I jumped when the phone rang. It was an incoming video call from Ryan. Panicked, I quickly smoothed my hair and made sure my tank covered my nipples. I’d need to keep my phone high so he wouldn’t see through my shirt.
Answering, I said, “Hello.”
My voice sounded husky.
Ryan was sitting on a couch, his hair damp like he’d freshly showered. A slow smile took over his face. “Hey.”
My mouth was suddenly dry. Why was he calling me when we could easily go over the details by text?
“On Friday night, Corey is hanging out with a friend, and it’s my late night at the garage.” Ryan seemed unaware of the thoughts tumbling around in my head.
I couldn’t even remember why we were discussing Friday night. I was too busy taking in his crisp white shirt and the hand running through his hair. His shoulders were relaxed, his eyes light. So different from when I’d left the shop. Jake’s presence must have had him on edge.
“You could come over after hours, and we could have our lesson.”
Something about his phrasing had everything in my body softening. “My store closes at six, so I could stop by after I grab something to eat.”
“That works.”
An awkward silence fell between us. We’d never spoken on the phone. This felt more intimate. Probably because I was in bed and not wearing a bra. I checked the small window to make sure he couldn’t see anything revealing.
Satisfied I was decent, I met his amused gaze.
“Wait, are you in bed?” His tone was gravelly.
“Yeah, it’s late.” I moved the phone slightly to the left and right so he could see my room better. The only light was coming from the digital clock and a string of white lights that hung over my head.
“Are you an early-to-bed kind of girl?” The way he said it sounded a little dirty.
“I guess so.”
His eyes widened slightly, and I realized too late my phone had dipped, and my chest was probably visible. I knew it was sheer, and there was no way he hadn’t gotten an eyeful of my nipples. My cheeks felt hot as I adjusted the phone and pulled my sheet higher.
His expression was amused, but there was unmistakable desire in his eyes. I hadn’t imagined his interest during class. Heat moved through me, making me feel loose and pliable.
“Cute pj’s.”
My nipples beaded under the silk top.
“You are full of surprises, Hailey Stockton.”
“Because I don’t wear flannel to bed?”
He smirked. “Feisty, too. I like it.”
He liked me?A thrill shot through me. Was he finally going to acknowledge the spark between us?
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow,” he said.
“What should I wear?”
“Something that you won’t mind if it gets dirty.” His words were innocent, but there was a dark promise in them.
I kind of wanted him to dirty me up. “So, no white shirts?”
I asked the question carefully, watching his expression.
His eyes flashed with heat as he leaned closer to the phone. “It would be fun to dirty you up.”
