“Of course you are.” Callie smirked.

“Why do I get the feeling you’re mocking me?”

“Not mocking. Placating.”

“My mistake.”

A few moments went by before she said, “Flavored lube.”

“What?”

“I bought flavored lube.” Callie thought she heard him suck in his breath. “And this gel called Fired Up.”

“What does it do?”

“It . . . it . . . you put it on . . . ” She couldn’t seem to form a coherent sentence and finally blurted, “It makes your clit tingle.”

Silence stretched on the other end, and she wondered if the phone had given her false confidence to say stupid things.

But then he asked softly, “Have you tried it yet?”

It was her turn to hold her breath. “Earlier at the party, but it’s stopped working by now.”

Callie could almost hear the wheels in his head turning before he asked, “Wanna try it again?”

Chapter Fifteen

EVERETT WAITED, HALF expecting Callie to hang up on him. From the moment she’d mentioned being in bed, his mind had been racing with thoughts of her in slinky nighties or nothing at all. And then she’d turned flirty and sassy, so unlike the shy yet friendly woman he’d come to know.

Had he pushed too hard? Is that why the phone had dropped into dead silence?

And then she said, “Hang on.”

“Okay, what would you like me to hang on to?”

“Smart ass. I’m going to try it again.”

Holy fucking shit balls.

His cock was raging under his quilt, and he slipped his hand beneath.

It was quiet for a few seconds, and his heart hammered so loudly in his ears, he almost missed it when she spoke. “I’m taking off the plastic.”

“That’s hot,” he said, laughing.

“I know.”

Part of him was sure she was just messing with him, but what if she wasn’t? His tongue moistened his dry lips as he waited for more.

“I’m pulling down my pajama pants. And now I’m taking some of the gel and rubbing it on me.”

Her breathing hitched as she spoke, and Everett closed his eyes, focusing on the soft sound of her voice. The little puffs were driving him crazy, and he had to know what was happening.

“How does it feel?”

“It’s cold right now, but it’ll warm up in a minute.” Her tone was husky, warm, and he wanted to hear more. She had taken them down this road. If he played along, would it scare her off? It wasn’t the first time he’d had phone sex, but somehow with Callie, it felt new.

Taking a leap of faith, he said, “Why don’t you try rubbing it into your clit?”
