“Mom?”
Elio’s shocked and dismayed voice had shocked me back to reality.
The moment I realized what had happened, I took several steps away, my arms pulled tightly behind my back as I immediately stared at the floor in sheer embarrassment, gazing at the pretty red heels Olivia had generously let me borrow. The skirt of the brand-new dress she’d insisted on putting on me fluttered around my thighs.
What the fuck had we been doing?
I clutched the box containing the heartfelt present like a string pulling me back down to the earth. I couldn’t believe I’d been making out with Elio in his parents' house… in his dad’s office.
And worst of all, we’d gotten caught by his mother.
I bit my bottom lip, my face burning in shame. The only way it could have been more humiliating was if she’d caught us without any clothes on. Thank God for that small mercy, but this wasn’t great either.
