Indeed, Jaxon's grip on my neck left me immobilized.
But the rest of my body was still free to move.
The darkness under the covers shrouded our actions from view.
So I took a bold chance, tracing a path down his abs.
Wherever I touched, his muscles tensed in response.
After a moment's hesitation, I inched lower, my fingertips barely grazing his V-line.
That's when Jaxon had quite a noticeable reaction.
It startled me too.
"You know what, I'll leave you guys alone tonight. Think I'll pull an all-nighter elsewhere," Dashiell said with a knowing tone, his eyes sweeping over Jaxon's bed.
He couldn't help but feel a twinge of disdain.
For all his cool, aloof demeanor towards girls and sky-high popularity, turns out Jaxon wasn't such a paragon of virtue after all.
If Dashiell's hunch was right, Jaxon had a girl hidden under those covers.
Though his imagination ran wild, he chose not to call them out.
He and Jaxon had a decent rapport, for one thing.
