Nidia Roberts? Or Nidia Stone?

Nidia scowled.

Thanks to Jackson, there was a split second when she really did feel like she was being transported back to high school, backed into a corner by some flirty senior.

However, there was certainly no one in her school - senior or otherwise -- who was as good-looking as Jackson.

He already looked strikingly handsome in a suit, and hearing what he said made Nidia's heart flutter.

Just as she was about to give him a witty retort, her cheek was once again cupped by Jackson. Nidia could feel the warmth of his palm upon her skin as he caressed her.

It was by no means a gentle touch, but it was not rough either.

It was slow and deliberate, as if he was trying to lure her in for a kiss and perhaps something more.

Nidia gulped. She tried to contain herself, but she was blushing so furiously that she could not even meet Jackson's eyes.
