The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0503 My entire body goes numb at Julian's words. The whole world had seen Nicholas, live, strip down and roll over.

Everyone must have been speculating what they saw. Was there even any question? What else could we have been doing but what we did? God, I never wanted to be in a pit again, but I still half-wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole, so that I wouldn’t have to live with this absolute mortification.

people already speculated so much about my relationship with Nicholas and with Julian. This only added more fuel to the fire,

julian watched my reaction with a curious, probing glance. Whatever my face looked like made him start to I smile like the devil that he was.

“Why, Piper,” he said, his voice sing- song and teasing. “Did something happen in that cave that you might not want the public to know about?” The blood rushed to my face so fast that I felt dizzy. “How much did the cameras show?” I asked. How much did it hear? I couldn’t bring myself to ask the second question aloud, but it still rattled around in my heart, echoing through my mind on an endless loop.

Embarrassment swelled up inside of me. I felt like I might be sick.

Julian, still watching me, noticed when his teasing didn’t land the right away

He'd likely thought he'd earn a blush, not the kind of near-death reaction I was currently having.

“Hey,” he said.

He placed his hand on my shoulder. His smile was still present, but it softened from its dagger’s edge sharpness.

Instead, now it seemed endeared and comforting. Maybe he was having mercy on me, thank God.

«The rain was too heavy for the sound to pick up anything else,” Julian said.

«And as soon as Nicholas rolled over, the view in the cave was too dark to see anything specific. The most anyone could see was some shifting shadows.

It certainly wasn’t enough to confirm anything sexy went on in that cave.” «please don't say it like that.” I buried

mv face in my hands. His wor ds brought me relief, but even though the mortification wore off, the embarrassment stayed.

This was closer to Julian's wheelhouse, and his sharp smirk returned. He waggled his eyebrows playfully.
