Chapter 15
One Month Later
Will
Ever since Ella had come home for the summer, she had been watching Avery for me almost every day. The summertime was always a struggle since school was out, but I felt more comfortable leaving him with her than some daycare I knew he wouldn’t feel comfortable at. Even though Ella had been around almost every day, there was no dating, no flirting, and absolutely no sex. In fact, Ella had been increasingly distant from me, just showing up in the morning and then leaving in the evening without much dialogue between us.
I had found myself in a really tough situation. When I stopped things between Ella and me, I had been completely confused, not knowing whether I wanted her or the idea of her. After that, though, I almost immediately realized how wrong I had been. I did want her in my life, and Avery’s life for that matter. The entire last month had made me even more dissatisfied and less focused than I had been before I ever started anything with Ella. It took hold of my mind all day, at work and outside it, and when I was around her, I found myself searching for the right words.
It was finally Friday, which meant I wouldn’t need a babysitter. On top of that, my mother had come down and picked Avery up, taking him to her house for the weekend. That was always Avery’s favorite thing to do on the weekends, but I could tell he was a little sad to be leaving Ella, which pulled at my heart a bit. Before she had left for the day, I had asked her to come back over after Avery was gone so that we could chat. I needed to get her alone so I could attempt to fix what I had royally screwed up. When she got there, I smiled and led her into the living room, offering her something to drink, but she refused politely.
“I wanted to have you here to tell you just how grateful I am that you have been watching Avery,” I said. “He has been in a fragile state for a while now, and having him home, safe, and in the hands of someone he trusts makes me feel a lot better than if I had dropped him at a daycare. Having you here to watch him has really simplified things for me and allowed me to work more efficiently and not have to worry about whether my son is in good hands or not. It has made things so much easier for me and for Avery. I hope it has done some of those things for you, too.”
“It’s really not a problem,” she said politely. “I really care about Avery, and I am happy I can be here to make sure he stays safe when you can’t be around.”
“We are really going to miss you when you go back to school,” I replied.
“Yes, well, I will miss him, too,” she said, diverting the conversation back to Avery.
“Look,” I said, leaning forward. “I really need to be open and honest with you.”
“All right,” she said, shifting in her seat. “Hit me with it.”
“I miss being with you,” I said bluntly. “This last month has been extremely lonely, and I haven’t been able to get you off my mind, even when I know it is imperative for me to do so.”
“Well, I don’t know what you want me to say to that,” she said, anger in her voice. “If you remember correctly, you are the one who broke everything off with me. I’m sorry I have been distant, but this is my job right now, and I can leave the personal stuff behind. In fact, I think it is best for both of us if I do so. I mean, I don’t think I have to remind you that you are the one who pushed me away to begin with. You are the one who cut things off, telling me it was better for us if we just stopped what we were doing.”
“Look, I know that what I did was a complete mistake,” I said. “I got overwhelmed by everything going on, and I was trying to make sure you didn’t get hurt.”
“I don’t know,” she said angrily. “To me it seemed like you were trying your best to make sure you didn’t get hurt.”
“That is not true, Ella,” I said, defending myself. “I cared enough to know when I wasn’t sure if I could give you what you were going to want from me if we continued on the path we were on. I was trying to protect you from getting hurt.”
“I can’t hide it anymore,” she said, shaking her head. “I have feelings for you. I tried not to, but I do. They are blatantly there all the time for me. I never really questioned them, but you did.”
“I never forced you into any of this,” I said, avoiding talking about my feelings. “I never led you on in any way, not even in the beginning. I was open and honest about what I thought I might be capable of.”
“Yeah, well, it didn’t seem to work,” she said, standing up. “I just—”
I walked straight to her and put my hand around the back of her neck, pulling her hard into my kiss. My mouth moved wildly over hers, and although she stiffened at first, her muscles slowly relaxed and she leaned into me. When I pulled away from her, I looked down into her eyes.
“I think that kiss shows you all you need to know because words are cheap,” I whispered. “Actions always speak louder.”
She reached down and took my hand, tugging me toward my room. We went inside and shut the door behind us. As soon as our eyes met, we reached for each other, our hands moving all over the other as our tongues swirling wildly together. Any bit of anger that had been there quickly turned into passion, and neither of us could control ourselves.
I reached down and untucked Ella’s shirt from her shorts before pulling it up and over her head. I kissed her neck as I dropped it onto the floor. My hands immediately went back up and unclasped her bra, letting her perky tits bounce out into my hands. I dipped my head down and sucked on her nipples hard, feeling her breathing intensify. She pulled at the buttons on my shirt until it was undone and then tossed it across the room. As I fiddled with her pants, she tried to take off mine until we switched and quickly stripped ourselves down. I pulled my boxers off, watching as she peeled her silk thong from her body and stood naked in front of me. I took a deep breath, feeling my cock harden so much that it was almost painful.
I rushed toward her and squeezed her tits hard as my mouth sucked on her bottom lip. She moaned into my mouth as we crashed into one another, the pain turning to pleasure and the lust rising by the second. I smoothed my hand down her body and cupped her wet mound, massaging it as I backed her up toward the bed. She hit it and fell backward, me trailing right behind her. I quickly spread her legs and, lying next to her, began to finger her hard and fast. She let out a loud moan as she picked her hips up off the bed and let me in.
“Yes,” she gasped.
She looked down, watching as I bit my lip and moved my arm forward and back as fast as I could, her juices flowing over my hand. I put my other hand on her clit and began to swirl circles around the hard nub. She arched her back and shook her head as she reached up and grabbed the bedspread above her. She continued to rotate her hips against my hand as her body stiffened, readying herself for the orgasm that was racing toward her.
As my thumb moved faster against her clit, she screamed out quietly and then took in a deep breath and held it, coming hard on my hand. I watched her writhe and twitch from the feeling of my hand and knew this was not going to be her only orgasm. This was only the beginning. Before she had even untensed from the orgasm, I scooted down and off the bed, pulled her forward against the edge, and spread her lips wide. Her pussy glimmered from the flowing juices, and I looked up, smiling, before diving my head down and licking her from top to bottom.
She squirmed and wiggled on the bed, but she wasn’t going to get away from this one. I reached up and pushed her down before returning to my previous position with my hand on her clit. My tongue fluttered up through her juices, and then I pulled my head up and began to rub her clit hard and fast. Her eyes flew open, and she looked like she was struggling to keep herself from exploding all over again.
“I want you to come again,” I whispered. “Right now.”
With that, I rubbed her clit as fast and hard as I possibly could. She was so frozen that she couldn’t say a word. Her body flailed around, trying to fight the urge to come again, but it looked as if the rolling orgasm was starting to take over. I smiled as she reached down and gripped my hand, her body convulsing as the orgasm that floated just at the edge took hold and threw her body into another dimension of pleasure. I let her hand stop mine, but I didn’t take it away. I liked exploring her body. When she calmed a bit, I stroked my cock and climbed up on top of her.
Slowly, I moved my shaft through her juices and pushed in. She gasped, her body exhausted. I hooked her trembling thighs over my arms and held on to her thighs, pushing my cock in slowly before pulling it almost all the way back out. She lay there moaning softly as our bodies collided. She sighed deeply, and her nipples hardened even more than before. I unhooked her legs and leaned over her, looking deep into her eyes.
I began to push faster, finding myself at the edge, needing her, wanting her, wanting that release I had been thinking about for over a month. She reached her arms up and let out a deep breath, tilting her head back and closing her eyes. She spread her legs farther apart, giving me even more depth than I already had. I knew I couldn’t hold back any longer, and I didn’t even try.
I grabbed her thighs and pushed deep inside, leaning over and pressing my mouth against hers as I groaned loudly, letting the orgasm take hold and wash over my body. The feeling of my cock pulsating against her pussy was arousing, and I gripped down, feeling myself release deep inside her. It was sensual and erotic as she wrapped her legs around my waist, intertwining our bodies.
When it was all over with, I lay there next to Ella, holding her tightly in my arms and attempting to recover. It felt absolutely amazing to have her so close to me, to feel us building a connection. It didn’t take long for us to fall asleep.
