“It’s alright. It was already on my mind anyway. Maybe talking about it will help me think about it less. The ironic thing is that this is the first time I’ve been able to fall asleep like that in years. Fuck, maybe decades. I’m sorry I woke you up.” I prop myself up so that I can look at him.

“Okay, well let’s think about what worked tonight and go from there.” He faces me with a soft smile.

“I already know what the difference was,” he claims as he threads his fingers in my tangled hair.

“Oh?” I ask, naive as ever.

“You’re here,” he says simply and my heart pounds in my throat. Even after he fucked me, he cut me, and took care of me in the shower, this is what makes me realize the magnitude of the situation. I try to respond lightly even as I feel my entire foundation shake.

“Well, then at least it should be easy falling back asleep,” I offer brightly, but he shakes his head. “You have to work in the morning. I don’t want to keep waking you up.”

“You need to sleep too,” I insist.

“I’ll be fine, sweetheart. Go back to sleep.” I smile wickedly then climb on top of him.

“Ava, what-” he starts, but I plant a soft kiss on his lips.

“I know what always helps me fall asleep,” I whisper before pushing back the covers. Cal’s eyes are hooded as I kiss my way down his bare chest until I’m just above the waist of his pajama pants. I try to fight down the voice telling me to stop. I’ve never done this before, but I’ve heard Paige talk about it enough that I think I can give it a pretty good try.

Something about the disheartened look in Cal’s eyes makes me feel like I’d do anything in this moment if it meant that he would feel better. I grip Cal through his pants, and he lets out a low groan, lifting his hips up to help me as I start to push down his pants.

His cock suddenly springs free, and my mouth goes dry. He’s absolutely

massive, and he looks even bigger as I imagine how I’m going to fit him in my mouth.

I grip him in my hand lightly, the soft moan he makes boosts my confidence. The skin is so soft as I kiss him from the root to the tip. I slowly lick the little beads of arousal that gather at the tip. He makes another delicious noise and drives his fingers through my hair.

I tentatively take the tip of his cock in my mouth, swirling my tongue across the slit. Without warning, I push my face down until I’ve taken as much of him as I can. I gag, and saliva coats his shaft. I sit up a little as I take him in my hand, pumping him up and down slowly as I watch his face. He’s breathing unevenly and looks like he’s having a hard time letting me have control.

I put my mouth on him again and grab him at the root, so I can move my

mouth and hand in tandem. I remember what Paige said about hollowing out my cheeks and I try to suck them in. It must do something because he chokes on a groan.

“Fucking Christ, Ava. Oh my god that feels so good.” I’m getting tired and my jaw cramps, but his praise gives me all the encouragement I need to keep my pace and within a minute he gasps again.

“Ava, baby, I’m going to come.” As soon as he finishes his statement, hot

ropes of his cum shoot into the back of my throat and I freeze. I start swallowing as he empties himself into me. He lets out a sigh as I sit up to look at him. I’m unbelievably proud of myself for even trying that. He looks shocked as well and pulls me to him.

“Did you really swallow all of that?” I open my mouth and stick out my tongue in response. He kisses me fiercely.

“I don’t even want to know where you learned to do that.” I giggle, settling into his side again.

“That was actually my first time.” He cranes his neck to gawk at me.

“No fucking way.” I laugh again and give him another kiss.

“Go to sleep, Cal.”

THE STALKER

Her cries can be heard through the windows and I grow hard at the sound. Callum doesn’t shut his blinds either. Perhaps he thinks he will be undisturbed this far out of town. He did not account for me, and I grin at the thought.

He cuts into her soft flesh, and my old wounds ache sympathetically. I pull out my phone and zoom in. I take several pictures as he cuts and fucks her. I can’t tell if her tears are from pain or pleasure, but I covet those screams.

I put my binoculars to my eyes to get a better look. Callum puts the blade against her pussy and the sight fills me with an unprecedented want. The girl is covered in blood and she must be as sick in the head as Callum, because she seems to enjoy it.
