Chapter 360 Is This Enough Skin Yet

James thought about it. Fine, Al didn’t support the idea of a male homearcher ring dragh the res

But James was determined to be one anyway.

After a moment of reflection, he decided to post anonymously on a certa for asking for help

“I want to be a male homewrecker. How do I move up?”

Almost as soon as he refreshed the page, someone had already replied.

“Hey, can I ask you something? What do you look like?”

What I he look like… James turned and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He answered courtfully. “Passable.”

“What about your body?” the person followed up immediately.

Expressionless, James tugged lightly on the edges of his tank top and replied just as honesty, Musend

“Dude, if you’re decent–looking and have muscles, then it should be easy to move upl

That user kept offering advice non–stop. “Since you’ve got the goods, then show them off These days what woman doesn’t love a guy with broad shoulders, a trim waist, and long legs? Trust me, strut around in front of her; wear as little as possible. To put it simply, seduce her with your body! I guarantee it won’t take long before she’s worshipping at the altar of your eight–pack abs!”

Wear as little as possible… So basically, I have to show off my body and use my looks to tempt her? James had bee raised on restraint, discipline, and proper manners.

The kind of flashy poses and expressions Jackson posted on Facebook had always been beneath him the idea of purposely showing skin felt entirely unacceptable.

But after that first user chimed in, a whole bunch of others jumped in too, all agreeing that using physical appeal was the most direct and effective method.

Throw in a few pouty looks, fake a bit of weakness, sprinkle in some sweet–but–scheming innocence, and success was pretty much guaranteed.

James didn’t know how to act cutesy. He had never once faked weakness and especially disliked manipulative charm.

But when he thought about how Jackson did use those tactics and how Lily seemed to like it…

He stared at the screen for a long time, then finally decided to give the online advice a shot.

Usually, after showering, he either wore a robe, a coordinated lounge set, a basic tank and shorts.

Tonight, he’d worn a tank top and shorts.

But if he wanted to show off his chest, abs, and that V–line, he couldn’t wear the tank.

Chapter 360 Is This Enough Skin Yet

Forcing himself to ignore every bone–deep instinct about modesty and decency, he pulled off the tank top

When he saw his reflection–his pecs, abs, and sharp V–line fully exposed–James’s handsome face darkened to the color of burnt charcoal.

Still, just before stepping out of the bathroom, he tugged his shorts down ever so slightly, making the V line even more prominent.

“Lily.”

He froze at the bathroom doorway for a long time before finally walking toward the bed.

And then, Lily had wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and was completely, hopelessly asleep.

Dark, frigid air rolled off of James, danger crackling in the air around him like a warning.

He truly hadn’t expected it–he’d overcome such a massive mental hurdle just to stand nearly naked in front of a girl for the first time in his life… and he didn’t even get the chance to seduce her.

He lifted his hand, face cold…

But in the end, he let it fall quickly back to his side.

She was sleeping so soundly. He couldn’t bring himself to wake her. Forget it. There’s always tomorrow.

He’d try again tomorrow…

After leaving the theater, Dennis, Zoey, and the others made their way to the Luke residence.

When the ambulance arrived, Simon had still ended up getting in.

Mary was so furious that she was practically wheezing. “How did I give birth to someone so ridiculous? He’s just…”

The more she thought about that foolish boy blindly defending Elsa, the angrier she got–until she couldn’t even speak.
