“That’s what he said?” Ross winces. “Ooof, that’s brutal. It’s like your crazy uncle accidentally received the text, and instead of making you feel bad, he tried to help a girl out.”
I study the text, confused. “I really expected him to say more.”
“Maybe you scared him away with the fingering.”
I give Ross a death stare. “I did not scare him away. Maybe he just needs a touch more pushing.” I crack my fingers and say, “Watch a master at work.”

“It’s not my fault,”Posey says while slipping his briefs on under his towel. “I told you I didn’t want to be a part of this. I’ve expended all my helpfulness to Hornsby. That took it out of me.”
“That was months ago. Don’t you recharge?”
“I’m not a fucking battery.”
My phone beeps, and before I can even consider looking at the text, Posey swipes it out of my hand.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
“Stealing this nightmare from you so you don’t embarrass yourself even more.” He opens the text and then grips the side of his locker while coughing.
“What? What did she say?”
“Holy shit.” He looks up at me and points the screen at me to read.
Ollie:It would have been more pleasurable if you were here to lick my arousal off my fingers. I just had to do it for you.
Fuck . . .
“Dude . . .” Posey is speechless, and that’s saying something. “What the hell did you get yourself into?”
“I fucking told you. She’s torturing me.”
“You need a good response.”
“I fucking know.” I try to take the phone back, but Posey keeps it.
“I’ll type it out, you nimrod. We don’t need any mistakes this time.”
“What are you going to say?”
“Uh, what we’re both thinking.” Going to the emoji, he double-taps on the eggplant emoji, and before I can stop him, he sends it.
“Dude!” I snag the phone away. “Two eggplant emoji? She’s trying to dirty talk, and you give her two eggplant emoji?”
“That is dirty talking. She got two penises to rise at the same time.”
I give him a stern look. “Don’t fucking bone out over my girl.”
“Ha.” He points at me. “You said my girl.”
“Urggh, I fucking hate you right now.”
