Chapter 185 - Delayed Gratification

historical

The call alert sounded and Cage saw Katherine's request. He accepted immediately, not wasting a second. He almost pressed reject in his haste. Thank god that didn't happen. The video popped up but all he saw was her bed and her headboard. The painting over the headboard was also available and she had black sheets on the bed.

He scrunched his brows as he called her, "Baby?" He couldn't keep the excitement out of his voice. She giggled on the other side, having heard his impatient call. Soon a long and s.e.xy leg appeared on the camera. She had her toes pointed on-point and the lines of her muscles made her legs look exquisite.

Cage gulped as her foot pressed down on the bed, making a small dent.

"This is unfair," he said with a pout. Her laugh resounded again.

"Delayed gratification, kind sir. I hear it does wonders." Her voice was all honey, and his eyes were glued to the screen. Her hand appeared on the screen and a single digit traveled from the tip of her toes to her knees.

"May I ask how much longer it will be delayed?" he asked roughly.

She snickered. She had painstakingly waxed every single hair that had appeared and made sure her skin looked smooth. She had even put the black satin sheets on the bed that made her skin look phenomenal in contrast. There was no way she was going to let the setting go.

He had his opportunity to torture her, now it was her turn to show him how it feels to be unable to touch something you crave with every cell of your being. She wanted to let out an evil cackle, but that would let him on into her plan.

"I haven't decided yet," she said slyly. The foot disappeared and Katherine's face filled the screen. She was leaning right in front of her camera and he couldn't see anything apart from her face. Not that he minded. He was enchanted by how her hair cascaded down and framed her face. The light from her screen illuminated her face and she looked like a goddess right out of Greek mythology.

"It's been too long. I couldn't control myself," she said with a sigh. The plans to torture him went out of the window. While he was on the side, trying to torture him, the laptop didn't allow her to see his face either. Hearing his voice and not being able to see him? She couldn't handle it either.

She shifted into the frame and sat cross-legged in front of the camera. Cage had imagined her in s.e.xy lingerie or completely n.a.k.e.d if she bought toys for them to play. Instead, she was in only a bodysuit and nothing else.

'Oh god.' Instant hard on.

How could a bodysuit do this to a person? Probably because it was her.

"Katherine," he breathed. She was gorgeous. Of course, the bodysuit was modest, but it left her thighs uncovered and had a slightly lower neckline that showed off her cleavage. The modesty of it made it so much more appealing. With her sitting cross-legged, he could see the n.a.k.e.d skin of her inner thigh.

Bodysuits were notorious to get rid of, but this one had a chain in the front. It would be easy to get rid of when he got her alone. "You look amazing," he whispered.

"I thought you would like it," she told him with a smile. Cage wondered how she appeared innocent when she was being so provocative. He loved it. It a talent in its own right.

"I don't like it," he started seriously. "I love it. Are you going to wear this for me later?" The anticipation in his voice...

She burst out into laughter. "Sorry to disappoint you. This is not what I bought on the shopping spree. I decided to keep it a secret for now." She gave him a wink.

"You promised to wear what you bought!" he protested.

"I didn't," she giggled. "But I will wear it for you as long as you let me wear it."

Cage sighed She really did know him. "Ah, then it won't stay up for long. I will take great pleasure in taking it off your body then." Katherine smirked.

She bent forward, giving him an excellent view of her cleavage as she picked up the laptop and placing it on her lap. She scooted back and rested against the headboard. Cage was a little peeved that he wouldn't be able to see her legs anymore, but the view of still stellar, so he couldn't protest.

"I miss you a little," she told him.

His heart ached a little with longing. "I miss you too." He paused. "Is this what a long-distance relationship feels like?" he asked.

"We live in the same city, just forty kilometers apart. I don't think it counts as a long-distance relationship, but our circ.u.mstances make it strange. It's weird that we only spent a short time together but it still feels like a part of my soul went with you when you left."

Ah, so mushy. Katherine couldn't believe what she was saying. Were these words truly coming out of her mouth? How shameful!

"It's not strange, at all. That's just our dynamic. We fit like two pieces of a puzzle and when one is missing, it just isn't complete." Cage knew what she meant.

"My God, I feel like we are in a teenage romance novel or something. Are we really grownups?" She wanted to groan.

"I doubt we are kids." They snickered together. "You've been on my mind ever since I left."

"Five more days," she said with a sigh. It seemed so far away. "You'll get your cute ass up here and we can dance to the cabin." She smiled then.

"Five more Skype calls and we will get there. In the meantime, think about me sometimes."

"How do you know that I don't already think about you?" Oh, yeah?
