I know.

My cheeks heat as I grin at the screen.

Nero

Speaking of dicks, mine is missing you. Come to Greymoor.

No joke: I’m wetinstantly.

But it’s also almost midnight, and I’ve got an early day tomorrow.

Me

It’s really late? I have to dance at like 9.

There’s no reply. Instantly, my mood sinks. I’m super close to typing “just kidding, I’m on my way” when I stop myself.

What the fuck, self.

A,he’sthe one who leftmeat Greymoor and then went completely radio silent for days. And B, dropping everything and rushing over because he demanded it is fucking pathetic.

I stare at our text exchange. Still no reply. Not even hovering dots.

I purse my lips.

Iwillnotchange my answer.

Finally, my phone dings again.

Nero

Well?

Me

Well what?

Nero

Have you decided if you’re still too mad at me to come all over my cock like a good girl?

My entire body tingles as my face flushes.

Me

Oh, was I not clear before? I’m going to bed. Some of us have to work tomorrow.

I grin as I keep typing.

Me

Besides, the two guys from the other night after you took off are coming over to double-team me.

The response is instant.

Nero

You already used your one joke.
