Snogging at the top of the world

Author's note: this is from Serina's point of view

"Ladies first.", Duke said while standing with his back facing the tree, and his hands joined at his waist level, palm up, gesturing that he will give me a boost.

After eyeing the tree whose top I couldn't see, I was not sure if I want to go with it, but Duke's challenging smirk made me change my mind. "Sure."

I put my foot in Duke's hands and leaped at the same time he pushed me up and I reached the lowest branch, lifting myself to sit on it.

I looked down at Duke and extended my hand, but he waved it as unnecessary.

"What about you?"

"Keep going. I will catch up.", he said confidently, not removing his gaze from my ass that was sticking out on the other side of the branch I was sitting on.

How can he be so shameless!?

I felt the heat creeping up my neck, but to be honest, I liked his smoldering blue eyes on me. Maybe I am the shameless one.
