They were silent for a few minutes. Harper was already fast asleep because it was past her bedtime already and Derek realized that he should probably leave so that Ava could get some sleep as well."I should probably be leaving now," Derek said, getting up and stretching luxuriously. One day, in the near future, he hoped he wouldn’t have to leave Ava and Harper at the end of the day anymore, but for now, he would do whatever it was that made Ava comfortable and happy.Ava stared at his rippling muscles as he stretched, remembering all too vividly how hard and silky they used to feel under her hands. Damn! This was becoming even more difficult to bear.Shaking herself, she got up with him, so that she could walk him to the door, even though he had come here so many times that there was no need for that anymore and he could see himself out.With each day that passed, she fell more and more in love with Derek. As for him, she couldn’t tell how he felt because he acted the way he normall
Derek’s lips were just as delicious as Ava remembered them to be all those years ago when she last kissed him. She didn’t think she could ever get enough of them.At first, only their lips were touching, and Derek kept his hands to himself, still trying to give her the option of pulling away if that was what she wanted, but when Ava moaned into his mouth, he lost all control.He grabbed her suddenly by the waist, causing her to gasp into his mouth in surprise, and pulled her hard against his body. It was the hottest thing that Ava had ever encountered, and it caused her nether regions to throb almost unbearably.The kiss began to get more and more intense, until Derek groaned into her mouth, pushed her away, and looked at her with desire-filled eyes. She could tell he was about to apologize for kissing her, so she raised a finger to his lips to shush him. She had to stand on tiptoe to do that."Don't apologize, Derek ... unless you didn't want to kiss me.""Are you kidding, Ava? Kissi
Finally, he decided to have mercy on her and took the nipple in his mouth, sucking it gently, until she was writhing in his arms. Then he did the same for the other nipple.He alternated between the both of them, bringing her immense pleasure in a way that no other man had ever brought her.He did that for a while, and then he moved with her toward the closest wall in the room and made her lean against it. Then he squatted in front of her, and went to town with his head between her legs, working wonders with his oh-so-talented tongue.At this point, Ava was certain that she was going to go crazy. Never in her life had she been this turned on, and she had to cum right at that moment, no matter what.It seemed that Derek knew exactly what she wanted, because he began to expertly lap up her clit in that way he knew she loved, as though it was the last food on earth and he was a starving man.Ava moaned through it all, chanting his name over and over, and grabbing onto his head and shoulde
Ava unsuccessfully tried to tamp down the feeling of disappointment that engulfed her when she saw the empty space beside her.Why did Derek leave without telling her? With how intimate they were the previous night, she had been hoping that they would spend the morning together.After all, it wasn’t like he had to go to work today, or even any day if he didn’t want to, for that matter.It occurred to her that he could be with Harper, after all, Ava had woken up late. So she got out of bed, put on her robe, and padded out in search of him.Her whole body ached, but in a pleasurable way, and thinking about how the night went made her want to relive everything again.Derek wasn’t in the living room with Harper, however, and a quick check of Harper’s bedroom showed that the little girl was still fast asleep and alone.Ava checked around for a note but didn’t find any either. A quick look outside showed that Derek's car was no longer parked in her driveway, meaning he had indeed left.For
"I know, and I'm sorry for immediately assuming the worst. It’s just … you know … this is going to take some time to adjust to … um, well I …” Ava trailed off, her cheeks turning pink in embarrassment, especially because Derek looked a little hurt, but was trying to hide it.She couldn’t help how she felt though, and she knew that it was going to take a while and a lot of convincing before she was able to trust Derek on matters like this.Her heart was always on guard, and anticipating that his behavior could change at any time. That way, if it finally did, she would be prepared.“That’s okay. Of course, I understand. It’s not a problem at all. Anyway, away with you. Harper and I are going to prepare breakfast, and we need some space to ourselves, so you have to leave. You can go sit in front of the television with a glass of wine in your hand or something.” Derek told her, grabbing a bottle of wine and a glass and leading her out of the kitchen.Ava was only too happy to go. She sat
"Victoria didn't deserve that. Hell, no one deserves such a thing. I should have tried harder to get her to leave him, and things wouldn't have escalated the way they did. As a matter of fact, I still feel terribly guilty even after all these years because I didn't take her as seriously as I should have taken her that night. I figured it was just one of their regular quarrels, not knowing that it was far more serious and a matter of life and death this time around." Derek finished, his gaze far away."I'm sorry to say this, Derek, but I believe you have a savior complex. You know, it ...""Ouch!""Well, it's the truth. You did it for years with your sister, but the truth is that you can't save everyone. From this story you just told me, you tried your best to ask Victoria to leave Steve, and that even caused Steve to hate you. You shouldn't be carrying all this guilt around with you. You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. It sounds harsh, but it's the truth. If there's a
"Oh? What's that?" Ava asked, feigning ignorance."I'm asking what you think about us getting back together. It's probably too soon to ask again, but I just wanted to remind you to think about it. I can't imagine anything better than you, Harper, and I living together as one happy family." Derek told her, meaning every single word."I think it's still too soon. You promised to give me time to think about it." Ava replied uneasily. She didn't want to make a costly mistake by moving too fast, which was what moving in with him so soon was going to be."You're right, I did. How about the house I gave to you and Harper? Perhaps you could move in there? It's in a really secure neighborhood ... more secure than this one, that's for sure. At least, let's compromise on that, if nothing else." Derek told her.He could tell that she was uncomfortable with his first question, which was why he changed the topic.The last thing he needed was for her to feel pressured into getting back togeth
Steve was a huge mess. There was no other way to put it. On the outside, he wore a smile for his fans and went about his business every day as though everything was perfect.However, everything was far from perfect, and for the past few days now, he had been a sniveling, slobbering, and terrified mess on the inside. He wasn't usually the type to believe in Karma, but he had abruptly changed his mind in the past few days because his past had come back to haunt him and if care wasn’t taken, he would watch everything he had struggled to build over the years crumble into dust.Apparently, the phrase 'karma is a dish best served cold' was true as hell, because it had taken her all this while, but Karma had eventually gotten around to knocking on his door.He came back to himself and realized that he had simply stood under the shower for hours, while he thought about the best way to get out of the predicament in which he currently found himself, while the water ran cold.Unfortunately, no
