I need to tell my vagina that he is a hard no.

CADE: your turn

ME: okay

ME: favorite place to kiss someone?

The typing bubble appeared almost instantly this time.

CADE: neck

My breath caught immediately.

CADE: right below the ear specifically especially if YOU react to it

My entire body went hot so fast it is medically concerning. Because I can feel that text directed at me.

ME: wow you answered that fast. And ME, I feel special.

CADE: because I knew the answer

CADE: you specifically Pip.

Good grief.

I stared at the thread for a full minute trying to remember every reason Cade was a bad idea. Unfortunately all my brain wanted to do was picture Cade kissing my neck… as he beat off with my name in his mouth.

Massive catastrophic failure.

ME: okay I need another turn. what’s your biggest red flag

There, let him make that about the closet.

CADE: obsessive personality

CADE: hyper-focused

CADE: competitive

CADE: if I care about something I care intensely

Something about that answer made my stomach tighten differently.

ME: that sounds like you are a one man carnival

CADE: probably

CADE: but honesty matters right?

I lay here tangled in blankets and Cade’s hoodie—turned on and restless even though he just told me his red flags.

ME: okay honesty then

I take a deep breath and tell him one of mine.

ME: I think I’m addicted to attention when it feels safe

The typing bubble appeared instantly.
