Chapter 54: Blush, Baby, Blush

[JASMINE – POV]

I thought I had him cornered.

Dare Lucas to make me blush? Easy win. I didn't blush. Ever. Not for anyone.

But then he leaned in.

"Is this close enough?" he whispered, lips hovering by my ear. "Or do I need to tell you how good you smelled when you walked past me this morning?"

Okay, what?!

My heart skipped.

I rolled my eyes to hide the heat creeping up my neck.

"You're not even trying," I said, voice almost steady.

He smirked. "Oh, Jasmine... I haven't even started."

Then, right there in the middle of class, Lucas scribbled something on a piece of paper and slid it into my palm.

I still remember how your lips tasted under the library stairs. Let me remind you.

My fingers curled around the note like it had burned me.

And just like that... my face was on fire.

"Blushing?" he asked casually.

I glared at him. "You're annoying."

"But I win," he said, leaning back like a king on a throne.

And dammit... he did.
