I tap a finger along my jawline. “Or we could send each other naughty texts all morning and make each other super horny.”

“And wait to act on it?” Collins shakes his head. “No. That sounds horrible.”

I giggle. “C’mon. Let’s go.”

We exit the apartment, take the elevator to the parking garage, and enter Collins’s SUV. During our ride to Hoffman Headquarters, I sing obnoxiously to every Grace and Jace song that plays on the shuffle list and enjoy every second of it.

“Are you getting excited for the concert coming up?”

But I just bounce in my seat, hitting some pretty off-key notes as my answer.

Collins keeps the SUV idling in front of the Hoffman Headquarters main entrance, claiming that he’s doing my feet a favor since I wore stupid shoes—according to him. And these are my most sensible.

Sheesh.

“I need you to message or call me as soon as you are ready to come back. I have a few things I need to do.”

“Isn’t it amazing what you can accomplish in a day when you choose to start your day wearing pants?”

Collins grins and places a hand over the crotch of my fitted pencil skirt. “I accomplished a lot more without them.”

“True story.”

He gets out of the car and makes it over to my side while I struggle to get out of my seat, since the fabric is so snug. It earns me a warning look.

“Be good today.”

I make a face. “I’m always good.”

With intense eyes, Collins watches me walk into the building and make my way through security.

While in the elevator to Plus None, I shoot out a text to Collins just for fun.

Penny: At least my skirt is tight enough to keep my thighs from spreading and dripping out all your cum throughout the day

And he bites—immediately.

Collins: Isn’t that what panties are for?

This is fun.

Penny: Umm…in theory

Collins: Or in practicality

Penny: Then I’m not practical because I’m not wearing any.

Penny: Oops!

Collins: Dammit, Penny. I’m coming inside.

Penny: I love it when you come inside.

I exit the elevator and walk along the corridor toward the Plus None office, unable to hide the grin on my face.

Well, that was way too much fun.

Glancing at my phone, I see Collins’s text pop up.
