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.

His arms tightened around her, drawing her closer as if she might slip

away at any moment.

"Nate, you're hurting me," Corrine protested, shifting uneasily against his

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.

In a heartbeat, her breath faltered, and her composure unraveled in the face of his undeniable magnetism.

The sudden jolt of the car stopping broke the moment. Flustered, she pushed him away with trembling hands and stumbled out as if seeking refuge from his

overwhelming presence.

Nate's gaze followed her hurried retreat, a wry smile curving his lips- dangerously charming, yet tinged with mischief.
