For you - 4. Chapter 4

I checked the battery level of the power bank and threw it in my backpack between some clothes, I put in there earlier this afternoon. Then, I went to the bathroom to grab my body wash for the trip.

When I returned to my bedroom, my phone vibrated. I checked and noticed that Rhys had sent me a picture. The pixelated photo was still loading, but after a few seconds, I saw skin. A lot of skin. In fact, he wasn’t wearing a single piece of clothing. “A little something to make sure, not just the weather is on fire. Just a thirst trap, but consider it a preview for more to come on the trip 😏“, the caption said. He was right: He was indeed naked, but the hot was a full side profile, so I couldn’t see much more than the hair on his leg, a cheek, and the birthmark on his side halfway under his arm as well as his trimmed armpit hair.

Nowadays, it could be considered brave to sport armpit hair if you don’t want to be called a “hippie”. Speaking of courage, even though we had seen huge parts of each other's bodies—and most likely even more—I felt the pressure to send him back an equal treat. So, I quickly thought about which side of me looked less bad compared to Rhys’s quite presentable body.

I wasn’t quite sure, on which level of relationship we were, but this seemed to be somewhat serious. This was probably how it was supposed to go, but how would I know? So, I guess, I just trust Rhys that he knows what he’s doing.

Finally, I decided to also send him a pic after showering, but instead of his pose, a lay on the bed butt naked with only a towel crossing my body from my left thigh to my right shoulder just like a toga but with less skin being draped.
