“I was kidding. It’s okay. It’s just a lot of history to compete with.”
“There’s no competition. And kidding or not, I want to make somethingveryclear. I thought I’d always love Camilla. Our relationship ended before I was ready for it to end, and we have children together. I see her in Paige’s eyes almost every single day. I also thought I was done with love and relationships after her. I was wrong. On both counts. I will always care about Camilla as the mother of my children, but that love faded the second I developed feelings for you.”
Keeley gasps and I curse internally. We should be having this conversation in person.
“I hate that you’re so far away, Keeley. And that alone is proof that my feelings for you are real. My business is in an actual crisis, and I’m thinking aboutyou. Actually, not just thinking about you—seriously contemplating forcing you to come here.”
“Forcing me?”
“Yes. Would it work?”
“I’m not sure. But you have my interest piqued. What would forcing me sound like? I bet it’s hot.”
“Keel-ley,” I warn. “That’s not helping.”
“You started it.”
“I know. Sorry. I’m being selfish. I want you here because I want to talk, and for the first time in my life, I actually want to be distracted from work. But that’s not exactly fair.”
“We can talk now. Although, something tells me you’re the kind of guy that wants to do that in person.”
I almost laugh. My thoughts exactly. “I am. But only because I want to make sure we’re both honest and open with one another. It’s easier to pretend over the phone.”
“I agree. So let me help with the distraction then. That I can definitely do over the phone.”
“Oh, yeah?” I chuckle to myself. “I’d like that. So, tell me, how was your day?”
Keeley laughs out loud, and it’s a good thirty seconds before she stops. “Mr. D’Angelo. Sir. Please tell me you didnotthink I meant I was going to distract you with boring talk about my day?”
Fuck, when she calls me Sir, I want to throw her over my knees. She knows exactly what she’s doing. “How are you going to distract me then?”
“Phone sex.”
“What?” I choke on the word as my cock instantly hardens. How did I not see that coming? Oh, that’s right, I haven’t had sex in years. “Ahh…” I scratch my neck as I try not to picture Keeley naked. Though, naked or not, I want her here. Now.
“Ahh, what?”
“How about I arrange for Jeffrey to pick you up? You could be here by early morning. You won’t even miss work. You can call into your meetings from my office tomorrow.”
Keeley giggles softly, and the sounds don’t help my cause as my cock twitches. “That’s too long. It’s too late for that.”
“Too late?”
“The idea’s already in my head. It’s happening.”
Fuuck. “Okay.”
“Okay?”
Jesus. I don’t even know what I’m saying.
“Have you ever had phone sex before?”
“I can’t say I have.” I suck in a breath as I laugh. Not only have I not had it, I’ve never even thought about it.
“Why not?” Keeley asks, her voice inquisitive while seemingly free of judgment.
“I don’t know. I guess it just never came up.”
