He gently pinched Raegan’s cheek, his voice husky as he inquired, “What did you just say?”
Possibly discomforted by the pinch, Raegan shifted away, emitting an unconscious hum.

Trapped within his powerful arms, Raegan found herself unable to move.
She could only look at his face.
With Mitchel’s collar slightly open from their proximity, Raegan’s eyes traced the lines of his taut abdominal muscles. He was undeniably handsome, and she couldn’t help but feel drawn to him.
