The line clicked and before I could say anything, his voice came through.
“Hey baby. What you and my baby doin’?”
My mouth curved without me even tryin’. Just hearin’ him saybabymade somethin’ in me warm up.
I stepped the rest of the way into the tub and slid down until the bubbles touched my shoulders. “We alive,” I said, smilin’ even though my chest felt tight. “But I can’t feel no kicks or nothin’. I ain’t even showin’ yet for real. The baby still the size of a damn pea, ‘Lo.”
He hummed into the phone like he ain’t care about reality. “That’s my baby in there. Fully whole and perfect already. I’on wanna hear ‘bout no damn pea.”
Sometimes Kay’Lo said shit that made me want to cry and laugh at the same time. He had this blind confidence about our child, like the baby was already sittin’ on his chest takin’ naps.
I closed my eyes while the warmth hugged my body and let him have his moment, ‘cause I knew it helped him feel close to us.
“What you doin’ right now baby?” he asked, his voice real low, the way it got when he wanted somethin’.
I let out a soft breath. “I’m in the tub.”
There was a sound on the other end of the phone that made my thighs press together without me thinkin’. It was a moan mixed with a grunt, like he felt the words all the way down his spine.
I accidentally bit my lip, and my eyebrows pulled together ‘cause the sound went through me like a small shock.
“Damn…” he murmured, draggin’ the word out just enough to make my body react. “So that pussy open for me right now?”
“Kay’Lo…” I whispered his name more like a warnin’ than an answer, but I knew Kay’Lo and he ain’t give a damn.
“Baby, answer me.”
“Yes.”
He let out this deep hum that was heavy with want, like the thought of me alone was draggin’ somethin’ out of him. There was this sound in his voice that told me he wasn’t just horny… he was hurtin’ for me.
“I miss you so much, baby. I miss ya pussy like crazy. You don’t even know.”
I sank further into the water, my body relaxin’ and gettin’ tense all at once. “Kay’Lo, we can’t be talkin’ like this on a jail phone.”
“Baby, I don’t give a fuck where I’m at. You my wife. That pussy mine. If I wanna hear you play with it, I’m gon’ hear you play with it.” His voice dropped even lower. “Now do what I said.”
My heart was beatin’ a lil’ faster, and all I could think about was how he used to touch me whenever I got out the tub. One time, he pulled me right out just to lay me across the sink and eat my pussy like he was starvin’. He ain’t even let the water finish drippin’ off me before he dragged his tongue up my thighs and sucked every drop off like he was drinkin’ my body. He put my legs on his shoulders and held me wide open with one hand while his mouth stayed buried in me, lickin’ and slurpin’ and drivin’ me the fuck crazy.
“Kay’Lo…”
“Toni,” he said slow, “stop actin’ scared and touch my pussy.”
My breath left in a shaky wave, and the water felt hotter than before.
I slipped my hand between my legs and felt how warm and swollen my clit already was just from hearin’ him talk.
“You doin’ it baby?”
“Yes.”
“Good… now rub that clit for me. Do it how I like it… not how you think. I want you open just like you be when I’m kneelin’ in front of you, beggin’ you to give me that pussy. Make that shit jump for me, baby. I wanna hear how wet you get when you do it the way I taught you.”
I dragged my fingers across it and a soft sound came out my mouth before I could stop it.
“That’s it, mama,” he whispered. “You sound so fuckin’ pretty right now.”
I let my head fall back against the edge of the tub, while my eyes shut as I circled my clit under the water.
