I shift on the bed.“Yeah,” I say, trying to keep my voice flat and even.“I was thinking about sucking your dick,” he says, and I can’t help it – I laugh. “Well, if you’re gonna be like that…” he grumbles. “No, no, sorry,” I say, but I can’t stop chuckling. “It’s just…that was so cheesy,” I tease.“Dude, don’t you know me? I’m a connoisseur of cheese. Blue cheese. Gouda. Babybel.”“Ok, that last one-”“Sex cheese.”“Ew,” I laugh. “I thought we were talking about my dick,” I say, surprising myself a little. Usually, I’m only this bold with Iva. “Yeah, and then you laughed.”“I’m wearing my serious expression now, I swear,” I lie, biting down to keep my smile from growing. “You know, I used to think that “serious expression” was like your default expression but you have like…a whole dozen expressions, probably,” Ezra teases. “It’s almost like I’m not a cold, dead, robot.”“I know you’re joking but, damn, that’s hot,” Ezra says. I laugh, shaking my head.“There’s something wrong with you.”“We’ll be here all day if we start on that list,” he says. I want to protest, but he goes on. “So, your dick. How’s it doing?”“It was still there, the last time I checked.”“Maybe you should check again. Just to make sure.”“Pretty sure that’s unnecessary.”“This is going terribly, you know.”“What is this, exactly?”“Phone sex. This is phone sex.”“Sorry,” I laugh.“Don’t be – I don’t think the talk about cheese helped.”“You never know. Some people are probably into that.”“Well, if that’s what you like I can start calling you cheesecake in bed.”“Please don’t,” I laugh, even though thinking about a bed being involved in anything we do makes a rush go through me. Silence falls, comfortable and amused, but the more it goes on, the more it charges. “I really was thinking about you last night,” Ezra says, softer now, the mood shifting.“Yeah?” I say quietly.
