I got up and squatted beside the fence that separated me and my fowl arch-nemesis. “Let's have a talk, man-to-man. Justwhatis your deal with me? You don't act like this with the others. Is it my good looks? Or my charm? You jealous all your little ladies love me?” I rambled as I reached out to try to smooth out his head feathers. Of course, the little tyrant pecked a red spot on my hand.

Grumbling, I left the area and got back to work. It was better to keep myself busy rather than lie around, moping that I wouldn't be able to cuddle Austin to sleep tonight.

That was another thing that surprised me. I'd cuddled with my exes but mostly because they nagged me to do so, but Iwantedto stick to Austin all the time. Thank god he doesn't find my clinginess annoying, ‘cuz I was enjoying every second with him while I could.

The rest of the day passed quickly when I put my thoughts back on my work. Physical labor really did help to keep the mind clear of distractions. There weren't any guests at the farm this week, so it made doing my chores a lot easier without having to stop and answer questions every few minutes.

Alice had sent us home early, given that our chores were finished and tomorrow was the weekend. I didn't want to go back to the empty apartment, so I drove to my mom's instead.

She was in the middle of making dinner and refused to let me help her, as usual. So I sat at the dining table, petting Eddie as I told her all the trouble the animals at the farm got up to today.

I got a text from Austin after dinner was finished asking if I was free for a call. I said my goodbyes to Mom and sprinted it out of there so fast I left a trail of dust behind me.

The ten-minute drive home only took me five minutes before I was running up the stairs, unlocking my door, and calling Austin. He picked up as I plopped myself on the couch, and I tried not to think about the countless times we'd fooled around on it these past few weeks.

Austin's baby face appeared on the tiny screen. Water droplets clung to the tips of his hair, falling to his bare chest.

“You just showered?” I asked, clearing my throat to release the frog that had somehow gotten in there.

“Yeah, I finished work earlier today. Theo's taking me out later tonight,” he said as he rubbed a towel over his wet hair. Theo was the friend he was staying with. They met during one of Austin's online classes for college. They were put into a group project together and apparently connected over an interest in arts.

“Oh, where, uh, are you guys going?” I asked, trying not to let the jealousy show in my tone. I wasn't successful.

Austin smirked but didn’t call me out on me. “Just to the club. Theo says I need to get out there more or I'll end up alone.”

“B-but you have me!” I sputtered. Did it sound like I was accusing him? But we did have an agreement. We were exclusive until the winter holidays ended, and now here Austin was, telling me he was going to the club to let other men put their hands all over him? I didn't like that one bit.

Laughter broke me out of the internal rage that was boiling up at the image of every Tom, Dick, andJaredgrinding up against Austin.

“Then you better make sure I'm not…temptedto go home with someone else. Theo won't be back for a couple more hours,” Austin said, and my mouth went dry.

Was he suggesting what I thought he was? I'd never had phone sex before. What was one even supposed to do—say—over the phone? My cock was already swelling in anticipation.

Austin must have taken my silence to mean something else, because his shoulders slumped as he muttered, “Never mind.”

“Wait! I want to! I want to so bad that my dick's already leaking like a faucet.”

The smile returned to Austin's face. “Show me,” he demanded.

The sound of my heart drumming overtime rushed through my ears as all the blood in my brain flowed south. I gulped as my hand slowly moved to unzip my jeans and pull my cock from my briefs. Austin's face moved closer to the screen, like he was anticipating the sight.

“I can't see. Move the screen lower,” he said. I immediately complied, bringing the screen down and angling up so my erection was captured while my face was also still on screen. Seeing myself from this angle felt so… dirty. I gave my dick a hard stroke that left more precum dribbling from the tip.

“God, that's so fucking hot,” he said with a lick of his lips. The screen shifted as he moved to the bed. He lay against the pillow with one hand holding the screen and the other below him, off screen. “I miss your dick. I missyou.”

My heart sped up again, going so fast I wondered if this was how I'd meet my end. Someone would eventually find my body with my dick still standing hard and tall over my corpse.

“I miss you too,” I said. God, I missed him more than I thought was possible. Falling asleep alone was miserable now that I knew the comfort of having Austin's warm body beside me.

Austin didn't say anything, but there was a gleam of wetness in his eyes. His breaths came out in small pants, and the phone shook slightly. His arm fluttered in rhythmic movements that clued me in on exactly what he was doing.

“Hey, that's not fair. I gave you what you wanted,” I said while squeezing the base of my cock. “Don't you think I deserve a reward as well?”

Austin chuckled and moved again. The screen was black for a minute before being settled on something so that the camera was pointed straight at him. Now that I was able to see his entire body, I realized that he'd been completely naked the whole time.

He put in some wireless headphones before settling himself down with his legs spread open so that they were on either side of the phone, meaning the camera was pointed directly at his most intimate area.

My mouth watered at the sight of his hard dick, and my eyes trailed down until it landed on his twitching hole.
