Say the word and I’ll come running.
My gaze drifts back to his photo and I curse him under my breath as I feel the warmth rush through my lower belly. Blake Taylor knows exactly how to get me riled up, that’s for sure. I bet he wants me to touch myself to his image, imagine him here with me until I can’t help but call him to join me.
Two can play that game, though. If he gets off on the thought of me all hot and bothered, I’ll kill his boner.
Alexis sent a limited-viewing photo
I hope you like pink, sparkly face masks, Taylor.
Blake took a screenshot.
Thanks for the new lock screen, Sunshine. You look adorable<3
WAIT NO
DON’T
DELETE THAT
Come over and make me.
You’d like that, wouldn’t you?
You have no idea.
You’re killing me here, Alexis.
Then perish ;)
Goodnight, Blakey-bear
Sweet dreams, Sunshine.
I throw my phone on the textbook at the foot of the bed before screaming into my pillow. This was supposed to be easy. A simple ruse to get me some money and make him captain. All this teasing, the way he turns me on…none of it is part of the deal.
He’s my brother’s friend, a great hockey player. He should be staying as far away from me as possible, with a cheerleader or two hanging off those muscled biceps. What’s he doing talking to me this way, like I’m worth his time?
Snatching my phone from where it lays on the textbook I burrow into the covers, staring at his last text. Three little words,completely innocent and void of substantial weight, yet they light my body aflame in a cozy warmth.
Blake isn’t mine. I know that. But as I slip away into sleep, I still imagine him next to me, those strong arms protecting me against the night. And I feel less alone.

Stupid Blake,leaving me all hot and bothered like that. Of course the fucker dominated my sleep, causing me to wake up hornier than I’ve ever been. Does it help that I did put that photo of him as my lock screen?Absolutely fucking not.
I bet he slept like a baby, the full eight hours and then some.
You know what? Fuck it. It’s not like he’s gonna find out, and maybe it’ll help me keep myself in check. It’s sure to help with my pain, relaxing the muscles that are always tense, so really it’s a win-win. I let my fingers stray down to my sensitive spot, getting myself worked up enough to shed nearly all my clothes in search of a deeper pleasure, striking up a rhythm that might?—
The door swings open with abang.
A shriek leaves my lips and I hike the blanket over my bare chest. Blake’s eyes widen as he stops in his tracks, a grin spreading across his face. “Enjoying yourself, Sunshine?”
“What are you doing here?” I say, and it almost comes out as a yell.
He leans against the doorway, his gaze slowly traveling down the outline of my body. “Alissa told me to wake you and that the door was open. I was going to see if you wanted to hang outbefore our date, but now I’m simply enjoying the view. Please, don’t let me stop you.”
