Kyson

Arya and I had just arrived at our hotel in the city. We drove here, stopping at motels on the way since it takes nearly two days to drive. We could have gotten a flight, but we chose to go by car and enjoy a road trip. Plus, it gave me time to try to get myself together. The party is tonight, and I am dreading it. We were staying here tonight and tomorrow before heading back to the cabin.

“Maybe going tonight isn’t such a good idea.” I sigh as we climb out of the car.

“Yes, it is a good idea! You need to do this for you, Kyson, and to show her you have moved on. I will be right there with you, by your side the entire night.” She says softly.

“I guess…” she has a point, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

I grab our bags from the boot, and we head inside to check-in. We had to hit the shops too because neither of us really had outfits for a party. Our plan, check-in, shower, change and then go out to get what we need. Hopefully, it won’t take too long.

    AryaKyson and I were getting ready for the party. I finally found a dress: a sexy yet classy dark blue strapless dress and a pair of killer heels to match. I can sense Kyson is still freaking out about the entire thing, and rightly so. I just hope it doesn’t get too much for him, and he loses his shit because they aren’t worth it. If his ex even tries to come near him, she will have me to deal with.Kyson is sitting on the bed, already dressed in jeans and a shirt, which is the colour to match my dress. I am in the middle of doing my hair and make-up. I see him watching me in the mirror, smiling.“You are staring, baby boy,” I snicker, smiling back at him.“I can’t help myself. You are beautiful.” He gushes.The heat rises in my cheeks at his sweet compliment. He stands from the bed, coming over to stand behind me. He places his hands on my shoulders, and I tilt my head back, smiling brightly up at him. He leans down, kissing me softly. I happily kiss back. It is sweet and gentle.He

    Kyson Arya and I were outside of the hall where the party was. We have been standing here for the last ten minutes because I have been trying to find the courage to go in. I felt like a pathetic coward. It has been years since it all happened, and I have Arya now, so it shouldn’t be getting to me as much as it is. Arya is being patient with me, something I am grateful for. “I think I am ready now,” I finally say. Arya smiles, kissing me softly, “Okay. Come on then.” She offers her hand to me, which I take. I nod, and we head inside. The place is already full. Some people I know, family members, and others I don’t know. I take a deep breath, and Arya squeezes my hand. I glance around and see Gordon sitting at one of the tables with Lena and some of their friends. A wave of anger took over me, but only for a moment; then, it subsided. “I guess that is them over there?” she whispers. “Yes. Gordon and Lena are over there,” I reply, nodding to where they are. “Ignore them. We should

  • An Unexpected Summer    Chapter Twenty-Five - Who does she think she is?

    Arya We finally find Kyson’s mom sitting at a table with some other family members. I can feel someone watching after us, and I have a feeling who it is. I glance over my shoulder, and Lena is staring. I don’t know if the issue is she regrets what she did to Kyson or if she doesn’t like the fact that he is with someone else. Does she think he was going to spend the rest of his life pining after her? I only met her for a minute, but it was enough to work out I didn’t like her. She doesn’t seem to like me either, but I don’t give a damn. Kyson keeps me close as we approach the table. “Hello, mom.” He says softly. She quickly stops the conversation she was having, turns around and smiles brightly when she sees Kyson standing there. She jumps to her feet, rushing over to hug him tightly. He let go of my hand to hug back. “I have missed you, my boy.” She coos. “I missed you too, mom.” He replies sweetly. I smile at the interaction between them. When they pull apart, she turns her at

It went okay, and we have sorted things out the best we can, but it will never be the way it used to be. The trust and bond are lost we once had.“Hi.” I hear from next to me. I knew exactly who it was. Lena.I sigh and turn to face her, “Hey.” I reply casually.“Can we talk, please?” she asks softly.“Yeah, what do you want to talk about?” I didn’t want to talk to her, but I was curious about what she had to say.“Not here, somewhere a little more private.” She pleads.“No. We talk here or not at all.” I make sure I am firm because I am not going anywhere alone with her.I refuse to upset Arya because I would if she saw me disappear somewhere with only Lena. Lena didn’t look too happy with my suggestion, but she nodded. She steps in a little closer.“I am sorry for what I did. I made a huge mistake, Kyson. I know it has been

    Kyson I pull up outside Arya’s cabin. It is two o’clock in the morning. Our time away hasn’t been so bad. It had been good spending time with family. Not only that but to get some closure too.Arya had fallen asleep. She drove first, and then it was my turn. She crashed out an hour ago. I won’t wake her up. I park the car, grab our things first and put them into the cabin. I head back out, going around to the passenger’s side and opening the door. I undo her seatbelt and scoop her into my arms. Arya groans but doesn’t wake up and snuggles into my chest.I use my foot to close the door, locking it with the key and carry her inside, straight to her bedroom. I lay her down on the bed, slipping her shoes off. She is already in sweatpants and a tee, so she can sleep in them. I bring the covers over her and sit next to her on the side of the bed.I smile, pushing the hair away from her face, “Sweet dreams, my love.” I whisper, kissing her forehead.I took a moment to admire her.

I am sure we can work it out.Kyson would be away for a few hours, so I plan on making the most of it. I take a sip from my glass before getting back to typing. It doesn’t take long for me to become lost in it. My fingers are flying across the keys. I love when I get into this mode.I only stop when I hear a car pull up. Surely Kyson can’t be back already?

I head towards the driver’s window and chap it. When Lena realises it is me, the biggest smile appears on her lips. What the hell is she smiling about? Does she honestly think I would be happy to see her?I step back to let her come out of the car. The second she does, she comes towards me.“Finally, you are home.” She gushes.She tries to close the space between us and kiss me.

We still haven’t discussed what our plan is when we leave here, but we need to. I want to do it today. We need a good place if we want this to work. I have never done the long-distance thing before, so I don’t know how we will cope with it.

  • An Unexpected Summer    Chapter Thirty-Three - I missed you

    Kyson Arya pushes my back against the bed and swiftly rids me off my pants and boxers, tossing them on the floor. She moans when her eyes fall on my fully hardened cock. She licks her lips and dips her head down, flicking her tongue over the tip. I hiss and grip onto the bedding. Fuck I have missed her, everything about her, including her lips wrapped around my cock.Arya doesn’t hesitate to take me all the way in and starts to work her lips along my length.“Fuck, baby, that feels good,” I pant and slip my fingers into her hair.She moans against me and picks up her speed. She inches me out, running her tongue over the tip again and over the base before taking me back in. She is so damn good with her mouth. Arya holds my thigh, and I watch as her head bops up and down, her nails digging into the skin of my legs.My head falls back, and I can feel my climax already building.“I am close, baby,” I pant.Arya hums against me as her nails dig into my thighs.

    Arya I had managed to get an early flight to New York. It has brought me here six hours earlier than planned. Kyson has no idea; it will be a nice surprise for him. I also had another surprise for him. He is away today to meet a friend, so I plan to let myself into his apartment since I know where his spare key is. And when he comes home, I will be in nothing but a sexy red lace baby doll, panties, and heels. I have been craving him so badly since we have been apart. Yes, we have had phone sex and a video session, which were both hot as hell. However, it isn’t the same as being in the same place and being able to feel his touch, his kisses and him inside of me.I am in a cab on the way to his. I had a couple of hours to shower and prepare for him coming home. I had everything I needed in my case. I couldn’t wait to see him. I’ve missed him like crazy, but we don’t need to be apart again since I am here until he moves back with me. It will be amazing! Yes, it will take some adjusting,

    Kyson I am back in New York at my apartment and have been for the last few days. I hated being apart from Arya. I have been miserable since returning because she wasn’t with me. I only have a couple more days left before she joins me here, and we can get things sorted for the move.I know we are moving fast. It has only been two months since we met again, even less time since we officially became a couple. It might seem crazy to some people, but for us, it feels right. That is all that matters. I won’t lie; the entire thing is freaking me out. I have never done well with change. I love Arya more than I have ever loved anyone, and because of that, I know everything will be okay, but I believe it to be natural to be scared.I honestly never thought I would fall in love with anyone again. I planned on staying single and screwing around, but Arya changed everything for me. One of the million reasons why I know she is the one for me. I don’t want anyone else, and if I ever lost her, then I
