Last Weekend in September…
As another week passed by, Avery realized how hard I’d been working to study and stay afloat so he rearranged his schedule to take a break from his duties at the camp to come see me on the weekends. The man made everything look so easy. He was running two camps and stayed with me Friday and Saturday night then left Sunday.
During each stay, he helped me study until I fell asleep in his arms.
In the mornings, he would make love to me and then make me breakfast. Then I’d study for twelve more hours. Or was it sixteen?
The boring routine didn’t bother him though. Before a test, we would study together and when I got the answer right, he would reward me in his special way that only Avery could do. And each time, his oral loving sent me spiraling out of control until I mewed like a Kitten and finally released my orgasm. Then I would fall asleep in his arms totally spent. I was so damn tired last night that I couldn’t reciprocate. But he never complained.
“Next weekend you’re coming to Paramore. Dorian is coming, it’s the Harvest Ball, and I have to be there. I can’t get away. So, study hard Peanut, and clear your weekend,” Avery said in his warm voice.
I looked up at him wondering where the time had gone. It was almost Halloween.
“Try again, Peanut is too plain.”
He snickered. “Sara is taking you shopping this week for a gown, shoes, and jewelry. I already gave her my card. It’s on me. I knew if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t use it.” I narrowed my eyes at him. He knew me so well.
“Wow, finally I get to see what Paramore is all about. I can’t wait,” I said excitedly. This was just the break that I needed, a large party to drown my stress away. I was actually looking forward to it.
Avery kissed the top of my head and shifted to sit on the side of the bed. I loved looking at his naked body. Those defined muscles bulged with every movement he made and I just wanted to wrap my hands around him and bring him back to bed with me. But I knew he had to get on the road. He had a three-hour drive still, and then he had to catch up on his own work.
Sometimes he would do stuff from here as I studied but I could tell he was getting bogged down with the arrival of one of the hottest celebrities. I tried to pad down my guilt for all he’d done for me, for us.
I kissed his shoulder, ran my hands around his belly, and guided my hands over his ripped chest. I couldn’t resist. I was the luckiest woman alive. I had a hot guy that loved me.
He lifted me in one quick motion so that I was straddling him. His green gems danced in the morning light and shined with love. He cradled his hands around my face and kissed me passionately.
I opened my mouth to deepen the kiss and Avery tightened his arms around my naked body as we lost ourselves in the moment.
It would be five days until we’d see each other again and we wanted to make it last.
Avery pulled away and smiled at me. “My beautiful butterfly. I’ll see you Friday,” he breathed.
I nodded and tried to fight back the tears that were beading in the corner of my eyes. I lowered my head and used getting dressed as an excuse to regroup.
Avery stood and dressed in his dark blue fitted suit and light blue tie. He had to skip our usual breakfast this morning. He had a meeting with one of the suppliers on his way home. Five more days to go…just five more days. And then I’m all his again, and I am purposely not taking my schoolwork. It’ll be just him and me like it was in Hawaii.
*****
First Friday in October…
This week could not have gone any slower. Avery’s security checks at Paramore meant that I barely spoke to him the rest of the week.
Guests at Camp Paramore demanded the highest security in order to protect their privacy. Everyone coming had to submit to a background check and had to sign a confidentiality agreement. All of that, just to keep the prying eyes of the paparazzi from seeing famous movie stars dressed as cows having sex with rock stars dressed as mountain yaks. Of course, I’m just speculating since I haven’t been there yet, but in my head, that’s what I imagined.
But finally, I was going to get to see the camp for myself. Knowing Avery and how amazing Camp Jameson was, I expected something mind blowing. I forgot to ask if Paramore had its own version of a Camp Olympics.
This past week, all I had to keep me content with Avery were a few calls before bed with some hot phone sex.
Last night’s call still made me blush, but Friday finally got here. I had packed my bag yesterday, put my new dress in a garment bag, and had everything ready to go.
I arrived early for Calculus and anxiously tapped my foot the entire time during lecture. I got a few stares from my professor, but I kept staring at the clock above the blackboard. I actually liked math but today, I didn’t care what I was being taught, my mind was already in PA.
I texted Avery to let him know I was leaving and he texted back that he would have a late lunch ready for us when I arrived.
Last time I made the trip here, I was with Avery and we were in a limo that picked us up at the airport; this was the first time I was driving in myself. I wasn’t exactly sure if I knew the way. The camp address didn’t show up on the GPS but it got me kind of close and I figured I could make it from there. I needed to remember to lock in the coordinates after I arrived to make this easier next time.
All those Pennsylvania dirt roads looked the same to me, curving and winding through mountains. If I got lost, no one would ever find me. I’d end up on a milk carton or the side of some farmer’s barn in a Mail Pouch ad.
Three excruciating hours later, I finally made my way to the backwoods of Paradise Lake. These bumpy roads always made me have to pee. I needed to lay off the iced teas.
I checked in at the main gate and said hello to Jamie. He quickly entered in his code and the massive gate swung open. He gave me a wide smile and I couldn’t help but grin at the similarities to this day compared to my first day back in late June.
I smiled as I thought of my first day at Camp Jameson and how Jamie was the first person that I met when I arrived. He still looked just as scrumptious.
I took the back way to Avery’s cabin, which he showed me the day we got home from Hawaii in August. He wanted to meet me there first for lunch then I’d finally get to see Paramore.
I wished Avery would have had time to show it to me the last time I was here, but he kept saying that it wasn’t quite ready yet, and that he wanted me to wait until tonight. I couldn’t believe it had been eight weeks since I’d been here.
I missed the drive but quickly turned around in one of the gas wells and headed in the right direction. I was so excited to be here, but this choppy dirt road was wreaking havoc on my car, not to mention my bladder. My anticipation was building and every mile closer that I drove felt like an inch. I feel like I’m watching water boil.
I took a deep breath to calm down so Avery wouldn’t see that I was so worked up. He had enough to deal with this week.
I pulled slowly into the drive and eased up by the cabin, as Avery waited for me on the front porch with a wide smile. My stomach overturned and it took every bit of self-control in me to put the car in park and turn off the ignition before jumping out of the car and running towards his arms.
He bounded down the steps and pulled me into a big hug while picking me up and spinning us around. I took a deep breath of Avery and my insides settled. I was home.
He breathed in my perfume and smiled, and before I could respond, he had my face in his hands and he was kissing me senseless. When he pulled away, his eyes were shining like the fourth of July.
“Hi,” I said.
His smile widened then he pulled me in tighter. “I missed you,” he breathed in my ear. I felt the wet nose of Avery’s grey and white huskies, Bo and Luke, on my thigh. I brushed my hand through each of their thick coats to acknowledge them then turned back to Avery.
“Me too,” I replied. “But I really have to pee.” I could see the sadness he was t
rying to hide in his eyes.
The dogs lay down on the front porch looking content and Avery clasped my hand and pulled me into his house.
I quickly used the restroom and when I returned, Avery pulled me into his arms and in an instant his lips were on mine.
We didn’t stop at the kitchen as we had planned. I could see lunch all laid out for us but it would have to wait.
He began stripping off my clothes before we made it to the bedroom. Soon, I was on my back and he lowered himself onto me. His warm lips pressed against mine. I let myself go for the first time in five days. His gentle touch made me feel cherished. The heated look in his eyes made me feel wanted and his kisses made me feel sexy.
Our excitement for one another could be seen in our rugged breathing. The way our hands caressed each other quickened our passion. Avery entered slowly inside of me and my body pressed harder against him.
I could see tenderness and caring in his eyes mixed with an insatiable need that only I could fulfill. Our eyes never left each other’s until my orgasm exploded around me and I was swept up in pleasure.
Avery’s followed shortly after mine then he collapsed over me. I knew the first round would be quick. But we had all night, and Avery’s stamina was astounding.
Avery pulled me to his chest and kissed the top of my head. I could feel his heart beating wildly. I snuggled into his side and slowed my breathing.
My stomach growled and he chuckled softly then kissed me lightly on the lips and made his way to the kitchen. I stared at his naked behind and musculature back as he slipped on his shorts. My pulse stuttered.
I grinned fortuitously when I realized how lucky I was to have him. He was my Superman and I was his Lois Lane.
I pulled on one of his t-shirts that lay at the end of the bed. It smelled heavily of him but I wanted his essence surrounding me.
He noticed my satisfaction and smiled as I followed him to the kitchen. We quietly munched on chicken salad sandwiches and grapes.
Afterwards, he went and got my luggage from my car.
We returned to the bedroom and he held out my dress for me to hang in the closet. As I did, he switched on the light in the walk-in-closet and I realized what he had done.
Half of one side was his wardrobe and the other was mine. It was everything that a girl could want. More shoes than I knew what to do with, even new running shoes. Dresses that cost more than I could ever want to know. Several pairs of jeans, a new Penn State hoodie, work out clothes. In the first set of multiple drawers were socks, swimsuits, and sports bras. Then in the next tower of drawers were bras, panties, and lingerie that I could only imagine was courtesy of Sienna.
“What do you think?” he asked.
“Well, I think my suitcase is obsolete now,” I joked halfheartedly.
“Does it freak you out? My shopping for you?”
“I am a little shocked.”
“I got all your measurements from Sara. I wanted you to come and go as you please. I didn’t want you to feel like a guest, I want you to feel like this is your home. I also had a key made for you.”
“Wow, I don’t really know what to say…thank you?” I think.
“I know this is a lot for the short amount of time we’ve been together but this helps make it easier for me.” I reached up to touch Avery’s face. A part of me was trembling at his quick pace and I was doing my best to understand everything he was saying.
“I love it,” I said hesitantly.
He was beaming at me with such happiness. I glanced down toward the floor not wanting to shake his enthusiasm. I calmed my breath. I didn’t know how I really felt about all this. He was determined to get me to move here. I just wasn’t sure if I was ready. We’d only known one another for a few months but I decided this was not the time or place to have an argument. I missed him. I knew that much and right now that’s all that mattered. I took those unsure feelings and buried them for now when I realized I was wearing his t-shirt with no panties and Avery had on only a pair of gym shorts.
“Do you want to know the hardest part of this past week?” I asked.
“What’s that?” he asked, sauntering closer.
“I couldn’t get all the things I want to do to you out of my head,” I said, as my voice shook.
Avery gave me that panty-dropping smile. “Is that right?” he said huskily.
“Yep, the best part is that we can start right here.” I sank to my knees and pulled Avery’s shorts down from his waist. He hissed in delight when I took him into my mouth. I just wanted to get lost in him.
After a few hours, Avery and I finally relaxed against each other in a heavy pant on his king-sized bed when his phone rang again. He had already ignored several phone calls.
“Maybe you should get it. It could be important,” I said.
“I’ve been putting out fires all week and I refuse to work so soon after you got here. Tonight is about you coming home to me and I hope you will call this home sweet home very soon,” he grinned.
The stress was finally gone around his eyes. I smiled, knowing that if tonight was any indicator, this was going to be a great weekend.
I loved being his temporary distraction. I just hoped that I wasn’t keeping him from something important.

CHAPTER 6
HARVEST MOON
Saturday Evening, October 6th – Weekend One
at Camp Paramore
Avery’s warm hands zipped up my short, black, one-shoulder Valentino dress that I bought when Sara took me shopping courtesy of Avery’s credit card. I trembled inside knowing that this dress cost more than my fall semester’s tuition.
“I want to thank you for the ridiculously priced clothes you bought me.”
“You’re welcome. Did you get everything you needed for the Harvest Ball?”
“Yes. I got these awesome Louboutin shoes, some really great jewelry, and of course this dress,” I said, posing coyly for Avery and the mirror at the same time.
“You are so beautiful, Aria,” he said, kissing my neck. “Tonight’s party will be different from the ones at Camp Jameson. The Harvest Ball is more of a formal black tie event.”
“Okay,” I said nervously.
Sara and Colt joined us at Avery’s Cabin, entering with only a sparing knock on the door since we were expecting them. Sara had spent last night at her family’s house and Colt picked her up and drove her in to camp earlier today.
We joined them in the atrium then headed outside to Avery’s Mercedes Benz.
As we drove down the dirt road, Avery continued filling us in about camp.
“Although you will undoubtedly recognize many of the guests you meet tonight, remember they are very private people. So no ogling the celebrities,” he said. Why was he looking at me?
We were heading toward the cabin where Sara and I stayed, named Jasmine. As we passed it, I missed my time there more now than I ever had.
Avery drove past the Kitten cabins and toward a dirt road on the right marked ‘Private’. It looked more like a wide trail and within seconds, the Allegheny Forest swallowed us up.
I fidgeted nervously with the hem of my dress as the dirt path gave way to a paved drive that led to the front of the Manor.
As we rolled to a stop, I noticed the leaves of fall made a beautiful canvas of tangerine, lemon, and cherry although the trees wouldn’t reach their peak color for another week or so. The forest hid us perfectly from the outside world.
I felt like royalty and I hadn’t even made my grand entrance yet.
Sara squealed in delight as she viewed the great Manor before us. I sucked in an audible breath.
It was four stories high and emblazed in gorgeous dark colored stone and brick. The decorative windows sparkled and the luscious landscaping accented the Mansion well. It was gorgeous. It was a cross between Wayne Manor and Downton Abbey, only more majestic.
“How big is this place?” Sara asked.
“The Manor is 120,000 square feet. It
sits hidden on its own section of forest flanked by its own two lakes,” Avery said as a valet stepped to the car and opened the door for him.
I sat awestruck taking in such a lavish place. Was this a dream? Why didn’t he stay here instead of his cabin, not that I minded his cabin, but damn!
I heard the handle of my door open and as Avery helped me from the car and kissed my hand. I blushed.
“You are breathtaking, Aria,” his green eyes were heated as he spoke. “If I didn’t have to welcome Dorian tonight we wouldn’t be here. I’d have laid you on our bed, tied you up with silken neckties and gone down on you until you shook like a salesman at a haberdashery.” That’s a really old school reference and I don’t even know what it means but my insides shook wanting the same thing. At least it sounded like something I’d like.
I rose up on my tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss to his lips.
“We’ll play later, I promise,” I said. “Now lead the way. You’ve kept it from me long enough.”
“As you wish, Tiger lily,” he laughed. I giggled and shook my head.
“Keep trying,” I said.
“Come on, you two love birds. I’m dying to see inside,” Sara said, echoing my enthusiasm.
Avery led me up the wide granite stairs and into the double doors. A very tall handsome man in a black tuxedo opened the doors for us. He was older and well seasoned. I’d say at least 40.
“Aria, this is Elias, the butler of Paramore,” he said. Elias nodded and stepped to the side to let us in.
I gasped when I stepped into the entryway made of exotic marble and stone. Avery had kept to the elegant 18th century theme inside.
The ceiling was thirty feet tall and inlaid with soft recessed lighting and twelve inch wide trim. The tall chandeliers were made of crystal and spaced evenly throughout.
A painting by Hieronymus Bosch hung on the great far wall and marble statues, the kind with missing arms, were sprinkled around the room.
“The name of that painting is the Garden of Earthly Delights,” Avery said, pointing at the large hanging canvas.
