You tease.

Me: Feeling naughty?

Raeann: Feeling on edge, actually.

Me: I told you that you could have whatever you wanted.

Raeann: Maybe I feel like there’s a price when it comes to what you’re willing to give.

My brows knit when I stare at her response, trying to decipher what it means. She can’t mean that I’ll hurt her. She’s scared still. I’ll have to keep reminding her of what I can offer.

Me: Just know you can buy whatever you want, but nothing will ever feel as good as me.

Within a couple of moments, I receive a picture of what she bought. Laid out on a counter is an impressive dildo, but alongside it is a vibrator, some lube, and… Another notification for the credit card being used. This time, it’s $500 from Victoria’s Secret.

Me: Buy more.

Raeann: Excuse me?

Me: I don’t know what you bought from VS, but buy more.

My stomach flip-flops. The fact that she even used the card makes me giddy.

She sends me another picture. This one from inside the Victoria’s Secret dressing room, posing with a lace bra and thong. Red, just like I said would look amazing on her.

When the hell did she do this? I couldn’t check on her pre-flight because I was caught up with team stuff. I’ll have to message the app developer to see if I can get notifications every time she moves.

Me: Fucking beautiful.

I’m also relieved I had the foresight to make her phone as secure as possible that night. It’s impenetrable now from outside attacks. No one gets to see what’s mine but me. In fact, I’m jealous of the walls in that dressing room and the mirror that reflects her image back to her.

Unfortunately, another transaction never comes through. This foreplay—or whatever it is—just stops. I track her on the map as the rideshare takes her closer and closer to 7th and Union Street—Pet Threads and her apartment.

Me: Spending a self-care night by yourself?

Raeann: Who said I was by myself?

Me: Don’t test me.

I can picture her smiling at her phone, waiting for the moment she gets home so she can get sexy and try out her toys.

I knew I should’ve put a camera in her room.

Me: You should stay at my place.

Raeann: What? Why?

Me: It’s safe. You’ll be alone. You can be as loud as you want.

Raeann: You got a point.

Me: I’ll give you the security code for the gate and the passcode for the door.

Goose bumps spread through me, and my cock presses painfully against its confines. Just thinking about being able to watch instead of listen drives me crazy.

Raeann: I think Tab is actually going out tonight, so I’ll be okay. Tempted by the pool, though.

Me: You know you can use it whenever you want.
