My fingers hover over the screen.

Cassie:I really have to sleep.

Logan:You didn’t seem to mind.

Heat creeps up my neck.

Cassie:Goodnight, Logan.

Logan:Night, Cass.

I set my phone down and stare at the ceiling, wide awake.

Then my phone lights up again.

Logan:Wait. One more thing.

My heart races.

Cassie:What?

Logan:Just wanted to remind you how good I looked earlier.

I bite my lip, curiosity piquing. Then the photo comes through.

It’s a photo of him that he clearly took after his game today. Abs glistening under the light, his smirk playful yet challenging.

Logan:Just a little reminder of what you’re missing.

A rush of heat floods through me.

Cassie:You think that’s going to work on me?

Logan:Thought it was worth a shot.

Cassie:You are so full of yourself.

Logan:I’d rather be full of something else…or wait…I think you’d rather be full of me.

I swallow, and take a moment, heart pounding, before replying.

Cassie:Fine. Let me show you what you’re missing too.

I snap a quick photo, biting my lip. The playful side of me takes over, and I send him a shot of my bare shoulders up to my mouth and nose, with no eyes. Just enough to tease.

Logan:Damn. You’re killing me.

Cassie:Goodnight, Logan.

Logan:Night, Cass.

I can’t help but smile, feeling the buzz of excitement that comes with our banter. I set my phone down, thoughts racing, and when I wake up the next morning?

My blue yoga pants are hanging on my doorknob.
