Page 74 of Fervency Love

“Yes, that’s right. And then I tried catching my breath on the balcony for ten minutes, that’s how bad it got.”

“I’m sorry.”

Ve takes me into his arms, and I savor this moment. It’s so good.

“I love you. Never doubt that,” he says.

Ivy stops by in the afternoon, providing an opportunity for Ve to sneak out and go home. We go for a walk just to get some fresh air. Then I invite Vicks over. We’re in the middle of sorting my garbage—there are cigarette butts in the bin—when there’s a knock at the door.Is Ve back already?Impossible,I think. It’s my dad. My shock must have registered on my face, as he looks at me for a long while before entering. I did not expect him at all.What’s he doing here anyway? Checking up on me? He always loved showing up at the worst possible time, but now it’s taken me completely by surprise. Shit, what if I was with Ve, alone? Fucking hell. I’m one lucky girl, I guess.

It turns out Dad needs to grab some things from the apartment before running. He’s about to leave when the doorbell rings. It’s Ve. Dad barks a curt, “Hi. I hope we’ll get to know each other better.”

“Uh, hello. I think so…”

That’s as much as Ve’s able to say to him.

Close encounter of the third kind, eh? Weird. Vicks has been sitting in silence all this time, observing closely. She knows my father, so she keeps her mouth shut. When he goes out, Ve and Vicks go for a smoke. I pick up the ringing phone. It’s Grandma. She says there’s been a burglary attempt at her place, and she can’t come.

“That’s crazy! Everything alright? Do you need help? Want me to come, Granny?”

“There’s no need. Everything is fine. Unless you don’t want to be alone tonight.”

I’m not sure why but I have a feeling all this is no coincidence. I drive those thoughts away.

“Listen, Abby, I have to go to the store. Mom called. Be back in no time,” Vicky says as soon as I hang up.

I’m alone with Ve, leaning on one of the kitchen drawers, when his sexy voice cuts through the silence.

“You have such a gorgeous ass. I’ve been missing you. You taught my dick all about pleasure and left it for three weeks. Do you know how much it missed you?” My Ve’s back.

A smile appears on my face, unbidden. His words are a shock. He’s so unpredictable. Moody. Yesterday he behaved like a total asshole. These mood swings tick me off, to say the least. Aside from driving me mad, they also foster an internal struggle,ruining my tidy, scheduled world, throwing me off balance, jerking me out of my comfort zone, usually proof against all such attempts as long as I have control over everything in my life. With Connor I have jack shit instead of control. There’s no planning or predicting. One second everything is alright, another he smashes it all to pieces. Of course, there are moments when it’s wonderful. I’d love it to be like that forever. But as soon as he spends even a little time with those idiot buddies of his, he’s evil incarnate.

Now, Ve draws closer, wrapping his arms around me. He kisses me on the ear and sucks in my scent. His wet, warm lips wander along my eager skin, his arms clench around my hips, and his thumbs hook against the hem of my shorts. He slides a hand in my panties and I’m instantly afire. My breathing quickens in anticipation of what he’s about to do. His deft fingers rub at my clit and then slide inside me. He caresses me inside and out; I can feel his erection on my ass. It’s blissful. Without breaking the touch, he turns me around so I can face him and presses his lips to mine. His tongue slithers inside my mouth, finding my own tongue. The two tangle in a passionate kiss. Both of us are panting now. Our hearts are beating a staccato. Ve carries me to the bed, rips off my shorts and panties, kneels between my legs, and dives into my wet pussy, licking my clitoris and fucking me with his fingers. His thumb brushes against my other hole.

“You’re so wet and ready for me. I love your pretty pussy.” His tongue slides across the right spot, driving me mad.

My nails dig into his skin. I’m very close now. I can feel the electric current running through my body. I tremble as I come, moaning and screaming, and collapse to the mattress. Ve lands next to me and kisses me. The taste of his tongue mixes with my own. It’s a one-of-a-kind combination of my arousal and hisscent. When my body calms down and my breathing slows, I have an idea. I voice it before I have chance to analyze it.

“If Grandma isn’t coming tonight, maybe we could do it?” I suggest.

“I think so,” he says, kissing me on the butt cheeks, biting the skin gently. “But I have to go now. I’ll be back later.”

He steals a quick kiss, pulls on his shoes, and he’s gone. What the hell was that? I’m offering him sex, and he just dispassionately leaves? Fuck this. Will I ever catch up with him? Did he even hear what I said?

I decide to go take a bath, just to be on the safe side. I’m about to go to the bathroom when the doorbell chimes yet again. Damn, I forgot about Vicky.

There she is, with Ivy at her side. We move to the balcony to have a smoke. I don’t tell her my plans for the night. The only thing I say is that Ve is going to be back soon. They’re smart. They finish their cigarettes and leave.

Right after they do so, I turn the tap on and prepare a bath with scented oil and foam. I quickly shave my legs and bikini, making sure to check the armpits too. I’m a bit nervous. I dry myself with a towel and go get some music. “From This Moment On” by Shania Twain seems perfect for my… for our first time.

I put on a nice lace set of lingerie and a pair of shorts and a tank top. There’s a knock at the door again. It’s Ve. We go for a smoke. He grabs me by the ass and pulls me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist. His hands slide up, stopping on my breasts. Jesus, he turns me on so much! I can feel the current running through my brain and down there. I spin around, facing him.

“Do you have condoms?”

“I thought you wouldn’t want to, after all…” he splutters, shocked.

“If you want to, I want it too.”

“You keep surprising me, girl! Of course I want it! I’ve wanted nothing more since I met you.”
