It had been weeks since Nikki and Ian had gone on their first date that had consequently lasted well into the next morning, leaving both exhausted and tangled in her sheets.
Nikki tried not to think about it too often, knowing that any sort of relationship with a lone wolf like Edgerton was out of the question. Besides, long distance relationships never worked out. It was just what it was: hot, uninhibited sex. To be honest, she was fine with that…but she hated herself for wanting more and for daydreaming about it more often than she cared to admit.
It had been a long day and as she entered her apartment, she tossed her keys down and shrugged out of her jacket before heading into the kitchen for a cold beer. She took a long swallow before tiredly rolling her neck and groaning when her phone rang.
She trudged over to where she’d left it and without looking at the caller ID, answered, “Betancourt.”
“Hey beautiful.”
Instantly, she was wide awake and her heart was pounding, “Ian…I wasn’t expecting to hear from you. Are you in town?”
He avoided the question and sighed, “I was just sitting here thinking about you and thought I’d give you a call.”
She grinned, “Are you calling me from some secret stakeout and you’ve got a high profile criminal in your sights and thought you’d make it even more exciting by calling and talking to me while you bag your target?”
Ian chuckled, “What if I told you that I had you in my sights?”
Nikki snorted, “Then I’d tell you that you snipers need to come up with some less corny pick up lines.”
He rasped, “And if I’m serious?”
She put her hand on her hip and rolled her eyes before looking around, “If you’re serious, then what am I wearing?”
She could hear him smiling as he breathed, “Now, what would be the fun in that? I’m not normally one for sexy phone talk, but I think how it works is…you’re supposed to tell me what you’re wearing…”
Nikki couldn’t help but smile as she walked through the apartment and thought of all the ways she could tease him. She finally settled on an option, “What if I told you I’m not wearing anything?”
He replied, “Then I’d say that you have some very lucky neighbors if you’re just walking around in front of those exposed windows in all of your glory.”
Nikki stopped pacing then and for the first time since they’d started talking, considered that he was really somewhere watching her. “Ian Edgerton, are you spying on me?”
He merely asked, “If I were spying on you…what would you do for me?”
Nikki smiled again, playfulness once more filling her being. “Well, let’s say you were really watching me right now. Then…you’d know that I was lying about being naked...so...I guess I would have to start by going into my bedroom where I know there are the least amount of windows and less chance of being seen.”
Ian smirked, “You could always start by taking down your hair…”
Nikki shook her head, “I swear you have some sort of fetish with my hair.”
He grinned, “And you have some sort of fetish with handcuffs…so we’re even.”
She knew there was no argument there and so she continued, “I’m going to go into my bedroom now…and turn off the lights, but I’ll light one candle so that you can still see me through that scope of yours.”
“Good girl,” Ian sighed, “We don’t need anyone else seeing that gorgeous body of yours.”
She laughed, “You know, Ian…I can’t believe that you’ve got me doing this.”
He replied, “You’re doing it because you want to. No one could ever make you do anything that you didn’t want.”
She smirked, “You’ve got a point there…”
She walked into her bedroom and lit the candle, still not believing that she was actually acting on this. She put the phone down on the bed while she reached up and let down her hair, fluffing it before she picked it back up again. Ian immediately stated, “Why don’t you just put me on speaker…that way your hands are free?”
Nikki looked at the phone for a moment before she shook her head and pressed the button to activate the speakerphone option. She lay the phone back down on the bed and asked, “Can you still hear me?”
He smiled, “Clear as a bell.”
She reached up and started unbuttoning her shirt and Ian sighed, “Tell me what you’re doing.”
She teased, “If you can see me, why do I need to tell you?”
He responded, “And if I am making this up and I can’t see you? Then, I’m completely missing out on the whole point of naughty phone talk.”
She laughed, “All right…all right. I’m unbuttoning my shirt…”
Ian sighed, “That takes a lot of time…if I remember correctly, you’d prefer that I just rip it open to get to you.”
She closed her eyes at the memory of the last time they were together as she shrugged out of it and slowly ran her hands down over the skin of her stomach until she came to her belt. As she began unfastening it, she stated, “If I recall, you felt the same way. I still find a button here and there around the apartment.”
He groaned, “Mmm….god, you were so wild that night. I think you even ripped the button off my pants.”
She laughed softly, “We were wasting time getting out of our clothes. I needed you…”
He waited patiently for her to resume her conversation and after a moment of silence from him, she stated, “I’m sliding out of my slacks now…and I’m wearing those lacy panties with the matching bra that you were admiring when you were here last…”
He breathed, “Lie down on the bed, Nikki…”
Curious as to what he was up to, she did so and then waited for what he would say next. “Do you miss me, Nik?”
She sighed, “You know I do.”
He asked, “Do you miss the way I touch you…the way I tease you…how I kiss my way down your body and feel you arching towards me?”
Her eyes were closed now and her hand was absently skimming the top of her bra, while the other lazily caressed her tone stomach. “Yes,” she breathed.
His voice was seemingly deeper now as he continued, “If I were there right now, I’d have my hands and mouth all over you.”
Her thumb was now teasing the elastic of her panties and her breath was quickening as he asked, “Do you remember the last morning we were together…the way I woke you up? I slid my hand down over your hip as I took your breast into my mouth and when you moaned and started to come awake, my hand moved between your legs and you gasped…the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard first thing in the morning…”
Nikki’s hand had now slid down further and as Ian talked, she moved it in the way that she remembered he had touched her. Small sounds were escaping her and she could hear Ian’s breath quickening as well. “Do you wish I were there right now, Nik? Touching you in just the way you like…teasing you until you call out my name and beg me for more?”
Her hand was moving with more purpose now and she’d pulled her legs up so that her feet were planted firmly on the bed and she could move into her touch. She panted, “God, yes…I wish you were here to finish what you started.”
He sounded nearly out of breath now as he asked, “How badly Nik? How badly do you wish I were there?”
She whimpered, “Let’s just say if you were here right now, I’d show you that the last time was just a warm up. I’m so hot for you, Ian….”
Nikki was broken out of her trance by the sound of someone knocking on her door. She quickly sat up and hissed, “Damn it!”
Ian asked, “What? What is it?”
She scowled, “Someone’s at the door.”
He offered, “Don’t answer it…we were just getting to the good part…”
She sighed, “I have to at least go and see who it is.”
Disappointment was evident in his voice as he sighed, “All right. Well, at least put your robe on.”
She had already beat him to it and was tying it as she picked up the phone and switched off the speaker. “Going to radio silence for a minute.”
His silence let her know that he understood and as she padded through the apartment, she heard the knock again and she scowled even harder. Whoever the hell was knocking on her door at this hour had better have a damned good reason, especially considering just what it was they were currently interrupting.
She made it to the door and looked through the peephole only to see nothing but a badge and she cursed under her breath before adjusting her robe more and reluctantly opening the door.
The annoyance on her face was quickly replaced with surprise as Ian Edgerton smiled back at her and asked into his phone, “Who the hell is knocking on your door at this hour?”
She narrowed her eyes at him before bringing her own phone back up to her ear and stating, “Some creepy perv who’s apparently been spying on me. I gotta go teach him a lesson or two.”
He grinned, “Need some back up?”
She smiled back at him, “Nah…I got this.”
As they both hung up, he stepped closer to her and looked at her lips as if he were about to devour her before he raised his eyebrows and slipped past her, into the apartment, waiting for her to clear the door before he pushed it closed and locked it.
Nikki tried to calm her breathing as she crossed her arms and looked at him with her best look of annoyance, “What makes you think you can just drop in here whenever you’re in town?”
He stepped closer to her and she felt the door against her back as he whispered, “Well, I wasn’t sure until you told me how badly you wished I were here. How could I refuse an invitation like that?”
She accusingly stated, “You really were spying on me…”
He grinned mischievously, “From across the street…”
He was already shrugging out of his jacket as she breathed, “You know, that should really piss me off, or at least creep me out, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t turn me on…”
He reached out and cupped the side of her face as he bent down and hotly kissed her neck. She closed her eyes and as she sighed approvingly, his hand slid down over her chest, teasing her skin until he came to the tie of her robe. He breathed into her ear, “You should have seen yourself through my scope…touching yourself, your eyes closed, your perfect body writhing in pleasure…it was all I could do to keep my distance for as long as I did.”
She looked up at him, “Well, there’s nothing stopping you now, so what are you waiting for?”
Ian merely grinned down at her before his mouth crashed down over hers and her robe hit the floor. She tore at his clothes and both were in a near frenzy as more and more flesh was revealed. She cried out when he easily lifted her and pinned her against the door as he came to her, unable to wait until they could get to the bedroom.
Mere moments passed before both were panting and clinging to the other, the intensity of their climax surprising them both. When Ian finally pulled back to look at her, he brushed some stray curls out of her face and both laughed before he kissed her again hungrily.
A look of understanding passed between them and both knew that they were in for a night that neither of them would soon forget; a night in which Nikki would make good on her earlier promises and Ian would make sure to give her just enough to leave her wanting for more.
