Fireside Whispers

The living room was dimly lit by the orange glow of the fire crackling in the hearth. James sat back on the plush couch, the fabric soft against his bare back, as he opened the text from Luna. A picture flashed on his phone, a teasing shot of her bare legs crossed, with the caption: "Wish you were here." He smiled, feeling his body respond immediately.

Luna had suggested they explore the idea of sexting tonight, even though they were together, letting words and images build a different kind of tension. His reply was a picture of his own lean torso, relaxed yet inviting, with a simple "Show me more." She giggled softly, playing along, slipping off her loose shirt and sending another picture of her skin, her hand resting enticingly on her thigh.
