Avery stares at me for a moment, contemplating what to say. “Cas, I…” she says, sounding flustered. I rarely see this side of Avery and it does something to my heart. “Cas, you don't need to be gentle and soft with me. I—"
My look stops her cold. Before she can finish that sentence, I’m pulling her close to me. Our bodies are pressed so close together you would think we were one. My hand shoots back to her neck, but this time I don’t squeeze. My lips make their way slowly towards her mouth, and just as her lips part, my mouth moves towards her ear instead and whispers, “Baby, Ineversaid anything about being gentle or soft with you.”I take my hand off her neck and bring my face close to hers. “Be ready at six. Oh, and Avery?”
“Hmm?” Is her only response.
“This time, Iwillshow up, and wewillfinish what we started. That’s a promise Iintendto keep.” Avery stares at me completely shell-shocked and I can’t help but shoot her a playful smirk in return.
I make my way toward her bedroom door before turning around. “Avery, don’t you ever forget how fucking sexy you are. Your smile, your laugh, your body. I could spend hours worshiping every inch of you and it’ll never feel like enough. When I leave, I want you to look at yourself in the mirror and own every single part of you. Because every part of me likes every inch of you.” With that statement, I walk out of her room with a wicked smile and a sense of excitement that I haven't felt in a while. I look down at my still-hard dick and groan in frustration. If I'm to make it through the evening, I may need to jerk off first so that all the attention is on her and her needs.
Chapter 27
Avery
He’ll want to stay in an eat something else for dinner
Whatthefuckjusthappened? Never in my wildest dreams did I think our first kiss would happen like that. In my fantasies, it was always sweet and slow with a tenderness to make a girl’s heart swoon. What happened was a toe-curling, fire-burning, passionate kiss that rocked my world. And I’mstillfucking turned on.
The craziest part about it all was thatIwas the one to go there. Cas was giving me the kiss of my dreams. The second he pulled back, the thin string of restraint snapped in half before turning feral. My mouth attacked his and my body devoured every second of it. I do as I’mtold and stand in front of my mirror and own every single part of me. My face is flushed and my body hums with so much excess energy I could power an entire village.
“Girl, are you okay?” Bri’s sudden presence has me jolting back from the mirror as if I got caught doing something naughty. I nod my head as words have failed me. Brianna smirks at me and gives me her bullshit face. I try to turn away from her, but she stops me.
“Holy shit. Oh my God! You fucking did it, didn’t you?” she screams at me.
“Don’t know what you’re talking about.” My hands are suddenly buzzing with energy, so I focus on making myself busy. Brianna’s gaze shifts towards the rumpled mess that used to be my bed and points at it.
“Bullshit, I knowfor afactthat once your head hits the pillow, you’re out like a light. Don’t even get me started on your face, girl, because, well, have you seen yourself?” I walk over to my floor-length mirror and gasp at the reflection staring back at me. My eyes are black with desire, with the slightest ring of green around the edges. My face is flushed and I can see redness where Cas squeezed my neck earlier.
Most importantly, I look blissfully happy. Even though we didn’t do anything, I looked like I just had sex. Bri wasn’t done talking because she grabbed my shoulders so I could face her again.
“See what I mean? Also, I saw Cas leave your house right as I was pulling in, and he had this wicked expression on his face. So start talking.” She sits on the bed, which forces me to stop and sigh.
“I hate you, Bri. Ugh, fine! Okay, somethingdidhappen, but not what youassumehappened. We just kissed. That's all.”
“Okay, first of all, you love me, and you know it. Second, I call bullshit.”
“Brianna, Ipromise youthat was all we did,” I reassure her. I contemplate telling her everything that happened this morning. I can still feel the heat where Cas’ hand squeezed my neck, sending a throbbing pulse between my legs. Damn, I never thought I’d like that kind of thing. The sound of Bri clearing her throat snaps me out of reliving that moment and potentially embarrassing myself.
“Earth to Avery. Where did you go and why are you doing that thing to your neck?” She looks at me as if a toddler decided to do my makeup.
“My neck?” My face scrunches in confusion.
“Yeah you’re squeezing it and your face went all dreamy-eyed.” I finally cave and tell her everything. Brianna is never one to be stunned speechless, but right now, she is making a solid impression of a fish. I have to wave my hand in front of her face a few times while calling her name before she comes back to me.
“I’m sorry. I think I just stroked out. YouattackedCas this morning by straddling him and going for his mouth like your life depended on it.Thenhe slammed you against the door, gave you a hand necklace, and you rubbed his dick. Who are you and what have you done to my Avery?”
“I-wait. A hand necklace?” I chuckle.
“Yeah. It’s when the MMC puts your hand on your neck and squeezes you in a sexual way. A hand necklace,” she repeats.
“MMC?Girl, what the fuck are you talking about?”
“MMC. The main male character. Girl you need to read my smutty books,” Bri says while rolling her eyes.
“Oh right, MMC. Of course, how could I forget,” I say sarcastically.
“Whatever, now stop changing the subject. What happened?”
“Girl, I don't know what came over me. One second it was all sweet and tender, then I just attacked him. The craziest part of that experience was that Iliked it,especially that hand necklace thing. Everything escalated so quickly and it was exhilarating. I’ve never been so turned on. Want to know what he said to me before he left?” Her nod gives me the courage to continue.
