I cup my cock with one hand. "You can have this inside you anytime, lass."
Then I walk back into the bathroom.
At ten o'clock, Calli goes into her bedroom and shuts the door. I'm not sleepy yet, so I Skype my sister Jamie. When her face appears on-screen, she moans pitifully instead of saying hello. Her hair looks messy, and her eyes are bleary. "Why did ye wake me up at three o'clock, Aidan?"
"Oh, sorry. I forgot it's five hours later over there."
She yawns and stretches. Her fluffy purple robe covers up her flannel pajamas, which everyone knows she sleeps in every night. The pajamas have kittens on them. Jamie combs her fingers through her hair to tame the mess and gazes at me, virtually, with clearer eyes than a moment ago. "Having trouble with your wife hunt?"
"No, I found the woman of my dreams. But she's not convinced yet that I'm the one for her."
"Don Juan can't seduce a woman? Aliens must have landed in Loch Ness, aye?"
"Not funny. I will have no trouble seducing Calli. It's talking her into falling for me that's the problem."
Jamie says nothing for a moment, her expression blank. "And you rang me for advice? Again? You didn't like what I said last time."
"No, I did not ring you for advice. Well, maybe." I groan and throw my hands up. "Donnae know what the fuck I'm doing."
"Poor Aidan. Finally met a lass who didn't fall into your arms at first sight."
Calli did fall into my arms at first sight. She bumped into me in the club. Since I seem unlikely to get reasonable advice from my little sister, I decide to change the subject. "Tell me what everyone's been doing while I'm away."
Jamie spends the next twenty minutes chatting to me about our sisters, brothers, and cousins. I'm exhausted after listening to her for ten minutes, but once Jamie gets started, it's hard to stop her. She might've been sleepy when I rang her, but now she's wide awake and in top form.
Finally, after twenty-two minutes, I interrupt her. "Jamie, I'm knackered from listening to you. Need to go to sleep."
"Aye, get your beauty rest. Sounds like your lass will make you work hard to win her over."
"She will, but Calli is worth it."
"Maybe I should come to America. See what you and Lachlan love so much about it." Her tone turns sneaky. "Maybe they have sexy American men for me to meet and—"
"No, Jamie. Stay away from this continent." I thought I'd talked her out of that idea last time I rang her, but she's a stubborn lass. So aye, we have nothing in common.
"I see. It's fine for you and Lachie, but not for me."
"Aye. That's exactly right."
She huffs. "You don't run my life, Aidan. I could stay at Erica's house in Chicago to look for my Prince Charming."
"No, you bloody will not."
"Did Rory lend you his caber? Sounds like it's wedged up your erse now."
"Very funny. Good night, Jamie."
"Good night, Aidan."
My sister finally ends our video call, and I yawn and stretch. She won't come to America. Jamie isn't that daft, so she'll change her mind. I suppose I am that daft, but it's different because I'm a man. Aye, that probably makes me a sexist twat. Cannae help it. My baby sister would get herself into trouble for sure if she comes here.
Lachlan and Rory will talk her out of it. Now that Jamie has the idea, she'll tell everyone about it.
Just to be sure, I ring Lachlan and ask him to keep an eye on Jamie. He's not pleased with being woken up in the middle of the night, but he agrees to watch out for our sister.
I shuffle into my room and crawl under the covers, ready for a good long sleep. I've just started to doze off when my mobile rings.Bugger off, I want to mutter, but I'm too drowsy to speak. The mobile rings again. And again. I fling a hand out to grab the device off the table and answer the call. "Hello?"
"Were you asleep?" Calli asks. "Didn't mean to wake you."
