I can’t promise that…or thoughts.
With each lingerie change, I took a handful of mirror-length selfies from the front and back. I attach the best ones to our message and hit send.
My heart races while I wait for him to respond. Two, three, five minutes go by without a word.
Shit. I probably look stupid.
I can’t wait any longer.

You better not be jerking off to my pics.
Landen
I’m definitely sporting a boner. Thanks for that. Painful as fuck in these jeans while I’m on a horse, btw. Sydney’s gonna end up pregnant by the end of my shift.
I roll my eyes. And cringe at the image.
Landen and I are good friends, so I felt comfortable enough showing him, but he’s not the one I want to impress.
Magnolia
Which one do you think Thor would like the best?
I giggle at our fake nickname for Tripp. Ever since I told Landen about the crush, I made up a name to use when we text. The last thing I need is Tripp seeing them and feeling like a fool. Since I wanted the name to start with the same letter as Tripp’s, I picked the hottest character played by the hottest man in Hollywood—Chris Hemsworth.
Landen teases me for it, but I feel better knowing I can talk about him in secret.
Landen
Uh…literally all of them. There’s not a straight man in the world who wouldn’t give up one of his senses for a shot to be with you.
Guilt crashes into me, worried that maybe Landen’s crush on me isn’t as over as he says it is. He’s always trying to find ways to get Tripp and me together or to make him jealous, so if he does, he’s not made it obvious to me.
Magnolia
I can only buy one. So tell me which is your favorite?
Landen
The third one. It’s sexy without revealing everything. Lets me use my imagination while still being teased.
I smile because that’s mine too.
Magnolia
Thanks. I appreciate your input. Now delete these photos!
Landen
Why the fuck would I do that? That wasn’t a condition for helping you.
