Chapter 43: A New Show

Beth gets the call while she’s— otherwise occupied, to say the least.

Sean stares up at her, blatantly trying not to laugh, as she scrambles to get her phone from their nightstand, to slide the little telephone icon across the bottom of the screen. “Hello?”

“Beth Kessel?”

She knows this voice from somewhere, but she can’t place it. “This is she.” Beneath her, mostly undressed, Sean attempts to trail his fingers up her thigh. Beth slaps them away and tries to give him a reproachful look. From the way he grins back at her, she doesn’t quite succeed.

“Hi, Miss Kessel, this is Veronica Shumaker.”

Veronica— “Oh! Hi, Veronica, how are you?”

Beth listens with half an ear, exchanging the usual pleasantries, as she attempts to dislodge herself from Sean, but he’ll have none of it. He grips her waist, effectively trapping her with her legs on either side of his hips. It’s not like they’re even fully undressed, yet, but she can still feel him, hard and hot, through his jeans.
