My heart started to race. A tickling sensation filled me, rushing down my stomach and making me squeeze my thighs. A flush that surfaced on my cheeks was impossible to miss, just as much as the uncontrollable smile that curled my lips,

A peal of hysteric laughter escaped my throat. “What are you talking about?! I‘m not in,”
