Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 371

He was already walking by my side, but I decided to ignore him and continued walking forward. Suddenly, he grabbed my arms and pulled me against him.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Reiner asked as he stared down at my face.

The grip he had on my arm tightened as his worried expression turned into a scold. He’s getting mad…like I care.

“Away from here…just like what you’ve always wanted…” I hissed as I tried to shake my arm free of his grip.

I screamed and Reiner had no choice but to let go of my arm. I continued walking and he followed close to my side.

“Come back, Natalia. Let’s go back to the car. It’s not safe here…” Reiner continued talking to me.

“Stay away from me…” I muttered.

“Natalia!” Reiner called my name loudly.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms. Automatically, I began struggling but his arms around my body tightened, pulling me even closer against his body. He hugged me tightly as his large hand pressed my head against his hard chest. I could feel the heat from his body as his heart beat loudly against my ear. I pushed against his chest and in response, his arms around my body tightened even further.

“Let go…” I said in frustration, my voice coming out sounding like a broken sob.

“Stop struggling. It’s dark and this place is not safe,” Reiner replied calmly as his hand started stroking my hair comfortingly.

“I told you to let go!” I cried out loudly against his chest.

“No…” Reiner said firmly followed by a sigh.

Feeling so helpless and so stupid, I started crying and sobbing against his chest as my hands clutched at the front of his shirt.

“I’m not quitting my job at the bar and I’m not leaving this island!” I cried out determinedly as my fist beat on his hard chest.

“Ok…Ok…” Reiner murmured as his hand continued to stroke the back of my head comfortingly.

“Stop trying to chase me away!” I wailed.

‘Are you free tomorrow? Want to check out some apartments with me? I want to move out ASAP…’

To my surprise, after less than a minute my phone beeped. Reaching for it, I found out that Kat had sent me a short and sweet reply.

‘Of course! See you!’

…

I woke up super early the next day. To be honest, I didn’t catch a wink of sleep. I just lay on my bed with my eyes close just to physically rest my eyes. My mind didn’t go to sleep while I waited through the remaining of last night for morning to arrive. I set the alarm for super early and when it rang, my arm reached out for my phone and switched the alarm right off. Immediately, I sat up in bed and got ready to leave the room.

“Good morning, Natalia…” Queen greeted me when I tiptoed past the living room.

Perhaps because of what she witnessed last night; Queen had decided to get up super early too to catch me. Then again, maybe I was just over thinking things.
