Chapter 19 Collin, What''s
In Your Pants
It never crossed Collin''s mind that the immense debt he had casually fabricated would weigh so heavily on Linsey.
What struck him even more was how genuinely she seemed determined to face it with him.
He fixed his gaze on Linsey, sitting across from him, trying to look past her cheerful smile, searching for any trace of
uncertainty beneath the surface.
Perhaps it was all just a front.
How could there possibly be a woman so selfless, willing to help him without expecting anything in return?
In the soft glow of the dim lighting, Linsey remained blissfully unaware of the shift in his expression.
Her spirits were high from the sess of her new job at CR Corporation, and she was too excited to notice his internal
conflict.
She reached for the red wine on the table, matching Collin''s earlier move, and downed it in one swift motion.
But unlike Collin, who remainedposed, she immediately broke into a cough, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment
as her face turned a shade of pink.
"Why is this wine so strong?" She stuck her tongue out, making a yful face.
"You can''t handle your drink?" Collin asked, his gaze cool as he observed her difort.
Linsey shrugged lightly, herughter escaping in a small, embarrassed breath. "I don''t usually drink, but tonight''s different.
We''re celebrating, right?"
With a mischievous smile, she tried to pour herself another ss.
After a moment''s pause, Collin gently took the bottle from her unsteady grip, his tone calm andposed. "That''s enough. If you don''t enjoy drinking, you don''t need to force yourself."
Linsey blinked, stunned by his rare disy of concern, then quickly shook her head. "I''m not forcing myself. I''m just so happy today, I wanted to celebrate with a drink."
Collin nced at her briefly, his gaze softening. For a moment, he was entranced.
Her face was radiant, flushed with the warmth of the wine, and her eyes shimmered with the haze of intoxication.
Her lips, full and inviting, reminded him of ripe strawberries, their softness promising the sweetness of a thousand unspoken desires.
He couldn''t shake the thought that they would burst with juicy sweetness at the slightest press.
His throat tightened, and he involuntarily licked his suddenly dry lips, his voice dropping to a low, almost hoarse tone.

Chapter 19 Collin, What''s In Your Pants
"There are plenty of ways to celebrate. You don''t have to drink."
His words came from a ce of concern, but more than that, there was a gut instinct telling him that if she drank any
more, the night could take a turn he wasn''t sure he was ready for.
Linsey, however, shook her head stubbornly, herughter soft but firm. "No way. This wine cost a fortune! We can''t just
waste it."
She pouted slightly, her lips forming an adorable frown, ready to argue more, but then her eyes widened in a drunken haze.
She raised a slender finger and pointed at Collin, swaying slightly. "Hey, why are there two of you?"
Collin, resisting the urge to correct her, merely reached to take her ss away.
"My ss! Give it back!" Linsey protested loudly, standing up, trying to snatch it from his hands.
But the moment she tried to stand, her legs betrayed her, and she stumbled straight into Collin''s arms with a surprised
gasp.
Instinctively, he tightened his hold on her to steady her, his hands firmly gripping her waist.
Before he could say anything, he felt the soft pressure of her hand against his thigh.
"Collin, what''s in your pants?" Her voice was a dazed whisper, her eyes hazy as she tried to look down.
Collin''s heart skipped a beat, and a wave of difort rippled through him, his face hardening.
