An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Ask Him for Help

Chapter 61 Ask Him for Help

Natasha suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Mr. Rundell, do you have any other instructions?” she asked.

Jared ordered, “Get me some water.”

Natasha turned to look at him.

After hesitating for a moment, she returned, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him.

“Mr. Rundell, please drink it. I’ll check on you again tomorrow,” Natasha said.

But she was still intent on leaving.

Jared frowned.

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and yanked her right in front of him.

“Even though you don’t owe me for that 100 million dollars, I still owe you that 30 grand favor…” Jared said, locking eyes with her, his words slow and deliberate.

Natasha blinked, confused. “What are you talking about?”

Jared, sounding a bit apologetic, said, “I promised I’d sleep with you, but since I’m injured, I can’t deliver on that right now”

Natasha was stunned.

‘He actually still remembers that?’ Natasha thought, a little speechless.

“No, really, it’s fine…” she said quickly, waving her hands.

Honestly, hooking up with him was the least of her concerns. She just wanted her 30 grand back

Jared looked dead serious. “I always keep my word. Besides, I can’t just take your 30 grand for nothing.”

Natasha forced a smile. “If you really feel bad about it, why not just give me back the 30 grand…”

Before she could finish, Jared suddenly leaned in, his hot breath brushing against her neck.

Natasha jolted, her whole body reacting instinctively.

A wave of feverish heat welled up inside her, spreading rapidly to every inch of her body.

She knew this feeling all too well.

Her heart sank instinctively.

Natasha thought, ‘Damn it, my episode is acting up again.

‘What’s happening to me?’

Ever since she’d been taking her meds regularly and had finally given up on Percy for good, she hadn’t had an episode in

ages.

‘Why now, of all times, right when I’m in Jared’s hospital room?’ Natasha thought, frustration and anxiety tangling together.

And worst of all, she’d rushed out of the house so fast she didn’t have her meds with her.

“What about the 30 grand?” Jared prompted, still waiting for her to continue.

Natasha could feel his hot hand roaming over her skin.

She quickly pulled away, nervous. “Mr. Rundell, please, not here…”

They were in a hospital room. Someone could walk in at any moment,

Jared’s voice was low and husky. “Stop what? That night, you were the one begging me to touch you…”

Natasha’s face went beet red when Jared brought up that night./

“I was drugged that night. If I did anything out of line, please don’t hold it against me,” she blurted out.

She quickly shoved him away and hopped off the bed.

Just as she reached the door, Jared’s voice rang out behind her, sharp and annoyed. “Don’t take another step out of this room.”

Natasha froze, her spine stiffening.

‘Who does he think he is, telling me I can’t leave?’ Natasha thought, annoyance prickling at her nerves.

But with her hysteria flaring up, now was definitely not the moment to confront him about it.

Chapter 61 Ask Him for Help

Natasha gritted her teeth, forcing herself to keep it together. “I need to use your restroom for a minute.”

With that, she rushed inside, slammed the door shut, and locked it from the inside.

Jared’s VIP hospital suite came with a private bathroom and shower, luxurious and secluded.

The bathroom even had its own en-suite shower.

Natasha couldn’t afford to worry about anything else. She cranked the shower to ice-cold.

She quickly peeled off her clothes and stepped into the freezing spray.

She hoped the icy water would help her regain control, calm her racing nerves.

Natasha scolded herself, ‘Stop wanting it so much. Especially now, no matter how much I want it, there is just no way

But her body was completely out of her control.

The urge only got stronger, leaving her even more restless and miserable.

Natasha figured it had something to do with the huge fight she’d had with Percy earlier that night.

Even though she hated to admit it, the truth was, Percy had really rattled her.

She never imagined that even after Joelle drugged her, Percy still wouldn’t stand up for her.

Instead, he actually questioned whether she was just misunderstanding Joelle.

In Percy’s eyes, Joelle was his goddess, the girl he always put on a pedestal.

Everything Joelle did was always right.

But no matter what Natasha did, it was always wrong.

Percy was starting to act just like Bernard, Roxanne, and Sandra.

They all unconditionally sided with Joelle, no matter what.

It was all because Joelle was the official Whittier heiress.

But Natasha was just the illegitimate daughter from the second wife, always kept in the shadows, never good enough to be shown off.

Natasha really didn’t want to get caught up in all this drama.

The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.

Her hysteria was flaring up, and there was no way to calm it down.

Suddenly, Jared was pounding on the bathroom door from outside.

“Why aren’t you coming out?” he called, impatience creeping into his voice.

She’d been holed up in there for over an hour.

Jared was starting to worry about her.

There was no response.

Jared’s brows furrowed, his face darkening.

He knocked again, but she still didn’t respond.

He was about to twist the handle and push the door open when the bathroom door finally opened.

Natasha appeared in the doorway, her face burning red.

“Mr. Rundell, I can’t take it anymore…” she whispered, her voice shaky and desperate.

Her whole body felt soft and weak, her limbs barely able to hold her up.

She was completely out of options. She had no choice but to ask him for help.

Something deep and intense rippled through Jared’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected that opening the door would reveal such a shocking scene.

His sexy Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed hard.

His thin lips pressed into a tight line, struggling to restrain the urge to do her right then and there.

The next second, Natasha threw herself at him.

Her slender hands clung tightly to Jared’s shoulders.

“Can you please help me?” Natasha whimpered, her voice soft and helpless.

Chapter 61 Ask Him for Help

Her eyes were half-open, dazed and misty, as she murmured to him in a pleading tone.

Jared’s eyes darkened, desire flickering in their depths.

His breathing grew faster, chest rising and falling with each shaky inhale.

Jared couldn’t help but recall that night when Natasha had been drugged. She’d pleaded with him for help in almost the exact same way, stirring something deep inside him.

“So, how exactly do you want me to help you?” he murmured, his voice thick with desire.

His eyes grew darker, smoldering as he stared straight at her, not letting her escape his gaze for a second.

Natasha’s cheeks grew even hotter, flushed with embarrassment and longing.

With Jared looking at her like that, Natasha nearly lost control, she was on the verge of blurting out her deepest craving.

‘Honestly, he should just let me cash in on that deal and sleep with him, Natasha thought..

He still owed her a night, after all.

She’d already forked over the money.

With her hysteria flaring up, she was feeling absolutely miserable.

At this point, it was only fair he let her sleep with him.

But at the last second, she bit her tongue and held back.

“Could you help me get some medicine?” Natasha managed to change the subject just in time, her voice shaky.

Jared was hurt, after all.

She couldn’t possibly ask him to sleep with her when he was like this.

And on top of that, they were in a hospital.

It just wasn’t the right time, place, or situation for that.

Jared held her gaze for a few seconds.

He’d thought she wanted him to help her with his body, but it turned out she just wanted him to fetch her some meds. He felt a pang of disappointment he couldn’t really explain.

“Wait here,” Jared said, his tone firm and no-nonsense.

He gave her a long, searching look, then turned away to make a call, telling someone to bring over the meds Natasha needed.

He was the one who’d gotten her those hysteria meds before.

He knew exactly what she needed.

Right now, Natasha had no one else to rely on, he was her only hope.

Natasha stumbled out of the bathroom.

She staggered over to the couch and collapsed onto it, her legs barely holding her up.

All she could do was wait for Jared to get someone to bring her the meds. She was counting on them to help her feel better.

But she was feeling so restless and miserable, it was almost more than she could take.

Every cell in Natasha’s body was screaming with desire, her whole being aching for him.

She watched Jared’s tall, broad back as he stood with his back to her.

She felt an irresistible impulse to go over and press herself close to him, just to feel his warmth.

Natasha groaned inwardly, ‘God, what am I doing?

‘What’s wrong with me?

‘How could I be daydreaming about him at a time like this?

‘He is my boss, for god’s sake!’

Natasha was both annoyed with herself and unbearably uncomfortable.

This feeling was pure torture.

If she were at home, or alone, she would’ve just handled it herself already.

But now she was in Jared’s hospital room.

There was nothing she could do. She just kept fidgeting with her dress, restless and helpless.
