“Not really.” She said, biting her bottom lip as she felt the unease of her recent interaction settle back in. “Just a weird moment in the hall.” She looked to the open bathroom door, to the loft door beyond and felt the moment come back. The nerves and unease from the stranger outside it. She wished she had closed the bathroom door, something she never did.

“Tell me about it.” Aurelio said, not really asking.

“There was a guy outside my loft.” She pictured Oliver again. “He was looking at the lofts he said, but its so late.”

“Really?” Aurelio said, his tone shifting from the light one he had begun with. “Yeah. It’s almost midnight.” She heard shuffling from his end. “What did he look like?”

“Tall, around my age I would say.” She drew up his image. “Blonde hair, green eyes.” She heard a humph from Aurelio and focused back on the phone.

“Did he give you a name?” Aurelio asked, the sounds of papers rustling in the background

“Oliver, I think” she stopped the faucet, the quiet of her loft settling around her. “He was, I don’t know. Nice?” “Is that a question?” Aurelio asked, but his usually ease was gone. “Did he do anything?”

“No. just, the way he looked at me.” Mia gave a shiver in the warm water. “He was like a wolf looking at a sheep.”

“Well,” Aurelio began but Mia didn’t want to spend any more brain power on it.

“Don’t worry about it. He’s gone and we are here.” She splashed the tub water around, hoping Aurelio would perk up.

“Yes, we are.” His voice was deeper. She felt a shift below the water, her thighs giving a little ache. Over the few weeks they had been talking, they had skirted around playfully. Neither had committed to taking talk further then that, talk.

“How’s the water?” his voice was like velvet, deep soft and soothing. She closed her eyes, lips parting as she spoke quietly.

“A little cold.” She said, the warmth not enough to quell the goosebumps on her arms. “Empty.” She bit her lip as she breathed the last word out.

“hmm.” She heard the deep rumble from his chest. “Send me a picture.” The words hung in the air, the dare. She felt her eyes open, her mind frozen as she took the phone from her ear. Without a second thought, a moment to reconsider, she snapped a picture. She looked at it, her legs poking out of the water, the bubbles hiding what was under the surface. She smiled coyly and hit send. Another, deeper, rumble sounded as Aurelio groaned.

“Fuck I hate bubbles.” She heard him say, a laugh escaping her lips. She waited, the silence growing as she heard Aurelio’s footsteps. She heard a door close and then he spoke again.

“Mia.” His voice was deep and lucious, she felt it vibrate through the phone and straight into her body.

“Yes, Aurelio.” She tried to keep her voice even, nerves causing her bite down to hard on her lip. She gave an exhale as the pain brought her back to center.

“I want you,” he spoke softly, the growl low in his throat as he spoke. “drag your fingertips up your leg.” Mia felt her fingers move as the words registered. Slowly, she let her fingers graze her skin, her knees poking above the water as she slid her fingers up. She felt the goosebumps on her skin as she relished this touch.

“now what do you want me to do?” she barely spoke, her throat tight as she reached her upper thighs.

“Keep going.” She heard him grunt once, her fingers brushing the edge of slit. She let one dip in, a soft gasp escaping her lips as she did.

“ohh, Mia.” Aurelio said as she let another gasp slip free, her fingers working the inside of her pussy, her clit throbbing with need.

“Aurelio.” She breathed, his own grunts and moans climbing down the line to her. She felt her need rise higher, desire and lust taking over as she took a deep breath.

“Scream Beautiful.” Aurelio said as she peaked, her cries ringing out as he let out a deep cry of his own. She felt her mind float down, reality settling in around her, she sat up, the phone next to her, still on speaker.

“Mia?” she heard Aurelio call after a moment. “Are you still there?” there was an edge of something there, worry maybe.

“I’m here.” She said, her head light. “That was.” She began, pausing as the tension rose.

“Perfect.” Aurelio said, filling the gap. “At least for me, I hope it was for you too.” She felt her smile return, the dirty truth hanging there.

“That was perfect.” She repeated, a sweet laugh escaping Aurelio as she giggled herself.

Chapter Eight

Sleeping had never been better since Aurelio had come into her life. After the nights events, a first for the two of them, they had settled back into easy conversation. Until Aurelio decided he wanted to help her fall asleep by telling her all the things he would do if he was there. Her fingers had listened as he spoke and sleep had found her quickly.

The tone of the late night convos shifted, they were in a new phase Mia felt. They ahd shifted this relationship and with it the expectations grew. Despite what they now shared, Mia had other things keeping her mind worried.
