“No, but I want to,” Chloe replies. “Can you take a photo of it tonight?”

My phone immediately rings. The name Henley lights up the screen.

“Dear lord, he’s calling,” Chloe stammers.

I answer as I try to sound cool. “Hello, Henley.”

“Good afternoon, Miss Drinkwater,” his deep sexy voice replies.

Butterflies swirl in my stomach. Just the sound of his voice does things to me.

I look up to the girls as they hang on my every word, and I get up and walk outside for some privacy.

“Hi.” I smile goofily.

“Hi.” I can tell he’s smiling too.

“Why are you calling me?”

“To get my way.”

I giggle. “Henley . . . we cannot do that.” I lower my voice and look around to see if anyone can hear me.

“Yes, we can.”

I lower my voice to a whisper. “You are too big for me.”

“Nonsense. It’s a perfect fit.”

I feel myself blush. “We need more . . . practice.”

“You actually think I’m going to hurt you?”

“I just . . .” I hesitate.

“You just what?”

“We’re just new at this. Your body is a lot extra . . . I need you to be patient with me.”

He stays silent, and I know he’s considering my request. “I would never hurt you, Juliet.”

“I know.” I smile shyly. “I just want to get to know you better first in a more familiar environment.”

He exhales but stays silent.

“So you’ll jump the fence for me?” I ask hopefully.

“Only for you.”

“I can’t wait,” I gush. “What time?”

“Ten minutes?”

I giggle. “About eight?”

“Okay . . .”

He hangs on the line, and I smile goofily.
