Jace: I was driving home when you sent it. Almost crashed my damn car.
Me: That’s the kind of response I was hoping for.
Jace: Now if you excuse me, I’m going to spend some quality time with this photo for the next ten minutes.
I unzipped my jeans and got comfortable while looking at Jace’s photo again, and at our sexy text exchange. Eventually, my fingers slid down into my jeans.
I was gasping and shuddering with release within minutes.
We still haven’t done anything, I told myself.Texting him is wrong, but as long as we don’t actually hook up, we’re not crossing the biggest line.
But after so many lines crossed already, I wondered how long it would be until wedidcross that one.

Jace texted me the next morning while I was getting ready for class.
Jace: I hope you enjoyed my photo as much as I enjoyed yours.
Me: That depends. How much did you like mine?
Jace: A dangerous amount. I barely slept.
Me: I hope you don’t have class first thing this morning. Oh, wait.
Jace: I would skip class and go back to sleep, but my professor is kind of a babe.
Me: Kind of?
Jace: I just checked my reference photo, and yes, I can confirm that Professor Mathers is a babe.
Me: Ha ha, the old switcharoo. Speaking of photos that should or should not be seen, have you deleted our Tinder conversation from your end yet?
Jace: I haven’t gotten around to it. I have an extremely busy schedule this semester.
Jace: For example, I’m taking you out on Friday.
Me: You are not. Unless you mean a Friday in May.
Jace: You know that’s not what I mean. But if you want to skip the date and go straight back to my place, that’s also an excellent idea.
That idea sounded dangerously tempting, even though it was seven in the morning. I ate another bite of my breakfast toast and decided to push a little more.
Me: I like dancing. That’s a fun date to me. Can you dance?
Jace: I prefer the horizontal dance.
Jace: (sex)
Me: Thanks for mansplaining it to me. But I think a proper man should be able to dance his way into a woman’s heart.
Jace: I marched in formation when I was in the Army. Does that count?
Me: It does not. I guess you’re not the man for me. But if you want to learn, you can take ART 317.
Me: (Dance and Expression)
