“What are you doing right now?”
“Just sitting on the couch chatting with Monroe, stealing her popcorn.”
“Hi, Rome!” Monroe calls out.
“I’m sure you heard that, but Roe says hi.”
“Tell her I said hello.”
“Rome says hello.”
“Emerson?”
I sit up straighter at him calling me by my full name. “Tell Monroe goodnight and go to your room. You might want to lock the door and turn on some music if you don’t want her to hear you.”
“Hear me?” I ask, and Monroe grins wider.
“I’m gonna take this to my room and watch a movie. With headphones. You know those noise-canceling ones my mom bought me so that I could concentrate on studying. Yeah, I’m going to use those.” She winks as she stands with her half-eaten bowl of popcorn, her phone, and a bottle of water in her arms. “Night, Em. Love you.”
“Night. Love you too,” I tell her. “She just went to bed.”
“Lock up, baby.”
“Okay. Do you want me to call you back?”
“No. Fuck, no. I miss the hell out of you, and I’m not losing any more time. Take me with you to lock up.”
I do as he says, making sure the apartment door is locked, and I turn off the lights. When I make it to my room, I don’t bother with the overhead light. Instead, turning on the small bedside lamp. Just as he instructed, I close and lock my bedroom door.
“I’m in my room.”
“Good girl,” he husks, and heat pools between my thighs. “Em?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m going to hang up and call you back with a video call. I need to see you.”
“Okay.” The call ends abruptly but rings in with a video call not seconds later. “Hey.” I smile at him.
“Damn, seeing your smile is all it takes to brighten my day.”
“I miss you.”
“I miss you too. Can you do something for me?”
“Anything.”
“Strip. I need you naked.”
“Only if you do too.”
“Done.” The phone jostles and then all I see is the ceiling of his bedroom. “You stripping for me, baby girl?” His voice is deep and gruff, and so incredibly sexy. I can’t see him, but I can hear his clothes rustling.
I clear my throat and start to strip. “I am now.”
“Fuck yes, you are,” he says, and I can’t help but smile.
Once I’m rid of all my clothes, I climb on the bed and lift my phone so he can only see my face.
