Chapter 203

 203:
Her movements were clumsy, far from graceful, yet he couldn’t look away. He was drawn deeper into the moment, his gaze darkening with intensity.
“You’ve got a good body, honey,” Linsey teased, her fingers trailing over his abs. But when she looked up, she met his burning stare.
Her heart skipped a beat, and the teasing smile slipped from her lips.
For some reason, a wave of regret washed over her.
She let out an awkward laugh, quickly releasing him and taking a step back.
But in a flash, Collin broke free from the tie and pulled her back into his arms with ease.
Linsey let out a startled cry as the world tilted, and she found herself pinned beneath him.
“Collin, what are you doing?” she asked, her voice trembling with nerves, her tongue darting out to wet her lips without thinking.
His eyes, dark and intent, fixated on her slightly damp, rosy lips. A sly, almost dangerous smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“You started this, Linsey, so now you have to finish it.”
Before she could respond, his lips crashed against hers again, stopping her words before they could leave her mouth.
What came next was a blur—a night of unrestrained, fiery passion that neither of them could pull away from.
The faint morning sunlight crept through the window, casting a soft glow over the disheveled bed.
A shrill ringtone sliced through the stillness. Linsey groggily opened her eyes, her head pounding as she fumbled for her phone.

But instead of her phone, her hand met the warmth of a firm, bare chest.
Her eyes snapped open in shock, locking onto Collin’s bare torso.
What shocked her even more were the marks scattered across his skin—marks that made her cheeks flush and her heart skip a beat.
“Ah!” Linsey gasped, a startled scream escaping her lips.
Collin stirred beside her, his voice rough with sleep as he caught her flailing hand. “What’s wrong?”
Linsey tried to pull her hand away, but it wouldn’t budge, her face burning with a mix of embarrassment and confusion.
“Why are you naked?” she blurted out before she could stop herself. They had only just started sharing a room, and now he had the nerve to sleep without clothes?
Collin raised an eyebrow, his gaze flicking briefly to her collarbone. “You’re not wearing anything, either.”
Linsey’s eyes widened in shock. She glanced down, her heart lurching when she realized she was just as bare.
The marks on her body stood out even more vividly than his.
Her mind went blank. Panicking, she grabbed the blanket and wrapped it tightly around herself. “Don’t look! Close your eyes!” she pleaded, her voice frantic.
Collin propped himself up on one arm, resting his head in his hand, watching her with a hint of amusement.
“I’ve already seen everything. Isn’t it a little late to be covering up now?” he teased.
His words sent a rush of vivid images through Linsey’s mind, making her pulse spike.
A wave of crimson flooded Linsey’s cheeks as a gasp escaped her lips. She stared at Collin, speechless, her mind reeling.
She had slept with Collin last night… The thought hung heavy in the air, unspoken but undeniable.
