The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 467:

Corrine seemed to sense his hesitation. Her arms wrapped around him like a snake ensnaring its prey, her lips tracing a slow, burning path from his chin to his lips, finally lingering at his Adam’s apple. Her breath was warm against his skin as she whispered, “I will not regret it…”

Nate’s gaze darkened, the flickering restraint in his eyes quickly unraveling.

A beat passed. Then another. And finally, he lost the battle with himself. With a swift motion, he rolled over, pinning her beneath him. His lips crashed onto hers, fierce and urgent.

Corrine gasped against his mouth, her body going weak beneath his touch, like a fish struggling for air. His hands found her, drawing a soft shudder from her as she instinctively tensed.

“Do not be afraid…” His cool, husky voice soothed her, his lips pressing featherlight kisses along her temple.

The room filled with warmth and a tenderness that wrapped around them like an unspoken promise.

Corrine felt her toes curl as if something inside her had snapped—a tension giving way to something deeper, something intoxicating. Her eyes widened, pupils darkening with the rush of emotions swirling within her.

She had no idea how much time passed before the room finally settled into silence, the air thick with the lingering scent of intimacy. Nate scooped her into his arms, carrying her out of the bathroom and gently laying her back on the bed.
