The telephone rang only twice before he picked it up, his promptness causing a slight smile to settle on the caller's face.

"Hello, Kat. How did the operation go?"

The husky purr in his voice caused the blonde teen to chuckle. "Hey. The operation went fine. Shizuka gets the bandages off in a few days. So what are ya doin' that has ya soundin' so turned on? As if I didn't know."

A sound, which might have been a snort if it had come from a lessor being, was followed by the expected response. "I'd hardly call it that. In fact, I wouldn't even be willing to consider myself mildly excited. How could I be when it's been three days, two hours and twenty seven minutes since I last saw you?"

The blonde teen chuckled again and leaned back against the pillows on his bed. "So... you're missin' me huh? I was hopin' ya would be. That's why I called. I thought maybe we could have some fun tonight. But if you're not feelin' 'up' to it..."

"I never said I wasn't. In case you have forgotten, just hearing your voice is enough to get me aching."

The words earned the speaker a wicked smile that was echoed in the blonde teen's voice. "Nope, I didn't forget. I was kinda countin' on it to get ya in the mood to play."

"I've been in the mood since the first word you spoke." The low purr was edged with excitement, laughter and lust.

The blonde teen laughed, his voice also becoming husky as the sound of his lover brought to mind all sorts of wonderful memories. He spoke slowly, teasingly, his hand stroking the bed's soft sheet as if he was petting something else entirely. "Well that's good to hear! Although, I guess I won't need the bit of news I was gonna tell ya, if ya needed convincin'."

"You could have called me in the middle of that infernal five hour meeting I had today and your voice would still have been enough to get me in the mood." There was a hint of irritation in the voice now and the blonde teen frowned at it.

"Tough day with the merger guys, Dragon?" He spoke the nickname deliberately, his lips curving into a fond smile as he waited for the reaction he was certain his question would get.

He knew his Dragon. He wasn't the CEO of Kaiba Corp. for money or glory, or even the adrenaline rush that seeing a competitor cornered could bring. No, his Dragon was in it purely for the challenge, and there was no greater challenge than closing a deal after hours of delicate negotiation and some prettily phrased threats.

"Yes, but it was successful. I'll be coming home tomorrow."

It took a second for the words to register, then the late night silence of the mansion's main bedroom was broken by a loud cheer.

The blonde teen immediately winced and looked around wildly. Finally spotting the phone on the other side of the bed, where he'd accidentally thrown it in his excitement, he pounced on it.

Picking up the phone again, he was in time to hear the no-longer-quite-so-rare sound of Seto Kaiba laughing. "Sorry about that. I... dropped the phone. You're really comin' home?" As he listened to his lover's confirmation, Katsuya Jounouchi settled back against the pillows of the bed he and Seto Kaiba had been sharing for the past two months and smiled happily.

"Seto, that's great! By this time tomorrow, we'll be screamin' each others' names." He smiled dreamily at the thought. "That just leaves one question."

Jou's brown eyes sparkled with mischief as he parted his legs, his hand stroking down over his bare chest and belly until it reached its destination. He moaned softly as his fingers wrapped around his hard shaft, then smiled wickedly. "Can ya guess what I'm doin' right now?"
