Eventually, he found his favorite ball and brought it to her to play catch.
“Okay, but just for a few minutes, then I’ve got to get ready for class,” she said, checking her watch.
Mia stood and moved out into the yard, tossing the ball several times while Skeeter chased it and barked excitedly.
Her phone pinged in the pocket of her hoodie.
She checked the messages, expecting it to be Luca or even Owen again because they’d both messaged her a few times since they left the day before but it was an unknown number.
Unknown: You do know that we all can see you on that fancy doorbell camera Casey has. Are your shorts short enough? I’m pretty sure I can see cheek.
Her thumbs flew across the screen as she replied.
Mia: Ew, creepy much, Waylon? Which one of the guys gave you my number?
Waylon: Ohhhhh. She guessed it on the first try. I wondered if you would play dumb or not.
Mia: Why are you like this? Were you dropped on your head as a baby? Didn’t get enough hugs? Or do you just love to annoy me?
Waylon: You know, Mia, If you were mine, I’d spank your ass for the way you talk to me. Make your skin a pretty pink with my hand. Maybe then you’d lose just a little bit of that sass. Or maybe it would be better to make you choke on my cock so you couldn’t cuss me out or talk back.
Her cheeks heated, and she let out a gasp.
What the hell prompted him to take their verbal sparring to that level? Since when did Waylon think about her like that?
Of all the flirting he did, he’d never been that bold with her before.
And why the hell did his words turn her on?
Mia: Oh. Really? That’s interesting. Because if any man of mine spoke to me like you do, I’d shove a ball gag in his mouth and bend him over *my* knee until he learned a little respect.
She didn’t know where the words or the confidence came from, but Mia hit send before she could change her mind or lose her courage.
Almost instantly she regretted that decision.
Ball gags and bending Waylon over her knee? She wouldnever.
“Fuck,” she muttered to herself.
Living with all four of the guys was going to drive her mad. She was beginning to think they were all messing with her. Tempting her to cross a line that could never be uncrossed.

Waylon
He hadno idea what came over him or what he was thinking when he sent Mia that text about spanking her earlier.
Actually, he knewexactlywhat he was thinking.
He needed to get laid.
And he needed to get over his stupid crush on the equivalent of his best friend’s sister.
Waylon thought about the entire brief exchange all day. Couldn’t get it out of his head.
A cold shower and jerking off to thoughts of Mia did nothing for him.
Pushing himself to the limit at practice wasn’t enough either.
