Chapter 301 Drawing Circles Along Her Spine
Thirty minutes later, they reached Platinum Apartments.
As they entered, Nate paused in the foyer, observing Corrine retrieve a pair of men’s slippers from a cabinet. His expression shifted subtly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Noticing his intrigued look, Corrine offered a calm explanation. “Jules insisted I keep these here. He thinks it’s safer if it seems like I’m not living alone.”
Nate let out a resigned sigh. “You have a knack for shattering the illusion.”
He had been fantasizing about their future together under one roof.
With a playful blink, Corrine responded, “Should I apologize for that?”
At a loss for words, Nate simply watched her.
“Head to the guest room and relax,” she suggested, pulling her hair up with a scrunchie.
Nate softly placed a stray hair back in place. “And what will you be doing?”

Corrine raised an eyebrow. “Is that a complaint?”
He pressed his face into her neck, his breath warming her skin. “Not at all. I relish every obstacle you set before me. Winning your heart is just a matter of time.”
Her lips curled into a slight smile.

“Rogue?” Nate murmured, slowing his steps, a hint of amusement on his face
His smirk deepened. “Perhaps I should act the part, then?”
Corrine was at a loss for words.
Such an absurd conversation.
She suddenly found herself on the bed, caught in his embrace.
The room fell silent, sparking her imagination.
She lay with her cheek against his chest, feeling his warmth through the fabric. His clean, heady scent quickened her heartbeat.
Then, his hand moved to her back, his fingertips drawing languid circles along her spine, causing her to tense.
Noticing her reaction, Nate’s grin grew. “Are you afraid of me?” @
