"Is it too much?"

"I've been walking around half hard since I made you come in my hallway. My teammates think I'm snorting little blue pills for fun. This list could be a mile long and it wouldn't be too much."

His vehement speech gives me the courage to tell him about this morning. "Lara and Indie know about us. They helped me get started on the list."

"Tell whoever you want--there's no shame in what we're doing. Personally, the more people who know you're off-limits, the happier I am. But I promised to take my cues from you, so I am." His eyes rake over me, making my skin hot.

"This road trip was really inconvenient. When do you get home?"

"Three more days." He rubs his knuckles along his jaw as he watches me. Even over the phone, his attention elicits a riot of goosebumps. "It's too damn long. I don't want to wait to hear your sexy little whimpers. Let me help you cross something off tonight."

Just the rasp in his voice has the heavy heartbeat thrumming between my legs. Having someone dead set on giving me pleasure is unfamiliar territory for me.

There is only one we can cross off tonight. "You want to have phone sex?"

"Don't you? Isn't that why it's on the list?"

"Yes," I croak. Indie's words stuck with me and I added it when I got home, along with a few other things.

"How do you want to come tonight? Will it be on your fingers as you imagine they're mine? Or do you have a toy you want to use like it's my cock?"

"Fingers," I say, surprising myself. Normally I'd reach for my trusty vibrator, but there's something carnal about being able to feel what he would.

Xavier's groan shoots straight to my core, flickering through me like he's right beside me. "Fuck, you're such a filthy girl and no one's ever taken care of you the way you need. But that ends now. You're going to touch yourself and teach me everything you need to get there. When you unravel, I want my name on your lips."

The mouth on this man is everything I didn't know I'd been missing. He's so damn sure of himself. "I can see you're not lacking any confidence tonight."

"Only because I'm determined. Sleep is overrated. I have no problem spending all night talking you through it, if that's what it takes."

Yeah, I don't think that's going to be a problem. Knowing how motivated he is to learn what I like has flipped a switch in me. No one else has ever put in a fraction of the effort he's talking about.

But oh god, where do I start. Verbalizing something so intimate is new to me.

"I'm not sure how to do this," I admit quietly. "Help me get started . . . please?"

Chapter 21

Xavier

Fuck she's pretty when she's nervous. I've never seen her this unsure before and it only makes me want to take care of her more. But I also don't want to push her if she's not comfortable.

I'm about to tell her as much when she adds, "I need this, Xavier. Tell me what to do." She shifts against the pillows, bringing more of her upper body into the frame. There's still a pink tint to her cheeks, but the waver in voice is gone.

"That fucking tank top is going to kill me, Vi." The material is molded to the tempting swell of her breasts and her peaked nipples, making my mouth water. I can't wait to spend hours exploring her body. "Do you even know what you do to me?" I run my hand up my shaft once, to ease the ache--it's all I'll allow myself until for now.

Vivi's lashes flutter against the apples of her cheeks, my praise making her blossom.

"I'm already so damn hard for you. It's going to be a miracle if I make it out of this without cum covering my stomach."

Her chest rises with a shaky inhale. "I'm not opposed to that." She shifts, setting the phone against something so I can see more of her.

"Nah. Tonight is about you, not me. Stick your fingers in your mouth for me and get them nice and wet."

I'm captivated as she lifts two fingers, watching them disappear between her parted lips. "I'd do almost anything to fuck that perfect mouth. Make it my warm, wet home until I'm coming down your throat. You didn't have to put that on the list, but I can't say I'm sad to see it there."

She moans around her fingers and my dick twitches against my stomach.

"You're doing so good. When they're nice and soaked, slip them between your legs for me and play with yourself."
