Ruby: Now that’s a loaded question and might have multiple answers.
Lyric: Are you being naughty, Red?
Why yes, I think I was. And it felt good. I laughed, throwing myself backward onto my bed.
Ruby: Would you like it if I was?
Never had I had a conversation like that with any man. It was exhilarating.
When the three little dots appeared and he was typing, my heart beat faster wondering what he was going to say.
Lyric: Like it? Hell no, I would love it.
A giddy feeling washed through me. I hated to end the fun, but I had to get moving or I’d be late.
Ruby: I hate to rush but I have to get dressed or I’ll be late for lunch with the ladies. I don’t think going out in my bra and panties will work and lying on my bed is not getting me far.
I had no clue why I divulged that info. When nothing happened for a few minutes, I thought I’d upset him. Maybe I sounded rude or went overboard on the info I shared? I wasn't sure what to do. But then he messaged back.
Lyric: The image of you lying on your bed in nothing but your bra and panties has me rock hard. God, Red, what I would give to see that right now.
He’d told me he didn’t say things he didn’t mean so I believed him and his words sparked to life the need to have him in my bed with me. I decided to be honest even if it was scary as shit.
Ruby: I wish you were here now next to me.
Lyric: Me too, sweetheart. Me too. Have fun with the girls and I’ll come over after work. We’ll go from there with the call and anything else you have in mind. Does that sound good?
If we did the other things I had in mind, he wouldn’t be leaving until the following morning.
Ruby: Yeah, sounds great. But Lyric?
I didn’t finish the text and hit send. I was hesitating asking for what I wanted.
Lyric: Ask for what you want, Red.
How did he freaking know what I was thinking or that I was having trouble voicing my thoughts? The man was just spooky sometimes.
Ruby: Will you stay the night with me?
It was a big ask, but I wanted to spend more time with him. And I wanted the man naked even if my inexperience showed like a flashing neon sign across my forehead. I’d only been with two people and those turned out to be disasters. But everything about Lyric drew me to him and I couldn’t walk away.
Lyric: Thought you would never ask. But do you think Jett will be okay with it? And should I be worried about waking up to your Grandpa’s shotgun come morning, ready to blow off my balls?
I laughed so hard at the last part I had tears rolling down my face. It was sweet that he worried about them but I was a grown woman and I deserved to have a life. Right? It may have never been something I’d done before but they would have to get used to it.
Lyric: Not that I wouldn’t take the risk for you.
When he added that, I may have fallen even more for the man.
Ruby: They will be fine. It’s what I want. If you want it too?
Lyric: Nothing I want more right now. I will see you soon. And text me if you need anything. Have fun today.
He followed up the text with the heart, kissy face emoji.
My heart pounded and I wasn’t sure then what to say. So many things were running through my head. The man was something else. And not like anyone else that was for sure.
Ruby: Thanks.
