Family Bonds- Ava and Seth (Amore Island Book 5), Natalie Ann [world of reading TXT] 📗

never regained it. She’d been bleeding internally in her uterus with the placenta blocking her cervix and no one knew how long it’d been going on that day.

Ava had wondered if he had demons. He knew that. He wouldn’t lie either when she’d asked him once.

There were days he thought too much of what he lost and wondered why it happened to him. Then there were times he told himself he had to move on and push forward for his daughter. As long as Adele was happy, that was all that mattered.

But he was learning that wasn’t all that mattered. That he deserved to be happy too.

And right now, he was. The woman in his bed next to him was everything he could have asked for and he was stunned how it came about.

He opened his hand up, spread it out on her stomach, covering most of it. She sure was small and he liked that in a woman. Did it make him feel protective? Yeah, it did. And for someone who wondered if he didn’t do enough to save Ellen, he needed every little bit he could get now.

His palm and fingers gently rubbed and then squeezed Ava’s stomach and her eyes fluttered open. “Morning,” he said. “I was wondering if you were going to start snoring soon.”

“Only when I’m up for over twenty-four hours straight.”

“I was joking,” he said.

“I wasn’t. It happens during a residency. When you get a chance to nap, you do, but sometimes your body has other ideas.”

He couldn’t imagine that. “Hopefully you don’t find yourself up that long anymore,” he said.

“I hope not either, but stranger things have happened.” She stretched her arms over her head and he’d bet her toes were pointed under the covers.

“So, what is the plan today?”

“First thing on the list is a shower and then some food. I’m famished. That might have been the most exercise I’ve had in a night in years.”

“Me too,” he said.

“Cardio or something else?” she asked, her hand sliding under the sheets and grabbing a hold of his growing cock. He’d slept naked and it felt glorious after a few years of having shorts or pajama pants on in case Adele came into his room.

“Maybe both,” he said. “I wish we could have more of these.”

“I’m not sure my body could even handle it,” she said, letting out a little sigh, “but yours looks up to it.” She moved so fast, he didn’t have time to process anything before her mouth covered him under the sheets.

Thoughts of telling her she didn’t need to do that flew out of his brain when she all but swallowed him whole.

How was it possible to have this strong of a need again after what they’d shared last night?

“Lie back and relax,” she told him and he did what she said because he wasn’t sure he could argue with her.

She gripped the covers and pulled them over her head like a sealed tent and he wasn’t sure why she did that but then when she started to change her pressure and movements and caught him off guard he realized she knew exactly what she was doing.

Five minutes later, he was grunting out and then moaning as she didn’t let up or stop. She was sucking and licking up every drop of him, and he was sure he had never experienced that before.

When the covers lifted up over her head, he opened one eye to see her grinning at him. “Why do you look so worn out? I did all the work.”

He laughed and looked down. Guess he was wrong because there was a bit of mess, but not as much as there should be.

“I’m not sure what you did, but it sure the hell felt fabulous.”

“I’m a professional when it comes to body parts.”

“That’s women’s bodies,” he said.

“Believe what you want. Maybe I’ve studied up on men too.”

He wasn’t sure if she was joking or not, but felt the least he could do was return the favor and flipped her on her back. “If you’re such a pro, then tell me exactly what you want and where you want it.”

He spread her legs wide, his mouth going right to her core. Oh yeah, she was dripping wet and must have been turned on by what she’d done to him.

“The key is multiple actions and sensations at once,” she said.

He believed it because he couldn’t even focus on what she’d been doing to him nor could he have seen it. “Keep instructing me if I do it wrong,” he said, his tongue darting at her swollen bud, two fingers sliding inside of her and curving at the tip. She let out a little gasp and he said, “I’ve got some tricks of my own.”

“Yes, you do,” she said. “Keep doing that.”

He didn’t move his fingers other than using his fingertips inside to curve and straighten out. Her legs were twitching and he knew she was getting as worked up as he had been.

He closed his lips over her bud and started to suck at the same time.

She was lifting her hips trying to get him deeper so he moved his hand to help out.

The faster he flicked at his fingers, the more pressure he applied with his lips.

She started to moan, then she began to screech as he felt every vibration she seemed to have in her body.

When her hips went limp on the mattress he moved up and whispered in her ear, “Now who did all the work.”

She didn’t reply, but she smiled.

Ava was cleaning up breakfast while Seth threw his sheets in the washing machine. They’d dirtied them up pretty well last night and this morning and she was proud of it.

Adele would be here in about thirty minutes. Seth’s mother had texted and said Adele was begging to come home and if she could bring her earlier, but wanted to check.

Ava didn’t have a problem with it and she suspected that Mary Young wanted to
