“David, this is wrong.”
He let out a loud sigh feeling puzzled by her.
“You keep doing this to me. I have wanted you since the first night we were here together. You know that.”
“I know, and I’m sorry. Saturday you’re going to be my stepbrother. Do you want this between us?”
“I’ll take whatever I can get from you. I want you so much it hurts.”
“But what about after? I go back to New York, and you are here. That isn’t the only issue, and you know that. I don’t want you to be hurt.”
“I just told you I would take whatever you give to me.”
He took her by the hand and started to lead her into her bedroom, but she pulled back against him.
“What’s the matter?”
“Can we please go to your bedroom?” She didn’t want to have sex with him in the bedroom that Xander had made love to her.
He took her to his bedroom and closed the door. He turned to her and began to kiss her lips without using his tongue. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he sucked on her earlobe and used his tongue to trail down her neck. He stopped at the pulse in her throat to gently suck. Then he continued down to her shoulder, biting it through the fabric of her shirt. He moved aside the placket of her collar to kiss her upper chest working his way to the top of her cleavage.
She was beginning to feel heated as he continued using only his lips and tongue to stimulate her. He bunched her hair into his hand and gave it a slight tug so she would lift her head exposing the soft underside of her chin so he could suck and nibble on it. Then he went to work on her other earlobe, sucking it and running his tongue around the perimeter of her ear.
She ran her hands through his thick hair and kneaded the base of his neck and shoulders as he continued his descent with his lips. He reached under the back of her shirt to caress the soft skin of her lower back, and he used his fingers to flirt with the waistband of her pants. Then he moved his lips back to hers and began to kiss her deeply and passionately, using the tip of his tongue to rim the edge of her lips.
He backed off to remove his shirt and then hers. Then he pressed his bare chest against her so he could feel her breasts against him, holding her tight. He backed her against the bed, and when she felt it against her legs, she sat down. David kneeled in front of her, pushing her legs open so he could move in between them. Then he started to kiss her breasts through the soft cloth of her bra. He cupped, than kneaded the flesh with his fingers, sucking her nipples as they became erect.
He reached behind her, unclasped her bra and instead of pulling it off he pushed it above her breasts and against her chest. He drew in a breath as he viewed her naked flesh. He had gotten a glimpse of them back in New York, but this was so much better. He sucked and kissed one nipple, then the other finally removing her bra, which he threw on the bed next to her.
He removed her socks and massaged her soft feet, kissing the tops of them and placing her leg on his shoulder so he could work his way up. He let her leg down and unbuttoned her slacks. She stood up and unzipped them, letting them fall to the floor, then stepped out of them and lay on the bed in just her panties.
His cock was painful as it strained against his pants. He had removed them before he got on the bed next to her. She reached for him, but he pushed her away telling her that she could touch him when he had satisfied her. His words made her shiver.
He next got between her legs and kissed her stomach, sucking on her navel and biting at the tender skin. She moaned as he reached up to pinch her nipples while he kissed her belly. Then he teased her by pushing her waistband down slightly. She bucked in response. David kissed her inner thighs and nibbled at the flesh. She was mad with desire by this time. He was teasing her, and she wanted him to fuck her. But he had no intention of fucking her yet, at least not with his cock.
He curled his fingers in her waistband and tugged while she lifted her hips so he could remove her panties. She was now naked, and he could see how wet she was. He wanted to taste her, and he kissed either side of her outer lips before he dipped his tongue in her. She moaned loudly. He opened her with his fingers and stroked his tongue up her until he pressed against her clit. She spread her legs wide remembering how good it felt when Xander had done this.
She kept quiet, waiting to see what he would do. He worked on her with his tongue and fingers, bringing her to the edge more than once. It was maddening not to be able to come. She was practically dripping, and he was enjoying every minute of teasing her. The next time he brought her to the edge he let her fall over it. Her climax making her feel like her insides had exploded. This was one of the hardest orgasms she had ever experienced.
As she came down from her orgasm, he stood up to remove his boxers. His cock was long; he was thick, but she unconsciously compared and noted it was not as thick as Xander. He went to his nightstand and pulled a condom out of a box. She heard the rip of the foil, and she opened her eyes to see him rolling it.
“Is there a position you prefer?”
“No, just fuck me, David.”
He got between her legs and placed himself at her soaked opening. Then with one thrust he was inside her. She detested condoms, but since she wasn’t sure of his sexual status, he needed to wear one. He thrust into her; she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She dug her nails into his back and arms as he continued to pump into her. She looked up at him, and he had his eyes closed and was biting his lower lip.
He started to move his hips counterclockwise pressing hard against her clit. She could feel another orgasm beginning to wave forward, and before he came, she released with a loud moan of his name. He didn’t last long after that and with several hard thrusts, came, collapsing on top of her.
She held him tight to her as their heavy breathing was the only noise in the room. He looked up at her and kissed her lips. He wanted to tell her he was in love with her, but he knew better. She held a torch for someone else but if he could be a distraction until that someone came back then he was all too willing.
They had sex one more time before she collected her clothing, kissed him and made her way to her bedroom. She slept fitfully that night. David did not. He stared at the patterns of light on the ceiling thinking about what they had done.
The next morning, Ava sat at the pool house’s petite kitchen table drinking coffee. She knew that their first encounter that morning would be awkward and it was. David stumbled out of bed in his boxers and went for a cup of coffee before he realized she was sitting at the table. He kept his eyes on his coffee cup and read yesterday’s copy of the Atlanta Journal.
“I’m sorry.”
He looked up at her, confused. “Sorry for what?”
“For last night. I should have said no.”
“Do you think I regret what we did? I don’t. I’m glad you agreed.”
She felt a sense of relief because she wasn’t sure if he was angry at her. He smiled at her and reached out to pat her hand.
“All that sexual tension is out of the way now, and we can concentrate on the wedding.”
He got up and took his coffee to his room, all the while feeling sad because he could never be with her again. At least he got to enjoy her for one night. Tomorrow she would be his stepsister, and it would just be too weird.
She finished her coffee and went into her room to shower. She heard the shower on his side running at the same time. They came out to the living room both fully dressed, and she checked her watch. Their parents probably were up already and getting ready to go to the church to meet with the pastor.
“Do you want to go up to the house to see if they need us for anything?”
“Nah, I’m sure they’re fine. I was going to go into town to see one of my friends. Do you want to come?”
“I probably will go over to Brooke’s to see William. That kid loves me.”
I can’t blame him for that, David thought.
Ava escaped the awkwardness by going
up to the main house to see if they needed her. The house was abuzz with family members finishing breakfast. She helped Natalia clean up the kitchen, said goodbye to her family and left to go to Brooke’s house. William was excited to see her and clung to her leg when she entered the house. She picked him up and planted so many kisses on his face that he had to brush her away. She put him down to sit with Brooke, who wasn’t looking so well, prompting Ava to ask her what was wrong.
“I still have morning sickness. I didn’t have it this bad with William. I hope I don’t spend most of the day tomorrow in the bathroom.”
Ava offered to take William with her back to her father’s house. She knew that he would love spending time with her and it would give Brooke some needed rest. He was full of energy and Brooke didn’t have much to give right now. Brooke agreed, and Ava helped her disconnect the car seat from her van. She put the car seat in her rental and then strapped William into it. He waved to Brooke as they pulled out of the driveway.
Ava took William back to her father’s house, and he became the center of attention with everyone. Gabby and Peter took a special interest in him. Suzanne’s children were older, and it had been a long time since they had a grandchild of this age. He became attached to Gabby and sat on her lap while she stroked his hair. It was late morning, and it was time for his nap. He ended up falling asleep in her arms. She would have made a good grandmother for the children that Ava and Xander would have had. Ava turned away because it made her upset to think about what she had lost, what everyone had lost.
Seeing that William was in good hands, she went back down to the pool house. She felt the overwhelming urge to cry, and if it happened, she didn’t want to do it in front of everyone. She hoped that David wasn’t there just in case. He wasn’t, and she was able to calm herself.
Samantha and Robert were due at the house within a couple of hours, and she was anxious to spend much needed time with her best friend. In the past few months, they had so little time with each other. They both had things going on in their lives that kept them apart. Eventually, Sam would have children, and they would drift further apart. But for now, she was going to try to spend as much time with her as possible.
She went to her room and removed the dress from the garment bag that she had brought. It was a bit wrinkled, and she wanted to iron it. She heard David come in the main door and called to him. He came into her room and sat on the bed watching her iron.
“Is that the dress you’re wearing tomorrow?”
“Yes, I thought I would go simple.”
She held up the black dress for him to see. It was short, and the front looked as if the neckline would show some cleavage. He couldn’t wait to see it on her.
“It’s a nice dress. Do you think you could iron my shirt? I am the worst at ironing and usually, put my shirt in the bathroom while I shower. It doesn’t get all the wrinkles out, but at least I look presentable.”
She told him to bring her the shirt, and she would take care of it. She ironed it quickly and held it up for him to see. He was amazed at how pressed it looked.
“How did you learn to do such a great job at ironing?”
“After my mom passed away, I spent a lot of time with Natalia. She taught me how to iron, and I eventually used to do it for my father and Michael.”
He smiled at her and took the shirt on the hanger back to his room.
When she came out of her room, he was making a sandwich and asked if she wanted half, she nodded and handed it to her.
“Mmmm, this is yummy.”
He reached out to wipe a small dab of mayonnaise from her cheek and offered his finger to her. She took it between her lips and licked it off. He stared at her, and she realized she made a mistake in doing that.
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.”
He looked away concentrating on his sandwich, but she had seen the look on his face. She knew that she had made a poor choice by sleeping with him. She used him because she was angry at Xander for dating and he didn’t deserve that. She didn’t know how to make it right with David.
She thanked him for the sandwich and went back up to the main house to see if William was awake. He had been with her for three hours, and Brooke might begin to worry if he was away to long. William was still asleep. Gabby had placed him on the couch in the library and covered him with a small blanket. She watched him sleep for a minute and then went to sit on the front porch. It wasn’t as chilly here as it was in New York and she only needed a light sweater.
She must have dozed off because she woke to Sam shaking her. She jumped up and hugged her best friend who had just arrived with Robert. He was lugging two heavy suitcases to the porch.
“You do know that you are going only to be here for three days, right?”
“I wasn’t sure what the weather was going to be, so I packed accordingly. Where are we sleeping?”
Ava took them into the house and up the stairs to her old room, which had a queen sized bed and an attached bath. She had removed most of the childish items during the time she had spent recovering from her accident. Brooke had helped her decorate the room in a more adult motif with new curtains, carpet, and bedspread.
She left Sam and Robert to get settled and went downstairs to let her family know that they had arrived. She desperately needed to get Sam alone to have a talk with her. She was hoping she could soon because what had happened with David was eating at her. She sat in the kitchen listening to the conversations around her as everyone prepared for lunch. Sam came down with Robert saying she wasn’t hungry. Ava took the opportunity to ask if she wanted a tour of the place.
They walked around the property and stopped at the gazebo on the far side opposite the large patio. Ava sat down and started telling Sam about what had happened with David. Instead of Sam chastising her she was sympathetic even after she told her why she did it. Sam told her just to let it go. David would get over her. Then she told her something that made her become enveloped by anxiety. Xander was coming to the engagement party with his girlfriend.
She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit up the half-sandwich she had just consumed. The last thing she wanted was to see him after the email he wrote to her. She asked why Sam invited Xander even though she knew what he had done. Sam told her that as she requested she had not told Robert. He was unaware of what had transpired between them. The wheels were set in motion, and Ava wasn’t going to be able to stop them. At least she had time to prepare to see him, and Kaycee (who she assumed was his girlfriend).
The wedding was the next day, and everyone had a wonderful time. Her father and Felice had only invited fifty close family and friends. The affair was lavish, and Ava hadn’t seen her father so happy in a long time. She was thrilled that he had someone now. The best part was that she got a new brother that she liked.
She danced with David several times, one of them a slow dance where he held her close. She pulled away after it was over to go dance with her father. She had done enough of taunting David, and she felt horrible about it.
Despite her keeping David at arm’s length, he seemed okay. He had hit it off with Robert. She found them behind the wedding hall smoking cigars and drinking whiskey. Robert liked him so much that he invited him to his engagement party. After all, they were related now.
That night after everyone had retired for the evening, Ava went down to the pool house. Robert had just come up from there after spending a couple of hours playing video games with David. She had been avoiding David because she wasn’t sure what to say to him. The awkwardness had grown since yesterday morning. She hoped he was in bed when she got down there.
As she crept into the dark pool house, she noticed that no light was coming from under his door. She breathed a sigh of relief and flipped the lights on in the living room. David startled her. He was sitting on the couch in the dark with his head back.
“You scared the shit out of me. Why are you sitting in the dark?”
“I was waiting for you. We need to ta
lk.”
Ava felt her stomach tighten. She was hoping she could avoid this conversation but he was right, they needed to have it. She sat on the opposite couch to avoid a possible repeat of two nights before.
He sighed, “If this was the way things were going to be between us I would never have had sex with you. I feel like I have to walk on eggshells when you’re around. Why did having sex change how you feel about me?”
Ava hesitated while she searched for the right words to say.
“I think it was more what it changed in you than me.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I don’t want to hurt you, David. I like you a lot, and I’m glad that we are friends. I think us having sex meant more to you than you shared with me before I agreed.”
“I’m not hurt. I knew that it was only going to be a one-time thing. I just don’t want things to be weird between us, and they have been since we had sex. Please don’t go back to New York and not talk to me. That would hurt me more than not being able to have sex with you again.”
Ava apologized to him and promised him that she would never stop talking to him once she got back home. She was looking forward to seeing him during Thanksgiving. Her father, Felice, and David were coming to stay at Uncle Daniel’s for the holiday. She was elated that she would see them in three short weeks.
On Sunday she prepared to go back to New York on a late morning flight. She packed the last of her clothes and did a once over to make sure she had taken everything she brought. David was still in bed when she got ready to leave, and she softly knocked on his door. He called for her to come in and she saw he was still lying in bed. She sat near him and hugged him goodbye. He ran a finger down her cheek and pulled her to him to kiss her lips.
“Remember that if it doesn’t work out with him, I love you.”
She hugged him again and left the room before she started to cry. She felt love for David but not in the way he felt for her. She made her rounds to say goodbye to her family. Sam and Robert were leaving later that afternoon. Everyone else was going to stay two more days.
