“What are you doing?”

“Hmm, making dinner. Thought I would invite Lily over.”

“Wish I were there,” he mumbled solemnly.

“Jay, you’re acting like a kid.”

“Yeah, Jay, give that girl a breather for once,” Mikey called out.

“Fucker,” Jay gritted out. “I love you, sweetheart. I’ll call you later, okay?”

“Love you,” I said as my phone cut off with a beep.

That night, Lily was over, and we dug into our pasta in front of the TV. We were watching anime, and she swore it was the best thing I would ever watch. And I must admit it wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was pretty good.

“You’re right. I love this,” I said, shedding a tear over a flashback scene where the main character recalls his family being killed by a demon lord. “But it’s so sad.”

“I know.” Lily’s excited eyes met mine.

Lily’s phone went off with a couple of notifications. “Looks like the boys are on stage.” She opened an app on the phone, and soon, we were streaming the show live. Lily did some magic and connected it to the TV.

“Lan looks sad. I hope everything is okay with him and Katy.” Lan looked like a tortured hero as he broke into his rhythmic guitar while switching it up with his keyboard.

“I hope so too. Matty texted me that he showed up at the last minute and that Katy was a no-show.” Lily gave me a look.

“He looks like he’s not fine at all.” I wondered how Katy was feeling, but she was pretty tight-lipped about whatever was happening with them.

“I know, right,” she mumbled, her eyes glued on the bassist as he rocked the stage. Showing off his glorious tattoos in an open shirt, Mikey was sweating and grinning like he was in his element.

I smiled, shaking my head, hoping secretly they both get together while my eyes trained on my man.

His voice purred through our speakers, so rich and smooth like golden honey piercing straight into my heart.

On a whim, I took out my phone and sent a cheeky text to him.

Evy- I’m watching you right now and it’s doing things to me.

Evy- I wish you were here to fuck me hard.

Evy- Fuck, I think I just made a mess of my panties.

I giggled to myself as I hit send.

That night, I faced the repercussions of my actions when he wouldn’t end the call till we both came at least three times.

I was sweating and moaning, my bones like clouds when I went to sleep.

I must say, phone sex was quite interesting.

CHAPTER 17

“Evelyn, so nice to meet you.” Angela greeted me with a welcoming smile that made her hazel eyes pop.

“Likewise.” I smiled, shaking her hand in a warm grip. “Thank you for wanting to see me.”

“Please take a seat.” She gestured toward the chair as she walked around the massive wooden desk and eased down into hers. She was poised, immaculately dressed in a tight pencil skirt and blouse, and the backdrop of the city skyline behind her made her look all the more powerful.

I set my purse aside as I eased down opposite her.
