the vicar still deep in conversation with Jamie and Libby about their preferred wording for the ceremony.
Sabrina hesitated as she gazed at Connor’s message again. So he was actually serious about finishing what they’d started. She tapped out an answer, her fingers shaking as if she were preparing to bungee jump into a ravine.
Can u please show some respect? I happen to be busy at the church rehearsal you refused to go to. Fulfilling my duties as the MOH, unlike a best man I could mention. Who is anything but!
There, that ought to do show him that she wasn’t a pushover. And that she hadn’t been climbing the walls waiting for him to contact her for two solid days ever since they’d gone their separate ways after the rehearsal dinner, when he’d informed her that he wouldn’t be attending the church rehearsal, and she, in a moment of insanity, had agreed to consider his offer of hot sex for one night only. Her foot tapped in nervous anticipation as she awaited a reply.
The speech bubble on the other side of the screen appeared two seconds later.
Safe WORD. Not WORDS. That’s way too many. Your gorgeous ass would be red hot by the time you got all that out.
A staggered laugh popped out—and proceeded to echo round the church’s stone walls like a mission bell. She peeked down the aisle to find Libby and Jamie and the vicar, not to mention both groomsmen and the three bridesmaids, all staring her way.
She waved, blushing furiously, but was surprised to discover she didn’t feel as guilty as she probably should. ‘I definitely think the vows work better without obey,’ she shouted down the aisle. ‘Stop being such a Neanderthal, Jamie. It doesn’t suit you.’
The groomsmen laughed—and she breathed out—turning her attention back to the cheeky bugger who was harassing her by instant messaging.
She clicked on the iPhone’s keypad function to respond. Clearly, polite and superior wasn’t going to work with Connor. Luckily she knew how to play dirty. When she had to.
Bugger. Off. Are those enough WORDS for you?
She pressed Send, exhilarated by her provocative response. She didn’t usually swear and text. But when you were dealing with a guy like Connor who had no respect for social niceties…
Then his reply appeared.
Still one word 2 many. Who the hell taught u 2 count? & Bugger can B misinterpreted. BTW, any objections to anal play I should know about?
Anal play? Her breathing seized to a halt. But before she had time to reply, another dialogue box showed on his side of the screen.
Consider yourself PUNKED, sweetheart. So how hot r your cheeks right now? On a scale of 1 to 10?
Punked? Did that mean he’d been joking about the ‘anal play’?
‘You complete sod,’ she murmured, relief reinflating her lungs before she passed out. She typed furiously, somehow managing to spell and reoxygenate her brain all at the same time.
Very funny. Unfortunately, I’m not laughing, because I’ve gone into cardiac arrest.
His response took less than ten seconds to appear.
All the way to 11, huh? OK, we’ll shelve anal for this booty call.
She sucked in a breath, not entirely sure if he was joking again. Then let it out. No need to debate Connor’s sense of humour—or his affinity for anal play. There wasn’t going to be an opportunity for any more booty calls after the night of the wedding because he was flying back to New York the next day. She’d checked Connor’s flight schedule with Jamie, just to be sure.
If she was going to risk having a wild, inappropriate fling with Connor McCoy, she wanted to make sure there was no chance of her getting in too deep.
Thnx, that’s big of u, but I haven’t made a decision about whether I want to go ahead with THIS booty call yet.
Time to slow him down a little. She needed to make an informed, sensible decision and sexting wasn’t helping. Because Connor’s playful side only made him more irresistible.
Give me a break. U made your decision when
