CHAPTER 148: THE VIDEO CALL THAT TURNED OUT BETTER THAN EXPECTED I
She called out to Nik, "Uncle Nik, Grandma and I will be going to my parents' house tomorrow morning. Please help me inform Matthew and Beatrice. I'm giving you all a one-week vacation in light of this announcement."
Nicodemus smiled and shook his head. "Thank you, ma'am. I'll let them know and prepare the gifts for your parents."
"Uhm, Uncle Nik, there'll be no need for that. Me coming is gift enough for my family."
"Nonsense," Suzanne suddenly chimed in from her seat. "I'll have to carry gifts since I'm meeting them for the first time, so he should prepare the gifts for me."
Diana smiled and turned back to Nik.
"Okay, please do that for Grandma, Uncle Nik."
Then she turned to Suzanne. "Grandma, I'll be heading up now. I'm really tired."
"No problem, daughter. Please shower and sleep tight."
"Will do, Ma," Diana said with a soft yawn as she headed upstairs.
Just as she got into her room, her phone rang.
A huge smile lit up her face when she saw the caller ID.
She quickly picked up and whined teasingly,
"Mr. Alfred! How could you go all day without talking to your wife? Do you know how worried I was?"
"I'm sorry, baby," James's well-controlled voice sounded from the other end.
The moment he arrived in Dubai, it had been back-to-back meetings. Even as he spoke to her now at 10 PM, he was still in the office. So he found himself explaining.
"I'm just finishing up my meetings now. I'm sorry it took so long."
"Oh dear!" Diana exclaimed. "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet," James responded. "Angelo and Antonio both went to get me something to eat."
"Angelo? But I didn't see him go with you."
"Well, I asked him to come later," he explained. "How about you? Have you eaten yet?"
"Yep," Diana responded cheerfully. "Grandma made a feast."
"Seems my grandma now likes you more than me," James said without a trace of anger.
Diana grinned. "You should be happy, hubby, that your grandma likes me this much."
"Oh, I'm happy alright," James responded, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Well, I'm about to shower now," Diana said, stretching. "I'm pretty tired. I'll call you later."
"Shower?" James asked, his voice perking up like she'd just said chocolates.
Diana responded innocently, "Yes… shower."
"Well then, why do you have to call me back later?" James questioned, a playful edge in his voice. "Let's go shower together."
"How?" Diana blinked.
"How else?" James smirked. "Video call, of course."
"Hold on," Diana said, squinting like she didn't hear right. "You mean you'll be watching me as I shower?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?" James shot back, amused. "Honey, you're my wife. You shouldn't hesitate to do favors like this for your husband."
"So… I'm doing you a favor right now?" Diana asked, just to be sure.
"Yes, baby," James responded sweetly.
Diana bit her lip, torn between blushing and curiosity.
"Well, what's it going to be like..... I mean, watching me bathe?"
James mentally rolled his eyes and sighed with a soft chuckle. His wife was truly innocent. He intended to spoil that innocence thoroughly at every opportunity.
"It'll be normal, babe. I'll just watch and probably make you cum in the process... and get off on it too."
"Sounds undoable," Diana said, already walking to the bathroom.
"Well, there's no harm in trying," James said, almost pleading now.
"Do you have to be this horny?" Diana asked him, exasperated.
James laughed hard, unable to contain himself.
"I get horny because of you, baby. Whether you realize it or not, you make me horny always."
Diana switched the call to video. He picked almost immediately, and there it was; that handsome, smiling face lighting up her screen.
"Remind me," James said with a teasing glint in his eyes, "we need to get some sex toys to do the job when I'm not there."
Diana visibly rolled her eyes, which only made him chuckle harder.
"Like I'll remind you about that kind of thing," she retorted.
"So what," she asked, raising a brow, "is this the famous phone sex?"
"More like video call sex," James corrected smoothly, his smile deepening. "Place the phone at an angle where I can see everything properly."
She adjusted it, propping the phone carefully. Then came the command, low and husky:
"Strip."
Diana hesitated for a second, nerves tingling through her, but still began undressing. She moved too fast, until she heard his voice again, calm, commanding, intimate.
"Slowly, baby… take them off slowly, set the mood."
A smile tugged at Diana's lips. With cheeks flushed and eyes locked on his, she began again...this time at a slower pace. Piece by piece, she undressed under the weight of his gaze, while James sat back and watched, completely transfixed.
