Chapter 57

Lorelei's eyes got pinned on the sight just meters away from her. Her mouth agape and her mind blank for a second, leaving her completely unable to think nor react to their current situation.

This was precisely why she opposed Jace's suggestion to meet at his place. The moment he asked her, she was afraid something like this would happen one way or another. And now… it's really happening.

"Quit ogling, will you?" Jace's words snapped her back to reality.

It felt like cold water was poured all over her to make her wake up finally.

"WHY WOULD YOU PEEK FROM THE BATHROOM NAKED?!" Lorelei roared, finally able to react.

Jace flinched at her shriek. "Why are you yelling?!" he grumbled.

"Because you–" her eyes trailed down his left shoulder and a portion of his pec, and then threw a throw pillow from his couch in his direction. "Is that even supposed to be asked?! Y-you aren't dressed, for heaven's sake! Jesus Christ."
