Chapter 92 Obedient To His Girlfriend

To Corrine's surprise, Nate suddenly slid his arm around her delicate waist, pulling her effortlessly into his warm embrace.

The cool, earthy scent of him wrapped around her, as though the very air was infused with his presence.

Startled, Corrine instinctively clung to him, their bodies pressed together with undeniable closeness. Even through the light fabric of their clothes, she could feel the searing heat radiating off him.

His warm breath fanned across her face, brushing against the strands of hair at her temples. The gentle caress made her fingertips curl and a faint blush crept up her ears, betraying her flustered state.

Feeling a rush of unease, she pushed gently against his chest. "I'll go get you some medicine."

"Don't move." Nate's husky voice washed over her, a simple command that held both a coaxing sweetness and an undeniable authority.

Corrine stopped struggling, allowing herself to be held like a compliant doll, her body slowly yielding to the pull of his embrace.
