Ch. 466..470: Forbidden Heat R18 Chapter 466-470

Chapter 466: Reiner – Tying up Loose Ends

“Ok. Thank you so much for everything that you’ve done for me. You helped me so much especially when I was having a hard time adjusting to life on this island. I won’t be working here at the bar anymore, but you can come visit me at the office...if you’re free...” I thanked him sincerely.

“You’re welcomed. Please take care of yourself. I’ll drop by to see you at the office sometime. Hopefully, Knight wouldn’t mind too much...” Charles said before he started laughing.

It was a relief that this conversation with Charles didn’t turn out as suffocatingly difficult as I had anticipated.

“Please drop by. I...don’t want us to end up as nothing more than strangers. So please, keep in touch,” I said perhaps a little too desperately.

Charles just laughed at me before he smiled reassuringly. Although I did ask him to keep in touch, I wasn’t sure how much our lives would overlap now that I won’t be working at the bar and Charles usually didn’t come too often to the office.

“I should walk you to the car now before Knight gets upset...” Charles suggested as he gestured with his hand for me to walk ahead.

“Oh right. That would be scary...” I replied softly.

“He’s scary when he gets mad? I can sort of imagine...” Charles said with a small laugh.

“He’s usually very nice to me, though,” I replied so that Charles wouldn’t worry, and it was also true.

“You can let me know if he bullies you,” Charles said before winking at me.

Suddenly, I felt like I had an older brother that would protect me from all harm. I smiled all the way as we walked to the car while sharing more small talk.

...

Since I was being more than extra mindful of the 10-minute mark, I made it back to the car on time. Reiner eyes scanned my face momentarily before he turned to nod a little at Charles. He didn’t seem pleased that I spent time alone with Charles, but he did allow me to do it, which meant that things might be improving as time goes on. Reiner started driving us home immediately and although I knew that Charles was watching, I didn’t dare to wave goodbye.

“So, what did he have to say?” Reiner asked after a short moment of silence on the road.

I had expected that Reiner would ask me about the conversation that I shared with Charles. Actually, I was more relieved that he asked than if he didn’t. This way I could reassure him that nothing fishy went on between us and there wasn’t anything that I needed to keep as a secret from him.

“He wanted to congratulate us on our wedding. I was planning to tell him about it myself, but it seemed like he had heard the news from someone else already. He also mentioned that you’re a great guy and that you’ll take care of me well...” I said before smiling a little Reiner’s way.

“I see...” he murmured with his eyes still on the road ahead, but I knew that he was listening to me.

“He asked me if I’m in love with you...and of course, I told him that I am. I think overall he was just worried about me. Kind of like how an older brother would worry about his little sister, I guess...” I said as I recalled Charles’ words.

“He’s not a bad guy but that doesn’t mean that I like you hanging around with him...” Reiner replied quite bluntly.

“I don’t think that you would like me hanging around with any guy...no matter how good of a person he is...” I said teasingly before I started laughing a little to myself.

Reiner turned and shot me a grumpy look before his attention returned to the road. I tried my best to stop laughing but admittingly it was quite a challenge. Reiner did not say anything after that, but I guessed that he was satisfied with the summary that I had given him of my conversation with Charles.

That didn’t mean that I was satisfied with what was going on, though. After getting married, I had intended to start life off anew with Reiner and clear all the complicated relationships that I had. That wasn’t so hard since I was away from the Rosenhalls, so the only person I had to clear things up with was Charles. That happened a little sooner than I had planned since he turned up to see me today. My eyes shifted to Reiner’s attractive face as my mind began to wonder if he’d clear things up with Rachael.

Hopefully, Rachael has found out by now that her fiancé, now ex-fiancé, had moved on and chosen to marry someone else. I felt sorry for her when I recalled how much she seemed to love Reiner, but precisely because of that reason, I thought that it would be better for her if he made things clear so that she could move on with her life as well. She’s pretty and young so I didn’t have any doubt that she could find a qualified boyfriend in no time at all.

“R...” I called his name to get his attention.

“What is it?” Reiner asked with his eyes still on the road.

“I was wondering...if you’ve talked things out with Rachael. You know, since we got married and all...” I asked while hoping that things wouldn’t get awkward between us.

Reiner didn’t seem surprised at my sudden question. His face remained unreadable while he seemed to contemplate his response.

“I haven’t spoken to her specifically about it, but she does know that we got married,” Reiner replied without much emotion.

“Are you planning to clear things up with her?” I asked, pressing the matter.

The last time I met her, things didn’t end so well. Reiner had probably spoken to her at least once since then since Rachael had left me alone in peace from that day onwards.

“She already knows that we got married. She knows that you’re my wife now and she isn’t. What more is there for me to tell her?” Reiner asked before he glanced over at me.

Chapter 467: Reiner - Relieve My Stress

Well...

Why did he have to put it that way? Isn’t she supposed to be like his adorable little sister or something? Why does it sound like he doesn’t care about her at all?

I was quickly starting to sympathize with Rachael even more than before and then I wondered how she could stay in love with Reiner for so long if he treated her like this. Maybe he’s more loving with her when I’m not around? Probably...

“I guess, if you make it clear to her about us and how you feel about her then maybe it can help her to move on. You could encourage her to move on and find her own happiness, you know...” I suggested.

I knew that he knew that I was talking about. It was a hard conversation and I understood that, but it would be better for Rachael if she can move on from him. Of course, it would be better for me too if she can find happiness with some other man that is not my husband.

“I’ll talk to her if you want me to,” Reiner said, and it was clear that he no longer saw any need for us to discuss this topic any further.

“Thank you...” I replied with an appreciative smile.

Although he wasn’t passionate about the topic, I guessed that it was good enough that he was willing to go along with it for my sake. Deep down, I honestly wished the best for Rachael. Moving on was the best option for her.

...

After quitting my job at the bar, I focused my effort and attention on the project that I was working on with Reiner. Time flew by and after many late nights in the office, the day of the presentation was upon us. Despite Reiner’s stern warning for me to go to bed early the night before, I couldn’t catch a wink of sleep last night. After tossing and turning in bed restlessly for almost an hour, Reiner got at least slightly annoyed.

“Can’t sleep? Are you nervous about tomorrow?” he asked as he turned on his side to face me.

“Very. I’m nervous...and I’m scared...” I admitted before I made a crying face.

Reiner just laughed at me. In other circumstances, I might have laughed along with him at how pitiful I was, but this time around, I just couldn’t find anything funny about this. Reiner reached out his hand and started stroking my hair comfortingly. His calming touch made me feel better, but I was still very stressed out. We worked so hard on this, and I couldn’t imagine the state that I would be in if our proposal got rejected by King.

“It will be fine. Just do what you always do. We’ve reviewed the work so many times already so have some confidence in yourself and your work,” Reiner said supportively as he pulled my body against his.

The feel of his strong arms around me made me feel safe as he enveloped me in his warmth and familiar scent. I stroked my hand along the muscles of his arm as I sighed. If only things would just go smoothly...

“Still worried? I can help you go to sleep...if you want...” Reiner whispered seductively in my ear as his hand began caressing along the curve of my hip.

I let out a sigh as I closed my eyes and surrendered myself over to him. The way his hands were caressing my body as his tongue snaked out to lick my earlobe left very little room for imagination about where this was going to lead. I murmured his name before a pleasurable moan slipped past my lips. The heat of his hand seeped through the very thin lace of my nightgown and into my skin.

“R...” I whimpered softly when his hands groped and massaged my breasts through the thin lace.

“Just relax...” he whispered comfortingly.

I moaned louder as my body snuggled back into his large frame as his hands slipped into the front of my nightgown and began teasing my soft womanly flesh directly. The heat of his hand on my cool skin felt comforting as he kneaded my breasts before he started to twirl my hardened nipples between his fingertips. I closed my eyes as I let my body respond naturally to his stimulations.

My nipples grew taunt and stiff until it began to hurt slightly. I was so turned on by him that my pussy throbbed with need. My core felt like it was melting from the heat that had gathered in my lower abdomen. Reiner’s hand dipped lower to caress the plain of my stomach as his other hand continued to pleasure my breasts. I arched my neck invitingly and he immediately began planting little kissing along my neck.

“Ahhh...R...” I moaned softly in complete bliss.

The small kisses against my neck quickly changed into rough sucking and licking that worked to turn me on even more. I wanted him so badly already and the wetness that gushed out from the slit in between my thighs was more than enough proof of my desire for him. I started grinding my hips back against his, feeling the shape of his hardness pressing up against my ass. Reiner’s cock was already so hard and erect.

“Want to get on top?” Reiner suggested as his hand dipped to caress the sensitive spot in between my legs.

I let out a soft cry when his large hand cupped my pussy before I turned my head and nodded at him. He smiled gently and knowingly at me before he turned to lay flat on his back. I loved all his teasing foreplay, but I couldn’t wait to feel his thick cock inside of my wet hole right now...

“Lift your hips...” I instructed as I ran my fingertips along the hardness bulging out from the front of his boxers.

Reiner readily complied and I hastily pulled his boxers down over his hips before removing them completely from his legs. My eyes were concentrated on the thick and upstanding pole that I had just freed from the restraints of his boxers. His cock was enormous, and it never failed to amaze me when I saw it up close. I stared at his cock in the dim light as it twitched slightly with its vein bulging out.

Chapter 468: Reiner – Sexy Sleeping Pill

“If you keep staring, I’m going to start feeling shy...” Reiner drawl teasingly.

“I love your cock...” I stated bluntly.

“Then put it inside you...” Reiner replied as his blue eyes gazed at me with intense desire.

I smiled at him before I got on top of him and straddled his hips. Reiner watched my every move as I grabbed his thick shaft and began positioning the swollen head of his thick cock at my wet entrance. It was the right decision not to wear any panties to sleep. It saved us a little step when we wanted to do it late at night, which turned out to be very often.

Reiner’s hands supported my waist as I lifted myself up enough to take his cock into me. I reached down with one hand to spread my pussy lips apart while using my other hand to position the gigantic head of his cock where I wanted it. I moaned as I stared down at his handsome face from above. His cock felt hot against my love opening and when I slowly lowered my pussy onto his upstanding cock, a lusty moan escaped my lips. His cock stretched my opening before penetrating a little into my wetness as I lowered my hips a little onto him.

Reiner’s eyes continued to watch me intently as he let me do things the way I wanted. I knew that he was holding back for my sake as he lay there beneath me without moving. He was a very supportive lover, and I knew that when he suggested for me to be on top, he wanted me to take control and feel comfortable to move at the pace that suited me. I lowered my pussy onto his cock and his thickness sunk deeper into my love hole.

“R...it feels so good...” I admitted in a shameless whisper.

Reiner’s cock felt hot and very big inside of me. I sat down on top of him, pushing his cock even deeper into my hole as my pussy clenched greedily around his impressive girth. I moaned lewdly as I took in more of his length into my wet hole. His cock stretched my pussy as it rubbed against its wall, sending waves of pleasure throughout my body.

“Oh...wow...it’s so deep inside...” I moaned in awe when I sat skin to skin with him with his entire length buried deep inside of me.

Reiner groaned a little as his hips moved to encourage me to move on top of him. Without waiting any further, I began pumping my hips up and down the length of his erect cock. My pussy squeezing his cock in rhythm to how I was riding him. His cock pounded in and out of my hole as I rode him faster and wilder. I angled my hips to grind the head of his cock against the pleasure spot deep inside of my tunnel, making sure that his cock hit the right spot with every thrust.

I cried out his name loudly as I panted and moan in my ecstasy. If I worried that I would be disturbed by thoughts of work and the presentation tomorrow, I quickly found out that all my fears and worries were unfounded. When I felt his cock inside of me, all my thoughts about other things evaporated into thin air. All I could think about was Reiner and how much love and pleasure he was giving me. I couldn’t and I didn’t want to think about anything else as I pumped my hips up and down his cock in wild abandon.

“R...please...do me...” I begged for him to move.

“Your pussy feels extra tight today...” Reiner murmured seductively.

His hips thrusted upwards sharply, ramming his cock up deeply into my hole and making me cry out from the sudden and intense joy of his cock hitting hard against my womb. It felt like he could break me with a single thrust, but I didn’t want him to stop. Perhaps it was the effect of him having held back for a while because his thrusts quickly intensified as he pounded his cock upwards into my hole. His hands tightened around my hips as he pulled me down onto his cock to match with the rhythm that thrusted upwards.

“Ahh! R...it’s crazy...” I cried out.

The way he moved made me feel so good. My pussy clenched around his thickness as he rammed his cock into me like he would never stop. He was moving so hard and fast that our bodies made slapping sounds while his cock dived into my wetness. Loud wet sounds filled the bedroom as he continued to give it to me fast and hard and my pussy got wetter from my desire.

His cock beating repeatedly against my pleasure spots made my entire body feel hot and weak at the same time. I threw my head back and screamed when I suddenly climax. That night I fell asleep on top of Reiner after he planted his hot seed deeply into my cunt. It wasn’t the first and wouldn’t be the last time that I took his sex in the place of sleeping pills.

Morning came and I woke up with panda-eyes. The sex that we had last night helped cure my anxiety for sure and it helped me catch some sleep afterwards. On top of that, it left my pussy feeling extremely satisfied although slightly sore. I sat in front of the mirror after getting dressed and focused my attention on applying concealer under my eyes. My eyes didn’t look as bad as I thought it would and I probably had Reiner to thank for that.

Unfortunately, I was on edge about everything while Reiner seemed as calm as ever. When we arrived at the office, I couldn’t wait for the meeting to start, and it wasn’t because I was ready for it. I just wanted to get it over and done with before this stress killed me from the inside out.

“Don’t be so nervous. You’ll do fine. We’ll do fine. The project will survive. It’s a good proposal...” Reiner said confidently.

Chapter 469: Reiner – Fruit of our Efforts

I wished that I shared his confidence. My tummy felt funny and there was a fluttering feeling in my chest.

“Where are you going?” Reiner asked when I got up from my seat.

“The toilet...” I replied before walking away.

I just need to be alone before I get a panic attack. Unfortunately, there was around an hour before the meeting would start. I had to gather myself before then while not driving myself crazy.

“I’m going to do a last run through,” I announced determinedly when I returned from my trip to the toilet.

“Good luck...” Reiner replied before smiling encouragingly at me.

...

This is exactly why I never agreed to any of Zak’s crazy ideas of putting me on any of his shows or starring me in even the smallest roles in any of his movies. I stood in front of the projector screen with my face turned towards my only audience while I tried my best to keep my legs from shaking visibly. King was the only one who attended the meeting as our honorable audience and that was exactly why I couldn’t understand why the meeting room was so big.

Basically, the secretary who was responsible for scheduling this meeting had selected an auditorium for our presentation. King sat in the chair at the center of the first row as he glanced up at the large projector screen. The expression on his face was as unreadable as ever. If I had to describe it, then I would say that he simply looked disinterested.

How Edward or Lucien managed to pull off presentation in halls packed with people while it was broadcasted on live television, I had no clue. Reiner stood by my side but because we were supposed to be in work-mode, he couldn’t really give my hand a squeeze of encouragement.

“Start,” King said coldly.

Here goes...

Reiner started off by recapping the objectives of our project and giving a brief summary of the problem that we had been working to address. His part of the presentation wasn’t short, but it ended too soon and now it was my turn. Just as we had agreed, I would present the methodology of how we arrived at our proposed solution as well as give some more details about the proposal.

So far, King had not said anything, although I could tell that he was listening attentively to what Reiner had been saying. Now that it was my turn, his cold blue eyes shifted from his son to rest on me. At that moment, I fully understood what it meant to feel so scared that you thought you were going to pee your pants. The greatest blessing was that I didn’t pee myself on the spot.

It’s ok, Natalia. You rehearsed this so many times that you can even recite it in your sleep!

“After going through agent profile data and their past records, we interviewed many agents to get their views on teamwork and team-based training in preparations for team-based missions. We found out that many agents still operate based on a solo-operating mindset and did not go through or appreciate the value of team-based trainings. When we evaluated the training programs that are currently being offered by the company, we found out that very few courses are available for team-based training and none of them focused on building cooperation between team members or how to create synergy between the strength of the different key members...” I said as I tried to calm myself down.

King listened and the more that I said, the more comfortable that I started to feel. I never reached the point where I was fully comfortable but halfway through my part of the presentation, I felt like I could do this. My attention focused more on getting the important messages across to my audience rather than my own nervousness and my shaky nerves.

“We worked alongside various experts to co-develop training curriculum to stress on team-based training as well as counselling for agents to improve their acceptance of working as a team. If you approve of this project, we expect the success rate of missions to improve significantly which will improve the overall survival rate of agents across the company given that a significant portion of missions are now team-based missions unlike the trend before where most missions were solo missions,” I said before my part of the presentation came to a close.

I sucked in a breath and breathed out slowly as I dared look at King again to judge his reaction. Reiner made some wrap up comments and asked his father for his opinion. Honestly, I thought the presentation turned out better than I could have ever dreamt of. Nothing happened during the presentation that could tarnished the quality of our presentation so now it was up to what he thought about the quality of our work.

King didn’t stop us to ask any questions during our presentation and now that the presentation was over, he still didn’t say anything. That alone made me so much more nervous compared to when I was presenting to him. The silence in the auditorium was so unnerving and my nervousness returned in full stream.

“The presentation was not bad. The ideas presented made sense...” King commented passively.

Since I didn’t expect any sort of praise from him, having him say that it was ‘not bad’ was already quite satisfying for me. He could have shouted at us and scrapped our project right away, so compared to that alternative, this was already a great outcome.

“If we have your approval, we will proceed to the next step of more detailed design and then piloting before full-scale implementation,” Reiner said politely.

“How much of this was your work and how much of it was Natalia’s work?” King asked as he turned his attention to Reiner.

His question surprised me. We pretty much worked on the project together although we split our work up here and there but I had not expected King to ask about this. I glanced over at Reiner as I waited to see how he was going to reply to his father.

Chapter 470: Reiner – Knight’s Children

“I was a little lost on this project when I first started, and it was Natalia who suggested that we go through the agent’s data. Actually, she did the analysis herself and came up with the candidates for the interview. She helped with the analysis of the current training programs while I worked closely with the experts to get their advice on how to improve the training. Natalia then did more analysis to estimate the improvement in the survival rate and mission success rate based on our proposal,” Reiner explained quite accurately and concisely.

Well, I did notice that he gave me quite a lot of credit without misrepresenting what I worked on. My eyes wandered to King to see his reaction. King didn’t seem impressed or anything, but he did nod his head once.

“The project can go ahead. I expect an update on the pilot in three month’s time,” King stated before waving his hand to dismiss us.

“Thank you very much...” I thanked him softly.

We both turned to head towards the exit before King spoke up again behind us.

“You can go on ahead, Knight. I want to talk to Natalia...” King said, and I froze in place.

My relief was so short-lived that I was shocked. I had thought that everything was over and done with but now King wanted to talk to me...and alone too!

“Noted,” Reiner said before he turned to nod firmly at me.

I wanted to scream and tell him not to leave me here all alone, but I knew that that wasn’t an option. It was time that I learnt to face King on my own. Like it or not, he’s my father-in-law now and it would be that way until he passed away because there was no way that I could break up with Reiner.

Reiner left and I was left alone with King in the large auditorium. Suddenly, it felt very cold in there and my nose and lips started to go numb. Simply because I didn’t know what I should do, I walked back to stand where I was standing when I was presenting to him.

“Come and sit down here,” King said as he pointed a finger to the seat right next to where he was seated.

Isn’t that a little too close for my comfort?

I plastered a polite smile on my face as I made my way to the seat and sat down on it. King turned to look at my face and I was forced to meet his gaze. Surprisingly, his blue eyes held no animosity and he seemed to be looking at me honestly.

“Don’t act so stiff around me. It makes me feel bad...” King said before letting out a sigh.

“I’ll try my best...” I replied with the first thing that I could think of.

“You’re funny...and quite honest. I think I can see why my son is very fond of you,” King said with a small nod of his head.

I felt tongue tied and very surprised at the direction that this conversation was taking. It was all very new for me, I had never seen King talk this casually before. For a moment, he seemed like a normal man who perhaps had a little bit more to worry than the rest of us.

“I’m very happy that you think that way,” I replied with a hopeful smile.

“Knight chose to marry you. That is that. Did he tell you that on this island people are not required to get their parent’s consent to get married? Not legally and not by practice,” King asked as he stared at me.

“Yes, he did...” I replied truthfully as I wondered where this was going to lead.

“I made that rule. I didn’t think that parents should have a say who their child decides to marry, and I still feel the same way. With that being said, I want you to know that I fully respect the decision that Knight has made,” King said, and I could tell that he was being serious.

I was simply speechless.

“I’m not overjoyed that he had chosen you and I am not disappointed either. What matters to me is how well you will fulfill your role now that you are his wife. You’re smart, your logic isn’t bad, you’re beautiful and you seem to love Knight a lot. I trust in my son’s judgement a lot because I was the one who raised him,” King said as he seemed to appraise me at the same time.

“Thank you...I guess...” I replied softly.

“It’s just as I told you the other day. Welcome to the family, Natalia. This family is this company. I am now the head of the family and the head of this company. Hopefully soon, I can retire and pass the position to Knight and to you. That’s right. Being part of this family comes with a long list of responsibilities,” King said before his eyes rested sternly on my face.

“I realized that...” I replied truthfully.

I’ve heard King say it more than enough times already and I’ve also observed it firsthand on all the work that Queen does even at her age. I can only imagine what she’s worked on to get to where she is today. There is no such thing as a free meal here which was probably the way that the world was supposed to turn.

“Good. You did well on your project with Knight. What do you want to do next regarding your career?” King asked and I could tell that he was slightly curious.

“I can do anything. I’m willing to do anything. I might not be very experienced about this...umm...industry but I believe that I can learn. So, I would appreciate any opportunity that you throw at me...” I replied enthusiastically.

“I see. You might not have Knight’s support on your next project,” King said as his eyes narrowed slightly at me.

“That’s fine. I’ll try to work more independently,” I replied, unfazed by his words.

I never expected that Reiner would be with me every step of the way of my career anyways. That was just unrealistic. He had things that he needed to do, and I had things that I had to achieve on my own to prove myself too.

“Good. Then onto the next topic,” King said, and he seemed quite satisfied with my response.

“Ok...” I mumbled softly as I wondered what else he wanted to talk to me about.

“When do you plan on having Knight’s children?” King asked straight forwardly.
