Chapter 161 Shared Intimacy

• The room felt smaller somehow, charged with a quiet intensity that made my heart pound in my chest. Brody was close behind me, the heat of his presence pressing against my back, and I could feel every shift of his movement. My senses were heightened, every brush of skin against skin sending shivers down my spine.
• Even as I leaned into Carson’s kiss, the world seemed to shrink to just the three of us. His lips were warm and insistent, gentle yet demanding, and I felt a thrill run through me at the way he held me close. My hands instinctively found their place on his shoulders, grounding myself as my body responded to the closeness.
• Brody’s hands were not far away, moving with a mixture of restraint and urgency. I could feel the teasing pressure of his fingers brushing against the soft curve of my thighs, the closeness of his body making the air between us almost electric. I swallowed hard, my chest rising and falling rapidly as a flush spread across my skin. There was a tension building, a magnetic pull that made me want to lean back into him, to feel more of him, yet I also wanted to savor every second of the moment, letting it stretch on endlessly.
