Strange hang-up.

Finn

Not when I’m thinking about you bending me over it instead.

My body immediately responds, bypassing the shock and going straight to my blood pumping hotter, and I can’t help but grin. His confidence is one of the things I find I want to exploit the most, and I know I’ll have fun doing that.

Foxx

That so?

Finn

Yeah. Probably not the most professional thing to say, but I’m not really a professional kind of guy.

Foxx

I’ve noticed.

Finn

So, is it sturdy?

Foxx

What do you think?

A pause.

Finn

I think we should rearrange our date to start at your office tomorrow. You might’ve given me a thing for hot office guys.

I stare at the message for a second longer than necessary, waiting for the moment he asks where I work. My pulse rushes in my ears. But that message doesn’t come.

Foxx

That’s definitely one way to get me distracted at work.

Finn

That’s not a no.

Foxx

It’s not a yes, either.

As much as I’m considering it. No, that would be a very bad idea…

Finn

You’re playing hard to get. I respect it.

With a smirk, I shift in my chair, heat simmering low in my stomach. I like the fact he tests the boundaries between us. It’s going to make tomorrow night even more fun.

Foxx

I doubt respect is what you’re feeling right now.
