Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Stella felt like she wanted to curl up and disappear.

"Dear God, if you could just strike me with lightning right now, that'd be great," she thought, mortified.

Ronald raised an eyebrow. "Star?"

Stella let out an awkward laugh, her cheeks turning a bright shade of red. She was seriously embarrassed.

Finley... that troublemaker.

Would Ronald be mad at Finley? Stella wasn't sure, but she was tempted to strangle him herself.

Seeing her frozen in place, Ronald pulled her into his arms. His long arms wrapped around her effortlessly as he grabbed the item she was clutching.

Stella panicked and tried to hold on, struggling to keep it from him.

"No, don't look," she pleaded, her face scrunched up in embarrassment.

Ronald chuckled softly, easily taking the item from her grasp.

Stella buried her head into his chest, utterly embarrassed.

From above, Ronald's amused voice reached her ears. "Star, are you trying to tell me something?"

"I'm not, I swear," Stella mumbled, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, too embarrassed to face him.

Finley, that jerk! She silently cursed him to a lifetime of being single.
