"Your beautiful daughter has been a terror since you left. She's spending the night at Rob's. You've created a monster."
"Me?" He laughed.
I smiled and pressed the phone harder against my ear. "I love your laugh. I miss you so much when you're gone."
"I miss you too, Penny."
There were some static noises on the line and then a long pause.
I moved the phone to my other ear. "James? Are you still there?"
"I'm here."
"I was thinking that we should hire another person for our security detail. So you don't have to travel alone."
"Spread your legs, baby."
I laughed. "What?"
"You're all alone. Spread your legs for me."
I looked up at the camera in the corner of the family room. I didn't think I'd ever be comfortable knowing that either Porter or Briggs could be watching. James' assurance that they didn't watch us when our clothes were off wasn't that convincing. He said they were required to check the cameras every five minutes to verify that everything was in order, but that was it. To me, that just verified the fact that they looked, regardless of whatever we were doing. And that meant that they had seen us in very compromising positions. Quite often. It also meant they were watching me now. I swallowed hard. "James, the cameras. You know, it's been over three years since our wedding night. Not a single bad thing has happened to us since. Not one. We're safe. We need to discuss the cameras again."
"I was actually just starting to like the cameras. Did you know that you could access them remotely?"
I frowned and stared at the camera in the corner. "You're watching me?"
"I want to see you touch yourself."
My heart raced at his words. "But Porter and Briggs can see."
"I can see. And right now, I need to see you trail your fingers up the inside of your thigh."
We'd had phone sex before. When he was away on business. But not like this. Not with him watching me. "James, I don't think..."
"Baby, I need you. I'm so fucking hard."
I pressed my lips together.
"Let me hear you," he said. "Let me see you."
I closed my eyes, blocking out the camera, trying not to think about the fact that James might not be the only one watching. I leaned back on the couch and slowly traced my hand up my thigh.
James groaned. "Just like that, baby."
I knew he was jerking off to this. I could easily picture him with his hand wrapped around his erection, staring at me through his computer screen.
"Touch yourself."
I grabbed the sides of my thong to lower it.
"No. Push the fabric to the side. Like we don't have much time. Like I'm about to fuck you hard and fast. Just the way you like it."
I pushed the fabric to the side and let my fingers slip between my legs. I was so fucking wet.
"Imagine it's my tongue."
And I moaned, because I knew exactly what that would feel like.
