I shake my head and his lips lift in a smile.

“No matter.” He sits back in his chair. “Touch yourself.”

I untie the strings on the side of the outfit leaving myself bare from the stomach down. He’s right – I’m already wet. Which is silly, right? I mean a guy I just met shouldn’t have this kind of effect on me.

“Candy. I want to see you fuck yourself. Now.”

I tease myself with the vibe before slowly sliding it into my pussy. Oh. So damn good. My hips buck when I use my other hand to toy with my clit.

“My naughty girl likes that, doesn’t she?”

I nod and rub over the sensitive bud again.

“I wish you were here,” I breathe out.

He doesn’t answer, but groans as he pumps his cock. I work the vibe in and out of my pussy, fucking it as if it were Nick. When I come, I cry out his name. He pumps himself a few more times before coming as well.

I lean back, my chest heaving.

“Let me see your pussy,” he orders.

I turn toward the camera and spread my legs.

“Beautiful.”

I run my finger through my folds and drench my digit in the process.

“Lick it off.”

I give him a saucy look before slipping my finger between my lips. My arousal is salty and I moan a little.

“I’ve never tasted myself,” I admit.

“That makes two of us.”

I laugh. “Maybe we can change that.”

Holy shit. What am I offering?

He smiles. “I’d like that. I’d like that a lot, Candy.”

Her cheeks are flushed and she looks dazed. Maybe she’s having second thoughts?

“Only if you want to, of course.”

She sighs. “I’m not supposed to meet clients in real life. It complicates things.”

“Oh. I see.”

My words sound dumb to my own ears, but what else can I say.

She nibbles on her bottom lip. “Maybe we can meet for coffee. I assume you’re local or Jingle Belles wouldn’t have matched us.”

I’m not sure about that. It is very unlikely she lives in my city. We would have run into each other before now.

“I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but I’d go for a cup of hot chocolate.”

“Hot chocolate then.” Her face softens. “Nick, we can take our time. As much as I’m attracted to you, I also know this is moving fast.”

I want to laugh. Time hadn’t meant anything to me in a while. But I will take it slow, if that is what she needs.

“Are you free at all this week?”

Fuck waiting.

She nods. “I’m free tomorrow.”

That won’t work for me unless we meet later. My cock twitches at the thought.

“I could meet around eight, unless that’s too late?”

“No, that’s perfect.” She spouts off an address and then grins. “I can’t believe this is happening.”

“Anything is possible if you believe.”

We say our goodbyes and I end the call. I pad to the bathroom to shower. While the warm water runs over my skin I realize something. I haven’t been on a date in a very long time. When I get out of the shower I grab my phone and text Jack.

Nick: You up?

Jack: Yes old man. Not everyone goes to bed at dusk. What’s up?

Nick: I have a date tomorrow.

Jack: With who???

Nick: Doesn’t matter. But I just realized I haven’t been on a date in forever.

Jack: And you need some advice? I’m touched.

Nick: I knew this was a bad idea.

Jack: I’m only teasing. This is good, man. A step in the right direction.

Nick: Then why do I feel like I’m cheating?

Jack: Don’t go there. I’ll swing by tomorrow and we can talk.

I put my phone down. I actually have butterflies in my stomach. But when I think about meeting Candy face to face I know it’s the right choice.
