She gives me a naughty wink. “It’s part of my evil plan to make you beg for leave.”

“Actually,” I sit forward, adjusting the boner in my pants. “That’s why I called. They’re finally moving us to Caracas, and we have the option to take a short one.”

The phone drops, and for a minute, the screen goes crazy giving me views of her bedroom before it’s back on her again. She’s pulled the thin white shirt over her beautiful body.

“You’re coming home?” Her pretty amber eyes are watery and an ache hits my throat.

“I’m coming to you.”

“Taron…” She blinks down, and two crystal drops hit her cheeks.

I want more than anything to gather her in my arms and hold her tight. “I’m going to love you so hard, we’ll never leave the bedroom.”

“Is Sawyer coming with you?”

“Yeah, we all get four days.”

“That’s all?”

“Hey,” I force a grin. “Let’s focus on the good part.”

Her dark head nods, long waves bouncing around her shoulders. “I’m sorry. I just… I miss you so much.”

“Don’t say you’re sorry. I miss you.” My voice is warm. My arms long for her. “I’ve got so much to tell you. So many things I want to say.”

“I can’t wait to hear them all.” Her eyes look tired, and I want to slide my thumbs under them, dry her tears. “You made it through harvest.”

“We did.” A big smile takes over her face. “I was so scared we couldn’t do it without Sawyer. I ended up hiring Digger to be our foreman.” Her cute nose wrinkles. “But Leon and I both made a vow it was the last time. Next year, it’s just me and him… and maybe one other person, but no more Digger.”

That makes me laugh. “That bad?”

“He’s just so freakin annoying. You can’t imagine.”

“I can imagine. But hang on…”

Her brow furrows. “How did I lose my sexy pageant show?”

“Oh.” Her chin drops, and she looks up at me through heavy lashes. My dick immediately springs to life at the sight of her. “Were you talking about the grown-up Princess Peach.”

She traces a finger down the front of her shirt, sliding the sides apart and letting her beautiful breasts peep out.

“Shit, yeah…” My voice is rough, hungry, and we spend the next several minutes on a Facetime call so dirty, I’m covered in sweat and weak in the knees when it’s over. “I’ll never use this sock again.”

Noel’s lying on her back, her dark hair sticking to her naked, sweaty body. “You make me come so hard.”

“I didn’t even touch you. Just wait until I’m there.”

She rolls over to face me, her pretty breasts hanging down on her bed. “How long before you’re here?”

“If everything goes through, we should be able to leave by the weekend. Of course, travel days count against our leave, so I’ll only have a few days.”

“I’ll be so glad to see you.” Her voice is soft, sleepy.

“I love you, princess. Get some rest.”

“I love you.”

We disconnect, and I unlock the door before staggering to the shower. A few minutes later, I’m lying on my bunk, scrolling through the gallery of nude Noels on my phone. She is so damn fine. I can’t wait to have my mouth all over her body and my dick deep inside her.
