Ross looked up from the ice bag and smirked, clearly amused.
"That's the plan," he replied with a cocky grin.
"Or maybe I'll start with the other two first. I'm just waiting for the right opportunity."
Lily raised an eyebrow, surprised by how easily he admitted it.
But then again… this was Ross.
"Wow. Not even pretending to be subtle, huh?" she said, though her lips curled into a smile. "You're shameless."
"I prefer honest," he said smoothly, taking a step toward her.
That slight movement made her pulse jump.
She told herself it was just the alcohol making her more aware of his presence—his body, his eyes, that smug confidence that seemed to radiate off him like heat.
"You wouldn't dare," she said, her tone light but laced with challenge.
"My family's powerful, you know. If you mess with me, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Ross chuckled under his breath, unfazed.
