Mason:**Selfie in gray sweatpants**

Emery:Is this my punishment? Because I think I need to be bad more often.

Mason:Now who’s thecharmer?

Emery:Charmer? No. Just a horny girl drooling over the hot guy that keeps calling her.

Mason:I’m more than that, babe.

Emery:Oh yeah? What are you, then?

Mason:Yours.

Chapter seventeen

Emery

April

My phone buzzes onmy desk, and a smile pulls at my mouth.

Mason:How is your day going, baby doll?

I shake my head at the screen, fighting the giddy sensation in my stomach as I reread the term of endearment Mason has called me since our first date. I’ve never dated a man who called me anything other than my name, and I must admit… I like it.

Emery:Good.

It’s been too long since I’ve seen Mason in person, and I’m not talking about “on the phone”. We haven’t been with each other since the amazing, sex-filled weekend we shared in February. I figured after we spent Valentine’s Day together, Mason would have moved on. He’s constantly traveling for work and working crazy hours, but he’s proved me wrong. He calls and texts me almost daily. Some nights, we even video call.
