Evan couldn't help but chuckle as he gazed at Avery, who had fallen asleep on their way to his place. Her small mouth was slightly open, and drool had formed on her thigh. Her backpack, still clutched tightly to her chest, held an empty bottle of strawberry drink. Evan took the bottle along with her backpack and hesitated as he opened it to find another empty bottle inside. He shook his head in disbelief and tossed both bottles aside.
"I guess I have to take you inside myself," Evan thought, carrying Avery out of the car in his arms. He used the elevator to reach the top floor, where the housekeeper had prepared a room for Avery. Evan laid her gently on the bed, dropped her backpack beside her, and left for work. By the time Avery opened her eyes, it was already dark outside. She was shocked to find herself in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by cream-colored walls and a round portable rug in front of a king-sized bed. The sheets were a light pink color, which made her wonder what kind of man would choose such a shade. As she stood up, Avery's eyes traveled around the room, taking in the opulence. The walk-in closet caught her attention, and she slid open the door, revealing racks upon racks of luxury clothing and shelves piled high with feminine shoes and jewelry. Her jaw dropped in stunned silence. "Wow!" she exclaimed, her voice barely above a whisper. "What is this place?" She murmured to herself, hesitant to get closer to the designer items that still had their tags attached. Avery returned to sit on the bed, her phone already in hand. The realization dawned on her that it was past 7 p.m.—Evan could arrive at any moment now. Her heart began to race as she thought about what lay ahead. Tonight would be her first night losing her virginity—a secret she had kept for her future husband—and she was losing it to a stranger she had only seen on TV a couple of times. Janet, Natalie's mother, knocked on the door before pushing it open. "Avery! What are you doing here? Where is Monica?" she asked urgently. "You need to leave quickly; if Master sees you here, he'll be furious." Avery hesitated before answering, "I guess he was the one who brought me here himself. We were in the car together, and then I fell asleep... and woke up here." Janet's expression turned concerned. "What about Monica?" she asked, and Avery realized Natalie hadn't told her mother the truth yet. "Aunty, actually, Monica and her boyfriend ran off with Mr. Benson's money he gave us, and I had no choice but to take her place," Avery said, her voice trembling slightly. "I need to pay for my mom's hospital bills." Janet's face fell, filled with sympathy. "Oh dear! You're so young, Avery. You're friends with Natalie. Are you sure about this?" She paused, searching for alternatives. "We can find another way." Avery smiled bitterly, her eyes clouding over. "Don't worry, Aunty. I'm sure I can handle this. I already signed the agreement, and even if there's a way to opt out of it, it would take years to come up with both Mr. Benson's money and my mom's hospital bills." Janet wrapped her in a warm hug. "Oh dear!" She felt so bad for little Avery going through such tough times; after all, she had watched Natalie and Avery grow up together. As they parted, Avery asked, "Aunty, what am I supposed to do?" Janet handed her a bag filled with toiletries. "Just make sure you're thoroughly cleaned up and put this on before going to see him," she said, nodding toward another bag on the bed. "His room is next door; it's the only other room on this floor besides yours." Avery nodded confidently, feeling a sense of resignation wash over her. ******** Evan unlocked his door and stepped into his room, running himself a bath. As he emerged with wet hair and a towel wrapped around his waist, he opened the bottle of wine he'd drunk the night before and poured himself a glass. He sat down, shutting his eyes as he took a sip. The sound of a knock on the door made his eyes snap open. "Come in," he called out lazily. Avery entered, her legs trembling with each step. She stopped 10 feet away from him, her eyes fixed on his face. Evan scanned her from head to toe, a growl creeping up his face as he took in her bathrobe-clad form. "Come closer," he beckoned, his legs crossing over each other. Avery took slow steps toward him until she was right in front of him. Evan sat up straight, his eyes locked on hers. "What are you wearing?" he asked, his voice low and husky. "Bathrobe," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Evan's eyes narrowed. "I have eyes, Avery. Tell me quickly why you're wearing that." As Avery stood before Evan, she felt a surge of shame wash over her. Something about being caught off guard by Evan's sudden demand left her feeling exposed. She slowly reached for the bathrobe's tie, her hands trembling as she untied it. The black Lacey lingerie underneath was given to her by Janet. Now, as Evan's gaze traveled from her neck to her breasts, Avery felt anything but confident. Evan's expression remained impassive, but his eyes seemed to burn with an inner intensity as he pulled the bathrobe away from her. Avery placed a hand over her chest, feeling vulnerable as he gazed at her. The lingerie was designed for easy access, with holes in the necessary parts. Avery felt a shiver run down her spine as Evan raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on her breast before moving downward. "Take your hands off!" he growled, his voice low and commanding. Avery reluctantly removed them, feeling a flutter in her chest as Evan's eyes roamed over her body. He seemed pleased with what he saw. "Climb onto the bed and lie down straight," he ordered, his voice firm but controlled.Avery tardily climbed onto the bed and lay down on her back, as he had instructed. Evan then crawled onto the bed and lowered his face to her neck, taking in the fresh, soothing scent of her shower gel.The young lady trembled on the bed, her eyes tightly shut. Her long lashes quivered, and the sheets were gathered in her palms, which were tightly closed."You've never been touched before?" Evan whispered softly into her ear.Avery nodded immediately, hoping he'd let her go, but instead it only fueled his desires to have her here and now."Acceptable!" He said it in a husky voice, his gaze lingering on her soft pink lips as he realized she had probably never been kissed before either.He lowered his face, and his lips locked against hers. Avery's eyes went wild as Evan sucked on her lower lip desperately.He drove his tongue straight into her little virgin mouth, exploring every corner. Avery almost passed out, feeling suffocated during this process, as she didn't know how to control
Avery walked into the school, still reeling from Evan's words, when someone grabbed her arm from behind out of nowhere. She flinched in fright.Fortunately, it was Natalie, who had already prepared to throw a punch at the person's face. Her fist hovered mid-air as Natalie stared at her with a mixture of surprise and concern.Avery cleared her throat and kept her hand down. "I'm sorry, I thought it was one of those guys from our class," she said heavily, her voice laced with embarrassment."It's fine," Natalie replied. "Are you okay?"Avery nodded and glanced at her phone. "It's almost time for class. We should get moving, or Mr. Martinez will be furious," she said, quickening her pace.Natalie caught up with Avery, her brow furrowed in concern. "Are you sure you're fine? Did something happen with Mr. Benson?"Avery stopped in her tracks and turned around to face Natalie. She let out a deep sigh and pulled Natalie towards the janitor's closet. Inside, she turned on the light and buried
Avery's eyelids flickered open, the bright morning light piercing through the blinds and making her wince. She lay there for a moment, trying to shake off the lingering fatigue from last night's activities. As she slowly sat up, she winced again, her body protesting the movement.She glanced around her room, taking in the familiar surroundings. Her bed was a mess, with clothes scattered everywhere. She must have had a rough night.Avery's thoughts turned to last night's events. She couldn't believe she'd lost her virginity at such a young age. If someone had told her she'd be in this situation, she wouldn't have believed it.She felt a pang of sadness wash over her. She thought about her mom, who was still recovering from her illness. Avery hoped she'd recover soon so they could hang out together like old times.With a heavy heart, Avery got out of bed and began getting ready for the day. As Avery walked through the crowded hallway, she couldn't help but scroll through her phone, her
Avery paced back and forth in the dimly lit hospital hallway, her heart pounding in her chest like it might burst at any moment. She tried to reach her sister on the phone, but Monica didn't answer."Monica, please come on, pick up," Avery muttered desperately, her eyes shut tightly.Just as she was about to lose hope, the call finally connected. Monica's voice came through, laced with sarcasm."Avery, do you really think I'm going to ruin my life for some guy I barely know?" she laughed.Avery's expression darkened slightly as she listened. "What are you saying? That you're just going to bail on everyone at the last minute?"Monica's laughter echoed through the phone line. "Oh, dear, sweet Avery, that's your own problem to worry about. I'm not coming back."Avery's voice rose in anger. "Are you out of your mind? You're just going to leave Mom and me like we're nothing to you?"The line fell silent for a moment before Monica spoke again. "I'm already at the airport with Matthew. We're
Avery swallowed hard, her mind racing with uncertainty as she weighed her options. At 18 and a virgin, agreeing to the surrogacy arrangement felt overwhelming, especially given her final year of high school. But the prospect of benefiting her mother's health by settling her medical bills was tempting.As she considered Evan's proposal, she thought about the benefits it would bring. She would also gain financial security, which could improve her mother's care. Her body quivered slightly as she thought about the implications.Avery looked up at Evan, searching for any sign that he was hiding something. His expression remained calm and reassuring, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to this arrangement than met the eye.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Avery drew in a sharp breath and spoke. "Deal," she said finally.Evan nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Great! I'll send the new contract papers to you as soon as they're ready. My lawyer wil
At Bright High School,"You're late today," Natalie whispered softly as Avery took the seat beside her."I know," Avery said, still feeling the lingering effects of her sleepless night. "I couldn't fall asleep until this morning.""Did he get back to you?" Natalie asked, concern etched on her face."Not yet," Avery replied, unzipping her backpack and pulling out her English textbook. "I kept checking my phone all night, but nothing."The teacher caught her attention this time and shot her a threatening glare. "Avery Daniels, would you like to share with the class?" she announced.Avery quickly shook her head, feeling a surge of embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hunt," she mumbled.The rest of the class passed in a blur for Avery, her mind drifting back to Evan and the unanswered message on her phone. The bell finally rang, signaling the end of the school day, and Avery gathered her things with a sense of relief.As they walked out of school, Natalie fell into step beside her. "He's a bu
