Her face softened. “You have no idea how much I love you. I can’t wait to be in your arms again. I don’t know if I’ll be strong enough to leave you.”
“I love you too, skön.”
Her head tilted to the side in confusion. “What does that mean?”
“Beautiful.”
An easy smile spread across her face until it reached her deep blue eyes. Alex was always beautiful even if she didn’t believe it, but when she smiled she was gorgeous.
“I love it when you call me that.” She yawned, quickly covering it up with her hand.
“Getting tired?” There was no doubt she was since she’d been drinking for who knew how long.
“A little bit. I shouldn’t have drunk so much. I’m sorry. I guess no phone sex tonight.”
“Nothing to be sorry about. You deserve to let loose. You know, I don’t call you every night for phone sex. We aren’t all about sex.”
Closing her eyes, Alex tilted her head to the side. “Idoknow, but it makes me feel closer to you when I pretend it’s you that’s touching me.” A tear slipped down her cheek as she bit her bottom lip.
“Baby,” I cajoled.
A smile slowly formed on her beautiful face. “Do you remember the first time I tried to give you a blowjob? Oh my God, I’m so sorry for that.”
My hand slipped down into my briefs, I squeezed my cock and let out a moan. “What I wouldn’t give to have your lips wrapped around my cock right now.”
“Your cock is beautiful. If I was there I’d blow you.”
How drunk was she?
“It’s perfect. I miss your cock.”
“He misses you, and so do I.”
“God, I miss you.” A yawn escaped, and she quickly covered it with her hand.
“Before I let you go for the night I got some good news when I left the studio tonight.”
I couldn’t believe that I’d held it in for as long as I had, but I had to tell her before we got off the phone.
“What is it?” she asked hopeful, biting her bottom lip.
“From now on Night Shadows will start filming in June. They weren’t sure if it was doable but understood how important it was for me to be with you as much as possible, plus the circumstances of why you can’t be in LA during the school year.” I watched as a smile slowly spread across her face with each word I spoke. “The bad news is that if they can get next season written by the end of filming season three then they want to start four almost right away. No one will know until close to the end of shooting.”
“Oh my God, Luke!” She jumped up and all I could see was the lower half of her pink tank top. “Really! That’s great news! I mean, I secretly hope they don’t finish writing it in time so you won’t have to film it until next summer, but it doesn’t matter. I have so much more freedom in the summer. It will be a lot of traveling for when Mason has to see his dad, but it will be worth it. I can’t believe they agreed!” I watched as she jumped up and down a few times. “I can’t tell you how happy I am.” She sat back down with her hand over her heart.
She didn’t have to because the way her face brightened, the happy tears in her eyes, and the perm-a-smile on her face told me all I needed to know. Along with all her jumping. It was as if I’d given her the moon and stars and all I’d done was given her more of myself.
Lifting her hand, Alex trailed her finger over her screen as she continued to smile.
“What are you doing?”
“Touching you. I don’t know if I can wait a week to wrap myself around you.”
A week would seem like a year until I had her in my arms, but in the end all of this would be worth it. “I promise it will pass in no time. The second I get you alone I’m going to taste every inch of you.”
“I like the sound of that.” Her face flushed with want.
“It’s a date.” I promised.
