They spoke in hushed tones for a few minutes with Marcus’s voice dripping with fake sincerity until finally Lily nodded with a face still flushed.

Marcus glanced back at Alexander and made a subtle flick of his fingers signaling for him to follow before they walked toward the very back of the library to disappear behind the towering shelves of the history section where the security cameras didn’t reach.

As soon as they were hidden Marcus didn’t waste a second and pulled Lily toward him to begin kissing her while he slid the heavy glasses off her face and unzipped her oversized sweater.

As the fabric fell away Alexander’s eyes nearly popped out of his head because Lily was hiding a masterpiece under those baggy clothes with a tiny snatched waist that led up to a pair of heavy full breasts.

While they were kissing Marcus opened one eye to catch Alexander’s gaze and gave him a sharp wink "Come here" said Marcus.

Alexander stepped forward with a heart hammering against his ribs but the floorboards groaned under his weight making Lily gasp and pull away in a panic.

She looked at Alexander and then back at Marcus with eyes filling with hurt "What is this were you playing with me?" said Lily.

She looked like she was about to bolt but Marcus grabbed her shoulders while keeping his voice low and soothing "It’s not like that it’s just that my friend is exactly like me because we’re both incredibly shy and we hate being left out so do you think my friend is ugly?" said Marcus.

Lily blinked while her gaze flickered over to Alexander "Ugly? He’s the Prince of the drama club" said Lily.

Alexander felt his face heat up because it seemed his reputation as the Prude Prince actually carried some weight after all.

Marcus whispered into her ear that he was the more daring one but his friend was so timid "Wouldn’t you like to help him out?" said Marcus.

Lily looked at Alexander’s tall frame and his nervous expression until her maternal pity kicked back in and she slowly nodded while lowering her head.

Marcus let go of her and gave Alexander one last smirk before vanishing into the stacks to leave them alone.

Alexander scratched the back of his neck while looking down at the floor with genuine embarrassment "Sorry my friend is a bit..." said Alexander.

Lily looked at him and noticed his shyness wasn’t an act "It doesn’t matter because I don’t mind if it’s you" said Lily. She stepped closer and gave him a tender kiss while Alexander responded with a heart hammering against his ribs as they began to make out.

The thrill of being in the library where they could be caught at any second made his pulse race.

Alexander rested his hands on her waist but the assertiveness from the night before seemed to have vanished replaced by the timid boy he used to be.

Lily let out a soft laugh "Your hands go here" said Lily. She took his hands and guided them down to her buttocks until Alexander squeezed them and she let out a small sharp moan "You have such strong hands I love them" said Lily.

Alexander realized that his vulnerability was exactly what she liked so he decided to play into his Prude Prince persona to mimic his friend’s manipulative sensitivity.

He glanced down at her chest and Lily noticed his gaze with a smirk "You’re staring at my breasts a lot do you like them?" said Lily.

"Yes..." said Alexander.

"Then why don’t you play with them for a bit?" said Lily while pulling him closer. Alexander moved his hands up to finally cup her breasts and the weight of them surprised him because she had kept them so well-hidden "You’re such a good boy" said Lily.

The phrase hit Alexander like a bucket of ice water making him flash back to Helen and he wondered if every woman in this city was obsessed with this maternal fantasy. Despite the thought he didn’t stop and squeezed her again feeling her pulse quicken "Do you want to taste them?" said Lily.

Alexander looked up at her with his best puppy dog eyes looking as innocent as possible "Can I?" said Alexander.

Lily let out a soft melodic laugh "Here" said Lily. She pulled her shirt up and popped one breast free from her bra while Alexander leaned in to take her nipple into his mouth and swirl his tongue around the tip. Suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps echoed from the next aisle over and both of them jumped while pulling apart in a frantic blur of limbs.

Lily scrambled to fix her shirt and put her glasses back on while Alexander tried to look like he was just searching for a book on macroeconomics.

Once the coast was clear they both burst into a quiet stifled fit of laughter "I have to get back to the desk" said Lily.

"Wait can I have your number?" said Alexander.

"Of course" said Lily. She scribbled it on a scrap of paper and handed it to him while Alexander tucked it safely into his pocket "Can I call you?" said Alexander.

"Anytime you want" said Lily. She gave him one last playful look before disappearing back toward the front of the library while Alexander was left alone in the stacks with a new trophy and a lot of questions.
