"I've never... how do we do this?"

"Do what?" I play dumb.

"You're evil."

"Not sure what you're referring to."

"You are too."

"No, I'm tired. I'm not quick right now."

"Bullshit." She lets out another nervous laugh. "Why do I even talk to you?"

"Cause I'm hot?"

"You are." Her voice gets sincere. "But that's not why. It doesn't hurt, but it's not why. I... I care about you."

The tone of her voice makes me warm all over. It's not the same as the raw heat of desire. That I feel inoneplace. This, I feel everywhere.

"Kit, if you keep fucking with me this isn't going to happen."

That's worth the risk. "What isn't going to happen?"

"Christopher Lockhart! I will hang up this phone, right now."

"Am I torturing you too thoroughly?"

"Yes."

"What if I want you panting with need?"

"Then you touch yourself for my listening pleasure."

Fuck, she's confident all of a sudden.

I like it.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Is that how it goes, phone sex? Or I guess if you've never done it... That's how I want it to go."

I continue teasing her. "You want to listen to me fuck myself?"

She lets out a deep groan. "Yes. Please. You first."

"Demanding."

"Thank you." Her voice gets breathy. "Go first. I want to hear you come."

I could demand she go first. She would, and I want to hear her come. But I want her dripping with need more.

First things first. "You sure no one can overhear?"

"I'll put on music. Just in case."

"Britney?"

She lets out a nervous laugh. "Shut up."
