Page 43 of Galen's Redemption
Oh?
Robert lay down on the bed.What are you wearing?
What?
It was a simple question. What do you haveon?
The same clothes I was wearing when I saw you an hour ago.
Good. Take them off.
?????
You heard me. Take off your clothes.
Why?
Because I’m going to video call you, and I want you naked when I do.
But…. You said nothing casual.
I know, and you don’t have to if you would rather not. It’s just… I want to see you. With or without clothes, I just want to see your face.
When Galen didn’treply, Robert thought he might have pressed too hard, but then his phone rang. He answered, smiling when Galen’s face came into focus.
“Hi.”
“Hi, yourself. I’m glad you called.”
When Galen bit his lip, it was one of the most adorable things Robert had ever seen.
“Are you sure about this?”
“Only if you are. Like I said, I want you to be comfortable with this. And for your information, I’venever done anything like this either.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It’s just… I like you, Galen.”
He wrinkled his nose. “Why?”
“You’re funny, smart, sweet, sexy. Should I go on?”
“But….”
“No. We’re not talking about that check anymore. That’s in the past, and I told you, I don’t blame you in the least for what happened. Now, calm down and talk to me.”
Galen set the phone down and stepped back.Holyshit!He had taken his clothes off, and for the first time, Robert could see the pale skin, the wisps of light hair on Galen’s chest and stomach. If he stepped back just a bit more….
“Is this what you wanted to see?”
Oh, he sounded so uncertain. “Most of it. Still, it’s sexy as hell.”
Galen’s breaths were coming faster, and his skin had taken on a flush. “I… I can’t do this.” He lurched forwardand grabbed his phone, then disconnected the call.
“Damn. Damn, damn, damn.”
Robert went to reconnect the video call, then thought better. If he’d upset Galen that badly, maybe a voice call would be better. He dialed, praying that Galen would pick up. When he did, Robert breathed a sigh of relief.
