Chapter 198: Listen To Your Body
Justin’s hand moved further closer to her breasts, but Natalie held his hand in a reflex.
She wasn’t used to being touched like this. After spending her days in dangerous places like Xyros city, while protecting herself from those dangerous men she came across, denying any intimacy with someone, had become her innate instinct.
She didn’t want to admit it, but this was why she could never get close to Ivan, even after dating him for so long. He had never tried to push her boundaries either, sensing the invisible lines she always maintained between them. Shall she be thankful to him for being a gentleman or he simply didn’t feel like being close to her.
But this stubborn man, a born seducer, seemed to be adamant on breaking all her defenses What she thought would be impossible for her, he had proven her utterly wrong.
Justin looked at her hand, which held his wrist firmly. The strong grip of her hand let him know about what he should understand about her. If it was just a normal reaction out of embarrassment or shyness, she wouldn’t hold it so firm. It was like a strong instinct, instinct of protecting herself.
She had held his hand this way once when she was sleeping. Even in her deep sleep she was so alert and defensive that she could feel his hand approaching her and held it without a miss.
What has she truly gone through to be like this? Will she ever tell me?
Their eyes met, and Natalie couldn’t tell what he was thinking or if he was upset that she’d stopped him.
"Listen to your body, Natalie," Justin finally broke the tense silence, his intense gaze holding hers as though commanding her. "I’m sure it’s telling you to let go."
