Pushing the seat backwards to give enough room, I gently scooped up her body and situated her across my lap with her head against my shoulder. Relief still coursed through me as I closed my eyes. This conversation had almost made us both lose our minds and throw away this … whatever this was at the moment.

“I don’t want you to go, so please stop threatening me with it. If I come out harsh, it’s because I’m not accustomed to expressing myself like I used to. The times when I’m aloof, it’s mostly because I’m stressed out about something. If it’s not work, it’s you. I can’t always give in to this possessed need to always want you, Ava. You must understand the strain that I’m under. I know it’s not an excuse, but give me time to get used to it, and I’m sure I’ll learn how to manage these problems along the way.

“After last night, especially after last night, I don’t want to cause anymore hurt, so I’m sorry for inflicting more pain today. I felt like a madman, seeing only red after I saw he was touching you.” Fragments of my feelings started to come out, and I wasn’t sure where it was going to lead me. “You’re mine—my wife—and I don’t ever share what’s mine, most especially you. You should know that by now.”

“This is good enough—hearing you say these things is good enough to make me happy. If it’s not possible to love me again, your trust and loyalty is enough.” She gazed up at me, looking flushed with her reddened eyes, before taking my lips, kissing me with all of her heart. I kissed her in the same fevered fashion, but when her hand travelled below and started to rub my cock outside my trousers, I groaned in protest.

“I have a meeting that I can’t cancel, so there’s no time for this. Tonight, I promise, once I get you to bed, I’ll pleasure you until you succumb to sleep from it all.” I tried to stop her hand from aggravating my cock even more as I gave her chaste kisses, hoping she’d pay heed.

“I don’t want a bed. I need you now—inside me.” She moaned my name just as I felt her working through unbuttoning my trousers. I muttered her name when I heard the sound of the zipper being lowered and then felt the heat of her overeager hand stroking my length. “Please? I promise to be quick.”

Like I ever stood a chance. “It’s all yours, princess. Do as you wish.”

She wickedly grinned before she shifted her position, straddling me with her thighs on both sides of my hips. She lifted the ends of her dress, giving me a glimpse of her white, lacey underwear. She pushed the flimsy fabric to the side then slowly lowered herself on my shaft. We groaned in unison as the head of my cock disappeared into her famished cunt.

“I can’t believe you wore that to see your ex. God, I’ll gladly punish you tonight, just you wait,” I promised as I tried to push away the tortured thoughts of her and Ashton. “I’m going to make you suffer …” The words almost didn’t come out of my mouth because the wench was lost in her own world, riding my cock until she milked me to the very last drop.

She was bloody fantastic. Breathtakingly incredible.

This was the Ava I knew. Nothing would stop her from achieving whatever she wanted. Heavens, life was definitely much brighter with her in it.
