Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 41

Not too long ago, Jace had also given me a foot massage. It felt sweet then, but it didn't even come close to what I was feeling now.

I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it was Hayden's technique.

Hayden took my foot off his knee and placed it on another stone bench. As he stood up, I noticed his face was a bit red.

I thought he was just hot, but his next words told me otherwise.

When he was massaging my foot, he must have seen something. My face turned slightly red, but I wasn't about to lose my cool. I feigned indifference. "Why? Does my skirt bother you?"

Hayden's Adam's apple bobbed quickly. Then he strode out of the yard. Not long after, Macy's yelling stopped.
