I'll take you out for a meal."

He walked over in two steps, his long fingers lifting her chin. He leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

His voice was equally gentle. "Alright, don't be mad. I'm sorry for hurting you. Let me treat you to a meal. I got the whole day free for you. You can plan it however you like, okay?"

Natalie swatted his hand away. She didn't buy Adrian's sweet talk.

She glared at him. "Then leave; I need to change."
