Ouch.Avery was right.The truth did hurt.
“She’s different.”
“I think she’s good for you and you for her.”Olivia cocked her head to the side, blatantly studying Avery.If Avery noticed, she was masterful at pretending otherwise.Nick had the feeling she really was wrapped up in her work, focusing hard to make up for not being here last night.“She seems okay with you two being out in the open.”
“Probably didn’t hurt that we walked into a standing ovation.”Nick snorted, shaking his head.He still couldn’t believe it.It had been one hell of a show of support he appreciated.
“Oh, did you?”The lilt of innocence in Olivia’s voice had him turning his head sharply to give her a look.She smiled back at him.“I gotta get going.Things to do.”
She sauntered off before he could decide whether he wanted to thank or strangle her.
Well, at least now he knew it hadn’t been Alice.
Avery
This might have been the most exhausting weekend of her life.
Emotionally, not physically.
But she was ending it in a good way.
Almost everyone had come up to her to tell her they didn’t care what she and Nick were getting up to outside work.Several of them had joked they had ‘known it!’and thanked her for the money they’d won betting on her and Nick as a couple.She just shook her head.
She’d thought they’d been so much more discreet than they were.When she’d finally said as much, Roger had smirked and explained it was the blatant lack of romantic interaction between them that tipped everyone off.
“Everyone could feel the chemistry.It was just a matter of time,” he smirked again.“You were fighting it, then you weren’t, so we were pretty sure you two had gotten together, but no one could prove it.”He went to settle up his bet with Jonathan.
Shaking her head, Avery finished up her shift, then texted Iris, Rae, and Domi with an update before heading to Nick’s house.Her friends’ responses had come in during the drive, and she’d snickered when she’d checked them after parking in his driveway.
Rae’s response had been a predictable ‘I told you so,’whereas Domi and Iris were more, ‘I’m happy for you!’
“Does this mean we’re going to drive together now… please?”Nick asked as he opened her car door.Avery grinned up at him, sliding her phone back into her purse.
“Yeah, that sounds nice.”Much easier, for sure.Now that she didn’t have to worry about people knowing about them, it wouldn’t matter if they drove in or left together.
“Thank goodness.”He pulled her against him, his hands sliding down to cup her butt, making her squeal and wriggle.The sides of his lips curved up in a sadistic smile.“How’s your ass?”
“Still a little sore.”Glaring at him, she was pretty sure he’d figured that out from her reaction.He just wanted to make her say it.
“Good.”He bent his head to take her lips in a kiss, and she could feel the hardness of his erection growing between them, pressing into her as she kissed him back.Big jerk.When he pulled away, she was all hot and bothered all over again.When he turned her toward the house and gave her ass a little slap that stung like hell, thanks to how sensitive her skin was, she shrieked.“Now, let’s get inside so we can shower and clean up.”
It was a hot shower in multiple ways as Nick insisted on washing her, his hands lingering on all her most sensitive spots until she was practically panting.Not that she didn’t get him back, wrapping a soapy hand around his cock and sliding it up and down the thick length several times before he growled and pulled away.
Freshly cleaned and rinsed, they rubbed each other down with the towels, still teasing, before stumbling into the bedroom and falling on his bed.Avery moaned as he nipped and bit her nipples, tormenting the tiny buds with his mouth.His hands slid up her arms to pin them down on either side of her head, wrists just above.Feet on the floor, he was at the perfect height and wasted no time sliding into her.
Gasping, Avery moaned and clenched around him as he filled her, her legs wrapping around his hips and pulling him deeper.The press of his body against hers made her ass bounce on the bed, awakening phantom pains from spanking and adding that little dash of sensation to her pleasure.
Unlike at the club, Nick took his time with long, slow, firm thrusts in and out of her body.His mouth worked over her breasts and nipples, teasing her with pleasure and sharp nips of pain while he fucked her.Whimpering, Avery writhed beneath him, her body urging him to move faster, harder, instead of his relentless, steady pace.
“More, please, Nick!”She clenched, her thighs tightening, pulling him against her, trying to quicken his pace with her legs.“Harder!”
“Naughty girl.”He nipped the sensitive nubbin tipping her right breast, making her moan.Thrusting in deep, he filled her to the brim and rocked, his body rubbing against her sensitive lips and clit, sending hot pleasure shooting through her.His hands pressed harder against her wrists as he thrust, then ground against her.
Thrust.
Grind.
Thrust.
