Braden: I’m not telling.
Poppy: God, you’re annoying.
Braden: LOL, you’re just too easy. I’m on 25. Not too bad. What do you think of the book?
Poppy: So far, so good. You?
Braden: I’m digging it.
Poppy: Can we go back to reading now?
Braden: Already am. I’m multitasking.
Poppy: You drive me nuts.
Poppy: Pause, I need more coffee. I’m on page 29
Braden: Page 31, tell me when you catch up.
Poppy: Ready.
Braden: Let’s go.
Braden: I’m hungry. Should we break for lunch?
Poppy: Sure.
Braden: What do you feel like? It’s my treat.
Poppy: That’s okay, I’ve got it.
I end up losing the battle, and Braden orders Uber Eats. He’s sooo stubborn. He said it was the least he could do for commandeering my Sunday. We eat, chat, and then read some more until late in the afternoon, when we finally come to the first full-blown sex scene. There was plenty of sexual buildup before that, but this is intense.
Naturally, I’m aroused, but knowing Braden is reading the same thing has me more worked up than usual. Curiosity plagues my mind whether he’s thinking about me. He hasn’tchimed in during the previous parts leading up to this, but I wonder if he will now. I’m struggling to focus on the words as the anticipation builds.
My heart is hammering, and the familiar clench of my core increases as I picture the scene. I’m so tightly wound that I jump at the ping from my phone.
Braden: What page are you on?
Poppy: 143
Braden: How are you feeling, Mouse? Needy?
Poppy: I’m fine.
Braden: I’m not. I’m sitting here remembering how it felt to have your tight pussy wrapped around my cock.
Oh God. What do I say to that? I know where he’s going with this, and I don’t think I have the willpower to stop it. Mainly, because I’d really like it to happen.
Braden: What do you usually do during these scenes?
Poppy: Nothing.
Braden: Liar. Home alone, reading in bed, hot and horny, and you’re telling me you wouldn’t be sliding your hand inside your panties to relieve the ache between your legs?
Poppy: That’s none of your business.
Braden: Read another page, and then I’m making it my business.
