Before I could process what was happening, Lucas scooped me up and bundled me in his arms. The shirt I wore barely covered anything, and I tucked myself against his chest as he carried me swiftly down the hallway toward my bedroom.
Levi followed closely behind, gathering our scattered clothing as we made our hasty retreat. My heart hammered against my ribs as we slipped into my bedroom, Lucas kicking the door shut behind us.
For a moment, we all froze, listening for footsteps on the stairs. When none came, the tension broke, and we dissolved into nervous laughter.
“That was close,” Levi whispered, dropping our clothes in a pile by the bed. “Too close.”
“Your face,” Liam snickered, pointing at me. “You looked absolutely terrified.”
I swatted at him playfully. “Because I was! Can you imagine if Jessie had caught us all naked in the hallway?”
Lucas set me down on the bed, his eyes dancing with amusement. “Maybe she would get the hint after that?”
