Can't Touch This (Can't Touch This #1)

Vesper giggled. “So, you’re cheating on me with your brother?”

“Seems that way.”

“I might have to report you.”

“Or punish me?”

She whispered, “That could be arranged.”

My cock stiffened. “Don’t say things like that in that sexy way unless you want a midnight visitor.”

“I always want a midnight visitor if it’s you.”

“You say the nicest things to me.”

“And I mean them. See what a great girlfriend I am?”

My heart clenched. “You’re better than great. You’re the best.”

“And this conversation just veered into cheesy territory.”

I sighed. “Can you blame me?”

“Yes, I can actually. I was never this infatuated before. You’re interfering with my life.”

“If I wasn’t interfering, I’d be fucking heartbroken because it would mean you didn’t like me.”

Silence fell.

I hesitated then asked a juvenile but much needed question. “You do like me, Ves…don’t you?”

“Seriously, Ry? Fishing for compliments now?”

“Fishing for confirmation of your affection.”

“You already know how I feel about you.”

“I do?”

Silence again.

That damn third-party awkwardness and annoying cupid fluttering around us with his arrows ruined everything.

Vesper finally murmured, “You know as well as I do what we’re avoiding. And when we finally find the balls to be honest with each other, we’ll do it in person and not over the phone.”

My hand slipped down my body, cupping between my legs. “I have balls. Holding two of them right now. Maybe I’ll just come out and say it.”

“Do it and you’ll ruin what you’ll get after you do. Because I’m not there to leap on you.”

“Wait…what do I get?”

“It’s a surprise.” She yawned. “Now, I really need to get to sleep. Big day tomorrow. We’re inducing a Peke-A-Tese to deliver eight little puppies. The litter is too big for her to give birth naturally so we’re helping her out.”

“Working on a tease while you’re a tease. Saying you’ll leap on me and then hang up to care for a pooch. I see how it is.”

“I know, I’m evil.”

“Wrong. You’re the best person I know.”
