Nate loosened his tie as he stepped into the house. He popped open the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing the fine line of his collarbone. Then he rolled up his sleeves with casual grace.
Leaning down, he retrieved a pair of slippers and knelt to help Corrinen vel change her footwear. As he bent over, his shirt gaped slightly, revealing a glimpse of his well-defined chest.
Corrine's eyes followed the line of his neck. Her throat grew dry, and the look in her eyes darkened, completely drawn in.
