The slow warmth that had been spreading in the pit of my stomach was back again, and now it was hotter than ever. Tyler. Holy shit,Tyler.
Why the hell are you getting yourself off all alone when you could be—
The voice in my head didn’t need to say another word. I grabbed my phone, scrolled through my contacts, and prayed that my ex-boyfriend’s number had somehow made the transfer from upgrade to upgrade. And then all of a sudden there it was. No last name, no full first name. Just two tiny letters… TY.
It took me all of two seconds to press the call button.

JENNA
“Heyyy!”
My heart pounded as I delivered my usual cheerful greeting. Tyler’s initial silence told me he didn’t recognize the voice, or the number.
“Ummm… hi?”
“Tyler, it’s me. Jenna.”
It was hard not to sound awkward. Four years was a hell of a long time! Besides, it wasn’t like I was calling to invite him to coffee. When you dialed an ex this late in the evening, you pretty much only wanted one thing.
“Ohwow,” I heard him say. “Hey Jenna! What’s going—”
“Are you single?”
I decided to rip the Band-Aid right off. Small talk would only lessen my resolve.
“Uhh, yeah. I definitely am.”
Besides, I was horny ashell.
“Good,” I said as confidently as I could. “Because I’m thinking we should get together soon, and by soon I mean tonight. And by get together I mean—”
“I know what you mean,” he chuckled. “But really?”
“Yeah, really.”
“Wow.”
I could feel my pulse quicken even more, causing my entire body to throb with want. Holy shit this was exciting! Why hadn’t I thought of this before?
“Wow what?” I pressed. “Was that a good wow or a shocked wow or a great wow, or—”
“All three, actually.”
God, even his voice was sexy! I could still picture those piercing blue eyes. The errant lock of hair that always flopped down over one side of his forehead, that I always affectionately brushed away.
Why the hell did I break up with him again?
“Tyler look, I’m a woman inneed,” I told him bluntly. “If you’re a man in need — and I’m pretty sure you men always are — just say the word and I’ll grab my car keys.”
There was silence at the other end of the phone. It made me uneasy.
“Umm…”
“What?” I demanded. “Are you really not into—”
“No, no!” he jumped in. “I’mtotallyinto it!”
