long pause. My heart rate picked up while I waited for him to reply. It was an effort to keep quiet, but
I managed it.
“Mostly.”
I sucked in a breath. “I’m not sure what that means.”
“I love you, Charlie. I want to be with you, and I’m not ashamed of that.”
“But…?”
“But I am afraid of what the media’s reaction to our relationship might be.”
“You don’t need to be.”
“I know you want that to be true, Charlie, but I think you’re going to be disappointed.”
I hoped I wouldn’t be, but I was bracing myself for that eventuality. “Whether the media reaction is good or bad,
we’ll get through it together.”
“I know.”
I touched the ring under my T-shirt. “I’m not gonna run away just because things get tough for a bit. I did that
once before with my family, but never again. I love you. I’m not going to let you go.”
“That’s good to know. How are we going to handle it?”
“I’ll talk to Robin,” I said with a heavy sigh in my voice.
“You don’t sound happy about that.”
“Robin can be a jerk, but he’s good at his job—when he’s not going behind my back. I trust him to figure out the
best way for us to go public.”
“That’s good enough for me,” Austin said.
“Great! Then by the time you get here on Friday, Robin and I will have a plan. Everything’s going to be okay,
Austin. You’ll see.”
“I hope so.”
“Oh! You’ll be with me for my next heat.” I couldn’t explain how giddy and happy that made me. My last heat had
been awful from start to premature finish.
“About that… How would you feel if I came off my heat blockers?”
“I’d love it.”
“I can’t guarantee I’ll ever have a heat at the same time as you. I can’t even guarantee I’ll have a heat at all.”
“No, but it infinitely increases our chances of having a combined heat.”
Austin chuckled softly. “That’s very true.”
“I can’t wait to hold you in my arms,” I whispered.
“And kiss you,” Austin said as though finishing my sentence.
“I’m expecting lots and lots of kisses.”
“I’ll kiss you all night if you want me to.”
I ran my fingers over my lips, imagining they were Austin’s. “I think you’ll be too jet-lagged to stay awake all
night.”
“I’ll sleep on the plane so I’ve got the energy to stay awake.”
“Bad idea. Stay awake on the plane and sleep when you get here. Then you’ll reset your body clock faster.”
“Who’d have thought Charlie Faire could be so sensible?”
“Hey, I think very hard about how to avoid being overly tired, remember?”
“True.”
“Austin?”
“Hmmm?”
“Go back to telling me what you’ll do when we’re together again.” I undid my jeans and slipped my hand into my
underwear so I could free my cock. I stroked it gently as I listened to his voice.
“I’ll run my fingers through your hair.”
“I like it when you do that.”
“Mm, I know. I’ll breathe in your scent. It’s so sweet.”
“So’s yours.” I captured beads of pre-cum on my fingers and used them to make my cock wet.
“I’ll run my hands over your back.”
“Through my T-shirt?”
There was a pause as though Austin was debating that question. “Through your T-shirt to start with.”
I let out a disappointed whimper.
“But it won’t be long before my fingers slip under the hem.”
I put my phone on speaker, laid it on the pillow beside my head, and used my free hand to mimic what he was
describing.
“I’ll caress your silky soft skin.”
“That sounds so nice.”
“I’ll run the heels of my hands over your nipples until they’re hard as pebbles.”
I caressed my right nipple until it was just as hard as he’d said it would be. “Then what, Austin?”
“I’ll kiss my way down your chest and stomach.”
My hips bucked as I imagined his soft lips and prickly chin moving slowly down my body towards my cock.
“I’ll undo your jeans,” Austin went on.
“Is that what I’ll be wearing?” I was starting to get breathless. He had to know I was touching myself.
“You always wear jeans. I’ll undo them and push them down around your ankles.”
“And my underwear?”
“That’ll be next.”
“And then?”
“I’ll bury my nose in your crotch and inhale you again. You’ll smell of pre-cum and slick.” He made a contented
noise.
“And then?”
“I’ll run my tongue from the root of your cock to the head.”
I shivered. “Oh, Austin.”
“Then I’ll suck your cock into my mouth.”
All I could do was hum as I started to thrust into my fist.
“I’ll take you so deep,” Austin promised.
“I’d like that,” I whispered. I squeezed my eyes shut
