“Of course. You can always ask me anything.”

“Is it okay I’m spending so much time at your house? I know I really didn’t give you a choice. I was so fucking worried about you. Being there kept me from going crazy.”

“I’ve loved having you with me, Mick. I’m just sorry it had to be like that. You’ve been so sweet taking care of me and bringing my mom into your world. It’s meant everything to me.”

Giving her hand a reassuring squeeze, I decide to push on. “I’m only home part of the week. And I spend a lot of the time I’m in town at work or with my team. At least until baseball is over. But is it too soon to talk about moving in together?”

A spectacular smile takes over Ava’s face, giving me instant relief over approaching her with this. “You know. If we hadn’t gone through those thirty days, I’d probably say it was too soon. But we took time to examine our commitment. And we’ve been hurt enough before I don’t think either of us would enter into a living arrangement if we weren’t sure. I mean,I’venever lived with anyone before.”

“I never wanted to live with anyone, until you.” I again kiss her hand because I’m driving and don’t want to wreck the car to respond how I’d prefer. Plus, every minute we’re still moving northwest is that much closer to giving her all of the affection I want.

“Let’s see how the weekend goes. But I’m excited about the possibility of it, Mick.”

“Me too. I can finally get a dog.” I guffaw.

Ava punches me in the arm, giggling. “Oh, I see now. And here I thought you just wanted easy access to my body.”

“Well, there’s that. I’m playing, Els. I love everything about coming home to you. Making it permanent would be even better. Knowing I’m coming home to you when I’m on the road.” I shake my head. “I’m joking about the dog. Although, I have always wanted one.”

“Oh, we could get a cute little pup-”

“No! There will be no cute fluffy pups. I’ve waited my whole damn life for a dog. Never had one growing up because my mom had a hard enough time keeping up with me. You want cute, go hang out with Bruno.”

Ava laughs. She doesn’t look the least bit offended I won’t hear her out on a pocket pup. “What kind of dog do you want?”

“I don’t know. A shepherd or a retriever of some sort. A manly dog.”

Ava covers her mouth as her belly laugh takes over. “A manly dog.”

“Yeah, a dog I can take to the lake. Not some ankle biter.”

“Okay. Maybe my mom can keep an eye out for you. Did I tell you she’s been volunteering at the Hanover dog shelter?”

“No. That’s great.” I spot a familiar cluster of rocks and natural wildflowers at the edge of the road next to a dirt-lined drive and point. “I think we’re here.” Ava immediately sits up taller in her seat, peering out the window. There’s excitement in the air. Hope she still has that once she sees this old shack. Putting my hand back onto her thigh, willing to risk whatever happens at this point, my heart stops when my little finger grazes her warm skin. Suddenly, it dawns on me. Is she not wearing any panties? Has this little tart ridden next to me the whole way here without any damn panties on?

As we travel the bumpy lane, I can just barely make out the dark wood of the cabin in the distance. Sliding my hand a little further up her thigh, I stretch my index finger over her mound just as we pull up in the circular drive. “Fuck, Ava. You’re killing me, princess.”

The little minx slowly turns in my direction with a devilish glint in her eye. “I can’t believe it took until now for you to figure it out.”

That’s it. I practically drag her across the center console until she’s on top of me. Reaching for the seat adjustment, I push the driver’s seat back as far as it can go and pull her legs on either side of me. Holding her hips, I grind the growing erection in my jeans into her bare pussy. “Kiss me, Els.”

Ava plants her sweet mouth on mine, pulling at my hair as she undulates on top of me. Moving one hand under her skirt, I tease her now wet, swollen flesh briefly before pulling back to taste her. As our eyes connect, there’s a hunger there that could almost mimic mine. Almost.

“I need you, Mick.” She groans, leaning her head against my shoulder while she continues to ride me as if I were naked and buried inside her. I know the rational thing would be to stop and take her inside the cabin. But that house feels a mile away.

Instead, I lift her shirt and pull her lacy bra down, exposing her tits and firm pink nipples. “Sweet, Jesus.” Diving in, I lick and suck one sweet peak and then the other.

“Can I touch you, Mick? I want to touch you.”

“Baby, if you pull my dick out, it’s game over. And I don’t think I can lift us up enough to grab a condom from my wallet.” She groans above me, and I chuckle. “We should probably get inside.”

Ava quickly whirls her head in both directions as if trying to see if I’m referring to something or someone out here we need to shield ourselves from.

“There’s no one here, baby. I just can’t take care of you how I’d like in this car.”

“Oh.” She giggles.

Opening the door, I carefully attempt to twist so she can exit the car without falling. As she does so, the scent of sex in the air makes my rock-hard cock even harder. I’ve barely gotten both feet out of the vehicle before she turns to me with that same ravenous, almost desperate look in her eyes.Fuck it.I run to the back of the car, swing the hatch open, and grab the wool blanket I keep in case of emergencies.Well, this is a fucking emergency.
