Colton looked at Nicole's slightly discomfited appearance and failed to stifle his chuckle.

He grabbed Nicole's hand and teased, "You okay? Was I too…"

After giving Colton a harsh glare, Nicole wanted to take her hand back, but Colton's hands were like iron handcuffs

tightly wrapped around her wrist.
