Corrine's body was taut, her grip on the bedsheet tightening involuntarily, the fabric bunching in her clenched
fists.
"Nate, I'm begging you."
Her voice, soft and fragile, trembled with a hint of desperation.
As the words escaped her lips, Nate's deep yet gentle voice echoed from above her, sending a shiver down her
spine. "What did you say?"
Startled, Corrine snapped her eyes open to see Nate leaning over her, his hand reaching across to grab the
hairdryer from the nightstand. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, a
wave of embarrassment flooding her.
So, he wasn't...

Corrine bit her lip, her gaze falling to the bed. "It's nothing."
"Really?" Nate's eyes glinted with mischief, a knowing smile curling at his lips. "But | clearly heard you say you
were begging me. What is it you're beggingfor?"
His voice was rich, magnetic, laced with an irresistible allure that made her heart skip.
Corrine's blush deepened, creeping down to her ears, her pulse racing with the sudden surge of heat.
Seeing the teasing smile tugging at his lips, she realized he was deliberately playing
with her.
Clearing her throat, she tried to steady the rapid beat of her heart and replied, her voice steady despite the
flutter in her chest, "Nothing."
Nate watched her intently, the faint blush still lingering on her cheeks. His smile widened, his eyes sparkling with
amusement. "Chere."
He adjusted the hairdryer, and then beckoned her with a lazy finger.
"I can do it myself," Corrine protested, sitting up and reaching for the hairdryer.
But before she could grasp it, Nate swiftly dodged backward, raising the hairdryer above his head like a playful
challenge.
Caught off guard, Corrine stumbled forward and fell right into his arms. The impact was sharp, sending a jolt of
sensation through her, and she blinked, her eyes glistening with a mix of surprise and embarrassment.
"Nate, do you have any idea how infuriating you are?"
She shot him an exasperated glare, turning her back to him as she perched at the foot
of the bed, her posture stiff with frustration.
Nate's arm snaked around her waist, pulling her back into his embrace with a
quiet but undeniable strength. "Not as infuriating as you."
"What do you mean?" Corrine's voice was sharp with disbelief, and she twisted to face
him. "Explain yourself!"
Nate's lips curled into a playful smile, his breath warm against her ear as he leaned down, his lips brushing her
cheek with a tenderness that caught her off guard. "You agreed to be with me, yet you keep a distance from me.
You makealways think about you. Isn't that infuriating?"
Corrine froze, her mind momentarily blank, the sweetness of his words disarming her.

Her heart felt as if it were floating, overwhelmed by the sincerity and warmth behind
his simple statement.
So this was what it felt like to be showered with a man's sweet nothings.
Though her mind screamed for her to keep her composure, her heart betrayed her, sinking deeper into the
moment, pulled in by his unexpected tenderness.
Her eyelashes fluttered, her gaze turning slowly to meet his, her heart hammering. wildly in her chest.
It was almost impossible to believe that a man with such a captivating presence had been single all these years.
With his influence, his undeniable charm, he could easily have anyone he wanted.
Could it be that there was something about him, ssecret, that kept him from fully opening up to others?
Nate, sensing the sympathy in her eyes, furrowed his brows slightly. "What are you thinking?"
"Nothing." Corrine lowered her gaze, hiding the swirl of emotions that threatened to spill over.
Nate watched her for a moment, his eyes softening before he turned on the hairdryer.
His fingers slid through her silky hair, his touch gentle as he massaged her scalp, noticing the slight tremor in her
body as he held her close.
