Laughing, I grab my drink when the barista calls my name. I’m a little relieved that nothing’s changed between Maddie andme. After giving in to what we both wanted and telling her how I felt, I knew there was no going back. But I wasn’t sure if it would change the dynamic of our relationship. Considering I’ve never had more than a weekend with a woman before, I had no idea what to expect once we finally crossed that line again.

But I’ve always seen Maddie as more than a friend, which is why I avoided her.

I jump into my truck and send her one last message before I get on the road. If all goes as planned, I’ll hunt down two fugitives today and have them back in jail by dinnertime.

Liam

I’m off to do a stakeout. Think you can behave and stay out of my room?

Maddie

But I masturbate in your bed every time you’re gone

Liam

Fuuuck. That is not funny, Maddie.

Maddie

Who’s laughing?

Liam

I’m gonna sit here with a hard-on and not be able to do anything about it. Thanks a lot.

Maddie

You’re very welcome. That’s payback for three years of lady blue balls.

Liam

I’d be careful, baby. I don’t think you know who you’re dealing with.

I nearly choke on my hot coffeewhen Maddie sends me a picture. She’s lying on her side in a teeny tank top and no bra. The angle of the photo shows off her glorious tits and the outline of her nipple rings. The very nipples I’ve dreamed about licking and sucking, especially since she got them fucking pierced. Her walking around in skimpy tops has only taunted me more—on purpose, I’m sure.

Liam

That’s not fucking fair.

Maddie

Who said we were playing fair? You’re the one who thought he could talk smack and get away with it.

Liam

You should punish me and send another pic. Preferably lower.

Maddie

Oh yeah? How low?

Liam

I think you’re creative enough to figure it out.

Maddie

I need to know exactly. So tell me what you wanna see.
