She was feeling so sticky that she went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. She brought her phone to the bathroom and let her phone ring. She felt a certain satisfaction with Noah's incessant calling.
She put her phone on the bathroom counter and stripped her clothes. She was already fully naked when the ringing of her phone stopped. She was about to step under the shower when her phone started ringing again. It seemed like Noah won't stop calling her until she answers.
She sighed heavily and answered the damn phone. "Hello."
He cleared his throat. "I like this new Jess. If you will always answer my call naked, I will call you often."
She shrieked when she realized it was a video call! She didn't know is she's going to cover herself when her right hand was holding her phone. She rolled her eyes at Noah's face on the screen and lifted the phone up so that only her face can be seen. "Bastard," she muttered under her breath.
"Little Miss Jessie, I called but you're the one who answered it," he pointed out the obvious, chuckling.
"Well then, you called. I dropped it. Bye!"
"No, no, no...come on baby, don't be like that." His tone of voice changed from teasing to begging. "I miss you," he crooned in his smooth voice.
She scoffed at him and sat down on the toilet bowl. She pulled her knees to her chest and lowered her hand.
"Are you really coming?" She asked in a small voice.
"I miss you so much and Lucille truly wanted to see you." His smoldering gaze was making Jess feel unnecessary feelings. It didn't help that she was buck naked and Noah was looking at her like he wanted to enter the phone screen of his phone and be with her.
"Don't come." She lowered her eyes because she was scared that she would read the desire that slowly building up from her core. There is an itch in between her legs that she wanted to hurry and get under the shower.
"Why now? We don't have to stay in the villa. Lucille and I can check into a hotel and you can come and visit us."
"Don't use your kid to make me say 'yes."
"Don't you miss me?" His tone dropped and when she looked up at her phone screen, Noah was inside his room. The familiar bed was in the background.
When Noah saw that Jess was staring at his bed. "I miss you in my bed, Miss Zimmerman," he drawled. He went inside his room because his pants tightened, seeing Jess naked. He heaved a deep sigh, and asked, "You're taking a shower, right?"
"Uhm," she was feeling too hot. She wished Noah would drop the call.
"W-what? What do you mean?" her voice trembled with excitement.
"I want to see you taking a shower, Miss Zimmerman."
Jess pressed her legs together because she felt a warm liquid drip from her. Her face heats up and she bites her bottom lip and stares at Noah's face. His eyes were like a hungry predator, waiting for his prey.
She was lost for words but her eyes shifted to the shower stall. The design of the bathroom was made to make it look like the one using the bathroom was outside. There are even real plants inside the bathroom.
The silver brass shower stand was on the far wall and it was open. No glass casing like her shower at home. There is no place to put her phone up. She wanted to smack her head with the fact that she was already considering what Noah said.
"You can put your phone on the bathroom counter and I can see you…" he said as if reading what was on her mind.
Jess swallowed the saliva that stucked at the back of her throat with the idea of her showering while Noah was watching, starting to become a really good idea.
"Come on now, Miss Zimmerman. Stand up and stop covering yourself."
Jess glared at Noah but slowly put down her legs and lowered her hand that was holding the camera. Noah can now see not just her face but also her breast. Her breasts with their nipples shamelessly protruding high up in the air.
"God, baby...you look so fucking wonderful." He growled and ran his tongue over his lower lip like a hungry beast, anticipating a delicious meal.
Jess felt herself getting wetter. The desires in Noah's eyes were driving her insane. She wanted to touch herself to ease the painful throbbing in the middle of her thighs. And the longer she didn't do something about it her needs intensified.
"Jessica," Noah crooned her name in his velvety voice, like a demon on her shoulder, asking her to dive in the deep blue sea that was his eyes.
She chewed on her lower lip, her gaze dropped and her lashes fluttered as she blinked rapidly, and gulped rather loudly.
Noah stared at her with such intensity she moaned as she called his name softly but it was resounding in her ears. Her voice laced with desire echoed in the enclosed space of the bathroom. Or maybe she was simply being too hyper-sensitive to every little thing around her.
Jess gripped her left thigh and stood up. She walked slowly to the bathroom counter. She gathered the bottles of her lotion and moisturizer and used them as an improvised phone holder.
As soon as it was set up, she put the phone on speaker and stepped back slowly. When she was about three steps away from the phone, she could see her full upper body on the phone camera.
She cleared her throat and declared. "I'm going to take a shower now." She gingerly took three steps backward before turning away from the camera. Slowly, she walked to the shower stand.
Although she could no longer see Noah's expression, the thought of him watching her thousands of miles away made her knees buckle in excitement. Never in her life had she ever been so excited about taking a shower!
