Grabbing his hair, I pull his head back to speed up the pace as his hands run over my backside and rake me against him. A desperate moan leaves me as I feel his thick, rock hard length against my own clothed mound. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready to be touched again, as if I hadn't needed it this entire time. Just a moment to feel loved and cherished once more.

Even if it wasn't by the man I always hoped it would be.

"Wait." Ethan breathes out just as my tongue begins to taste the smooth skin of his neck. "Ava, wait just a second."

"You don't want me?" I ask as I look up at him with panting breaths.

"No, no, no. Hell yes I want you. But are you sure? I know I'm..."He stops and sighs as he tucks some hair behind my ear, "I know I'm not...him."

A tinge of hurt glows behind his eyes and it hits me that this is much more for him than just getting laid. Over the years, everyone knows how much he's fallen for me and it's not like he's great at hiding that fact. A friendship was all he was ever able to have, but now that same glimmer of hope he's held on to is also the same glimmer of fear he has.

And he's right. He's not...him. He'll never be him, but holding on to my past is preventing me from living my life. From moving on and allowing myself to love again - or at least feel again. As I look down at his beautiful face and stare into those deep brown eyes that hold such a beautiful soul within them, I know what I should say.

"You're not him. But I want to be with you." I lean down and slowly kiss his lips again, asking for permission to continue with what we both so desperately need - in one way or another.

He answers me by kissing me a bit deeper and pulling at the bow tied on my halter top, making the black satin fall from my neck and around my bare breasts. When his warm hands cover them, a shiver shoots down my spine and I grind down on him in response as a breathy moan uncontrollably leaves me.

"You're so beautiful." He lovingly says as he begins to move down my neck and chest until his tongue laps over the ultra-sensitive pebbled flesh that's been craving to be adored.

Ruffling my right hand in his messy hair, I grip on to the back of the couch with my left at the same time. His hips flex upwards as his tongue flicks against my nipple and his fingers pinch and roll the other. As much as I try to hold back, the sounds escaping me are out of my control. My blood is boiling and the goosebumps trailing along my arms tell me that I need more.

Much more.

"Bedroom." I whisper into his ear and his manhood jumps in response.

"Are you sure?" He asks one more time.

"Ethan...quit being nice and fuck me." I scold him as I stand up from his lap.

His eyebrows raise and his breath hitches at my demand as I turn and whip off my shirt from over my head. Quickly, he stands and jogs up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my shoulder as we both make our way to his waiting bed.

I've been in his room before to grab something or use his en-suite bathroom when the main bathroom was occupied, but tonight this place seems foreign. Even the dark gray bedspread looks new compared to the other times I've seen it. The clean linen scent throughout the room and the glow from the moonlight creeping in between the slits of the blinds adds to the erotic feeling of his hands and tongue teasing me as he turns me around and lifts me onto the tall bed.

Grabbing the hem of his shirt, I pull it off of him to view his body for the first time. His full sleeve tattoos snake around to his back and his muscular chest flexes under my touch. His toned abs ripple under his skin as his deep V snakes under the waistband of his boxer briefs that peeks out from the tops of his jeans.
