Dave
In the morning, when I woke up with her in my arms I felt like I had everything else in the world at that moment.
She was sleeping like an innocent child, without a care in the world. I could see her sleeping all day. She’s so cute.
Why do you have to be so pretty? I keep falling for you again and again.
I reached out my hand to caress her face and her words rang in my head, “Who am I to you? What is our relationship? What future do we have together?”
I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me. But I’m afraid of telling you that. I can’t commit to you when I’m still not out of a bond that ties me to someone else.
Unless I can promise you the place you deserve, I won’t confess my feelings to you. Cause it’ll be unfair to do that.
So, till then, hang on, please. Until things are right.
“What are you looking at?” Aileen murmured, staring at me half asleep.
“When did you wake up? I thought you were sleeping.”
“Just now. So, what are you looking at early in the morning?” she asked, snuggling closer to me.
“Looking at you. You look so lovely in the morning. Do you know that?”
“Hm…I do. I didn’t know that earlier,” she chuckled. “You must be imagining things.”
“Aren’t you going to wake up?” I asked, looking down at her.
“Hm…. no. Let me sleep some more. I feel comfortable like this.”
“This isn’t a good excuse, is it?” I ran my fingers through her silky soft hair. It was a bit messy but I didn’t mind.
“Spare me, I’ve worked so hard last night. I need a proper rest,” she grunted.
“Oh really? I was the one who did all the hard work, didn’t I? Give me some credit as well!”
She lifted her face to look at me. “You need credit for sex? And what’s this thing poking me in my thighs?”
I was astonished to see how bold she was becoming day by day.
“It’s normal to happen to guys in the morning. Just bear with it,” I replied, closing my eyes shut.
“Then, you are feeling horny now?” she added in a seductive tone. “Do you need help to feel relieved?”
I propped open my eyes the very instant, realizing what she was playing at.
“You seem to be quite generous today. Aren’t you?”
She giggled, covering her mouth. “Kind of, but only for you. So, will you accept my offer? Or decline?”
“I’ll have to decline, I don’t want to spend all my energy of the day right away. And you need to get up as well”
Before I could finish talking, I felt her warm hand wrap around my shaft. I was alarmed and ready to stop her but her touch was irresistible. My mind wanted to tell her to stop but my body wanted it.
She was enjoying my reaction, the smirk on her face was enough proof. Underneath the sheets, she was helping me jerk off while lying next to me.
This is truly a sight, I wouldn’t want anyone to walk into.
Her hands moved fast up and down, and I clenched onto the bedsheets tightly in response.
Oh fuck, she’s so good. I threw my head back, enjoying whatever she was doing. In the midst of it, she went inside the sheets and started bobbing her head up and down on it.
Her hot and wet tongue flickered over the head, creating a sensation unlike before. I really don’t want to make a mess of her face in the morning. But, she’s begging for it.
She increased her pace and I felt all the self-restraint in my body just break into pieces. Out of instinct, I grabbed onto the back of her head and just made her gag on it when I came to release.
Taking a deep breath I kept my eyes closed, enjoying the feeling of waves of pleasure washing over me.
“You are so rough. Have you checked on her?” Aaron my wolf remarks.
I opened my eyes and threw away the sheets from my body. Aileen took it out of her mouth and white liquids dropped down from the corner of her lips.
“Uh, sorry. Let’s go and wash up,” I suggested, sitting up.
She nodded, a bit shyly. “Uh, sure.”
“You go first, I’ll go after you!”
“Why?”
“Cause I don’t have any faith in myself that I won’t try to do anything again after seeing you naked in the shower. So, you can finish I’ll wait for you.”
She looked at me a bit weirdly but went to the bathroom anyway. After she was gone, I was lying on bed staring at the ceiling blankly.
I’m really no good. I need to get a grip on myself. Aren’t you the adult here, Dave?
I checked the time, it was 7 a. m. only. I got down from the bed to change the bedsheets wearing the boxers that I found discarded on the floor.
I dumped the old bedsheets in a basket next to the bed and searched for a change of bedsheets in the room.
Suddenly, a knock on the door drew my attention.
Who’s here at this time? The servants, right?
“Dave, are you awake? Can you hear me? Dave?” I heard Emilia’s voice outside the door. And it made my hands go cold.
Is she home already? At this time?
But, Aileen is still in the shower. What should I do?
I rushed to the bathroom and knocked on the door. “Aile-“If I speak Emilia might hear me.
I knocked on the door making as much less sound as possible. But, Aileen wasn’t answering the door.
“Dave? Can you hear me?” Emilia kept calling from outside the door and I didn’t know how to react.
Aileen is inside the bathroom while Emilia is outside the door. What should I do?
“Dave!”
I picked up my clothes and had put them on in a hurry and went to get the door after locking the bathroom door from outside.
My heart was beating heavily when I opened the door for Emilia.
“Sorry for making you wait,” I stuttered, forcing a smile.
“Oh, I’m so tired,” Emilia complained, hugging me tightly. “I’ve been calling for so long. Were you asleep?”
“Uh…yeah. I was. Sorry about it.”
“It’s okay,” she pulled away smiling. “Sorry for disturbing your sleep. I just needed to take a shower right away and Aileen wasn’t answering the door. She’s such a deep sleeper.”
Yeah, right?
“Wait, shower? You want to shower now?” I asked.
“Uh, yeah. I’m reeking of sweat. Can’t you smell?” she entered the room while talking.
I rushed behind her.
“I understand, but you can’t take a shower now,” I replied.
She looked at me puzzled. “Why?”
“Cause…..” your daughter is inside. And she probably has no clothes inside as well. Wish I had told her to bring her clothes inside. Then, I could find a excuse to give Emilia.
I’ve really fucked up this time.
“Dave? You really make no sense, you know?” Emilia added, pulling out towels from the closet. “Why can’t I have a shower right now?”
“Uh…because…. the door is broken and the shower needs fixing as well. Or you might get stuck inside with no way to get out. Yeah.”
“Really?” she came and stood in front of me, staring at me with eyes full of suspicion. “And when did that happen? If I remember correctly, I did take a shower yesterday before I left for work. The door and the shower were working perfectly at that time. Don’t tell me you are joking with me early in the morning. You are, right?”
“What? No, no! I’m not joking. It happened last night. I called the plumber already he’s going to come in the afternoon to fix the door. Till then we have to use the bathrooms in the other rooms. Sorry about it.”
“Oh…I see. But, Aileen isn’t waking up. What should I do? I really need to rinse off the sweat.”
“Uh, use the bathroom in the guest rooms. It’s working perfectly fine. And you don’t have to wait for Aileen to wake up either.”
She looked convinced by that.
“Well, that sounds good. I’m going then.”
“Yeah, sure. Take your time.”
After she left, I closed the door behind me.
I went to the bathroom and unlocked the door. As soon as I opened it, Aileen came out looking puzzled.
“Why did you lock me up inside for? I was standing there barefoot on the cold floor.”
“Your mom came back a few minutes ago. That’s why I had to lock you inside.” I replied, sighing.
“What?” her face goes pale the very instant. “Mom came back? When? And so early also?”
“Yes, I didn’t expect it as well. Anyway, I made an excuse that the bathroom was broken so she went to the guestroom. So, you can leave the room while she is at it. Hurry up pick up your clothes and leave!”
“Uh, sure.”
I also helped her pick up the clothes. She had put them on and left in a hurry.
I barely managed to handle the situation on time. But, that’s not going to happen every time, is it? I need to be a bit more careful from now on.
Suddenly exposing ourselves to Emilia is something that’s not in my plan right away. Goddess, thanks for saving our backs this time.
I appreciate it.
Emilia came back a few minutes later and was brushing her hair in front of the mirror. I received a call from work a second later.
After attending to it, I came back to the room and saw her standing in front of me.
“What? Do you have anything to say?”
She nodded, smiling. “Yes, let’s go on a date!”
Huh?
