There’s a pause and I feel theanticipation building. I lick my lips, wondering if I should text somethingelse, but, very suddenly, my phone is ringing. I jump, my heart racing. I pickit up.
“Hey,” Ezra’s voice says as soonas I put the phone against my ear. A shiver runs through me.
“Hey.”
“So…what are you wearing?” Ezraasks, a smile in his voice. I snort.
“Lingerie,” I say, pressing mylips together to contain my grin.
“I know you’re joking but, damn,that’s hot,” Ezra says, and I chuckle. I feel nervous, but it’s more excitementthan anything else.
“Should I imagine you in athree-piece suit, then?” I ask.
“If you want,” Ezra replies. Idon’t. I want to imagine him in his own clothes, as he is. “What were youdoing?” he asks. I shrug, even though he can’t see me.
“Nothing. Surfing the web.”
“Surfing the…God, you’re so…”
“What?”
“Perfect,” he says, and thatmakes my stomach clench more than the talk about lingerie.
“I have no idea what you’retalking about,” I tell him truthfully.
“I know,” he replies, and I’mleft feeling pleased but confused. “Do you want to hear what I was thinkingabout?” he asks, his voice going a little darker. I shift on the bed.
“Yeah,” I say, trying to keep myvoice flat and even.
“I was thinking about suckingyour dick,” he says, and I can’t help it – I laugh. “Well, if you’re gonna belike that…” He grumbles.
“No, no, sorry,” I say, but Ican’t stop chuckling. “It’s just…that was so cheesy,” I tease.
“Dude, don’t you know me? I’m aconnoisseur of cheese. Blue cheese. Gouda. Babybel.”
“Ok, that last one-”
“Sex cheese.”
“Ew,” I laugh. “I thought we weretalking about my dick,” I say, surprising myself a little. Usually, I’m onlythis bold with Iva.
“Yeah, and then youlaughed.”
“I’m wearing my seriousexpression now, I swear,” I lie, biting down to keep my smile from growing.
