“I can cook, Travis.” She rolls her eyes.

“Mhmm, you can. But I can do it better.” I laugh. I watched her burn ramen before. I mean, how the fuck do you burn ramen?

“Fine, I don’t like cooking anyway,” Lili says.

“How long do you give it before your family comes looking for you?” I ask out of curiosity more than anything else.

“So there’s this rule…” she says. “We’re not supposed to travel alone. Anywhere.”

“Ever?” I lift a questioning brow. “Besides, you’re not alone. You’ll be with me.”

“We’re supposed to always have a family member with us, but I have an idea.”

“You really have never been anywhere without a family member with you?” I attempt to clarify. That sounds a little insane.

“It’s for our own safety. But it’ll be fine. They’re going to just have to let me go. I’m not giving them a choice,” she says.

I smile. “Why do I get the feeling you’ve never had a rebellious stage, Lili?”

“Because I haven’t. I’ve always done what was expected of me… pretty much. The only time I’ve ever been in trouble has been because of someone else, one of my cousins or Alessandro.”

I laugh. “I like that you’re a good girl.”

“I’m not always good,” she hums.

“Yes, you are.”

“Really? So last night when I slipped my hands into my panties with thoughts of you on my mind, I was being good?”

“Fuck yes, you were,” I grind out as my own hand reaches for my cock.

“And if my hand slips beneath the sheets now…? If I push my fingers inside myself, is that being good too?”

“You’re such a good fucking girl. Tell me how you feel, Lili.” I stare at her on my screen. Her face is flushed, her eyes clouding over with lust.

“Wet, I’m so wet, Travis,” she moans.

“Mmm, that’s my good girl. I want to watch you come, Lili. Press your palm down on your clit while you thrust those fingers in and out of your pussy. Imagine that it’s my hand, my fingers bringing you pleasure.”

Lili closes her eyes. “I wish it were you. You’re so much better at this than I am. Your fingers always feel better than my own.”

“It’ll be me before you know it, babe.”

“Mmm, I want your cock to fill me up. I want to feel you stretching me. I want to feel the weight of your body on top of mine. I want your lips on me. I want your…” Her words die off as her head tips back. “Fuck. I want you so bad,” she hisses through clenched teeth, and I know her orgasm is close.

“Come for me, babe. Show me how much you want me,” I urge her, and she does just that.

Lili’s mouth falls open on a silent scream. My own orgasm follows hers, my cum spilling out all over my stomach. She slowly opens her eyes and stares back at me.

“As good as that was, it’s not the real thing,” she says.

“I know. Two more weeks,” I remind her.

“Two more weeks,” she repeats. “I love you.”

“I love you too, babe. Sweet dreams, Lili. Think about me.”

“All my dreams are about you, Travis,” she says right before she ends our call.
