Sexting that lasted until dawn

It started with “are you still awake?” at two in the morning. Within half an hour the chat was pure sex: instructions, breathless voice notes, photos we had both agreed to, and a video call in low light. I touched myself to his voice until I came twice, and he finished while watching me through the screen. There was no meeting in person and we did not need one. Sometimes virtual sex is more intimate than an awkward date. We switched the phones off at dawn, still smiling, with London quiet on the other side of the window. We said Friday, with no duty to meet if we do not fancy it.
