Chapter 44

Santos
You’re looking at the guy who’s leveled up to one appointment every two weeks
Ev
Nice!
Santos
My therapist is so impressed with me
I’m going to be done with everything in no time, you’ll see
Ev
Okay
I’m pretty sure therapy isn’t like a race or a competition, though?
Happy for you, obviously
Santos
I know it’s not
I just don’t wanna deal with it longer than I have to
Ev
I get that
But you have to promise you know there’s no shame in going back if that backfires
Santos
It won’t
But yes, I know
She said something like that too
Ev
Good
This means you’re going to get me out of this dinner now? I’m going to die if I listen to my father go on and on about the state of the world any longer
Santos
You do realize I’m thirty minutes away?
Ev
Yes?
Santos
Fine. I’ll call you, pretend it’s a work emergency
Ev
They’ll have questions when it’s not reported back to them
Santos
Sometimes I forget you’re still a goody two shoes under all the skirts and fishnets and lingerie
Ev
Don’t tease me
I don’t want to make it awkward later, that’s all
Santos
So how am I supposed to rescue you?
Ev
I don’t know
Drive faster?
Santos
Not happening
Ev
Ugh
You’re too law-abiding
Santos
I’ll make you a deal
You go through dinner with your parents like a good only child should, and I’ll set up a date with Tony
Ev
For real?
Santos
Don’t you want it? We’ve been talking about it for forever
Ev
No, yeah, of course, but I didn’t know you felt ready to add a Dom already
Santos
I want to push myself
It’ll help prove to my therapist that I can graduate early
And I do get off on him telling me what to do with you
Ev
Believe me, I remember
Fine
Santos
Sweet
Love you, pretty girl
Ev
I love you too
Santos
I’m not sure you’re really upholding your end of the deal if you’re glued to your phone screen
Ev
I can multitask
AND they’re talking about Catalonia
What else am I supposed to do?
Santos
Educate them on colonialism and the people’s right to self-determination?
Ev
Very funny
Santos
I can’t wait to have you all for myself
Maybe I should wait until your parents call it a night
Then I don’t have to deal with blue balls in front of them, I can just grab you and make a mess of you
Ev
Aren’t you driving?
Santos
Who do you take me for? I’m parked in front of the office
Ev
I hate you
Santos
No, you don’t
Your ass might after tonight though
Ev
Your dirty talk is atrocious
Santos
It isn’t
But you can always take the lead
Tell me what you were dreaming about last night
Ev
You think I remember?
Santos
You kept begging me in your sleep, before I woke you up to jack you off
It was hella hot
Ev
I’m so not going to tell you while I’m having dinner
Santos
Fine
I think I might make a stop to buy some groceries
We’re almost out of the apple juice you like
Ev
No
Please don’t
Give me a minute
Santos
What do you need a minute for?
Ev
To go to the bathroom and send you the picture I just did?
Santos
Fuck
I got real lucky with you, didn’t I?
Those balls are going to be a never seen before shade of purple when I’m done with them
Pantone is going to reach out to me to name it
Ev
I’m pretty sure Pantone is cancelled now
Santos
I didn’t say I’d take them up on it
Ev
Right
Santos
Jokes aside, that tight skirt should be illegal on you, babes
Ev
You really like it?
Santos
I like it even more when you get rid of that oversized sweater and I can see the outline of your trapped clit
Ev
Maybe you are getting better at dirty talk
Santos
Yeah? You like it when I remind you of your useless clit?
The one I own?
Ev
I really do
Santos
I think you should go down another size
Ev
Yeah?
Santos
Yeah
Order that while you wait for me
Ev
Yes, Sir
Santos
Good girl
You’re going to look so pretty when you shrink completely
Ev
That’s not a thing
Santos
You’re the one who’s always reminding me it’s about the fantasy
Ev
You’re right
Sorry, Sir
Santos
That’s better
Now go do that
I won’t start the car until I have proof of purchase
Ev
That’s very Dom of you
Santos
Any complaints?
Ev
No
I like it
Santos
Yeah, I know you do
See you at home, babes
