“Are you ready?” I check, loving how she’s squirming already as she watches me.

“Sage!”

“Fine, fine.” I laugh and slowly pull the edges of the ribbons apart to expose my breasts. It feels sort of anticlimactic after I built it up so much, but the look on Aspen’s adoring face confirms that I don’t have to worry about any disappointment on her end.

“Fuck, baby, your tits are so pretty. The best present I could ever open,” she praises as she repositions herself on her bed, holding her phone back far enough I can see her using her free hand to play with her nipple piercing. “Can you touch them for me?” she continues. “Imagine it’s my hand rubbing against your nipples, my mouth sucking and licking and nipping at them until you’re soaking wet for me,” she says, all the while playing with her breast for me to see.

“Holy shit, babe, I already am,” I admit. “This is so hot.”

“Show me,” she commands with a huge smile. “Show me just how much you wish I could be inside you right now.”

I position myself at the head of the bed, leaning back against the plush headboard as I spread my legs and angle the camera to see between them. I move the fabric of my thong to the side, and slowly push two fingers inside as Aspen moans.

“That’s it, baby. Are you pretending it’s my fingers fucking into you right now?” she asks, and I nod, biting my lip to try to stop any moans from escaping that my family could hear. Aspen is making my concerns very difficult to focus on as she continues to direct me, though. “Get those fingers nice and wet for me, Sage. Now show me, hold them up to the camera before you lick them clean for me.”

Holy fuck, this is hot.I do exactly what she asks me to, holding eye contact as I lick and suck my fingers clean in the filthiest way I can manage. Sex is always fun with Aspen, but I had no idea I would enjoy it this much even when we are in different states.

“Are you touching yourself too?” I ask as I move my hand back between my thighs.

“Yeah, but I’m not going to come until you do,” she responds, angling the phone lower so I can see she’s managed to take off her shorts and is completely naked on her bed now, two fingers disappearing inside of her as her thumb focuses on her clit.

I mirror her movements, getting closer to the edge as each brush of my thumb on my swollen clit sends sparks of pleasure through me. I imagine I’m the one fingering her,that she’s the one touching me. I’m already so close, but I’m not ready for this to be over

“Come for me, baby,” she says firmly, and I can’t hold my release back any longer. The short breathy moan that she lets out moments later as she follows me over the edge is so erotic, and my orgasm seems to go on and on as I replay the noise over and over again in my mind, wanting to commit it perfectly to memory.

Every time with Aspen is special. But getting to share this, even though we’re apart, felt significant somehow, a sign of how strong our relationship really is.

We get cleaned up and return to our beds, still on our video call the whole time. We might not have everything all figured out yet, but as Aspen fills me in on all the details of her trip I haven’t heard yet, I’m struck with this sense of peace as I think about our future. I have no doubt that we’ll be able to adapt to whatever life throws at us.

I’m just so grateful that I’ll get to do it all with my best friend, the absolute love of my life at my side.

ASPEN

“Play it again for me,” Arthur says.

I start the recording again from the time I have marked, and my father’s voice is clear, complaining about dealing with “bullshit” from his employee after unnecessarily labeling his ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, and calling him a diversity hire.

“Is it enough to threaten him with?” I ask again.

“I don’t know…” Arthur trails off. I asked him to come over this morning so we could talk about what I should do with the recording. “Obviously he sounds like a complete asshole, but would he believe that enough people would care to cancel him… hard to say.”

“I have to try something,” I complain. “I’m sick of hiding away parts of my life for him. Sage deserves better.”

“I know,” Arthur agrees. “I can’t wait to visit when you can actually act like a couple. I bet it’s the exact same wayshe’s always treated you, only with slightly more kissing,” he teases.

“Pretty much.” I laugh. Arthur was thrilled when I told him the truth about Sage and I. I’m so glad I didn’t agree to his proposal last year. I can’t imagine how different my life could be.

“I think I need to at least try to use the recording,” I tell him. As much as I wouldloveto expose him as the complete asshole that he is, I know he would only be replaced by another potentially worse politician. With where he lives, there’s very little chance the votes would swing to another party affiliation, so Arthur agrees it will do more good to threaten to expose him than to actually do it.

“Do you want me to come with you?” Arthur offers, surprising me.

“Wouldn’t that kind of expose whose side you’re really on?” I ask.

“Not necessarily. I have an idea.” He smirks. “Don’t tell him I’ve heard the recording, okay?”

“Alright, let’s go find him,” I agree, leading Arthur to my father’s office, where he spends most of his time.
