Chapter 42 How Did You

Know My Size

The warmth of Collin's breath against the sensitive skin behind Linsey's ear sent a shiver down her spine. It was barely there just a whisper of heat-but it coiled through her like an electric current, leaving a tingling trail in its wake.

Her heart pounded wildly, each beat heavy and insistent, making her throat feel unbearably tight and dry.

Then, as if she were struck by a sudden jolt, Linsey's eyes widened in alarm. A rush of instinct took over, and she pulled back from Collin's broad frame, her breath hitching as she stared at him in disbelief.

His disability limited his movements, yet the way he held himself-the quiet control in his presence-made it clear that if he wanted to, he could still dominate the space between them.

The realization sent another shiver through her, something between awe and unease. Lowering her head quickly, she refused to meet his gaze, afraid of what she might find there.

Collin's eyes never left her as he studied every flicker of emotion on her face with an intensity that made her heart race. His lips curved into a slow, teasing smile, and his gaze darkened with a mischievous gleam.

"Why do you look at me like that?" he asked, his voice smooth. "Do I look like a monster to you?"

His words, exaggerated as they were, made Linsey flinch instinctively. She shook her head quickly, eager to distance him from such a harsh image. "No," she said firmly.

She hesitated for a moment, her lips parting as if to say more. "It's just that... you suddenly pulled me close like that. We were so close, and... I'm not used to it."

Collin's gaze softened, and his voice lowered, quiet and sincere. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

Linsey's instinct was to shake her head, to brush off the moment. But before she could, Collin let out a light chuckle and with a casual ease, added, "But we're married now, officially. You'll have to get used to this kind of closeness, don't you
