Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 466

Iceblade was almost unfairly hot. Seriously, it wasn’t just Lucinda. Any girl would have a hard time resisting the way he flirted.

She stared at him, wide-eyed and flustered. “You… you…”

His smile just grew, all confidence and mischief. “You don’t believe me?”

“Stop it. If you keep this up, I’ll tell my parents and have them kick you out.” Lucinda didn’t know what was happening to her. For a second, she’d almost fallen under his spell.

“I’m not making anything up. I fell for you the moment I saw you. Can’t you tell?” Iceblade said, stepping closer, like he was about to kiss her.

Lucinda’s heart raced and she stumbled back, cheeks burning.

Maybe it was because Lydia had been making her feel so small lately, so hearing someone say they liked her instead of Lydia felt like a win. Ha, maybe Jay actually had good taste. Lydia wasn’t all that special anyway.

“You… you really like me?” Lucinda asked, feeling a sudden surge of pride. If Jay wanted to stick by her side, she wasn’t about to stop him.

Iceblade just blinked at her. “Did you need something, Lucinda?”

She hesitated, thinking it over.

He lowered his voice, almost conspiratorial. “Whatever you want, I’ll make it happen.”

Lucinda grinned. “So if I asked you to steal Lydia away from Connor, you’d do it?”

Iceblade looked surprised. “You’re into Connor?”

“That’s not your business. Just get Lydia away from him, and…” she trailed off.

“But I like you,” he said again.
