On Andrew's first night back in Chetvine, he and Natasha were happily settling into their rundown little cabin. Around midnight, Sheena showed up with blankets, tossed them down, and immediately left.
Andrew was stunned.
Since when did Sheena act like this? By all logic, she would have rather seen him freeze to death.
Natasha laughed. "Darling, this place might be a dump, but sharing a bed with you and holding you close makes me feel incredibly happy."
Andrew felt a bit awkward. Lauren and the other girls had been trying repeatedly to video call him. However, he made excuses about it being too late and being too exhausted, turning them down. He was afraid that the video call would connect while he was holding Natasha.
Such a shocking scene would surely drive Lauren and the others to immediately pack their bags and rush to Chetvine. They had told Andrew that if he got too desperate, he should not take advantage of poor Natasha. If he had any needs, he could come to them instead.
They would be happy to keep Andrew company for all-night battles.
Sheena had been keeping watch near the cabin for most of the night. Finally, she left with a thoroughly displeased expression.
She grumbled, "Andrew really is hopeless. He brings home a beautiful older woman, and I thought he'd light up the night, show some fire. But nothing? Not even a spark? This brat isn't… impotent, is he? No, that won't do. The Lloyd family's best genes can't be wasted like this."
Shaking her head, she went back to rest, already planning to get Andrew some supplements the next day. Since they owed him so much, it was time for her to step up and take responsibility as his senior.
"I'm sorry, Andrew…" Lying in bed, Sheena stared at the ceiling with tears in her eyes. She had no idea that just moments after she left, Andrew rolled over and pinned Natasha beneath him.
"Darling, it's already past three in the morning. You still want more?" Natasha mumbled sleepily, her voice soft and lazy.
Andrew said with a straight face, "I'm not doing this for me. I'm helping you shake off the exhaustion from traveling all the way to Chetvine. Be good, arch that back."
Natasha chuckled. "Fine, just love me hard already!"
