Maddie

Are you really working or are you “working?”

Liam

I don’t know what you mean by “working,” but yes I am. Currently on a stakeout an hour away at an apartment complex, waiting to see if this bastard comes out soon since I can’t confirm which one he’s staying in. Though, I’m three seconds away from pulling the fire alarm so I can find him sooner.

Maddie

I don’t think you’re allowed to do that…

Liam

Well, I don’t follow the rules

Maddie

Oh hey, there’s Mr. Arrogant again.

Liam

He never left, baby.

Butterflies invade my stomach at his term of endearment. Liam has the sexiest voice I’ve ever heard, and it’s even hotter when he says things like that. The thought has me squeezing my legs together.

Maddie

Okay, go get the bad guy. I’m gonna do naked yoga and watch my shows.

Liam

Not laughing.

Maddie

But I’m hilarious.

Liam

Just stay home, okay? And keep your clothes on.

Maddie

No can do, bossy pants. I’m about to get into the shower. Taking off my clothes as I type…

I smile as I hit enter, knowing he’s groaning at my message.

Liam

Try not to think about me too much. Would hate for you to slip and hurt yourself.

Maddie

Don’t flatter yourself. Nicholas Galitzine gets all my shower fantasies.

Liam

Who?
