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.
