By the time I reached my bed I was already unbuttoning
my jeans. When I lay back I cradled the phone against my
shoulder to slide the denim over my hips. My panties came
down, too, and I kicked them off. The comforter was
chily under my skin at first, but warmed quickly. I roled,
reaching for my nightstand drawer, and stopped with my
hand on the knob.
'Are you naked? Tel me you're naked.'
I found the smal bottle of lube and my bulet vibrator, not
the one that could land aircraft. I sat on the edge of the
bed to pul them from the drawer, and I stared down at the
evidence of what I meant to do in my palm before I
evidence of what I meant to do in my palm before I
answered. 'I'm not naked.'
'Liar.' Austin's low laugh perked my nipples and parted
my legs.
'I have a shirt on.'
'I'm hard, Paige. And I'm naked.'
I closed my eyes to see him better. 'What makes you think
I care?'
This stumped him for a second. In the past I'd been al
about the phone sex. Sometimes we'd fucked more often
on the phone than with our bodies. Before he could
answer, I said, 'Are you jerking your cock, Austin?'
'Y-yeah.'
'Wel. I want you to stop.'
'Aw, Paige—'
'You can't just cal me up and expect me to run right over
and screw you, Austin. And you can't expect me to fuck
you over the phone, either,' I said, though I was thinking
about doing just that. 'We're not together anymore.
Remember?'
'That never mattered before.' He sounded sulen, and I
pictured his frown.
I loved it.
'It matters now.' He had to hear my voice dip low and
breathy, and he knew me wel enough to know what that
meant. I just had to wait and see if he'd figure it out.
'Fine. I'm sitting here with my dick ready to go and I'm not
touching it. Is that what you want to hear?'
I lay back again and twisted the end of the vibe to get it
buzzing. Then I brought it to the phone and let him hear it.
I took it away after a second.
'Shit. Is that your vibrator?'
'It is.'
'Let me come over, baby. I can make you feel better than
a vibrator.'
'I'm hanging up on you now. And then I'm going to use this
