Anger and anxiety area living thing inside me when I realize that Eve went to classes today after what happened last night.I've only felt fear like that one other time in my life and I never imagined that I would or could care enough about anyone to feel that fear again.

Grandpa always gave the best advice.That's how I knew I had to find the woman who would make my life better and fight at my side.It's just that I never dreamed that love would rival the depth of love I have for Ace.Eve is a part of me.I may not have recognized it the moment when I first saw her, but I take great pride in recognizing it within days of meeting her.

I'm proud of her for not letting what happened stop her from doing the things she wants to do.It was probably wrong for me to tell her to stay home, but I can't ever go back to what happened last night.She was gone.She left me again, only this time I couldn't reach her.I stayed up all night begging her to come back to me and telling her what would happen to me if she didn't return soon.

I walk into the spacious apartment and the girls are sitting on the larger couch.None of the furniture is part of a set but it all comes together well.They must have been talking because nothing is on the TV.

"Hello, ladies."

"Hey."Vaughn says casually as if she didn't hurl the most creative and biting insults I have ever heard at my sweet baby sister and I the last time we spoke.Eve smiles at me, and I can tell that something is off.

"How was practice?"

"Fine.I'm going to take a shower."

I walk over to Eve and place a lingering kiss on her forehead before heading to the shower.Showering for several minutes longer than necessary, I wait for Eve to join me, but she doesn't.Why doesn't she come?Something is wrong.

The towel is wrapped loosely around my waist as I start for my clothes in the bedroom.Eve never explicitly told me to move my things in here, but she didn't attempt to stop me when I made space for myself in the closet and in the dresser.None of it will matter soon anyway.We'll meet with Beth on Sunday, and she has five listings to show us.

Eve walks into the room and stops when she sees me.I love the effect I have on her and how responsive she is to just the sight of me.She will never know how much more I'm affected by her.She consumes me.My every thought.My every action.It's all for her, because of her.

"We have five houses to look at on Sunday and they all fit your criteria."

"I haven't given you a list.How do you know what my criteria are?"

"I know you, Eve."I close the distance between us, grasping a lock of hair that has fallen into her face and examining it as I rub across the strands with my thumb.Her hair appears to be a warm, dark brown at a distance, but when you really look at it, there are these streaks of caramel and even a faint red hue.It's beautiful just like every other part of her.

"You have just unanimously decided that we're moving in together without even asking me what I think about it.You can't keep bulldozing me into things and getting away with it.That little misunderstanding and subsequent minor runaway is over, and I have paid for that.I won't keep being a pushover."

I don't step away from her.In fact, I crowd her body with mine, pinning her against the desk.

"Oh my sweet Eve.There's so much to unravel there.First, we've been living together since the day we met.We have not spent one night apart.My things are put away in this apartment just like your things are put away in Eden House."

She starts to speak, but I cut her off with a thumb to her lips and a soft "shhhh" as I kiss my own thumb over her mouth.

"Second, bulldoze you?Pushover?I suppose that I am mistaken about your refusal to go to the banquet, your refusal to stay home today, and your constant pushback to every fucking.Thing.I.Say.That must have been someone else in the sports complex that day running from me, threatening me, and insulting my sister because that woman wasn't getting bulldozed by anyone."

I place emphasis where it's needed and pause in all the right places.Theatrics are important.They're effective.

"Lastly, did you actually pay for that minor runaway?I seem to remember you speaking of an idea you had to earn forgiveness, and nothing ever came of that.What was the idea, Eve?"

My breathing stops, my heart stops, and my whole world erupts when Eve drops to her knees in front of me.She looks up at me with those piercing green eyes and my fingers entwine in her hair without asking my brain's permission.

"You're right.Things kept coming up, but a promise is a promise."

She tugs on the towel at my waist and lets it fall to the floor at my feet.Oh my heavenly gift.I'm already rock hard, and my throbbing dick stands at attention.My cock has never felt so close to combustion, and she hasn't even touched me yet.How does she do this to me?There's not an ounce of hesitation in her as she reaches out for me, gripping my shaft at the base and, pulling it down to her beautiful full lips, softly stroking me as she does.She places a gentle kiss to the tip.A fucking kiss!This kiss lights me up all over and I'm already embarrassed about how quickly this could all be over when I never want it to end.

She begins licking my now painful erection, wetting me from base to tip, when her confidence begins to gnaw at me.Why is she so confident?She was a virgin.She said she'd never had anyone in her bed.This isn't the same thing though, is it?No.It's not.Lots of girls pride themselves on their virginity while blowing every hard dick in their line of sight.

I reach down and roughly clamp my hand down on her chin."Have you done this before?"My voice is low and dangerous.It vibrates with unspent rage.I will kill every mother fucker who has ever seen my Eve on her knees.

This is for me.She is for me.

She looks up at me as she sticks out her tongue to slowly and seductively lick the pre-cum off the tip of my length.With her tongue still out, STILL TOUCHING THE HEAD OF MY DICK, she slowly shakes her head, no.

That's right.That's right.Good girl.She said she's never touched anyone like this.That definitely includes her mouth.
