Tyler yawned as the closing credits ran across the screen. “I might have an early night. I’ll check on Katey and head to bed.”
“Goodnight, son,” Eric said.
“Night, Tyler.”
Tyler wandered from the room while his brain demanded he break into a sprint. He had a bout of phone sex coming up. No time to waste.
Susan jumped when her phone buzzed. She checked the screen. Tyler. About time.
“I might have an early night,” she said, her gaze going to Nolan, then Jasmine and Lucy. “It’s been a long day.” Even longer since her clever idea to make a date for phone sex. Never had a show seemed so lengthy.
A chorus of half-hearted goodnights came from the girls.
Nolan smiled. “See you in the morning. Thanks again for cooking dinner.”
“No problem.” Without her normal busy routine, the days were dragging, despite the new situation and the number of new people she found popping into her schedule.
Before she could reply to Tyler’s text, her phone rang.
“Hello, Susan. It’s Josie. I’m ringing to ask about our date.”
Susan listened while Josie ran through her list of requirements and the date of Katey’s birthday. “I’d love to help. Let me run it past Nolan and the cameraman first. Jennifer, our producer, has given them a strict schedule to keep in order to complete the show by deadline. I think that should be all right, but I’ll double check tomorrow and confirm with you after I’ve spoken to them.”
Once she’d finished the call, she sent a quick text to Tyler telling him to get naked and wait for her call.
In her bedroom, she closed the door, then turned the lock to prevent anyone from entering without permission.
She stripped and placed her clothes over the top of a straight-backed chair, the only other piece of furniture in her tiny bedroom. The last thing she did before she climbed into bed was apply some perfume, dabbing it on her pulse points. Breathless, she wiped damp palms on the green cotton duvet and reached for her phone.
“Susan. What took you so long?”
“Josie rang to organize our date. I’m coming to Katey’s birthday party, as long as I can get time off from the show.”
“I look forward to seeing you in my territory.” His husky voice slipped across her senses like the smoothest whisky slid down a throat.
“I wish…” She swallowed and started again. “I wish I was there now.”
“How would you feel about dinner and a movie for our date? We can have dinner at the pub and go to the drive-in movie on McDierment’s farm. How does that sound?”
“That sounds great,” Susan said. He hadn’t returned her sentiment and she found her confidence taking a dive. “I’m switching to speaker phone.”
“Already done. I’d like it if we could share a bed every night.”
“Me too.” Except she didn’t see how that would ever happen with her in Auckland and Tyler in Clare with his daughter.
“What are you wearing?”
“Nothing except perfume.”
“Describe the scent for me.”
“It’s spicy like cinnamon with a touch of citrus. Lime, I think. It reminds me of a Christmas cake. I put some behind my ears and on the crook of my elbow. And just a dab between my breasts.”
“Nice,” he said. “I’m not wearing anything either and all my blood is jammed in my cock.”
She laughed, picturing him with the blunt end of his cock red and swollen, his eyes glittering with need while his taut muscles strained beneath her fingertips.
“Did you bring your vibrator with you?”
