What are you wearing?
I glance down at my outfit—yoga pants and an oversized jumper. Not exactly sexy.
Stella
Yoga pants and a jumper. Very unsexy.
Jake
Everything you wear is sexy. But I’d rather you were wearing nothing at all.
“You’re sexting him back, aren’t you?” Megan accuses.
“Maybe.”
“Good! It’s about time you let loose a little.”
Jake
I want to strip those clothes off you. Piece by piece. Kiss every inch of skin I uncover.
My breath catches, heat pooling low.
Stella
Jake, you’re killing me.
Jake
Good. I want you desperate. Thinking about my hands on you, my mouth on you. My cock in you.
“Okay, seriously,” Emily says, “put the phone down and make a decision about the job. You can sext your hot mechanic later.”
She’s right. I need to focus.
“What if things go wrong with Jake and it affects work?”
“What if they go right?” Megan counters. “What if you get the career you wantandthe man you want in the same place?”
“That seems too good to be true.”
“Or maybe you deserve something good for once,” Emily says softly. “Stella, you’ve been playing it safe your whole life. Maybe it’s time to take a risk.”
My phone buzzes again.
Jake
Touching myself right now. Wishing it was your hand, not mine.
Fuck. My entire body lights up.
Stella
The girls will notice if I disappear to my room.
Jake
Then stay there… and imagine it’s my fingers sliding inside you.
