We arrive back to the apartment after work, and I reluctantly help him pack his things for his business trip. “What am I going to do without you for a whole week?” I groan.
He chuckles. “I’m sure you’ll find comfort in the arms of Mr. Snuggles.” He winks.
I nod and laugh at his joke. “But our bed doesn’t feel the same without you in it. I just got you back, and now I have to sleep without you again?” That sounded needier than I intended.
He looks at me and stops packing, then walks over, taking my hands in his, and his bright blue eyes stare into mine. “Jeni, if I could have my way, you’d be coming with me, but you know what Father is like. As for just getting me back, you never lost me. I was always with you. I was always thinking about you. And trust me when I say, I won’t be spending a second longer than I have to, away from you.” He smiles, then kisses my forehead. “We can FaceTime and text, and I’ll be talking to you every chance I get while I’m away,” he tries to reassure me.
“I suppose I can survive seven days.” I pout out my bottom lip, and he laughs.
“There you go… we got this.”
I chuckle. “Yeah, we do.”
After a quick dinner, we head out with Mike to the airport. I hold on tightly to Aiden’s hand the entire drive there and then inside the airport. My heart leaps into my throat as he starts toward the security checkpoint.
He’s only going for a week.
Why am I so worked up about this?
Mike puts out his hand, and they shake. “Have a safe flight, sir.” Mike walks off to give us some privacy.
“I’ll be back before you know it.” He leans in and gently kisses my lips, and I exhale. “I’ll see you soon,” he assures me, then leans in for a passionate goodbye kiss.
“Be safe,” I tell him.
Aiden’s fingers slowly pull away from mine, and he walks through the security checkpoint bound for Tokyo. My chest squeezes watching him leave. It wasn’t long ago I had to watch him walk away from me for an entirely different reason, but this time, I know he’s coming back.
Mike strides over and wraps his arm around my shoulders. Aiden turns back to look at me one last time and blows me a kiss, mouthing, ‘I love you,’ before he disappears out of sight.
My thoughts are running rampant, so I reason with them.
He’s not leaving me.
He’ll be back.
You trust him, Jeni.
My mind battles with these thoughts all the way back to our empty apartment.
Mike swipes his card for the elevator, and I walk as the memories of being alone flood back. Our bright and full-of-love apartment suddenly feels dark and somber again.
I won’t go back to broken Jeni, I just can’t.
I wake to my phone ringing and sit up straight while I fumble around my bedside table for my cell. It’s a FaceTime call.
“Hello.”
“Morning, beautiful,” Aiden chimes in his deep, sexy voice, and instantly I’m awake.
I look at his face on the screen of my cell and smile. “Hey, what time is it?”
“It’s just past midnight here, so that means it’s about eight in the morning there. You sound like you’re still half asleep.”
“Wait? What?” I look at the bedside clock, and sure enough, it’s eight o’clock, and I have slept through my alarm. “For fuck’s sake!” I grunt, leaping out of bed.
I hear him laughing while I run around the bedroom grabbing clothes.
“Baby, calm down. It’s Saturday. You don’t have to go into work.”
“Oh… shit… dammit, I think I’m still asleep.”
Aiden chuckles while I sit back down on our bed and pick up the phone. “So, how was your flight?”
“Bumpy. The airline wasn’t great either. I won’t be using them again.”
“I miss you.” He looks gorgeous even on a cell phone screen.
“I miss you, too. I got you a present.” A cheeky smirk appears on his face while a thrill of excitement sparks in me.
“Oh. What did you get me?” I ask as I look closer at my screen. I hear him chuckle again—he’s up to no good. “Aiden O’Connell, what are you hiding?”
He winks. “I thought you would never ask.” He quickly moves the phone, and the picture blurs.
“What are you doing?” The picture comes back into focus, and I burst out laughing as my present comes into view.
“Did you seriously wrap a red ribbon around your dick and just present it to me over FaceTime?”
The phone moves again, and I hear him laugh. It focuses back on his face which has broken out in a ridiculous grin. “Do you like it?”
“I love it. I wish I was there, so I could take full advantage of it.”
“I have an idea.”
“I’m listening.” I look at him, raising an eyebrow.
“Well, I’m obviously aroused. So, why don’t we solve that problem?”
“Mm-hmm… and how can I help solve your problem?” I gently flick the strap of my negligee off my shoulder.
His bright blue eyes sparkle. “By doing exactly what you’re doing.”
Shifting the phone so he can see the other strap fall, my negligee drops below my bust, revealing my breasts. He exhales as he watches me attentively. I maneuver out of my negligee and sit in just my panties. Aiden’s phone is placed down, so I can still see him while he lifts his shirt off over his head, revealing his masculine chest.
I can’t believe I’m actually going to do this with him over the phone.
“God, I’m so hard for you.” He sits on the bed now naked.
“What do you want to touch?” I ask seductively.
He smirks, and I can see his chest heaving from his heavy breathing. “I want to massage your gorgeous tits.”
Holding the phone with one hand, I move my other to my breast and massage it slowly, just how he does it. I’m surprised by how good it feels and how utterly turned on I am at the moment.
“Fuck, Jeni, you’re so goddamn sexy.”
I giggle. “Aiden, you feel so good.” I watch him watching me.
“Jesus! Jeni, I could come right now.”
“I want to touch you. I want to feel you in my hands.”
Aiden’s eyes light up, and I smirk. I still can’t believe I’m doing this. I watch while he takes himself in his hand and gently pulls.
“Jeni,” he whispers, his eyes closing.
“Keep your eyes open. I want to see you,” I demand.
Aiden opens his eyes. “I want to touch you.”
I continue to massage my breast. “Where?”
“Move your finger to your clit and slowly massage.”
Moving my hand between my legs, I slowly and ever so lightly massage my clit through my panties. I keep my focus on Aiden and give him a knowing smirk. I know this isn’t what he wanted.
“Jeni! Take off those panties. Now!” he growls out in frustration.
Fuck! This has me so turned on!
Keeping my eyes locked on his, I slowly slip my panties off and move my hand back over my clit. With a delicate finger, I work in circles, finding a rhythm.
In response to my movements, Aiden moves the camera so I can see him pleasuring himself. He lets out a low moan, causing my breath to hitch.
God, he makes me feel like he’s in the room with me. It’s so intense, such a turn on. Something I didn’t expect.
My breathing rushes, the excitement builds, yet I’m still a little nervous. I’m no longer able to hold back, increasing the pressure to my clit while keeping the cell aimed at my face as I watch him watching me. The sparks of pleasure hit as I touch myself. “God, Aiden,” I say through a quick inhale through my parted lips.
“I know. I’m right there with you. Can you feel me, baby?” he asks seductively.
“Yes. Can you feel me touching you?” I ask in a rough whisper.
“Yes, you feel incredible.” His pace quickens.
Without instruction, I move faster.
/> Through the phone, his breath is heavy and loud. “Jeni. Fuck!”
“Ai… den,” I stutter out his name through the heat unfolding within me. My body tightens as I continue to move on my clit while watching him stroke his shaft up and down.
“God, I’m close. Are you with me?” he murmurs.
Moaning, I nod, my voice leaving me for a second as my body starts to tremble. “I can feel you,” I murmur. Then a vast wave of heat engulfs my body, taking me over the edge. Tingles flicker all over my skin as the pressure builds inside of me while my muscles clench, needing their release. My eyes squeeze shut as flashes of light dance behind them. The pleasure washes over me so hard I gasp out. My muscles tighten and then relax as the explosion hits me like a tsunami, rolling over me at the same time I hear Aiden groaning. My body reaches its climax, and I fall from my self-induced high. I lay here panting, my eyes closed from exhaustion.
“Jeni, I’m going to come,” he murmurs out in a satisfied groan as I lay in a blissful silence.
“Baby, you still there?”
I realize I’m holding the phone to my chest, breathing heavily, so I pick it up and look at his satisfied face.
“I can’t believe you did that with me,” he murmurs breathlessly.
“Me either, but it was sooo good. Can you come home now and do me properly?”
“I will definitely do you properly many times when I get home. All night long as a matter of fact.”
“Well, that present you gave me, I certainly wasn’t expecting.” I giggle as my breathing finally slows back to normal.
“Fuck, that was hot. I need to go away more often.”
“Oh, fuck no, no you don’t.”
Aiden chuckles as we stay talking on the phone for what seems like hours until he becomes too tired and falls asleep. I don’t disconnect the call, though.
I enjoy the comforting sounds of him sleeping.
Aiden’s been busy working in Tokyo for the last week while I spend time around the apartment aimlessly searching for something to do. With Aiden away on business, there wasn’t any need for me to go into the office, so I had a week off and took advantage of some home time. My weekends are usually filled with making love and spending every second of the day with Aiden, so it feels weird not having him here. I pour myself a glass of wine and sit out on the balcony watching the sunset. I take my phone with me in case Aiden calls and just like that, suddenly, my phone rings, and I grin as I haven’t heard from him all day, so I answer the phone, “Hey, what are you wearing?”
Sarah laughs. “Hey, Jeni. I love you, and we’re best friends and all, but I think that’s crossing the friendship line when you ask your best friend what she’s wearing in that seductive voice.”
“Sorry, Sez, thought you were Aiden.” Fuck. How embarrassing.
“Yeah, figured as much. So, you’re completely free on a Saturday night. I’m coming ‘round, and we’re going out, and I’m not taking no for an answer.”
Damn! I can’t be bothered going out. I’d rather sit here, drink my wine, and wait for Aiden’s call, but I know what Sarah is like. She’ll drag me by my hair if she has to. “Come on over, but I’m not having a big night, just a couple of drinks with my bestie.”
“Okay, Grandma, get ready. I’ll see you in an hour.” She ends the call before I can answer.
I make my way to the bedroom to find appropriate clothes, and then about an hour later, my phone rings, and I make my way down to the parking garage.
Sarah and Chris are waiting for me, looking completely glamorous. “You guys look great.”
“So do you. Now, let’s go!” Sarah reaches into the elevator and pulls me by my arm, dragging me along with her. I giggle as she almost runs us to Chris’ car, then we take off.
Pulling up at some fancy-looking club, Chris lets us out of the car, then drives off, leaving us at the curb.
“Chris isn’t coming with us?”
“Yeah, he’ll be back later. He’s catching up with some douchebags from work or something. I don’t care. Let’s drink.”
Her blasé attitude always makes me laugh as we make our way to the front of the line.
“Can I see some ID, ladies?” the big burly bouncer asks.
“We’re both twenty-six?” I question confused.
Sarah pulls out her ID. “Jeni, if he thinks we look too young to get in, I am gonna take that as a good thing?”
The bouncer checks her photo ID, then mine, and we walk inside. The music is blaring, the vibration so intense it’s like my insides are bouncing with the beat. The lights of the room flash and pulse in time with the music, giving this place a real edgy nightclub vibe. I shove my phone inside my bra so I can feel it if Aiden calls or texts. I haven’t heard from him all day, so I don’t want to miss him. Sarah takes me by the hand, and we make our way straight for the bar. We sit on two empty stools, and the bartender asks, “What can I get you, ladies?”
“Cocktails,” Sarah squeals. “Two Pina Coladas, please.”
The bartender takes our money and walks off to prepare our drinks.
“So, when does Aiden come back?”
“On Monday, two more days.”
The bartender hands over our drinks—they have a slice of pineapple and a vibrant umbrella poking out from the top. I take a sip, and, of course, it’s delicious. One thing about Sarah is she knows good alcohol.
My phone vibrates, and I pull it from my top to read the message.
Aiden: Hi, baby, today is dragging, and I’m counting the minutes until I can see you again. My weekend is filled with business. I hope at least you’re doing something fun with your Saturday night. xoxo
I smile at his text feeling ecstatic to finally hear from him and hit Reply.
Jenifer: Hey, babe, can’t wait to see you again. I’m out with Sarah at some fancy club, and she’s force-feeding me cocktails. I’m sure any minute now I’ll be dragged onto the dance floor. Wish you were here. xoxo
I hit Send and drink the last of my cocktail.
“C’mon, Jeni, it’s dance time,” Sarah calls out loudly over the music.
Generally, it takes a lot to get me onto the dance floor, but with the cocktail and the wine I consumed at home before I left, I’m feeling great. She takes my hand and leads me out to the middle of the dance floor among all the dancing drunkards. We move along to the music, and we’re having fun when I notice a guy eyeing Sarah. I smirk while observing him making his way over to us.
He starts to dance next to her, and she’s oblivious as usual.
I smile, watching the scene unfold. Sarah has her hands up in the air and is dancing without a care when he makes his move. He leans into her side and wraps his arm around her waist. She glares and removes his arm, waving her finger and tutting at him. He frowns, and she looks at me. I can’t help but laugh which I think actually encourages the guy. He moves to her side again and starts to gyrate his groin into her leg.
I burst into hysterics as Sarah quickly grabs my hand, and pulls me back to the bar away from her drunken admirer. “Thanks for that, Jeni. It’s nice to know you will help a sister out when some pervert is dry humping my leg.” She laughs.
We order another cocktail or three, and by this time, I’m feeling, well, more than a little happy. My vision’s starting to blur, and I feel unsteady on my feet. I feel good, great, in fact, as my phone vibrates again.
Aiden: I wish I was there too. As for Sarah force-feeding you cocktails, just remember I’m not there to hold your hair when you puke. So, try not to drink too much, okay? xoxo
I hit Reply.
Jenifer: Im NoT eveen that badLy drunken so dont worrys. But I wuv u nd I cannt w8 to see u.
I hit Send without looking and put the phone back in my bra.
“Is that Aiden?”
“Yeah, I miss him sooo much.” I must be drunk because I can’t believe I’m about to tell her this. “We had phone sex on FaceTime,” I yell right as the music finishes.
Everyone stops and
looks at me.
As my eyes widen, my face reddens. Great timing, Jeni!
Sarah laughs so hard I think she’s going to pee herself, and everyone in the room cheers.
Fuck. How embarrassing!
“Chris and I sometimes have phone sex.”
“But you live together?” I look at her, feeling confused.
“Yeah, whenever Chris goes to shop for groceries, I like to call him, and I’ll have a one-sided phone sex conversation with him. It’s great because it gets me off in more ways than one. One is the obvious way, and two, it makes me happy that he’s in the middle of a supermarket, and I’m on the other end talking dirty to him. I know he can’t say anything while he’s there, so it drives him crazy. Then he comes home all worked up, and we have the best sex ever.”
I laugh. “Are you kidding?”
“Nope, serious. He loves it. He’s such a pervert.”
“Guess that brings new meaning to the phrase ‘Clean-up on aisle four.’” We both break into fits of laughter causing our normal hiccups and snorts to surface.
“Sarah, more dancing,” I yell while she downs the last of her cocktail all in one go.
We make our way back to the dance floor, and I’m swaying to the music as Sarah is jumping around with her hands in the air and her eyes closed. I notice a gorgeous blond walking toward us. My vision is blurry, but I think I recognize him. He comes up behind Sarah and moves his hands around to her front grabbing her tits. I laugh as Sarah smacks at his hands and turns around quickly. Chris laughs when she tries to punch him in the arm, but misses, causing her to stumble forward. He catches her as she realizes it’s him.
“You’re an asshole. You asshole!”
“Yeah, but I’m your asshole.”
Sarah leans up and kisses Chris softly. They start to slow dance together to the really loud and fast music. It makes me think of Aiden and how much I miss him. I take out my phone to message Aiden, but I see there’s a reply from him.
