I expect him to say no and maybe even be mad I suggested it, so when his response comes quickly, I hesitate for a moment before reading it.
Gage:I'd love to meet her.Just tell me when and where.
I sit there stunned for a moment, then I grin and tuck the phone in my bag.The butterflies in my stomach are equal parts excitement and terror.
My apartment is quiet when I walk in.Still.Empty.I drop my keys in the bowl by the door and head straight for the shower.The heat soothes the tension in my shoulders, and I take my time, letting the anticipation of tonight build.
Once I'm dried and moisturized, I slip into a soft lace tank and matching panties.It's one of my favorite sets, but I doubt I'll be wearing it for long.
My laptop waits on the coffee table, webcam ready.I settle onto the couch and pull a blanket over my legs, heart thudding as I log in.
The screen lights up, and then he's there, filling the frame.Shirtless.Smirking.
"There you are, sweetheart."
His voice wraps around me like silk, the nickname new.I don't find I hate it, which is weird because with other Doms I couldn't stand any nicknames.
"Hey," I whisper.
"Long day?"
I nod."Lots of wedding planning and mother interrogations."
He chuckles, rubbing a hand over his jaw."She wants to meet me."
"You don't have to say yes."
"In all fairness, this is new territory for me."
"Me too.My mom...is sick, cancer.She is in treatment, but she worries about me and if I'll be okay if the treatments don't work," I say, stopping when emotion clogs my voice.
"I get it.If meeting her will make her happy and cause you less stress, I'm more than happy to do it," he says.
Something warm and soft blooms in my chest.
"I wish you were here," I admit, needing to change the subject.
"Soon," he promises."But for now, let's make do."
He shifts, the camera catching the cut of his abs, the way his hand trails down his chest.My thighs clench instinctively.
"Take off the blanket," he says.
I comply.
"Show me more."
My tank is loose, and I let one strap fall, then the other.My breasts are bare beneath, and I see the way his eyes darken.
"Good girl.Are you wet for me already?"
I nod.
"Show me."
I slide my hand down, slipping fingers into the waistband of my panties.They're soaked.
"I've been thinking about you all day," I whisper."Wondering what you'd do if you were here."
