Chapter 137 Out Of Control

Corrine's eyes widened in shock as Nate's firm, commanding embrace pulled her in, his overwhelming passion engulfing her.

He kissed her deeply, his lips pressing against hers with an insistent hunger, exploring every inch of her with feverish desire.

His kiss came like a sudden storm, unexpected and relentless, sweeping her into a daze, leaving her mind spinning in confusion.

Her eyelashes fluttered with panic, her hands struggling against the intensity of the moment, as if trying to regain some sense of control.

It felt as though everything was spiraling beyond her reach.

She lost all sense of time until Nate's deep, husky voice rumbled in her ear. "Are you trying to drive me mad?"

His face remained buried in the curve of her neck, his warm breath fanning her skin, sending waves of shivers down her spine.

Corrine awkwardly pulled away, her chest rising and falling as she steadied her breath, asking with unexpected seriousness, "Don't you still have work to finish?"

"So what?" Nate replied nonchalantly, rolling onto his back.

Corrine frowned, trying to sit up. "Hurry up and get to work, so you can rest early tonight."
