Chapter 5

Casey

You’re trying to torture me aren’t you?

Eli’s texts were getting more and more dramatic as the night went on. He must have had some kind of supernatural dating power because before I’d gotten halfway home he’d started texting. They’d started off almost innocent, but when I’d refused to play along, he’d gotten more insane. By the time I’d stretched out in bed, he’d jumped right to the point.

Just tell me you two talked about more than boring business stuff.

No, because that would have only given the insane man more fuel to keep the crazy going.

We talked about taxes. Riveting discussion actually.

He sent me a picture of a dog yawning.

I give you two the most perfect…no you’re just messing with me. Why didn’t you go inside with him? Those beds on the third floor are comfy.

I couldn’t help but glance over at the window as I got more comfortable under the covers. There was no way he could see in the windows. I’d been fantasizing about what I’d do when I got home, but Eli’s texts had killed my mood. I was at the point where all I wanted was to go to bed.

Are you stalking me? I’ll tell Roman on you.

I laughed at his response.

Oh yes tell him!! Then I’ll get another spanking!

That was not a discussion I wanted to start with him. Not when I didn’t know where it would lead.

Noyou’ll get that cage again if he thinks you’ve been mean to me.

Their constant oversharing was starting to come in handy. It only took him a few seconds to text back.

You’re evil. I love it.

He was crazy.

You’re insane. Stop stalking me.

When his message popped up, I could almost picture his wicked grin.

It’s not stalking when I’m just monitoring the security cameras. You guys are hot together!

Lord.

Stop stalking me!

I wasn’t deluded enough to think that would work, but at least I’d stood up for myself.

Only if you tell me you guys talked!

It was like talking to a child who was fixated on one topic.

If you watched us make out then you know we talked!

His response made me want to scream.

So you did make out? Roman caught me and didn’t let me watch the whole thing.

He was evil—and insane.
