CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Ridge:my new favorite thing is waking up beside you
Ridge: and falling asleep with you in my arms
Ridge:and hearing you whisper my name in your dreams
Ridge:Garrett and Drake are harassing me about grinning like a fool
Ridge:will you defend my honor?
Callie:Hey, boyfriend! My favorite thing, other than all those you already listed, is finding numerous texts from you. It tells me you’re always thinking about me. Not that I ever doubt you do. Work has been busy, but you’re always on my mind. I was in the outdoor run with the pups. The service is spotty at best out there. I’m back inside now. Tell Drake and Garrett they’ll have to deal with me if they don’t leave you alone. Not sure how I’ll deliver their punishment, but that’s only a problem if their behavior continues. Let’s hope they leave you alone.
Ridge:knew I could count on you, sweetness
Callie:That seems only fair since you do so much for me. My knees are still weak from that last orgasm you gave me. Of all the objects I would’ve guessed to be hidden in your pocket, a vibrator wouldn’t make the list. The books I’m reading didn’t prepare me for that. I’m also a bit surprised you’d allow something else to give me pleasure, Mr. Territorial.
Ridge:a sex toy isn’t my competition
Ridge:I’m more than willing to be a team player when it comes to getting you off
Ridge:but I’ll be the only cock involved
Ridge:think of the bullet as an extension of me
Ridge:and another new nickname?
Ridge:you’re stroking my ego really hard
Ridge:speaking of hard, my dick misses you. it makes walking difficult
Ridge:I’m gonna catch so much shit if the guys notice my third leg that won’t go down
Callie:My goodness! You’re very chatty, which you seem to reserve for me. I’m the only one who gets this talkative version of you. That means a lot. It’s comforting to know that you’re just as attached as me. My belly swoops are very active right now. I love how you get me going with a few simple words. My blush is probably going to concern Stacey soon. Maybe she’ll let me take my break early.
Ridge:what’re you gonna do on your break
Callie:Think of you. Obviously. That’s all I do these days. I’m not complaining. You keep my brain occupied. It helps my shifts go faster. Soon enough we’ll be together again. Gosh, I sound obsessed. Maybe I am. If you’re not careful, I’ll get addicted to you. But let’s be honest. I am already.
Ridge:don’t threaten me with a good time
Callie:Well, it’s a done deal. You’ve already intoxicated me. I’ll never get you out of my system. Does that make me sound deranged? If it does, I’ll handle the consequences. We’re stuck with each other, right?
Ridge:better be
Callie:I certainly plan to keep you around. You’re the only one who makes my… kitty purr. Along with everything else. Not sure what I’d do without you at this point.
Ridge:lol you’ll never have to find out
Ridge:can’t type pussy?
Callie:No way! Especially not at work. It feels wrong. I’m sweating just thinking about talking like that. Stacey is really going to think I have a fever at this rate.
Ridge:why? pussy is another name for cat
Callie:Oh, please. That’s not the definition you’re using and we both know it.
Ridge:it turns me on when you’re sassy
Callie:You’re going to get me in trouble, boyfriend. I almost bumped into the wall.
Ridge:smh watch the corners
Callie:Those sharp edges are dangerous. Pretty sure one just tried to leap out at me.
Ridge:no more sexting you for, sweetness. I’ll change the subject
Callie:TYSM. My concentration would appreciate it.
Ridge:how’s Walter?
Callie:He’s got a case of the zoomies, like always. Glitzy is here to play. They get along well. Sydney is very happy we have a dog. We made plans to take the pups on a walk later. I couldn’t say no if I tried. Her enthusiasm is infectious.
Ridge:glad to hear it. still okay taking him to the park tomorrow?
Callie:Absolutely. I’m looking forward to getting to know your friends better too.
Ridge:don’t get too excited or I’ll be jealous and uninvite them
Callie:I wouldn’t dream of it, Mr. Territorial.
