I lay in bed feeling full and happy. I was about to roll over and go to sleep when my phone beeped.

Hey sweet pea. I grinned as I saw the message from Aiden.

Alice: Hey.

Aiden: I missed you today.

Alice: Oh wanted to get some spanking in?

Aiden: Hmm. I’d use any excuse to touch your ass.

Alice: How was work?

Aiden: Good. I thought about you all day though. Had a big boner. :)

Alice: Aw, how special! I typed, but inside I frowned. Was this all about sex to Aiden?

Aiden: What are you wearing right now?

Alice: Why?

Aiden: I want to picture you.

Alice: Okay …

Aiden: So what are you wearing and where are you?

Alice: I’m at a costume party and I’m wearing a rat costume.

Aiden: Not sexy. :(

Alice: Where are you and what are you wearing?

Aiden: I’m in bed. Naked and thinking of you.

Alice: Oh Aiden, the words I’ve always wanted to hear.

Aiden: I wish you were here.

Alice: I’m sure you do.

Aiden: Take your clothes off.

Alice: At the party?!

Aiden: I know you’re not at a party.

Alice: Okay, stalker.

Aiden: Tell me when your clothes are off.

Alice: Why?

Aiden: Because then we can play.

Alice: Play via text?

Aiden: Just take your clothes off.

Alice: Okay. I groaned and took off my T-shirt and shorts. I’m naked.

Aiden: Good. Send me a photo.

Alice: No.

Aiden: No?

Alice: Nope. I don’t do naked photos.

Aiden: Face time with me then?

Alice: Perhaps.

I jumped out of bed and ran to my dresser and quickly applied some lipstick and blush to my face. I grabbed my comb and brushed my hair as well. There was no way I was going to FaceTime with him looking washed out.

Aiden: Is that a yes?

Alice: It was a perhaps.

Ring ring. I laughed as I saw the video call coming in from Aiden.

“I said perhaps, not yes.” I giggled as I answered the call.

“I wanted to see you.” His eyes looked into the phone and I could tell he was trying to see if I was naked. “I can’t see you properly,” he moaned.

“You can’t see my face?”

“I can see your beautiful face, but nothing else.”

“What do you want to see?”

“Anything!” He laughed. “And everything.”

“Let me see you.” I slid onto the bed and lay back.

“Fine.” He lowered the phone and showed me his cock being held by his right hand.

“Oh, ready for me already, are you?”

“I’ve been ready for you since this morning when you left to go to work.”

“Well, you had to go to work as well.”

“Yeah, but I would have skipped for you.” He adjusted the camera, and I was looking at his face closely. “Did you have a good day?”

“Yeah, it was fine. Long and boring, but fine. Liv and I had dinner.”

“Oh? What did you have?”

“Fried chicken.” I laughed as he made a face.

“You girls love fried chicken.”

“Do you have a problem with that?”

“Not at all.” He grinned. “So I’m assuming you told Liv about Elizabeth and the BDSM stuff?”

“Yup, she was in shock, and she’s going to get Xander back.”

“He’s expecting it.” He laughed. “And, I’m sure, looking forward to it.”

“You guys are so devious.”

“Hey, Pot, it’s Kettle calling.”

“Funny, not.” I rolled my eyes and lay back. I was happy that the conversation had gone to everyday stuff and wasn’t just focusing on sex. “So what about you? Did you have a good day?”

“Pretty good. I met Elizabeth for lunch.”

“Oh?” My stomach churned with jealousy.

“Yeah, I needed to give her her final payment.”

“Oh, okay.” I paused. “So hey, do you know if she knew Scott before all this?”

“Scott my brother?” He looked confused.

“Yes, Scott your brother.”

“No, why?”

“No reason.” I shook my head. I knew that Aiden wouldn’t want me to get involved, so I didn’t say anything else to him. “So what else did you do today?”

“Aside from thinking about you?”

“Yeah.” I nodded.

“Not much. Counted down the hours until I could call you tonight.”

“Aww.” I smiled into the phone and then blurted out, “What are we?”

“What do you mean?” He frowned.

“Are we officially dating?”

“Is that what you want?” he asked and the camera slipped so I couldn’t see his face.

“I want what you want.”

“Why don’t we talk about it later?” he said in a soft voice. “Right now, my mind is focused on one thing.”

“What’s that?” I asked softly.

“The quickest way to making you come without touching you.”

“I think you already know.” I laughed and settled into the bed.

“I know,” he groaned. “I want you to touch yourself, Alice, and I want you to put the phone lower so I can see you.”

“You’re such a dirty boy, Aiden.”

“And that’s why you love me.” He laughed and I froze. Did he know how true his words were? “Okay, I want you to take your finger and rub your clit gently—yes, like that.” He groaned as he watched me playing with myself. I closed my eyes as I ran my fingers back and forth and listened to him telling me what to do. I’d never thought that phone sex or even video chat would be particularly sexy, but I’d been wrong. I was so turned on by the sound of his deep voice telling me what to do that I didn’t know what to do with myself.
