“Are you trying to say Android?”
“I said what I said. Wait, what question were we on?”
“I lost track. Besides…” his voice took on that velvety quality that had me shivering the first night we met. “I’d like to ask you a few questions.”
“All right, fair is fair. Ask away.”
“What do you like in bed?”
I dropped my phone in my lap and hastily collected it back. “Excuse me?”
“I know you’re not a blushing virgin—”
“Obviously.”
“—so it’s a valid question. But if you don’t want to answer, I’ll ask something else.”
“No, no, it’s fine.”
It’s a bit too late to be a prude, Megan.
“I like… well, I like a lot of things.”
“I’m here to listen,” he said and we both laughed.
“Hmm. Well, I like it when a guy goes down on me without being asked—a real plus mark for you, by the way—and I like it… well…”
“I’m listening.”
I felt a shiver run down my spine.
“I like it when a guy just…takes chargein bed, you know?” I swallowed hard. “You know.”
“I see. Good thing for me is that I like being in charge.”
I sat cross-legged on the sofa, and started rocking against my heel, rubbing it against my crotch.
“Well, then,” I said anxiously, yet hopefully. “At least we understand each other.”
“At least we do,” he said in a breathy voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll see you at five.”
“See you.”
The call ended, and I laid back on the sofa and stretched out.
You, Megan, are luckier than you deserve.
Chapter Eight
Mason
I didn’t have the time to change between the office and picking up Megan. I hoped that I wouldn’t be overdressed when we went to the theater. I did doff my tie and unbutton my silk shirt a few buttons, but I kept the blazer. I looked good in that blazer.
I had my driver pick me up from the office in a white limo with minimum stretch. It was a matter of practicality, as Megan lived on a very narrow, one-way street.
Serendipitously enough, I bumped into a man on the street outside her place selling flowers. I bought a bouquet of colorful peonies and took the stairs up to her floor.
I rapped on the door and waited. I noticed my palms were sweaty, so I wiped them dry. The door opened and Megan stood there, a vision from a daydream if ever there were one.
