Near But Yet So Far: Part 2 (The Exhale Series)

She propositioned him.
He's countered by propositioning her.

She stated her terms and now he's counted with terms of his own. Will her issues prevent her from saying yes?

Their first kiss was intense and it's left a burning on her lips that she can't get out of her head. She knows she wants him but after a talk with her friend, she realises that she may have some issues left from a previous relationship.

Will Nathan be able to use his skills of persuasion or will she insist on saying no?

“Nathan, I still don’t think we should date while—”
“No dating, no arrangement.”
“Isn’t that blackmail?”
“And your point is?”
“It's blackmail.”
“So?”
“Nath—”
“Miah.”
