“Fucking hell,” he growls as my back bows, and I let the orgasm move through me, not quiet in the least, as my hips jerk with it.
I lie here, out of breath, listening to his labored breathing on the other end of the line.
“Where are you today?” I ask quietly.
“I don’t even know my own name right now,” he confesses, making me smile. “Tokyo.”
“What time is it there?”
“Five in the afternoon.”
“Wow.” I turn onto my side and pull the sheet up over my hips. “You’ll be leaving work soon, right?”
“In a few hours. We have some things to hammer out before we call it a night. I’ll have dinner brought in.”
“You’re a good boss.”
My eyes are heavy, so I close them, enjoying the way he sounds on the other end of the line.
“It takes one to know one,” he replies, making me smile softly. “Are you sleepy now?”
“Yeah. Sleepy. Miss you.”
“Mm-hmm.” I must doze, because then I hear him say, “God, I fucking miss you, too, babe.”
“Like it when you call me that.”
“Babe?”
“Yeah, that.”
“Good to know.”
I sigh, feeling myself falling asleep.
“Good night, Polly,” he says softly into my ear.
“’Night.”
CHAPTER TEN
RYAN
Immediately after hanging up the phone, I make a call to Mac and leave a message on his voice mail.
“Hey, it’s me. I need the key to your sister’s house. I’m about to make a call to have air conditioning installed for her. She’s uncomfortable, and that’s not okay with me. I’ll have the HVAC guys get in touch with you so you can let them inside. It’s happening this week. Text me with any issues. And thanks. I owe you.”
I hang up, frustrated that it’s the middle of the night back home. Even more frustrated that I’m not there.
I want nothing more than to curl up around Polly and sleep with her. That conversation is exactly what I’d been needing.
Hearing her voice, her laugh, and the smile through the line is what I needed.
Almost as much as I need to get home.
