Me:That depends. What exactly do you think this mouth can do?
A beat. Then:
Dog:Now you’re speaking my language.
Another message follows, seconds later.
Dog:I’d bet it’d look good wrapped around my fingers first.
My breath catches.
Ishouldback off.
Imeantto just bait him. Set a hook.
But something about the brazenness—the raw, reckless honesty of it—makes heat bloom low in my stomach.
My thumbs move before I can think.
Me:You think you could handle it?
Dog:I can handle you flat on your back, legs over my shoulders, begging.
Jesus.
I swallow hard, the burn of it hot and low, and squeeze my thighs together without thinking.
This is supposed to be a game.
But I’m slipping, fast, and it feels too good to stop.
Me:I don’t beg.
Dog:You will.
I bite my lip.
Stare at the phone.
Then type slowly, deliberately.
Me:You’re all talk.
Dog:Say the word, sweetheart. I’ll show up. I’ll ruin you so good you won’t remember that bastard’s name.
I exhale, shaky now, my fingers brushing over the waistband of my leggings as if on autopilot.
Me:Tell me how.
His answer comes without hesitation.
Dog:First, I’d make you take off your shirt real slow. Let me see what I’m working with.
Dog:Then I’d push you down and put my mouth everywhere you’re trying to hide.
Dog:And when you’re shaking and soaked through, I’d flip you over and fuck you like I don’t need to breathe.
I drop my phone on the blanket and press my hand between my thighs, eyes fluttering shut.
