Chapter 2

Temptation made me bold.

My hand started sliding up her thigh, slow and careful.

But right then, Lily suddenly reached out and pressed my left hand down.

My heart leapt into my throat. What would I do if she turned on me in front of everyone?

I was already bracing myself for the worst getting humiliated in front of everyone, maybe even getting kicked out of school.

"Not there," Lily whispered.

Had I heard her correctly?

Lily opened her big, sparkling eyes and looked right at me, her eyes shy and a little flustered.

My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might explode. I was totally lost for words, but it hit me Lily wasn't upset at all about what I'd done.

Could it be...

My left hand was still on her right thigh, and both her hands were holding mine in place.

Lily knew she wasn't as strong as me, so she suddenly let go, dropped down, and gave my arm a playful bite.

It hurt a little, but in that moment, it felt electric like I'd touched something totally new.

"Jack, you bad boy," Lily teased, staring up at me with those big eyes, all playful and flirty.

Honestly, I didn't want to push my luck, so I let go of her hand.

Lily sat up, fixed her skirt, and shot me a cute pout.

I knew she wouldn't make a scene, so I shamelessly locked eyes with her.

Seeing her pout so cutely, I couldn't help myself. I reached out, wrapped my arm around her slim waist, and pulled her right into my arms.

She let out a small cry. Fortunately, the professor was speaking loudly enough that no one else heard, and she quickly covered her mouth.

"What are you doing? Please stop," she said, flustered as she pushed me away.

She squirmed in my arms, clearly not comfortable with how close I was getting.

Her sudden cry snapped me out of it I quickly let her go, and for a moment, we stared at each other, neither of us saying a word.

After a while, she slumped over her desk again, but this time her eyes were wide open, locked onto me.

I followed her lead, slumping over my desk and staring right back at her.

We kept staring at each other, not saying a thing.

Suddenly, Lily reached out and gently ran her fingers through my hair. "Jack, are you upset?"

"No, I'm not mad. Sorry, I got a little carried away," I said.

Lily arched her brow, a faint smile tugging at her lips as she lightly traced her finger along my arm. "You're really something.

"Do you want to touch me again?"

I could hardly believe what I had heard.

I had never expected Lily to say such a thing, especially with that flirtatious expression.

I wasn't some saint, only a fool would pass up a chance like this.

I reached out with my naughty left hand again, but this time Lily grabbed it and pressed it down on her thigh. "Only here," she said.

Guys often push their luck, and my mind was screaming to take things further, but when I saw Lily's face getting a little annoyed, I stopped myself.

But I couldn't resist, I let my hand slide from her thigh right to the soft inner part, feeling my heart race the whole time.

Just then, the bell rang and everyone started packing up. I yanked my hand back in a hurry, and Lily shot me a mischievous grin.

"Are you done groping me? Come with me, or I'll tell everyone you harassed me, Jack," Lily whispered, leaning in close.

Then she got up and headed for the door.

I hurried after her.

She glanced back when she saw me leave the classroom, then kept walking upstairs on her own.

I followed Lily through a maze of hallways until we finally reached the rooftop.

She was leaning against the railing, gazing off into the distance, lost in thought.

With the rooftop empty, I boldly walked over and affectionately slipped my arm around Lily's shoulder.

"Jack, did it feel good touching me just now? If it did, then you have to do something for me," Lily said.
