Dean Gastright: I really think he’s fine, don’t worry x

Sadie Stewart: Hope so. He seemed a bit OTT tonight. Or was it just me?xoxo

Dean: It wasn’t just you. I think maybe he was just tired and overcompensating. I think he’s had a few late nights.x

Sadie: Ah, OK. As long as that’s all that is. I don’t like the idea of him NOT being ok xoxo

Dean: Don’t worry, he’s fine.x

Sadie: Cool. While I think about it, Tim said one of his colleagues at the university wants a first tattoo, and it’s writing based, so I passed your details on.xoxo

Dean: Cool, thanks x

Sadie: No probs. She’s not going to be available for a few weeks or months, so it’s not a straight away dealie. Apparently she’s a little 'quirky', so be prepared lol xoxo

Dean: OK :) I consider myself forewarned lol x

Emily

My phone rings within seconds.

I giggle as I answer. “Yes?”

“That being the case, I thought maybe we could move from sexting to phone sex,” he rumbles in my ear, definitely exaggerating the Cajun drawl somewhat. It sends a pulse of warmth straight to my pussy.

Oh boy. Things are definitely hotting up.

“Sounds good to me,” I purr. In spite of everything, sex is an area in which I’ve always enjoyed a certain level of confidence.

I love sex. I always have, and I’m good at it.

Lying here right now, almost naked, talking to the sexiest man I have ever known, is making me feel seriously good.

Powerful. Turned on. This is me in my element.

I stretch, luxuriating in how good it feels, and let out a sigh of contentment.

“Hmmmm,” he growls, “what are you doing to make that sort of sound?”

I grin. “Just a stretch,” I sigh again to tease him a little. “Felt really good.”

He makes another feral noise, and I giggle. “Man, just thinking of that gorgeous body of yours stretched out in front of me...god, baby, that’d be fan fuckin’ tastic right now.”

“You think my body is gorgeous?” I hate self-doubt, but it is so unbelievably good to be with a man who apparently likes my body after years of Gav’s derision that I can’t get enough of Eli’s admiration.

“Fuck yeah. I can’t look at you for too long while we’re at work or I get hard.”

“Holy shit,” I breathe, imagining his cock lengthening and hardening for me.

I’ve felt the indisputable evidence of his arousal pressed up and ground against me when we’ve kissed previously, and it feels amazing even through his clothes.

Just tonight, for example, he had me pressed so tightly up against him when he kissed me goodnight that I swear I felt him throb against my mound through his jeans.

I can’t wait to feel him bare, to run my hands, my lips, my tongue over his cock, to drive him as wild as he’s making me.

I want to make him crazy. Throbbing, restless, eyes-rolling-backwards crazy.

Each careful step we're taking is making us hotter and hotter for each other, and I spent most of today weak kneed and needful.

His breath comes a little faster. “Are you touching yourself?” I ask him.

“Mmhmm,” he sighs, and my clit jumps at the thought.

“Jesus,” I mutter, running my hand over my breast so I can tweak my nipple. It sends a spark through me, and my pussy throbs. I wish so badly that I was there to see it. Watching my men masturbate has always gotten me hot in the past. Watching Eli do it will incinerate me. “How does it feel?”

“Fucking aches,” he grunts, sounding like he’s speaking through gritted teeth, and I bite my lip in sympathy and yearning. Eli is painfully hard for me, and I want to be lying next to him so I can both ease his pleasurable suffering and torture him further. “Tell me you’re touching yourself, too.”

I place the phone to my other ear so my right hand can snake down into my lace briefs and feel myself.

Oh wow. I tease him with a soft grunt. “I am so wet,” I murmur to him, my breath catching as I start to rub my clit in firm circles with my middle finger the way I like.

It normally takes a little longer for me to become this slick and sensitive, but right now my whole body feels alive with tingles like static electricity.

Guess this is what happens when Eli Gastright is your boyfriend.

He groans, and I feel like an absolute queen for making this man, this particular man, weak for me.

“Someday soon, sweetheart, I am going to lick up every last drop of that honey of yours, and I’m gonna spend hours doin’ it.

I’m gonna make you dizzy.” He exhales, and it sounds like he’s shuddering. “I bet you taste so good…”

Oh my god.

Even the thought of his tongue on my pussy, smoothing and flicking and devouring me until I explode for him, is making me crazy. Receiving head is my kryptonite, and I can picture it so clearly that I can almost feel the wet sweep of his tongue in the exact right place.

This is the hottest thing I’ve ever done, and he’s not even in the same room as me. He’s mere streets away.

Why don’t I call a cab?

Why don’t I just open my front door and run to his flat?

But oh, blast it, I am enjoying this as it is. The tease of the so-close-and-yet-so-far quality to the phone sex. So I decide to be more Eli and just let it be, and not try to force things.

After all, it feels really, really good…

For long moments we carry on pleasuring ourselves, punctuating with quiet, feral grunts and shaky sighs and throaty words that spur us both on.

He tells me I’m beautiful, and the almost primitively sensual sounds he is making are pushing me closer to the edge.

I love it. I’m so glad he gives voice to how turned on he is.

It’s made me sad in the past when previous lovers have been silent.

I do so love to hear my partner’s enjoyment and appreciation, almost to fetishistic levels, and Eli’s deep, soft, tameless sounds are beautiful to me.

The noises I make become earthier, more honest, less delicate as the feeling builds and spreads mercilessly through me.

I groan because I simply cannot help it.

As I rub harder and faster, my flesh makes wet, dewy noises.

“I wish I was there,” I confess to him, hungry and needy, because shit that would be stupendous right about now.

“I just want to jump on you and...and...I want to be filled by you…” I gasp.

My orgasm is within fingertip reach, and I strain towards it.

He growls. “That’s it, chere. I want your legs wrapped around my hips.

I want your pussy clamped around me.” His voice is sounding breathless, like he’s struggling to talk through the erotic haze we are both in.

“I want those tits of yours in my mouth...while you grind into me…” His scorching words sound like they’re being torn from him. He sighs, and I am done for.

“I’m coming,” I manage to bite out, before my whole body tenses as tight as a harp string and my core just bursts with the fizziest, most electric pleasure I have ever known, throbbing and pulsing for longer than ever before.

I gasp and cry out and make the dirtiest moans, surprising myself with their guttural filthiness.

I am dimly aware of his gasping and groaning as his own climax breaks.

It’s the hottest thing I have ever heard in my life, and sharpens the last beats of my own release. I love the sound of a man coming.

Especially this man.

“Fucking hell, Em,” he sighs in my ear, coming down from the high. “That was...wow.”

“It sure was.” I have to admit, I was a little concerned that he wanted to take things slow because he wasn’t completely sure he was sexually into me or something. I grin to myself. Tonight has dispelled that notion entirely.

He lets out a long sigh. “I wish you were here so I could hold you,” he admits, and it makes my heart clench.

“Soon, yeah?” I murmur hopefully.

“Abso-fucking-lutely,” he agrees firmly. “Now that you're mine, it's a done deal as far as I'm concerned. Your nights of sleeping alone are numbered, so make the most of them.”

I hum happily. “I won’t miss it,” I assure him. “So...how are you feeling about the pace? I mean, is this OK?”

“This is fine, baby.” God, that Louisiana drawl just tickles me right in the clit every time, even now in the afterglow.

“I may want to pace us, but that definitely does not mean I wanna dawdle. But if you’re OK with it, I’d like to reach a point real soon where I sleep with you in my arms every night, whether at your place or mine.

It feels… I don't know, inevitable. And I don't want to put it off much longer. I want to wake up with you next to me every day. I want that to be my life.”

I shiver with pleasure at the idea. “Deal.”
