Acceptance
“I have to get back to the kitchen now,” Nani said, and turned to leave her behind with him.
Ava slowed her steps as she approached him, she hadn’t seen him since the day of her incident, and she couldn’t believe that she was telling herself this, but she’d missed him badly.
“How are you feeling now?” Lucas asked as he followed her into the bedroom.
“Much better now. I want to thank you for saving my life, Lucas. I have to admit that that’s the most selfless thing anyone has ever done for me.”
“No need to thank me Ava, you are mine, you belong to me, and I will always protect what is mine.”
She changed the topic.
“I would like to stay.”
“What?”
“In your room the other day, you said you’d like if I could stay here for a bit. I’d love to stay.”
“Well, thank you for your consideration. I’m sure you’ll feel very welcome here.”
Silence stretched between the two parties, each of them knowing their needs, knowing what their hearts wanted, but waiting for the other to say it first. Ava proceeded.
“I would like to show you my appreciation, I would like …” she’d promised herself she wouldn’t allow this before, but the time has been delayed for too long, they’d both denied each other for too long, and now, it was all she wanted.
She went on her knees before him, submitting just like he did the day he claimed her in the drawl forest.
“I would like to give you my body,” she said with her head bent.
Lucas scowled.
“I thought I told you I don’t have any interest to touch you anymore Ava, how do you want me to accept you when I know you’ll still return to him?”
