Chapter 96: Have her wrapped around his fingers

David chuckled softly, his hands gently caressing her back. "Absolutely. I could say the same about you, Ms. Carissa. Quite the sight."

Carissa grinned, leaning in closer. "Oh really? I'm glad you think so. You're not too bad yourself."

David raised an eyebrow teasingly. "Just 'not too bad'? I might have to work on that."

Carissa gasped playfully. "Oh, is that a challenge?"

David smirked, pulling her even closer. "Maybe it is. Are you up for it?"

Carissa's eyes sparkled with playful defiance. "Bring it on, David. I'm always up for a challenge."

David laughed softly, his fingers tracing patterns on her skin. "I like your spirit. But I warn you, I can be quite persuasive."

Carissa wriggled her brows. "Oh, I'm counting on it."

David's voice lowered, his gaze intense as he whispered, "You have no idea how much I want you right now."
