“Well, you had to go to work as well.”

“Yeah, but I would have skipped for you.” He adjusted the camera, and I was looking at his face closely. “Did you have a good day?”

“Yeah, it was fine. Long and boring, but fine. Liv and I had dinner.”

“Oh? What did you have?”

“Fried chicken.” I laughed as he made a face.

“You girls love fried chicken.”

“Do you have a problem with that?”

“Not at all.” He grinned. “So I’m assuming you told Liv about Elizabeth and the BDSM stuff?”

“Yup, she was in shock, and she’s going to get Xander back.”

“He’s expecting it.” He laughed. “And, I’m sure, looking forward to it.”

“You guys are so devious.”

“Hey, Pot, it’s Kettle calling.”

“Funny, not.” I rolled my eyes and lay back. I was happy that the conversation had gone to everyday stuff and wasn’t just focusing on sex. “So what about you? Did you have a good day?”

“Pretty good. I met Elizabeth for lunch.”

“Oh?” My stomach churned with jealousy.

“Yeah, I needed to give her her final payment.”

“Oh, okay.” I paused. “So hey, do you know if she knew Scott before all this?”

“Scott my brother?” He looked confused.

“Yes, Scott your brother.”

“No, why?”

“No reason.” I shook my head. I knew that Aiden wouldn’t want me to get involved, so I didn’t say anything else to him. “So what else did you do today?”

“Aside from thinking about you?”

“Yeah.” I nodded.

“Not much. Counted down the hours until I could call you tonight.”

“Aww.” I smiled into the phone and then blurted out, “What are we?”

“What do you mean?” He frowned.

“Are we officially dating?”

“Is that what you want?” he asked and the camera slipped so I couldn’t see his face.

“I want what you want.”

“Why don’t we talk about it later?” he said in a soft voice. “Right now, my mind is focused on one thing.”
