Chapter 436 The Truth Between Us

* Free Colo

James knew Lily’s heart belonged to Jackson. The fact that he still coveted her, still ler his thoughts stray toward her, was despicable enough to make her feel sick.

But he wasn’t a coward who would pretend otherwise. Since she had already seen through the filth in his heart, he wouldn’t deny it.

Ears burning, eyes still shut, he spoke the truth. “Lily, I like you.”

“Last night I… I was drunk, burning up with fever, and I crossed the line. !

“It wasn’t crossing the line. I wanted it too.”

Since their feelings were mutual, Lily didn’t want to keep running–or give him the chance to escape either. She simply said, “James, I like you.”

“What?”

James’s eyes flew open.

He thought he must be dreaming.

He pinched himself quietly. It hurt. This wasn’t a dream.

He gave his earlobe a discreet tug, wondering how to be sure, when he heard her again–her voice sweet and teasing.

“James, you’re not dreaming, and you didn’t hear wrong. I like you!”
