I’m home starting on a Food Network marathon when the phone rings suddenly. Facetime. Knox.

“Hey, you.”

With that familiar greeting, this morning’s anguish suddenly seems like a distant memory. Maybe everything is going to be okay.

“How are you?” I ask, muting the TV and cozying up under a blanket.

“Much better after that good-morning selfie I woke up to.” He flashes me a wink. “Though I’ve got to admit, this regime is kicking my ass. I don’t know if I’d be able to show you my appreciation thoroughly if you were down here.”

“Maybe we should put that theory to the test.” I bat my eyelashes. “It’s only, what, an hour-long flight?”

He groans. “Don’t tease me like that, slugger. I’d kill to wake up to a live-action view of that pic.”

“We could make that happen.” I tilt my head, letting my hair fall over the end of the couch as I rest my head on it.

“No pressure,” he says. “But I’d definitely not object.”

There’s a long silence, as we both digest what we’re maybe talking about. I open and close my mouth a couple of times, trying to frame the best way to ask this question, when suddenly he sighs hard into the phone.

“Look, Shelby, I don’t want to see anyone else right now.”

I blink a few times, then sit up. “What brought this up, were you getting followed by some scantily clad superfans again?” I try to joke. It falls flat.

“I’ve just been thinking about it a lot, and . . . I don’t know what we’re doing, Shelbs, but I know that I don’t want it to end.”

I swallow hard around a sudden lump in my throat. “Neither do I.”

“And I keep thinking about the guys you’ll be running into while I’m gone, and—”

“I don’t want any of those guys,” I interrupt. “I don’t want a stupid doctor or some football player or whoever. I want you.”

“And I want you,” he answers without missing a beat. Who knew? Cooper Knox has a sentimental side. Of course, he follows this up with, “I want you in all kinds of ways, Shelby.”

I stifle a grin and slide further under the blanket I’ve pulled over myself. “Oh really? What kinds of ways, exactly? I’ll need you to be very explicit.”

I can practically hear his smirk on the other end. “Well I’d start by relieving you of that tank top. And toying with those hot, perky little nipples of yours, the girls as you call them, pinching them between my fingers while I lick my way down your neck.”

“Mmm, and I’m running my hands down your back toward the waistband of your pesky jeans, always in the way of what I want.” My cheeks burn bright red, but it’s so hot hearing him tell me what he wants to do to me. He keeps going in detail, as my hand dips between my own legs, and before I know it, we’re both lost in our shared fantasy.

By the time we finally hang up, it’s past midnight.
