Uncertainty burned and brimmed, but I finally gave, snagged it, and thumbed across the screen. My stomach quivered and tipped as my eyes traced the words.
Heartbreaker
How am I supposed to focus with the taste of you on my tongue and the feel of you on my hands?
My breaths went shallow.
I didn’t have time to respond before another message came through.
Heartbreaker
What is it you think you’re doing to me, Little Wallflower? Making me want to break every rule?
With my fingers poised over the screen, I wavered, chewing at the inside of my cheek like it would give me clarity. Finally, I let them fly.
Me
You were the one coercing me into breaking all the rules. Do you remember the first time you convinced me to climb up that tree into your room?
God, why was I grinning when I typed it? So reckless as I gave myself over to the memories.
But in the darkness, it felt safe. As if I could lift the lid off the secrets we once shared.
Heartbreaker
Didn’t take a whole lot to have you crawling through my window.
A tender smile pulled to my face.
Me
I only broke those rules because I wanted to be with you.
Heartbreaker
And here we are, breaking them again.
I warred, unsure of what I should give him. But I felt emboldened right then. Held in the safety of the night.
Me
I wanted to break every rule with you, Cash Cunningham.
It took forever before a response finally came through.
Heartbreaker
The ways I would break them with you now.
I could feel the innuendo woven in his words.
Blood sloshed through my veins, and my breaths turned shallow. I looked around the room like I was going to get caught breaking a rule right then.
Me
I thought you told me it can’t happen again?
Heartbreaker
