I wait, thumb resting on the screen.

Luka: Answer me.

Nina: Yes.

The single word hits harder than it should.

Luka: Take them off.

Nina: You first.

I look down at my open trousers and smile.

Luka: Already ahead of you.

Nina: Oh.

Luka: Take them off, Nina.

Nina: Done.

I stroke myself once, slow, then grip the phone harder.

Luka: Fingers.

Nina: This is not fair if you’re not here.

Luka: I know.

Nina: I want your hand.

Luka: Use yours and pretend it is mine.

Nina: Your hands are bigger.

Luka: I know.

Nina: Arrogant.

Luka: Wet.

Nina: Extremely.

I stop walking.

For a second, there is only that word and the sound of my own breathing.

Luka: Put two fingers inside.

There is no immediate reply.

Then:

Nina: Okay.

Luka: Move slowly.

Nina: I don’t want slowly.
