I smiled at that. We did have incredibly eerie timing.
“Alright, well, we’re gonna have to change the subject now, or I’m gonna end up saying something far worse than I already have. I can feel it,” he stated, sounding amused and a little bit irritated all at the same time. Knowing what it was that he needed, knowing what I could do to him that would fix his mood, my heart sped up. I felt that same tingle between my legs that he’d induced the night before and squeezed my legs together again. I couldn’t help but to toy with him, though…just a little.
“Booooo!”
He laughed again. “Did you just boo me?”
“Sure did. I’ve never known you to hold back what you’re thinking.”
He scoffed and yawned at the same time. “I’m only holding back because you can’t handle it.”
“Whatever.”
“Didn’t you just tell me to stop flirting with you?” he asked.
“I just asked what’d gotten into you; I never said to stop. There’s a difference.”
That sexy laugh of his sent a chill down my back despite the fact that my bath was nearly scalding hot.
“If I start down that path – saying and doing whatever I want when it comes to you – I might not be able to stop,” he warned jokingly.
I stared at the candle flickering beside me and then said something that I knew I shouldn’t say. “Then don’t stop.”
He fell silent.
“I still think about it,” I admitted.
“About what?” It was clear that my previous statement still had him distracted.
“Us. Together.” He knew what I meant without needing to spell it out.
“So do I,” he confessed. “Often.”
“Since we’ve been hanging out?” I asked.
“No…since always.”
Hearing him say that he’d fantasized about our past trysts stroked my tattered ego after the things Jason had said to me earlier.
“Tell me what you miss the most,” I urged.
AJ sighed heavily and then laughed. “About the sex? That’s probably a bad idea.”
“Yes, about the sex. And am I gonna have to ‘boo’ you again?”
Another sigh and then he confessed what he wasn’t able to before. “If I had to pick any one thing that I couldn’t get enough of, I’d say it’s the sounds you made.”
I smiled and felt my body going through changes it hadn’t gone through in forever. Licking my lips at the thought of him touching me, I almost begged him to tell me more.
“What about you? What do you miss?” he asked
There were too many things to name – how sexy he used to make me feel with just a glance, the way he’d own my body while we made love. Oh….and let’s not forget orgasms. I missed that part most of all. My pride wouldn’t let me admit that that hadn’t happened since the last time we’d had sex, so I summed these feelings up by simply stating, “All of it.”
He got quiet again.
“Ok, I’ll leave you alone. You’re trying to be good now and I’m corrupting you,” I said, feeling like I should retreat before things got too far out of hand like he’d warned. “Even though you started it,” I added with a smile.
He laughed a little. “Now who’s punking out?”
“Whatever…”
AJ fell silent when I put the phone on speaker. “What’re you doing now?” he asked, unable to hide the genuine curiosity in his tone.
“Washing, so I can get out and go to bed, Nosy.”
Silence.
“You got quiet on me,” I said teasingly, reaching for my sponge. “You okay over there?”
“Been better,” he replied with a heavy sigh of frustration.
I laughed, imagining him sitting on the other end of the phone, hard as a rock thanks to our suggestive conversation.
He sighed into the phone again. “Is it terrible that I can envision exactly what you look like right now?”
I paused and stared at my phone incredulously. “AJ, you haven’t seen me naked in years, so I highly doubt – “
