Chapter 10 Those Three Little Words

Book:Dancing With Fate Published:2024-5-1

It is close to midnight as I make my way downstairs to the kitchen. An incredible thirst has drawn me here, must have been all that whiskey I drank. My mind wanders back to the evening spent with her so close to my body. She let me kiss her and it was nothing less than amazing. I can’t help but smile at my thoughts as I reach to open the fridge door. I never care to switch the lights on, the room is filled with darkness
From behind me, I hear a familiar voice speak, “There must be something very amusing stuck in that fridge.”
“Fuck,” I immediately spin around “I did not see you there.”
So only but chuckles at me, “It happens when you don’t switch the lights on.”
“Well,” I say as I try to reach for th light switch, “I did not think someone would be hiding in my kitchen at night.”
“If I was hiding I would be behind that cupboard.”
“Don’t get clever with me.”
I hear her scuffle around in the dark, and I can only imagine the smile she has on her face now, “It’s not clever it is cheeky.”
“Why is your cheeky ass sitting here in the dark?” I ask.
She once again moves around, “All that kissing has made me thirsty.”
“Yes,” I agree, “And here I thought it was the whiskey.”
“Was it that bad that you can’t remember?”
“No,” I disagree with her, “If it was so bad I would not want more.”
I hear as her voice but a fraction drops softer, “Are you suggesting I kiss you in a completely dark kitchen.”
I cannot help but get a smile on my face as I say, “Somehow I think you will be able to find my lips.”
Finding her in the dark, I cup her face in my hands. Her lips brush against mine. Not innocently, but like a tease, hot and fiery. She tastes like honey and a bit of vanilla, I can smell her sweet perfume lingering on her skin.
She wants to pull away before she loses herself in me but I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her into my body. I hardly give her a moment to react before I press my lips against hers. She rubs her lips over mine and gently pulls at them with her own. When her lips finally part, I delve inside her mouth. It is like my senses have l been seduced and I can no longer think straight. She kisses me, passionate and demanding. My tongue stroking the inner sides of her cheek and we intertwine.
The way she moves with her tongue feels like being on the brink of ecstasy. I softly whisper her name and smile. I clasp my hands on either side of her face as I lean in for a deeper kiss.
We pull apart.
With her body still close to mine, I softly whisper, “Can I tell you a secret?”
“I love secrets.”
“I am in…” I hesitate for but a second.
But then I hear someone enter t5he kitchen, “What are you two doing here in the dark?”
“Fuck off,” I only but lash out at Dominic. “I was in the middle of something.”
“We have rooms for that,” Dominic only but carries on to annoy me.
I do not hesitate fo one moment and step closer to smack him, “You damn idiot.”
Then I see as Ava turns away, “I must get back to bed anyway.”
I immediately reach out after her, “Wait, Ava.”
She refuses my hand and keeps walking away, “See you in the morning.”
She walks off leaving me hanging in limbo.
I look back at Dominic ready enough to just kill him, “I was about to tell her you, idiot.”
“Tell her what?” He asks pretending not to remember
I only but shrug my shoulders, “You know what.”
“Oh,” I hear as Dominic clasps his hand in front of his mouth, “Sorry man.”
I only chuckle at him with rather disappointment, “If I did not love you like a brother I would have punched you.”
He stops what he is doing and turns to me again, “What’s up with you and this damn word love?”
Without hesitation, I turn to smack him again,
“Fuck,” I hear him rub his face where my palm crashed against it, “I thought you said you won’t.”
“I changed my mind.”
Then, all of a sudden, Joseph enters the kitchen, “What are you two idiots arguing about in the dark?”
Dominic turns to him and explains what he accidentally walked on into now, “He was about to tell her when I walked in.”
Joseph comes to stand next to me, “Why are you doing it in the dark?”
“Fuck off.” I wave both of them off, “It felt like the right time.”
Yes, then someone else enters, “What felt like the right time?”
“Fuck,” I say annoyed as I realized it is Emma, “Is every asshole in the house in the kitchen.”
Wait, next to enter is Becca, “Everyone except Ava. What felt like the right time?”
I hear as Emma lifts her voice but a fraction too high, “Did you tell her?”
My irritation creeps up an inch high, “How do you know?”
“Well,” Emma explains, “Dominic told me.” The Becca adds, “And Emma told me.”
I only but shake my head at them, “Did you bitches tell her?”
“No,” Emma denies it. “We would never tell her something like that.”
“You lying.” I say convinced, but then Emma confirms it, “We might have mentioned it to
her.”
So between Emma, Becca and Dominic they try and convince me that none of them has really told Ava. Not believing a word they are saying, I leave the kitchen.
Clearly very frustrated, I make my way back to my room. How special is this going to be if she already knows, which means she is now waiting for me to say it. Absolutely no pressure at all.
Once I am in my room, I firmly lock the door behind me. I don’t feel like any more nasty surprises from that bunch.
But yes, as I so casually talk to myself, “Idiots.” Another voice comes from the dark. “God, I hope I am not one of them.”
That once frustrated face turns into a smile as I hear her sweet voice come from the dark, and I can only but utter, “You love sneaking up on people.”
“Only you.”
“Why are you in my room?”
“I can always leave.”
“No please don’t.”
“After that kiss, I don’t feel like being alone tonight.”
Then I get the biggest smile on my face, “I don’t feel like being alone either.”
Then she continues, “Let’s just get this straight, I am only here for you to hold me.”
“Not even a kiss?”
“Maybe, but you gonna have to sleep with your clothes on
“Why?”
“Cause I might not keep my hands to myself.”
“And why is that a problem.”
“You still have her stench on your body.”
I pull her with me under the covers, she might not want me to sleep naked but I still have a raging hard-on.
Like two teenagers, we just lay there staring each other in the eyes. She brings her thumb to my bottom lip and rubs it softly, she pulls me closer and slides her tongue into my mouth and over mine. She slips back out and slides back in. Her hand is stroking my cheek as she continues moving in and out of my mouth.
My body is burning and my cock is pulsating. I grab her by her hip and pull her into my body, “Why are you naked?”
“Cause I sleep naked.”
“When did you take your clothes off?”
“When you put yours back on.”
My entire body lights up like a fire, just knowing that she is naked next to me. Yet I still try, “How must I keep my hands to myself?”
“Easy, if you don’t then I slap you.”
“You very clever hey.”
“Yes, I am.”
“Can I at least hold your waist?”
“I strongly insist that you do.”
Her skin is softer than any skin that I felt before. I want her so bad, to be mine, not just physically but also in this pounding thing that is nearly about to beat out of my chest.
But if I was not shocked enough that she is naked in my room, what she asks next does shock me, “Can I kiss you again?”
“You should not even have to ask.”
I nudge her chin and look at her. “I think I am…”
Then of course, with my luck with these people in my house, I have somebody knocking at my door.
I immediately lose my temper, “What the fuck.”
“Sorry” I hear Dominic’s voice come from the other side, “Boss but we have a problem.”
“Someone better be dead.”
“No,” He carries on. “Someone is gone.”
“Who is gone at this ungodly hour of the morning?”
Ya, and I nearly fall off the bed as Dominic answers, “It’s Ava. We can’t find her.”
“Oh, you are more stupid than I thought. She is with me you bunch of assholes”
I cannot help chuckle at Dominic, “Oh.”
I turn back to Ava with the full intention to finish my sentence, but she is fast asleep.
My heart drops in my chest, “Guess you not gonna hear that I am in love with you today.”
The next morning I wake she is gone. I make my way to the kitchen but she is not there either. I find only Dominic and Joseph standing there, “Where is she?”
Dominic so casually answers, “They left half hour ago?”
I throw my hands up in frustration, “Why did you not wake me up?”
“She told us to leave you,” Joseph explains.
But what Dominic says next nearly gives me a heart attack, “By the way. She heard you.”
I growl at him already frustrated that Ava left, “What are you talking about?”
“Last night when you told her.” He explains. “When you thought she was sleeping.”
“For fuck sake.”
I need to speak to her away from all these assholes.
I take my phone and dial her number.
It rings.
And rings.
And rings.
No answer.
I send her a message, “Please come see me tonight.”
I wait.
No reply.
I wait.
No reply.
“For fuck sake.”
I head for the shower, I need to get ready to head downtown to the docks
On the floor I see her black lace panties, they must have dropped when she left this morning. It takes a lot out of me to fight the urge to put them to my face and smell the sweet smell of her pussy.
…Ava POV…
I am standing in the lounge pacing the floor as I have an irritated Becca and Emma looking at me while I am doing it, “I think I am in way over my head.”
Emma shakes her head at me, “How can you possibly be way in over your head.”
Yes, Becca joins her, “He is the ideal boyfriend material.”
“He is not the same.” I try to explain to them, “He is not that man whore.”
Emma throws her hands in the air, “Why you complaining. It’s a good thing.”
Then I remember what he tried to say to me last night, “He tried to tell me twice and then finally when he thought I was sleeping. I don’t know what I am going to do when he does.”
“Fuck,” Becca says frustrated, “Say it back. Or don’t you feel that way?”
“I feel something.”
Emma hands me a cup of coffee and tries for me to come to sit down, though then she asks, “What?”
“I don’t know.” I try to find the words, yet, “It felt so good every time he kissed me. And when he put his arm around my naked skin it felt I was gonna burst.”
I fall back on the couch not knowing what my next move should be or even if I should.
“Girl take that leap,” Emma says, then Becca continues. “He is worth it”
I only but have giggle. “It looks like the man whores are being tamed.”
…Trayton POV…
We are busy at the docks to load of the container that they finally found on the goddamn another side of the world, I angry and I am frustrated. Why is chasing a woman so difficult? I can get any woman I want, why am I struggling so hard with this one.
I grunt as I look at Joseph, who is taking his sweet ass time, “Get this thing offloaded. I want to get to the club.”
He still has the nerve to laugh at me, “You have it bad.”
“Shut up.” I snap at him.
But then Dominic joins him, “So you finally fucked her?”
“Did you hear me?”
“No not a sound.”
“Do you think I fucked her?”
“No probably not.”
“What did you do?”
“I just kissed her.”
Before he can even give me one of his stupid observations I show for Joseph to finish up so that we can go to the club. She did not answer my message, but I a hoping to see her there. But Dominic said that Emma will be coming so she might be coming with. God, I hope that he is right.
So we are at the club where I am nervously and yet impatiently waiting for Emma to show her face. Joseph tries to get my attention to look at another woman, “Look at that. My cock is hard just looking at her.”
His words do not even leave his mouth completely and I smash my fist in his jaw, “It’s Ava you twat.”
I look back at the girl that is coming up the stairs at this very moment now, he is going to make it hard for me tonight. She is so damn sexy. I have never been one for that color but it looks so hot on her.
I want this girl, not just for now but forever. I am scared for the day that in love turns to love
She finally comes to stand in front of me and I only have one giant smile, “You did this on purpose.”
“What did I do on purpose.” She whispers from underneath those fluttering eyelashes.
“This dress.” I elegantly wave my finger over her body. “There are so many places I can slip my hands in.”
“There are so many ways that I can slap you.”
I burst out in a burst of rumbling laughter, “Slap all you want to baby girl, my hands are still going to be over you.” I pause for only but five seconds, “Can I kiss you?”
“I was just about to beg.”
I put my hands at the small of her back. She has a different perfume on tonight, it smells so good it gives me an instant erection.
My lips land on hers, I do not enter her mouth, it is a sensual rubbing of lips together, pulling and sucking, licking and tasting. It goes on for minutes, I slowly dance between lips and bodies. It is hot and heated. She moans and my body growls in response
In all the excitement and lust my hands have wandered to her breasts. Before I even noticed and she could react, my hands were rubbing the contours of her breasts, gently squeezing her nipples. They are hard and erect.
“Fuck. Sorry I got carried away.”
She does not say a word nor does she slap me.
We sit back on the couch and she pulls me back into a deep kiss. Her hand is resting on my knee, I feel her slowly run it up to my leg, reaching my crotch, she wraps her fingers over my cock and she rubs me hard.
“Damn Ava.”
She continues to rub, her hand moves over my zip and she pulls it down. She slips her hands into my pants and starts rubbing my cock again, “Fuck I did not know a man can even get so wet.”
She rubs harder and faster then she whispers in my ear, “I do not have panties on. I think I forgot them at your place.”
“Do you want them back? Because you ain’t getting them.”
“I want to feel your finger slip through my pussy.”
She does not have to ask me twice. I slide my hand up her soft supple legs and slowly dig them underneath her dress. I reach her pussy, it is completely shaven.
Fuck that is hot.
My finger runs around her clit and down gliding through her folds. She is completely soaked, my fingers get lost deep within her juices.
“Damn Ava, I want to lick that.”
She gasps as I slip two fingers inside of her. I can hear the sounds of her pussy as I pump in and out of her.
“Fuck,” her voice comes out strained, “You driving me crazy.”
She grips my cock firmer and runs her fingers up and down my shaft.
“God, Ava. I am gonna cum if you keep on doing that .”
She leans in and whispers in my ear again, “Kiss me.”
I kiss her deeper than ever before.
She whispers in my ear again, “I want you.”
I kiss her again.
She only but shakes her head, “It’s not that what I want.”
