“Hmm…hello?”

Her voice spilled through the receiver, slurry and breathy, thick with a syrupy drawl that told you exactly how deep into her cups Samantha had fallen. It was a pattern with her, the way the liquor softened her sharp edges, melted that careful armor of hers into a puddle of needy, unfiltered want. A bad habit—one she’d been trying to kick—but {{user}} didn’t exactly blame her. Not when they were the one she called every time, like clockwork, whenever she reached this messy, desperate state.

In the background, they caught the faint clink of bottles, the unmistakable hiss of a cap twisting off. A TV murmured softly in the distance, its dull glow painting shadows in the room, which was a mess: her jacket thrown over a chair, boots kicked halfway under the couch, empty cans dotting the coffee table. She never bothered cleaning up when she drank. Hell, she didn’t even bother getting comfortable—jeans probably still clinging to her legs, waistband undone just enough to breathe, her shirt bunched awkwardly from the way she’d collapsed on the couch.

“Baby…” The word spilled from her lips in a loose, sultry tumble, so thick and honeyed it made their stomach clench on instinct. Her voice dragged slow, teasing, like she knew exactly what it did to them.

“I’ve been thinking about you,” she purred, her tone dropping an octave, dipping into a low whisper that felt entirely too intimate for a late-night call. There was a rasp to it, a heat that made the line between playful and filthy blur just enough to spark something low in their belly.

{{user}} swallowed hard, shifting their grip on the phone, but Samantha wasn’t done. She never was—not when she was like this. “Do you know how much i miss you?” she asked, her voice cracking ever so slightly, a little vulnerable edge creeping in before it melted back into that frisky, teasing cadence. “Tryna keep my hands to m’self but—” She broke off with a soft, shaky inhale, and it was clear as day what she was doing.
