Mistakes Were Made

“You’ve been asleep for about half an hour.”

“What?” Cassie said. “You just let me sleep?”

“You looked peaceful,” Erin said with a shrug. “And your snoring was quiet so it didn’t interrupt my movie watching.”

“I do not snore.”

Erin laughed. “Whether you do or not,” she said, “I think you’ll be a lot more comfortable if you sleep in your bed instead of on the couch.”

Cassie rubbed the sleep and blush from her face. “You’re probably right,” she said. “Thanks.”

“Thank you,” Erin said, “again. For the flowers.”

Cassie’s blush came right back. She was tired and couldn’t control her reactions, apparently.

“I’m glad you liked them,” she said. “I gotta get ready for bed.”

“Me too.”

“Good night.”

“Good night, Cassie.”

Her computer froze on Erin’s soft smile for a moment before the call fully disconnected. Cassie kind of wanted to stab herself. Erin’s smile was beautiful and Cassie wanted to kiss the shit out of her.

She tossed her laptop and phone onto her bed and went to brush her teeth. She kept the water as cold as she could stand to wash her face.

In bed, she stared at the ceiling. She felt weird, all over, and didn’t know why. She felt like she got caught doing something she shouldn’t, which was stupid, because she neither got caught nor was doing anything that hurt anyone. She felt antsy.

Cassie [11:03 PM]

I also kind of sent the flowers to woo you

Erin [11:04 PM]

To woo me? Cassie, we’ve already slept together

Cassie [11:05 PM]

Yeah but … I know we had rules but I want to do it again. So staying on your good side seems like a good idea

Erin [11:05 PM]

You’re doing a good job then

Erin [11:06 PM]

What would you have done if we were in the same city?

Cassie went for broke.

Cassie [11:06 PM]

Hand delivered them and fucked you in an on call room

Cassie [11:07 PM]

Or is that something that only happens in greys anatomy?

Cassie’s heart beat probably two hundred times before Erin responded.

Erin [11:08 PM]

It is … not something that only happens in Grey’s Anatomy.

Cassie [11:09 PM]

No? Has cardiology intern Ian been giving you the eye and nodding toward the on call room?

Erin [11:09 PM]

Cardiology intern Ian can keep his hands to himself

Erin [11:10 PM]

You on the other hand …

Cassie grinned. She wouldn’t have pegged Erin for a sexter, but the thought was thrilling. She noticed the time, closed her eyes, and made a wish that this ended well. Resting one hand on her stomach, over the tank top, she texted back with the other.

Cassie [11:11 PM]

Would we have to be quick? So no one catches on?

Erin [11:12 PM]

And so I don’t get called away for a patient

Cassie [11:12 PM]

I’d push you against the door as soon as you had it locked

Erin [11:13 PM]

God, Cassie, are we really doing this?

Cassie [11:14 PM]

Do you not want to?

Erin [11:15 PM]

I do. I’ve just never done this before

Cassie [11:15 PM]

You mean had sex in the on call room?;)

Erin [11:16 PM]

That too

Cassie [11:16 PM]

Wait, seriously?

Erin [11:17 PM]

Seriously

Cassie [11:17 PM]

In that case, I would definitely have you against the door as soon as you locked it

Cassie [11:18 PM]

I wouldn’t want to stop kissing you, but if we have to be quick …

Erin [11:19 PM]

Like you could keep your hands off my chest, or your mouth if you had the chance

Okay, Cassie’s hand definitely slid into her pajama bottoms. She didn’t touch herself, yet. Just got ready.

Cassie [11:20 PM]

It’s not my fault you’ve got great tits

Cassie [11:20 PM]

I’d get my mouth on them for sure

Cassie [11:20 PM]

Probably wouldn’t even have moved away from the door before I had your shirt and bra off

Erin [11:21 PM]

I’ve been thinking of this all day, Cassie. Feels so good

Cassie wasn’t sure if Erin meant she’d be thinking about this in the scenario or if she literally meant all of today. Maybe ever since she got those flowers. Maybe she’d FaceTimed Cassie thinking about this, imagining this might come of it.

Cassie ran a finger along her slit and it came back wet.

Cassie [11:23 PM]

Erin I gotta get you into a bed

Erin [11:24 PM]

The bed in there’s a twin, you’re gonna have to be on top of me

Cassie [11:24 PM]

That’s not a problem

Cassie [11:25 PM]

I want your pants off, too

Erin [11:25 PM]

That’s not fair. You have too many clothes on

Cassie pushed her pants down over her hips, kicked them off.

Cassie [11:26 PM]

There. My pants are gone

Erin [11:26 PM]

Shirt too, Cassie, I want to see you

Cassie [11:26 PM]

Fuck

She pulled her shirt over her head.

Cassie [11:27 PM]

Okay. Shirt’s gone too

She hoped Erin knew she meant it. She hoped Erin knew she had Cassie naked and touching herself. She hoped Erin was doing the same thing.

Cassie [11:27 PM]

Are you wet for me?

Erin [11:28 PM]

Touch me and find out

Cassie [11:28 PM]

I mean now Erin. Are you wet for me right now?

Erin [11:29 PM]

Yes Cassie. Fuck

Cassie’s head spun. Her fingers swam around her clit, her flesh hot and slick. The thought of Erin doing the same—she didn’t want to bother with the on call room; thinking about Erin touching herself was enough.

Cassie [11:31 PM]

I wish I could feel for myself Erin

Cassie [11:31 PM]

I want to touch you

Cassie [11:32 PM]

I want to taste you

Cassie [11:33 PM]

Could I go down on you there? Or would you need my hand over your mouth to keep you quiet?

Erin [11:34 PM]

I want your fingers inside me

Jesus fuck. Cassie slid two fingers into herself, wished they were Erin’s. She rolled her hips.

Erin [11:37 PM]

Cassie please

Cassie [11:37 PM]

Yes Erin God. I want to touch you. I want to fuck you

Erin [11:38 PM]

I’m close

Shit. Cassie pulled her fingers out so she could focus. She brushed them against her clit as she texted.

Cassie [11:38 PM]

I want to hear you come

Erin [11:38 PM]

I told you we had to be quiet

Cassie [11:39 PM]

I’m serious Erin. Call me. Right now.

Erin [11:39 PM]

Cassie

Fuck it.

Cassie called her.

Erin picked up with no more than her breathing, hard and fast.

“Erin,” Cassie said.

Erin let out a huff of breath, like she couldn’t even make words.

“Erin, fuck, you’re so hot.” Cassie’s fingers moved fast over her clit. “I wish I was there. God, I wish I was inside you. Your cunt feels so good.”

Erin whined.

“Erin, please,” Cassie said, wishing she had FaceTimed her instead, wishing she could watch this. “Please, baby, come for me, let me hear you.”

Erin did.

She’d never been particularly loud, when they’d fucked before, and she wasn’t now. Her breath stuttered and Cassie must’ve been on speaker, she could hear Erin’s legs thrashing in her sheets.

Erin choked out, “Oh my God,” and she was still coming, this long quiet moan.
