Once we had the sign posted to her satisfaction, I busied myself with cleaning knick-knacks to keep my hands busy. It was fun listening to Annie greet and entertain the smattering of customers that trickled in and out. I was really going to miss getting to hear Annie’s quirky, offbeat comments and unsuspecting strangers’ reactions to her. I hoped that she was right, and that we would still get to see each other regularly once the store was closed.

My thoughts were interrupted when my phone buzzed in my pocket, notifying me that I had a new text. Relief swept through me when I saw that it was from Sam. I hadn’t realized how tense I had been about our day with no contact. The message said, “I’m in an important business meeting, and I can’t focus on what is being said. All I can think about is you. This isn’t like me at all. You’ve gotten completely under my skin.”

His typed words made me grin. The thought of him being unable to concentrate on business because of me made me feel powerful and sexy. I decided to enjoy this a little. I typed the words, “I have been thinking about you all day. I can’t wait to get my hands on your…” I hit send without finishing the sentence.

As I had suspected, I didn’t have to wait long for a response from him. “My what???” Almost immediately another text buzzed in from him. “You’re killing me here. What do you want to get your hands on?”

Deciding to put him somewhat out of his misery, I answered. “I can’t wait to get my hands on your hot, naked, sweaty body. I’m going to…” I hit send, leaving the thought unfinished again.

His response was quick. “Abby!!!!”

I was smiling from ear to ear. This game was fun. “I’m going to rub and touch and kiss and lick…”

His response this time made me chuckle. “I’m getting hard just thinking about it, and I have no idea what’s being said in this meeting. I can’t wait to see you. What are you going to rub and touch and kiss and lick?”

“I’m going to start with your delectable lips and tongue, then I’m going to move down to…” I responded to him.

“Yes?? Move down to what? This is so hot, Ab.”

I was typing as fast as my texting thumbs could. He was right. This was hot, and fun. “Then I’m going to move down to your neck and chest. I’m going to rub my bare…”

“Bare what?? Geez, I’m dying here.”

“I’m going to rub my bare tits down your chest as I kiss and lick and slide my way down to…”
