âYouâre the best, Yvie! From now on, youâre our one and only queen!â
The girls quickly saved the photos to their phones, giddy with excitement. Knowing Nancy would love these, Yvette forwarded the photos to her as well.
Nancyâs response arrived almost instantly. âWho knew Ashton had a body like that? Nice, very nice!â
Nancy was lost in thought while admiring the photos on her phone when it was suddenly snatched from her hands.
âWhat?â She looked up, meeting Jacobâs dangerously narrowed eyes.
âDo you like seeing such things?â Jacob thought Nancy was engrossed in something important, given how intently she was staring at her screen. But abs? Seriously?
Nancy instinctively wanted to nod, but her survival instincts kicked in. Swallowing hard, she stammered, âTâTheyâre okay, I guess. Itâs not that big of a deal!â
Jacob found Nancyâs flustered look adorable. He gently ruffled her hair.
âIf you like looking at abs, just look at mine,â he said seductively.
As for anyone elseâs⦠Jacobâs eyes narrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he deleted the photos.
Nancy had been momentarily dazzled by his tenderness, but when she saw all her saved photos vanish, she snapped back to reality. Her expression darkened, and she pouted in`
protest.
âHey! Whyâd you delete all my photos?â
âNance, youâre not allowed to look at stuff like that anymore,â Jacob said gently, though his tone left no room for argument.
âWhy should I listen to you?â Nancyâs rebellious streak flared as she lifted her chin defiantly.â Iâll look if I want to! You⦠You canât control me!â
âOh, so you wonât even listen to your boyfriend?â Jacobâs tone was deceptively calm, but there was an edge to it.
Nancyâs cheeks flushed a bright red at the word âboyfriendâ, but she kept her resolve firm. âI never agreed to be your⦠girlfriend!â
No way was she going to let him have the upper hand so easily. Heâd been playing it cool for too long, so it was time to make him work for it.
âOh, really?â Jacobâs eyes darkened dangerously, and his voice dropped to a chilling whisper, laced with a hint of a threat. âSo, you arenât going to take responsibility?â
âI told you, that was just an accident!â Nancyâs gaze flickered away, trying to mask her flustered state. âWeâre both adults, Jacob. Itâs no big deal.â
âNo big deal, huh?â Jacob smirked. His expression was unreadable as he reached up, fingers poised to remove his glasses.
âWe can always do it again.â
Nancyâs eyes widened in panic, and she instantly grabbed his arm, stopping him from taking off his glasses.
