After a pause, his lips parted, and he suggested, "Why not find out for yourself?" Corrine's breath hitched, the words rattling in her mind. She had no idea how to even begin to answer that.
Not waiting for her to speak, Nate leaned in again, his lips capturing e hers in a kiss that left her breathless.
Through their shared ragged breaths, she could barely make out handwh voice murmuring, "Maybe... we En should try..."
Nate's body stiffened, though he made no verbal reply. Instead, his lips began their journey down her skin, tasting her as though savoring a forbidden fruit.
