~ Liam's POV ~

Ava lead me to the men's locker room, glancing around to make sure it was empty and locking the door behind us.

What is she- oh fuck yes.

Yanking my face down to hers, her lips exuded hunger and need, matching my own as I lifted her, guiding her legs around my waist and striding towards the showers. She smiled against my mouth, slipping her tongue against mine and deepening the kiss. Gripping her knees tighter at my hips, she ground herself against me, groaning and moving her body against mine.

My cock jerked, hardening immediately and straining against the heat of her core. Irritated at the cloth separating us, I reached between our bodies and promptly ripped her leggings open, grinning against her lips at the gasp that left them.

Plunging my fingers into her clenching depths, she moaned my name, the sexiest sound I knew I'd never get enough of. The woman I knew I'd never get enough of.

The cold realization that Tex was going to try harder and harder to take her away from me and Miles slammed into me and I felt my control snap.

I turned the water on, setting the water slightly cool and then put Ava down on her feet. She stared up at me, entirely confused when I stepped back out of the water stream.

"Liam, the fucking water's cold!" She gasped, moving to run out, but I shook my head.

"Strip."

"Liam, it's-"

"Ava. Strip."

She shivered, though I wasn't sure if it was from my sex-deepened voice or the water. Stripping slowly, I saw the second her desire reheated her chilled body.
Her nipples hardened more, body shuddering as her hands pushed her leggings off, now standing naked in front of me. Shucking my shorts off, her gaze followed the movement of my hand, lowering to stroke my cock from base to tip, dipping my thumb in the slit and palming back down, the vivid memory of her lips wrapped around me teasing my senses.

"Liam, please..." she groaned, soaked under the shower stream.

"Touch yourself, Ava. I want to watch you lose yourself, sweetheart. I want to watch every bit of you. God, you're fucking beautiful."

Her mouth dropped open, hands shaking, but she grazed them up her thighs, one stopping at her bare pussy, the other lifting to her breast. Circling her clit, she simultaneously pinched at her hard nipple, moaning and spreading her thighs to give her hand better access.

Closing her eyes, she dropped her head back against the wall.

"Open them, Avery. Open your eyes. I need to see you."

Dark hazel eyes glowed back at me, her pupils dilating at the pleasure she was giving herself. Her lips parted, a moan emanating from her throat as her knees began to shake.

"Just a little more, Ava. Come on."

Watching her come undone in front of me was the biggest aphrodisiac I'd ever known. Miles had, of course, been right in knowing what we all needed, but seeing the love she held for us both, watching her let herself go in front of us both, trusting us, it was everything I never knew I needed. She was everything I never knew I could have.

She gasped, shaking, her hand dropping from her clit and slapping at the wall behind her.

Closing the gap between us, I grabbed her hips and quickly lifted her, lining my cock up with her still-spasming pussy and plunging home.

"Fuck!" I growled, biting back against the hot pleasure surrounding my dick. Pressing her tighter against the wall, I thrust inside of her, the sound of our skin slapping together echoing through the shower and locker room.

Fuck, I could die of pure bliss fucking this woman.

Ava tunneled her fingers into my hair, pulling at the strands and leaning down to kiss me, her tongue immediately sliding into my mouth.

Thrown into another orgasm, she screamed against my lips, grinding her hips in sync with mine to prolong her climax, driving me quickly to my own. Slamming a fist against the tiled wall, my cock jerked, spilling my release inside of her, her muscles milking me greedily.

"I love you. God, I fucking love you." She whispered, her lips tickling over my neck.

Breathing hard, I pulled my fist from its resting place on the wall and wrapped it in her hair, pulling her impossibly closer. Needing her to hear my heart beating for her alone, I held her against me, turning the water warmer as we cooled down.

"Liam... if Tex does get to me, do you think I'd actually be okay?"

I tensed at her question, forcing the thought of losing her from my mind.

"Ava, nothing's-"

"Don't. Don't say nothing's going to happen. It might and you know it."

Her pleading voice broke my heart because I knew she was right. Tex had had years to figure out ways to get to us, and once Ava had stepped into our lives, he'd found the best way.

I shivered when she ran her hands through my hair and down my neck, still comforting me when she was terrified herself.

Fucking hell, I love this woman.

"We're going to do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen, Ava. I promise you."

She nodded, smiling softly at me, love and uncertainty in her beautiful eyes.

"If you're ever in a situation where you need to know how to fight, I'm confident that you'd at least be able to hold your own long enough for us to get to you. You're fast. And strong enough that if you can attack first, you can have the upper hand."

Her head dropped to my shoulder, her voice barely audible through the stream of hot water. "And if he takes me? Catches me off guard? What if you can't find me?"

My body froze, the blood in my veins turning to ice at the thought of her enduring the beatings and torture Miles and I had years before. The thought of her chained up like an animal because I knew she'd fight back as long as she could.

The image of the young, emaciated girl Miles and I had found eleven years prior plowed its way into my head. She'd been chained like an animal, as Luke had been, because she had fought for her life. She'd been the only one we'd found alive that day and the realization that that could be Avery if Tex took her broke me.

Hugging her tighter against me, I clamped my eyes shut and forced the image from my mind, needing to figure out any way I could to keep her safe from that horror.

"What if he tries to torture me to get to you and Miles? What do I do if he-"

"Ava, sweetheart, I'll die before that could happen. I refuse to let you get hurt because of something I did."

"But-"

"No. No. I cannot lose you. I'm not strong enough to lose you, too. We'll figure this all out and keep you safe."

She sighed, nodding and leaning into my chest.

Shutting the water off a minute later, we got dressed in a heavy silence, the unspoken knowledge of my wishful thinking looming over us.

"I promise you, Ava. As long as we're around, no one will touch you. Miles and I would put ourselves on the line before ever letting anyone hurt you."

She smiled sadly over at me, walking towards the locker room door, pausing with her hand on the handle. Turning to look back at me, her eyes darkened in a haunting gaze.

"I know you would, Liam. That's what I'm afraid of."
