Nate's warm breath ghosted over Corinne's skin, his lips brushing her cheek with featherlight precision before his head nestled into the delicate curve of her neck.

His movements were both restrained and charged with intensity, each gesture steeped in fervent desire.

away at any moment.

hold.

A low chuckle rumbled in Nate's chest, his breath grazing her ear in a way that sent an involuntary shiver down her spine.

"Corrine, don't make me wait too long." His voice was smooth and rich, laced with a subtle hint of a smile that was undeniably captivating.
