“Let me take you out again. Today? Brunch?”

I want her to say yes, even more than I want to kiss her right now, and that’s pretty fucking bad.

I want to spend the rest of the day kissing her, showing her just how badly I want her after getting on my knees for her.

It went too fucking quick, and I want more.

Her eyes search mine, a beat of silence hanging between us, and then a sexy, teasing grin flits to her lips, and she steps back, letting go of my shirt as she starts to step backward toward her house. “Mmmm, I dunno, Loverboy. The auction rules say I only have you for a single night, remember?”

The closer she gets to the house, the harder my heart races. There’s no way she’s walking through that door without me finding a way to talk to her again.

Her number.

Her socials.

Her fucking student email.

Something.

“Well, we both know how much fun breaking the rules is. C’mon, Trouble, give mesomething,” I murmur, giving her my best smile. “Break the rules with me.”

Pulling her plump lip between her teeth, she rolls her eyes, biting back a smirk. “Three eight six, fourteen eleven. How about if you can convince me to break the rules… I just might.” She turns on her heel toward the town house, disappearing through the front door without a backward glance.

I quickly pull my phone from my pocket and input the number she rattled off.

She wants me to chase her? Convince her to keep seeing me?

Well, there’s only one thing I’m better at than baseball.

Persuasion.

Loverboy: I can’t stop thinking about how sweet your pussy tasted.

Loverboy: I need to see you again before I lose my fucking mind. C’mon, Trouble, put me out of my misery.

Trouble: Sorry working on an essay right now. Realllllllllly busy. Maybe soon…????

Loverboy: You know what’s better than writing a philosophy essay?

Trouble: Not writing a philosophy essay…?

Loverboy: Nah, writing it with me there… ??

PICTURE ATTACHMENT

Oh. My. God.

It’s been two days of messages just like this, and admittedly, my resolve to play hard to get is lessening by the second.

Not that there was very much to begin with.
