NovelUpdateChapter 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.

Both Nate and Corrine turned toward the sound at the stime-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.
"That would be my grandma." Corrine pressed her lips together, a faint crease forming between her brows.

Her hand, resting on his chest, could m feel the solid warmth of his body e through the through the thin fabric of his shirt.
Nate caught the tension in her, his smirk deepening as a glint of mischief flickered in his eyes.
Lowering his head, he let his lips brush lightly against her forehead, his voice dropping into a smooth, deliberate murmur. "Just the two of us in here... shouldn't we make the most of it?" Corrine swallowed, her thoughts spinning, before giving him a wary glance.
"And what exactly does that mean?"
Before she could finish her sentence, the world around her suddenly tilted.
A bi shadow Igomed over her, and before she could react, she found herself pinned beneath Nate.
