TheBigO: By puppies?

RacingQueen: It’s kind of romantic, don’t you think?

I blink down at my phone. What part, exactly, is she talking about?

In what universe?

TheBigO: It doesn’t sound like they had a choice.

RacingQueen: How far did you make it?

TheBigO: Thrusting.

I chuckle as I pull out my blackened snack.

They aren’t quite burned all the way, I can still find a few bits that are edible.

RacingQueen: That’s like the whole book.

Her little eyeroll emoji screams sarcasm.

I wonder if she’s like that in person? I’m kinda starting to get a kick out of her.

TheBigO: Ah, so is that your favorite part? You secretly want a fated mate so you can have babies?

Wow, IknowI went too far with that one.

Serves me right that I scorch the fuck out of my tongue on that bit of gooey cheese.

Washing it down with the last of my lukewarm Coors, I toss out the wasted remaining food and empty can.

RacingQueen: Takes out the guesswork. Skips past the dating and awkward conversations and goes straight into just being a couple. A family.

Damn.

Did I get a little insight into her private dreams?

I guess I can understand that part.

It’s a big reason I have no interest in trying to meet someone. All those steps leading to a relationship are tedious, if they even work.

But I’m jaded.

Paige made everything tedious. I don’t even know what it would be like to have someone who I genuinely enjoyed.

I’ve known a few people who found happiness, so I know it isn’t all fiction.

One day, maybe.

In the meantime, I need to jump in the shower and beat down this hard-on or I’ll never get any sleep.

This mystery girl is certainly making my head spin. I expected smut, yet I’m learning more about her than I think she realizes.

Yea, RQ, I want to be in a relationship too. With someone who wantsme.

No one else.

The good guy gets shafted
