My cock hardens against my trousers, being a literal dick and not reading the power dynamic going on here.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. You happen to be decent at fucking me.”

“Decent? You scream the fucking house down when my cock is filling your cunt, Mrs. King. I reckon I’m more thandecent.”

“I said what I said.” She studies her nails. “Well? Will you be coming? Pun intended.”

“I’ll consider it.”

“Consider it faster.” She stands on her tiptoes and strokes an invisible crease on my shirt. “And while you’re at it, consider whether or not you’ll look at my face while being inside me, because that’s the only way I’ll allow you to touch me.”

She goes back down and flashes me a sweet smile. “You’ll have to share my bed, too. I’m not your whore, Eli. I’m your wife and you’ll treat me as such.”

I let my lips pull in a smirk. “What’s the reason for this sudden change? I thought you agreed that we didn’t need intimacy.”

“I changed my mind. So either you give me what I want, or I’ll find someone who does. Think about it, okay?”

I grab her by the elbow, my fingers digging into the skin. “There will be no someone else, Ava. That ship has long sailed for you.”

She kisses the corner of my mouth. “Then you better think fast,babe.”

And then she waltzes out of the room, swaying her hips and flipping her hair.

And I know—I just know I’ll fuck up everything for this woman.

Her lifeline included.

AVA

“Spill, Cecy. How do you seduce that man of yours?”

My friend chokes on her juice, droplets scattering all over the table and the camera and running out of her nose.

“Gee, thanks for the lemonade shower, Ava.” She wipes her nose with a napkin.

“What? Everyone knows Jeremy is physically unable to look away from you. Pretty sure he’d fuck you in public if you let him. So help a girl out and give me pointers on how you keep him coming back for more.”

A blush creeps up her cheeks and she rubs her nose. “I don’t really do anything. He kind of jumps me the moment he sees me.”

I look up. “God, I’ve seen what you’ve done for other people and I want some.”

“Stop being dramatic. Besides, the way Jeremy looks at me is heavily rivaled by the intense way Eli looks at you.”

“Bitch, please. No need to lie just to make me feel better.”

“I mean it. You’re my best friend and I love you, but you can be so blind sometimes. Also, why do you need seductionpointers? You’ve been complaining about being sore and achy for a while now. Though you stopped over the last week.”

“Ten days.” I sigh as I flop back on the floor of my music room and lift the phone up.

Cecy leans over on the table and abandons the manga book she was reading, or pretending to. We have days where we put each other on the camera while we do our things. I’ll practice or read and she’ll do the same. It’s comforting to know that she’s always there even if a whole ocean separates us.

“What happened ten days ago?” she asks.

“I kinda, sort of, made a stupid suggestion.”
