The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 414:

“Nate, this is your room. I should go to the guest room…”

“Stay.” Nate’s arm curled around her waist, firm and possessive. His gaze darkened as he took in the flush on her cheeks.

His warm breath brushed against the side of her neck, featherlight, making her stiffen.

Corrine pressed her lips together, hesitating before inching her hand back, folding her arms protectively over her chest.

Nate caught the subtle movement, a knowing smirk tugging at his lips.

Seeing her so tense, so compliant, only made him want to tease her more.

He could already picture her trembling in his arms, eyes misty.

But before he could act on the thought, a soft click came from the door.

Both Nate and Corrine turned toward the sound at the same time—only for their foreheads to knock together. A sharp thud. Then silence. A second later, they both tumbled back onto the bed. Nate let out a low chuckle.
