* * *
I’d almost fallenasleep when a burst of laughter from Roni’s room jolted meawake.
Okay, maybe I wasasleep.
Slow, sexy music was still playing faintly from my laptop. Pink Floyd’s “Hey You.” The words jarred me from my daze. Something about being naked… and sitting by aphone…
I wasn’t naked, but… I groped for my phone tocheckit.
There was a newmessage.
Brody:Thinking aboutyoutoo.
I blinked as the light from the screen stung my eyes, making sure I’d read the wordsright.
He’d textedmeback.
And he was thinkingaboutme.
Instantly, I was wide awake. I turned the phone to vibrate so I wouldn’t miss any more messages, and texted himagain.
Me:I got your messages. Just wanted to think about some things before I got backtoyou.
Then I chewed on my lip and waited, but I didn’t have to wait long before hetextedback.
Brody:Uptoyou.
Well, he sounded pissed.Still.
But at least he was textingmeback.
Me:Is it lame if I apologize over textmessage?
Brody:Yes. But I’lltakeit.
Hmm.Progress.
If only it werethateasy.
I took a breath and tookaleap.
Me:What r udoing?
Brody:Eating take out in myunderwear.
Okay. Maybe itwasthateasy?
Because I got a definite visual on that. A visual he wanted metoget?
Brody lounging back on his bed, long legs crossed at the ankles, all naked and tattooed except for a pair of… briefs? Black briefs? Really, really small ones that barely covered hisbigdick.
Yeah, I was a pervertlikethat.
I pictured him with a take-out container in his lap, next to his big dick, and maybe some chopsticks? Slurping onnoodles…
