Thalia’s face went scarlet in an instant. She turned away, attempting to deny everything with what little dignity she could muster. “What on earth are you talking about? I would never say something like that…”

The corner of Asher’s mouth quirked upward. “No?”

“Of course not!” Thalia’s voice grew progressively quieter, her confidence waning with each word. “I mean… I couldn’t possibly have… not in front of everyone…”

His arms remained firmly around her waist. “Trying to escape? Have you forgotten how thoroughly you teased me last night? You can’t simply wind me up and then disappear.”

The scent of shower gel lingered on his skin–Thalia recognized it as her own usual brand.

“Lia,” he murmured against her lips, “may I?”

The faint morning light gradually brightened, and even the air between them felt charged with electricity.
