I chuckled. Was he pivoting because I wasn’t responding to his sexting?
Fuck it. I stood up, quickly shucked my yoga pants so I was just wearing one of his shirts that hit me just below mid-thigh. Propping my phone up on the bookcase so it was at the perfect angle to not show too much skin, I set the timer to take a selfie. Then I sent it.
Gabe: Fucking warn a guy. Damn.
Gabe: That’s my shirt, isn’t it?
Gabe: You can keep it.
Gabe: Your place or mine tonight?
Dani: I didn’t agree to a sleepover.
Gabe: Umm. Okay.
I grinned. Messing with him was too much fun.
Dani: Your place. Wouldn’t want Pucks to be by himself all night.
Gabe: You’re a terrible tease. For that, I’m going to bring you to the brink more times than you can count before I let you come.
I sucked in a breath. Fucking hell. For such a nice guy, his dirtier side came out at all the right times. My body shuddered in anticipation.
Dani: Aren’t you supposed to be a nice guy?
Gabe: I’ll be very nice. I’ll text you when I’m on my way over.
Gabe: I cannot wait to taste every inch of your body. I’ll get some dessert to go. You know how much I enjoy my sweets, and chocolate cream on your skin sounds delectable.
I squirmed in my seat, my body on fire.
Dani: Are you guys almost done with dinner?
Gabe: We just got our food.
Dani: Eat fast so you can come eat me.
I couldn’t believe I’d actually said that to him. But now I wanted him to hurry up; my night of relaxing and vegging out sounded boring.
Gabe: And now I’m rock hard and can’t do anything about it. Don’t touch yourself until I get there. It’s only fair.
Dani: You weren’t fair when you started this conversation.
Gabe: If you come before I get there, I’m only going to snuggle you tonight.
Dani: That sounds terrible. Maybe you should get dinner and dessert to go so I don’t have to wait too long.

Twenty minutes later, he showed up with dessert.
“I might’ve inhaled my food just so I could get over here and inhale you.” His eyes gleamed with heat that absolutely matched mine.
“I thought I was going to meet you at your place?”
“I couldn’t wait. So how about we start here and end up there? Don’t want Pucks to get too lonely.”
And then I was in his arms and his lips were on mine.
