I’m still hard thinking about it.
Jesus.
You can’t text me things like that.
Unknown Number
I just did.
Besides you like it.
Your thighs are probably clenched right now just reading this.
I relax my legs, just to prove a point.
If you aren’t careful, I’ll haul you into lockup.
Unknown Number
Promises, promises.
I start to grin.
What the fuck? I set the phone down and take a long drink of water. I’ll ignore him. I should pay and get to work anyway.
My phone buzzes again.
Who am I kidding? I can’t ignore him.
Unknown Number
You’re thinking about last night. I can feel it from here.
Know what, last night was nothing compared to what next time will be.
But that’s not why I texted you.
You sure?
Unknown Number
Mostly.
I just want to let you know the woman from last night is good. No worries.
I wince. I’ve been so preoccupied with Luke that I forgot to ask about the woman. Was that why he climbed through my window last night—to distract me from what had happened?
I scowl at my phone. If he’d wanted to do that, he wouldn’t have brought her up again. Sure, he’s being vague, but I feel like it’s to protect her.
Yes, I want to believe that’s why he’s vague and not because this is all to distract me from what’s going on at Blackthorn Ranch.
And?
Unknown Number
And nothing.
