Ed grins when he sees the caller ID lighting up his phone. Stede is away to promote his new show and he's had a busy day of press junkets and photoshoots. They haven't gotten the chance to talk yet and Ed misses him. He picks up the phone and Stede speaks before he even has the chance to say hello.

"Ed, are you in bed?" Stede sounds out of breath and Ed thinks he knows exactly what's going on.

"Hello to you too, babe.” Ed says, deliberately lowering his voice the way he knows will drive Stede crazy. He hears a soft gasp from the other side of the line, then the rustling of fabric, followed by a faint thump, like a shirt being thrown on the floor. Jackpot. 

“It sounds like you're having a good time, you miss me over there?" He teases.

"Like you wouldn't believe, sweetheart." Stede whines, before adding on urgently, "are you in bed? I need you to be alone in bed right now, Edward, it's important." Oh, Stede sounds desperate. He's got a feeling he's in for a ride tonight.

"Yes, Stede, I'm alone in bed, missing the fuck out of you."

"Oh, darling, let's switch to video then," Stede says. There’s a few moments of silence and then Ed can’t help but moan at the sight that greets him the moment Stede’s camera turns on. Stede must be calling from his laptop because Ed has a wide-shot view of him sitting in an armchair in his hotel room, shirtless, with his legs splayed wide and one of his hands palming his cunt through his already wet briefs. 

"Fucking hell, love, are you trying to kill me?" Ed gasps out, already feeling himself getting wet under his sweatpants.

Stede lets out a similarly choked sound when his eyes focus on Ed, or specifically, what Ed is wearing.

"Is that my shirt?" 

Ed throws him a soft smile, fiddling with the hem of the shirt. "Like I said, I fucking miss you, Stede." 

"Same here, darling," Stede says with a hint of a whine, "All those interviewers asked me about my favorite scene to shoot or how it felt finally being able to promote the show, which is incredible, of course, but all I could think of was how I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and watch you come undone for me."

Ed's breath hitches. 

"Yeah? And how are you planning to do that?" he says with a smirk.

Stede's growing smile smells like trouble. Oh yes, tonight's going to be fun.

"Remember the toy we got last week?" he asks while his other hand begins to fiddle with his phone. 

Ed moans. He knows exactly what he means. The toy in question is an app-controlled vibrator that they've yet to try out. 

"What do you say to taking it out for a spin, darling?"

"Yeah, fuck, I'll get it out."

Ed rushes to retrieve the toy, a bottle of lube, and a small phone stand they got for exactly this purpose. Ed quickly slides his sweatpants and briefs off but he’s desperate and in a hurry, and he doesn’t want to be away from the sight of Stede for too long , so he doesn’t bother taking off his shirt. Besides, he knows how hot he looks wearing his husband's clothes.

Ed returns to his phone and nearly comes right then and there when he sees that Stede's already taken off his briefs during his hasty search for the vibrator, and he's fucking soaked. Ed can practically taste him through the screen, the phantom weight of Stede's cock on his tongue making him curse the distance between them. Ed quickly sets up the phone stand on the bed and props up his phone, giving Stede a front seat view of his body.

“I’m ready, Stede. Go on, make a mess of me,” he says, grinning at the way Stede shivers at his words. 

"Good. But before we use the toy, I want you to play with yourself for me, can you do that? Show me how you make yourself feel good when I'm not there, love, I want you dripping wet, Edward," Stede says.

Ed whimpers at the request before nodding, always wanting to please Stede. He spreads his legs wider then dips two fingers into his cunt, breath hitching at the intrusion. He slides his fingers out to rub his aching cock before squeezing it, letting out a breathy whine. On the screen, Stede is raptly watching him, his own cunt practically forgotten.

"That's it, Ed, touch yourself for me. I can hear how wet you are, is that all for me?"

Ed strums his cock furiously, feeling himself getting closer and closer to the edge.

"Yes, Stede, all for you, always for you, oh god-" Ed babbles, hips rutting up against his fingers.

"Are you imagining those are my fingers getting you off? Touching you the way you like it?" Stede murmurs and Ed whines as he remembers all the time Stede made him see fucking galaxies with only his fingers and his sweet, filthy words.

"Fuck, sweetheart," he breathes, legs thrashing on the bed. "I'm close, Stede, I- oh, fuckfuckfuck," he moans, high and needy, climbing closer and closer until-

"Come for me, darling," Stede says and Ed's body locks up, groaning as he tumbles over the edge of his orgasm.  

It takes him a few moments to recover, eyes closed as he revels in the aftershocks while Stede murmurs sweet nothings through the phone, saying "you're so fucking beautiful when you come," and "such a good boy for me."

When Ed opens his eyes again, Stede is breathing heavily, watching him with fire in his eyes. Ed swears he can feel Stede’s love and lust even from the other side of the phone.  

“Enjoying the show, babe?” Ed asks, giggling when Stede splutters in surprise and flushes prettily at being caught gawking at him. He’s so fucking adorable it hurts. But then Stede takes a deep breath and his expression morphs, hazel eyes glinting and the corners of his mouth pulled up in a smirk.

“Oh, I’m enjoying it immensely, Edward, but I think that was just the first act, wasn’t it? Do you think you can take more?”

Ed eyes the toy sitting on the bed and his cunt clenches around nothing, aching to be filled. 

“Fuck yeah, Stede, I can take more. Can I put the vibe in now?” Ed asks, voice hitching up with a hint of a whine.

“Yes! Go on, Ed, lube the bad boy up," Stede says with a too-cheery tone that somehow just makes Ed even more turned on.

"Why the fuck does that sound so hot coming from you?" Ed says with a chuckle and Stede just lets out a laugh.

Ed slicks up the vibrator and on the screen he can see Stede fiddling with the app on his phone. Ed’s cunt throbs with anticipation.

"Good boy,” Stede praises when he sees Ed move the bottle of lube aside, the praise making Ed shiver. “Get on your hands and knees for me, now, darling, let me see you."

Ed moves to settle on his hands and knees then sets the phone to the side of the bed, making sure Stede can see all of him on the screen. 

"Remember what to do if you want to stop or slow down?" Stede asks and Ed falls a bit deeper in love with him. Even like this, miles away from each other, Ed's comfort is still his priority.

"I'll say 'red' or snap my fingers twice if I want to stop, 'yellow' or snap my fingers once if I want the toy to stop but still okay to continue." Ed says, smiling when Stede beams at him.

“Good. Are you ready, Ed?”

“I’m ready, babe, I’m ready, please-” Ed doesn’t even know why he's begging, he knows Stede will give him what he needs.

“Okay, put it in for me. Slowly.”

Ed spreads his legs wider and slowly inserts the toy, breathing heavily as he adjusts to the size of it. The internal part of the toy sits snugly against the perfect spot inside him and the external stimulator rests against his cock.    

Ed pauses for a moment, acclimating to the sensation of being so deliciously full.

He hears Stede moan from the other side of the line and he opens his eyes- he doesn't even realize he'd closed them- to see him. Stede seems to have remembered his own needs now because his legs are splayed even wider and he's using two fingers to play with his cock. 

"Aren't you beautiful like this? All spread out and ready for me? God, I love you," Stede says when he notices Ed looking. 

"I love you too, but I swear to fuck if you don't do something soon I will die, Stede," Ed replies, wiggling his hips in an attempt to remind Stede of the task at hand. 

"Well we don't want that, do we? That'll certainly put a damper on the overall vibes of our marriage," Stede says. Ed snorts a laugh, only Stede would call his potential death by blue-balls a "damper on the vibes." 

"Yeah, so fucking do someth– shit, " Ed's cut off by a moan when Stede suddenly turns on the vibrations. They’re powerful, wrenching moans of pleasure out of him as the sensation rocks his body, but Ed needs more.

“How’s that, darling? Is it good?” Stede asks, holding the phone close to him like he’s poised to stop the vibrations the second Ed feels uncomfortable, or increase them.

“ More, Stede, I need more,” he groans and braces himself when he sees Stede’s smirk grow on his handsome fucking face at the request.

“Oh yeah? How much do you need it, Edward?”

Ed whines, hips rocking into the toy to chase his pleasure, but falling short. It’s simply not enough. “Stede, please-”

“That’s it, my love, beg for it.”

"Please, please, please Stede-" Ed begs, always eager to do what Stede wishes.

"Please what, Edward?"

"It's not-" his breath catches, "it's not enough, I need more, Stede, please give me more," 

"That wasn't so hard now, was it?" Stede says with a smile. "You're so good for me, Ed, and good boys get what they fucking want." 

Stede pushes a button on the app and the vibrations increase tenfold. Ed fists the sheets under him, back arching with the pleasure coursing through him.

" Shit, darling, you look so good like this, wearing my shirt and a vibrator that I control," Stede says and Ed nods frantically. 

"You're so desperate for me, aren't you? You just want to be used and taken apart." 

Without any warning Stede turns the vibrations even higher and Ed sobs, one arm shooting up to clutch the headboard. He's nearly incoherent, too far gone to say anything in reply other than "yes," and "Stede," and "please, more."

"I can't wait to go home and do this again when I can touch you and kiss you the way you deserve," Stede continues murmuring filth down the line and Ed groans, cunt clenching harder around the toy with the thought of Stede's lips and fingertips touching him while he's desperate and exposed like this. 

Stede doesn't relent, just turns the vibrations even higher and Ed nearly screams, feeling his climax build hotly inside him. His arms can't hold him up anymore so his head collapses onto the pillows under him, hips bucking wildly and hands clutching at the sheets.

“You’re so fucking deep, love,” Ed says with a breathy whine, "I'm so close, so close, Stede, please–" he doesn't even know what he's begging for anymore, mindless with heat and pleasure. 

But Stede knows. Stede always knows what he needs.

"When I get home I'll spread you out and put the toy in you, maybe slip my fingers in too, hmm?" 

Ed wails, eyes rolling back at the mental image.

"You like that, darling? You like the idea of me fucking you so deep with both the toy and my fingers?" Stede asks, and Ed can only whimper. 

"I will do it, you know, I'll fuck you so hard and I won't stop until I feel you fucking squirt on my hand." 

And with that, Ed is gone. His body locks up and his mouth opens in a silent scream, succumbing to the tsunami of pleasure that's bursting through him, and he moans when he feels a jet of liquid stream around the toy and down his thighs.

Ed snaps his fingers once, signaling Stede to turn off the toy. Stede murmurs sweet nothings as he turns the vibrations off and Ed slumps down on the bed, catching his breath before turning his head to focus on Stede.

"All good, Edward?" Stede asks.

"All good, babe," Ed replies, "but you haven't come yet, haven't you? Go on then, your turn now, fuck yourself for me."

On the screen Stede begins to furiously fucking himself with two fingers, his thumb rubbing tight circles on his cock. He’s letting out desperate, choked whimpers and his legs are beginning to tremble. Ed knows he’s close, but Stede always needs a little extra push to let go. 

“You're so fucking hot like this, Stede, and you made feel so good, always making me feel so fucking good," he says, relishing in Stede's breathy little whine. 

"Use your other hand too, Stede, go on," he urges. Stede complies, sliding one hand down his front to jerk off his cock in tandem with the fingers already fucking his cunt. Stede lets out a moan and spreads his legs even wider, giving Ed a perfect view of his flushed chest and his frantic, desperate fingers.

"That's it, sweetheart, you're so fucking close aren't you?" 

"Yes, Ed, please, I-" Stede moans, hips wildly bucking into his hands.

"Go on, Stede, let go now. Come for me."

Stede throws his head back with a guttural groan, fingers still working as he comes, back arching beautifully off of the chair.

He slumps back down in his chair after a while and pulls his fingers out before grabbing a kleenex from the coffee table. 

Meanwhile Ed sits up and props himself up against the pillows. He reaches down and gingerly pulls out the toy, whimpering at the overstimulation. He sets it aside on the bed, making a mental note to wash it and change the sheets later. He picks up the phone from the little stand and smiles at Stede.

"Hi," he says softly, like he didn't just get his world rocked by the hot lunatic on the other side of the call.

Stede melts. "Hi, Ed. How was it? Did you like it?

"You fucking know I liked it, made me come so hard I saw heaven, love. Definitely can't wait for us to do that again once you get home. How was it for you?"

"Seeing you like that– you're fucking exquisite, Ed. Buzz was definitely our best purchase yet, I've never seen you squirt like that before," Stede says, breathless after coming down from his high. 

Ed laughs, "One, I don't think I've ever squirted in my life, so that's a first. Two, 'Buzz?' Is that what you've decided to name our app-controlled vibrator?" 

"He's purple and he takes us to infinity and beyond. It's the perfect name for him." Stede says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. 

There's a moment of silence where Ed just gapes at him before he completely loses it, his body shaking with peals of laughter. Stede looks so smug and it just sets him off further. 

"Dickfuck, Stede, that's the worst joke I've ever heard in my life, don't you ever change." 

"I certainly wouldn't if it gets you laughing like that." 

And that's exactly why Ed's so hopelessly in love with this man. Stede makes him laugh harder than anyone he’s ever met, and he can't even remember being as happy as Stede makes him since he  burst into his life with his golden hair and bitchy retorts. He doesn't realize he's been silently staring at Stede with a lovestruck grin until Stede pulls him out of his besotted reverie.

"Ed? What's that look for?" Stede asks with an adorable fucking frown.

"I fucking love you, you know?"

"I know. And for the record, I fucking love you too."
