“Liar,” he said.
“I have something to show you.”
Suzy tapped on the door. “May I come in?” Suzy asked timidly.
“Sure, Suzy,” I replied quickly and with a snicker.
She opened the door and walked to the foot of my bed. My iPad faced away from her, pointed directly at me. She didn’t know we were video chatting. She started talking about a guy she met through an online dating service. He wanted her to come to his apartment but told her he had no furniture except an air mattress. She wanted my opinion on whether she should meet him or not.
“Absolutely not. Don’t even think about going there. You don’t know him, and I don’t like the idea that he doesn’t even have furniture. He could kill you and be gone, without a trace, in sixty seconds,” I told her.What kind of creep would tell a girl he met online to meet him at his apartment…without any furniture?
“She’s right. Don’t,” Kayden stated firmly.
Suzy looked around the room. “Kayden?” she asked.
I looked down at the iPad and smiled at him. She started laughing.
“I certainly hope it wouldn’t be anyone else,” he said.
She moved around the bed and flopped down next to me. They began talking about the stranger online. She pointed out to us that we were strangers who met online. In a way, she had a point, but we had a commonality. I had placed calls about Kayden and felt safe after my brother said I had his blessing. We both told her that she needed to be careful about who she met and always to make sure it was in public. She was such a trusting and naïve person with a kind heart, always thinking the best of people. She wouldn’t know a bad person or an unsafe situation until it was too late. I had to look out for her and guide her.
Suzy stayed only a few minutes, and Kayden and I started right where we left off before Suzy interrupted.
“What were you going to show me, baby doll?” Kayden asked while he stretched, watching in curiosity.
“Nothing important,” I replied back even though it was a complete and utter lie.
“Can you wait a second? I have to take this call.”
“Sure, go ahead, take your time.”
While waiting for Kayden, I removed my bra and T-shirt. I thought I’d give him a surprise. I could hear muffled speech in the background. I heard his door close, and his footsteps along his bedroom floor before his face appeared. His eyes grew in size, and a smile crept across his face.
“Damn. I fucking love your tits. I want to touch them,” Kayden said, moving closer to his screen.
“They’ve missed your touch, Kayden. They ache for you,” I said as I swept my fingertips across them.
“Sophia, you’re making me crazy,” he said.
“Good, I want you to remember what’s waiting for you. I don’t want you to see any other women or even think of them,” I replied to him, continuing to touch my breasts in full view of him. “Want to see more?”
“I don’t think my heart could take it. I don’t think of any other women. You are the only person in my mind—all day, every day,” Kayden said with a very serious look on his face.
“Enough of this for now—you’ll be touching them soon enough, handsome,” I said as I started to lift my top over my head, covering my breasts. It gave him one last glimpse as I slowly put my shirt back into place.
“You’re driving me crazy. I better book my ticket before my cock explodes,” Kayden muttered, shaking his head with amusement.
Skype made the distance bearable. It helped me deal with his absence, but it made me want to be with him even more.

Ding.
I rolled over to see what Sophia said, but it wasn’t her. It was Lisa. My heart sank. Lisa had become a thorn in my ass. The bitch knew exactly how to fuck with my life. She’d become a master manipulator toward the end of our relationship.
