Chapter One
Matt adjusted the webcam on his computer and took a deep
breath before checking the time again. Only five minutes remained and he was
already a wreck. He’d been waiting for this moment all day.
No, if he was truthful he’d wanted this to happen since the
first time they’d met online.
As soon as they’d started talking, he’d known Jill was
different. She was similar to him in some ways and yet different in all the
ones that mattered. When their emails had gradually turned sexier in nature, he
hadn’t believed his own luck.
He still had no idea what she really looked like but he’d
find out in…he checked his watch again. Two minutes. In two minutes he’d see
the woman who had turned his world upside down for the first time.
He wondered if she’d be naked or if she’d take her clothes
off for him later on. He couldn’t wait to see her bare body. Sure, he already
knew what her tits or her pussy looked like. After all she’d been sending him
pictures for the past weeks, but tonight would be different.
He’d see all of her.
At once.
Fuck but he couldn’t wait.
Just as he thought that, his computer pinged. You have
been invited to a video chat with Jill. Accept? “Fuck yeah!” He hastily sat
down at his desk and pressed the Enter key.
A window popped up, an image appearing only seconds later.
He felt himself go still. A woman sat Indian-style on a bed, a shy smile on her
face. She had shoulder-length red hair, dark enough it appeared nearly brown in
the semidarkness of the room she was in. “Hey,” she said, waving a little. “How
are you, Matt?”
And like the dickhead he was, he just
sat there and stared at her in silence. It was just too much to take. She was
just wearing a tee and cotton shorts. She wasn’t naked, but the clothes were so
skimpy, though, that from the way she sat he could see she wasn’t wearing any
underwear.
“Matt?”
He blinked. Came back to the present. “Hey, baby.” He heard
her sigh of relief and cursed himself inwardly. “I’m good. Real good.
Especially now. You?”
He watched, transfixed, as she licked her lips in a nervous
gesture. “I’m fine. A bit…scared.”
That made him frown. “Don’t be scared, honey. It’s just me.”
“I know,” she replied. “That’s the problem.” She scrunched
up her nose.
“We don’t have to do this, you know. I mean, it was your
idea.” Something he really hadn’t expected her to suggest, that was for sure.
He hadn’t thought she would do such a thing. She might have shared a lot with
him but she still held herself back.
When she’d emailed him to tell him she’d remembered there
was a webcam on her laptop and did he want to set up a video chat, he’d about
jumped up in his seat and punched the air. Good thing he hadn’t as he’d been
sitting in an airport lounge at the time.
“No. No.” She shook her head. “I want to do this. It’s
just…weird, I guess. I mean, I know you and I don’t.” She sighed. “Sorry, I’m
not making much sense here.”
“No, you are. That made complete sense.”
She laughed. “Now you’re just being nice.”
“Hey, I’m a nice guy.” His voice dropped low, and he watched
her shift on the bed. He knew how much she loved his voice. The only time
they’d had phone sex she’d come so loudly he could still hear her shout in his
head.
“Damn,” he heard her mutter.
Pleased with himself, Matt decided to push her a little. He
was so fucking horny he didn’t think he could take this slow.
He wanted this. He wanted to watch her. Fuck, how he wanted
to watch her… “Are you wet, baby?”
“Matt!” Her eyes widened.
“Are you?” He leaned back in his chair, making sure the
angle of the camera caught the obvious tent in his pants. “I’m hard as a rock
here. I’ve been thinking of nothing but you all day.”
“Oh God,” she moaned, biting her bottom lip again. “I
thought we were gonna take this slow.”
He closed his eyes for a
