Cameron and Maria lay in bed with only sweat covering their naked bodies. Both were completely spent and it was only Friday, their first night together. Maria was tucked in Cameron's arms as they started to drift off to sleep.
It all started so innocently she thought as she allowed sleep to overtake her body.

4:15am.
Shit, I've got to get another job. This getting up at 4:15 everyday is just killing me, Maria thought as she sat down at her desk and turned on her desk lamp to read her e-mails before starting the day. While sifting through them, she noticed a note from someone she didn't know. That was always the scary part. Either people loved or hated her work, but that is all a part of being a sex columnist in the local alternative rag, Off The Cuff.
"Hi,I just read your article posted in the online version of Off The Cuff about female sexuality and erotica, and thought I would write you to tell you I enjoyed it very much...it was quite a turn on! Just thought I would let you know, email back if you want. -- Cameron"
Cool. I have another fan. That makes, what, 5? she mused as she began to compose her response.
"Cameron,
I just wanted to tell you thanks for taking the time to write and let me know that you enjoyed my article in Off the Cuff. I do extensive research on all of my projects and, thankfully, I've had a lot of experience to base this story on! I'm working on a follow up article that will be of interest to both men and women and it will appear in next week's edition. Thanks again for writing. -- Maria"
A quick proofread and she hit send. Maria then hopped in the shower and started to get ready for work. Not once did she give much thought to the e-mail she just sent.

With a bag of groceries in one arm, Maria fumbled with her keys to her apartment, her cell phone pinched between her shoulder and her ear as she was talking to her editor, Mike.
"Maria, that was a fantastic article you wrote. We've been getting a lot of calls and e-mails from readers about it. Keep up the good work."
"Thanks Mike, that really means a lot to me," she said, nearly dropping the phone while nudging the door open with her foot.
"I need to see you tomorrow so we can go over your ideas for the follow up. I've also got some e-mails that I want you to read."
"Ok. Sounds like a plan. See ya then."
Albert Felinestein, Maria's cat, greeted her at the front door. While preparing dinner, Albert kept her company and then made himself cozy on her desk, waiting patiently for her return.
After dinner, she sat down at her desk to work on her follow-up. She buried herself in her work for hours, compiling a list of the best adult toys and videos, only to become distracted when she heard that she had a new e-mail. Stopping in mid thought, she clicked on the icon to find out what was waiting for her. As she scanned, she spotted a response from Cameron.
"Maria,
Glad to hear back from you, and to hear that you are in the process of writing another article. I can only hope it is as racy as your other works, but I'm sure it will be. I can't get those images you painted with words off my mind. I am not a freak or stalker so I won't keep bugging you with e-mails. It is just refreshing to see a woman that takes an active interest in sexuality, not typecasting it as filth or porn. Anyways, I will let you go. -- Cameron"
Well, he seems nice enough. What the hell, I'll answer him again. I need a bit of a break from working. .
"Cameron,
Thanks again for writing....."
And so goes the story. Over a period of months, they began to exchange emails between each other. She would sometimes write of her life, her past relationships, her work, her hopes and her dreams. He would write about his life, his past relationships, the business he owned, and his own private hopes and dreams that he rarely shared with anyone.
He was the one to break the silence by calling her one night at home. The conversation that night flowed so easily. It was as though they had known each for years, separated in childhood. In a short period of time, the almost daily calls became daily calls and then two or three times a day.
They spoke candidly of what turned them on. Maria found out that Cameron loved to see a woman clad only in a white, men's dress shirt. Cameron learned that Maria was a sucker for hot, soapy showers. The chemistry between them was electric. Neither of them had ever experienced what was taking place before them. Their main hindrances to actually meeting was the fact that they were separated by two hundred and fifty miles and both had jobs that rarely afforded time off.
One night during a particularly "stimulating" conversation, Maria lay in bed while she talked to Cameron. Her mind drifted off to thoughts of how sensual Cameron's soft hands would feel on her naked body. She couldn't stop herself from sliding her hand between her legs and let her fingers do what he said he'd do if he were there with her. She told him she was slowly tracing her fingers across her stomach. That her fingertips danced ever so softly against her caramel colored skin. He heard her breathing increase when she allowed her digits to tease her clit and to probe her wet pussy.
He closed his eyes, envisioning her touching her sex. His body ached for hers. With the phone resting on the pillow, her hands followed Cameron's instructions to the word. When he told her to slip two fingers inside, she did. When he told her to spread her shaved pussy lips apart with one hand and circle her clit with the other, she did. She was captivated by his voice and listening to him made her wet and want him even more. Her breathing and soft moans were driving him mad.
