Suddenly, the front door clicked open. Victoria was back. "Lilly!" she called out.
Lilly jumped in fright and immediately tried to scramble off Jason. "Victoria is home."
Jason's grip tightened around her waist, anchoring her in place. "Don't move."
"Are you crazy? Victoria is back, and she's looking for me!"
Victoria's voice echoed down the hall. "Lilly, where are you? Lilly? Jason?"
She was looking for Jason now, too.
Lilly's face burned scarlet. If Victoria walked in and caught them in the act, she would never be able to show her face again.
"Jason, let me go! Victoria is looking for us, we can't do this!"
"Call her," Jason murmured in a low voice. "Tell her you're not coming back tonight."
What did he mean?
Lilly refused immediately. "No!"
"No to what? No to making the call, or no to spending the night in my room?" Jason challenged.
He actually wanted her to spend the entire night here. Her mind was a chaotic mess. "Just no!"
"Then let Victoria walk in. Are you not embarrassed?"
"I..." Of course she was embarrassed.
Victoria's footsteps were getting closer. "Lilly? Jason? Are you guys here?"
She was heading straight for the bedroom.
Left with no choice, Lilly surrendered. She grabbed her phone and quickly dialed Victoria's number.
Victoria picked up immediately. "Hey, Lilly, where did you go? I couldn't find you."
Lilly cast a frantic glance at Jason before speaking. "Victoria, I went home. Get some rest, and I'll come see you tomorrow."
