“Are you so sure?”

In that moment, Nate turned off the hairdryer, the room growing quiet except for the steady beat of her heart. His fingers, long and strong, gently cupped her chin, tilting her face upward as his dark eyes locked onto hers with a searing intensity.

“Corrine, you’ve caught my attention, and there’s no turning back now.”

Corrine’s lips parted to speak, but before a word could escape, his fingers pressed softly against them, silencing her.

“You can continue to doubt me,” he murmured, his voice low and certain.

“But I have no problem cutting off all your escape routes to prove that in this lifetime—you can only be mine.”

Once a man with such deep-seated obsession set his sights on something, it became an unstoppable force.

The dim light accentuated his sharp features, and though a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, it didn’t reach his eyes. He exuded an air of danger, like something that had emerged from the shadows—relentless and untamed.

Yet Corrine found herself drawn to him, her body leaning in closer without conscious thought. Faced with such an irresistibly captivating face, it was impossible to stay composed. She thought she might as well follow her heart and see where it led.

“I’ll prove it to you,” she murmured, her voice steady but filled with quiet determination.

Nate’s eyebrows arched, a knowing smile dancing in his eyes.

“Prove what?”

Before he could finish speaking, Corrine unexpectedly wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her head up to kiss him. Her lips, soft and warm, brushed against his in a delicate, sweet caress.

Nate’s eyes widened slightly, surprise flickering in his gaze as he looked at her. It was a fleeting kiss, but it was enough to leave a lingering warmth on his lips. As she pulled away, the sensation evaporated almost instantly, leaving him longing for more.

He instinctively pressed his lips together, savoring the faint taste, unwilling to let the moment slip away. His dark eyes locked with hers, revealing an intensity that spoke of a restless, unspoken need.

“You have to keep your word,” Corrine said, her smile radiant and teasing.

“For the rest of your life, no other woman but me.”

Nate’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the restlessness in his heart gradually faded.

“It’s late,” Corrine added, her tone hinting that he should leave.

“I should get some sleep.”

She stood up, making it clear she was ready to retreat to the safety of her bed. But before she could move, his hand shot out, grabbing her wrist with a force that pulled her back toward him.

Her expression shifted, surprise crossing her face as she stumbled into his embrace, unprepared for his sudden closeness.

With a swift motion, he pinned her wrists to the bed, his presence overwhelming, his breath cool against her skin.

His handsome face loomed closer, and before she could react, his lips crashed into hers in a passionate, commanding kiss.

Corrine’s eyes widened in shock as Nate’s firm, commanding embrace pulled her in, his overwhelming passion engulfing her. He kissed her deeply, his lips pressing against hers with an insistent hunger, exploring every inch of her with feverish desire.
