Claudia Ross mumbled in response, "I don't know."
Was she too slow, or was Wyatt Perry too suspicious? How come she didn't realize that Nigel Perry liked her?
They had been classmates for so many years, and she only saw him as a friend. She thought he felt the same way, that they were just friends.
Wyatt Perry must be overthinking things and misunderstood Nigel.
Just as Claudia was trying to defend herself a bit more, Wyatt, as if foreseeing her thoughts, promptly sealed her lips.
Only after a bout of nibbling and sucking did he release her lips, saying with lingering interest, "Each time you mention Nigel Perry, I'll kiss you once. I don't mind kissing you here until it gets dark."
He might not mind, but she certainly did!
Claudia quickly shut her mouth. She didn't dare mention the three words "Nigel Perry," and she even feared saying the name "Perry," lest Wyatt punish her.
When a man's shameless, it's thicker-skinned than a woman's.
