Natalie Vaughn initially just wanted to give Zane Thorne a pinch to see his reaction, but she didn't expect his muscles to feel so good under her touch.
She had seen Zane Thorne's physique on the day of the archery event: his arm muscles were sleek and attractive, strong yet not overly exaggerated—just the right balance on his frame.
Arms like these offered a great sense of security when holding someone; Natalie recalled the first time she met Zane Thorne, he had held her with those very arms.
As she thought about it, Natalie couldn't help but pinch again.
Zane Thorne: ...
"What are you doing?"
Natalie snapped back to reality, meeting Zane Thorne's smiling eyes, seeing no trace of pain on his face, she made no effort to hide her thoughts.
"Your muscles are nice to pinch."
Zane Thorne: ...
Quentin Donovan, covering his eyes as if he couldn't bear to watch: ...
"Who taught you to pinch a man's muscles in broad daylight?"
Natalie playfully winked.
"I've only pinched yours."
