Her eyes narrowed, frustration bubbling up.

“Can you dress yourself properly?”

Nate raised an eyebrow, his confusion evident as he glanced down at his attire, seeing no fault in it.

Corrine reached up, her fingers tugging sharply at his collar, the cold edge of irritation clear in her voice.

“What kind of impression are you trying to make? You look ridiculous.”

“Ridiculous?” Nate looked down at the open collar again, a slow grin spreading across his face, his eyes lighting up with amusement.

Corrine noticed the shift in his expression and deliberately put on a stern face.

“Any objections?”

“No objections,” Nate murmured, his tone now teasing but obedient.

“I’ll listen to you, my girlfriend.”

He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her chin, before reaching up to button his shirt with exaggerated care.

“Are you happy now?” he asked, his voice playful as he met her gaze.

Corrine’s gaze lingered on Nate’s meticulously buttoned collar. The subtle curve of his Adam’s apple, now partially visible, only heightened the allure of his features, making him seem even more captivating than before.

Her brows knitted together as she pressed her lips into a thin line, taking in the face that seemed to cast a spell on everyone around him. She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It was always because of this face.

Nate noticed the slight furrow in her brow, his expression curious.

“Still upset?”

A slow smile curved across Corrine’s lips, her gaze becoming playful as she met his eyes.

“Mr. Hopkins, your charm is truly unmatched. No wonder you seem to captivate everyone you meet.”

“Well, hearing that from you, I must admit, it’s a bit of an ego boost,” Nate said with a smirk. He tightened his hold around her waist, pulling her closer, and then teasingly pinched the soft flesh at her side.

“I didn’t realize I was that charming.”

Corrine’s expression flattened, but her thoughts were anything but calm. What a show-off.

Nate caught the fleeting look on her face and chuckled, enjoying the playful tension between them.

“I wonder, though… are you perhaps interested in me?” His voice, smooth and seductive, drifted into her ear, sending a wave of warmth down her spine. Corrine’s breath hitched, her heart suddenly fluttering in her chest.

She didn’t answer right away, simply keeping her eyes fixed on him, the silence between them thick with unspoken words.

Nate noticed the blush creeping up her neck, his smile widening in triumph. He leaned in closer, his chin resting on her shoulder, his warm breath sending a shiver through her as he whispered, “I’m not interested in anyone else. I just want to use this face to charm you, Miss Holland. Will you come with me tonight?”

His breath on her ear was like a flame, hot and electrifying, making her senses momentarily numb.
