That line—I’ll be thinking of you tonight—and the way he looked at me as he’d said it. It carried the promise of more kisses.

And sex.

Holy cannoli, that kiss.

I touched my lips with a shaky hand. His kiss had rocked me to my core. The boy next door was now the man I wanted to kiss me again. To fuck me. He’d put every university guy I’d met to shame with one kiss.

And now I wanted to have all of him.

I turned on a bedside lamp and paced the room. My clutch buzzed with a text.

Tom: Hell of a kiss, Rosie.

Me: That was unexpected.

My heart hammered against my ribs. Now was the time for risks. Time to see if a friend wanted to be more than that.

Me: But I liked it

Me: A lot.

Dots appeared and stopped and reappeared several times on the screen.

Tom: Trying to concentrate on driving.

Me: You’re not driving and texting are you?

Tom: Course not.

Tom: I’m parked at your gate trying to ‘calm down’

Me: ‘Calm down’??

Tom: Let’s say things are a bit hard at the mo. Makes driving very difficult.

Tom: Turns out a lovely woman I took to the awards dinner was sexy AF and she kissed me and now I can’t stop thinking about her.

Oh. My. God. He’s talking about his erection. And he liked the kiss.

Wait, are we sexting now?I wanted to, yes dammit, keep him sexting.

Me: Sexy, huh?

Tom: oh yeah, in that dress. You were the most beautiful woman in the room tonight.

Me: pfft. Heaps of women looked great tonight.

Tom: maybe. I was concentrating on my speech notes so I didn’t stare at someone’s cleavage in my line of sight while I was trying to read my speech

Holy shit.

Me: Is this helping you to drive home?

Tom: Not particularly. But it’s fun *winky face emoji*

Tom: Forgot to say before I really liked our kiss too.

Me: If only we hadn’t been interrupted
