“Come on, l-let’s g-go get warmed up,” Mason stutters through trembling lips and wraps his arm around me, leading me toward the house. “R-race you to the h-house?”
Rolling my eyes at his teasing, I giggle through my chattering teeth, then wrap my arm around him, snuggling in closer as we stumble up to the house.
ChapterFourteen
MASON
Ava snuggles into me closer while we sit on the sofa, watching the flames of the fire dance over the wood in the fireplace.
After rummaging through my grandfather’s old clothing, I’d managed to dig out a pair of sweatpants for myself and a robe for Ava to wear while we wait for our clothing to dry near the fireplace. But in all honesty, I’m in no hurry for them to get dry and have even considered dumping them back in the harbor again so that I can keep her here longer.
“What kind of doctor do you want to be?” Ava’s soft voice breaks the silence, and I angle my head down to hers, resting on my shoulder. “Is there a particular field you want to specialize in?”
“I want to be an ER physician,” I reply.
She looks up at me. “Why emergency?”
“The night my father got into a car accident—” I pause, clearing the lump forming in my throat. “A deer ran out in front of his car, causing him to lose control. The car rolled five times before colliding with a tree. Someone happened to be passing by at the time and called emergency services. He was in critical condition when he arrived at the hospital. He…” My voice starts to waver as the emotions I usually mask so well start seeping through my impenetrable shield. Ava’s arms tighten around me in reassurance, and I continue, “He had a punctured lung and internal bleeding. They did everything they could, but as they were prepping him to go into emergency surgery, he went into cardiac arrest and passed away.”
Exhaling a breath, I rest my head on top of Ava’s. “After that, I decided to dedicate my life to medicine. I want to be that guy on the front line who fights to save people as soon as they come in the door. I will fight with everything I have to make sure as many fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters make it home to their families.”
Rain starts lightly tapping on the roof above us as we sit in silence for a moment. Ava shifts and sits up, sliding onto my lap and straddling me. Her eyes search mine, a look of understanding swimming within her crystal blue depths. The kind of understanding that only comes from someone who knows what it’s like to lose someone you love and how the pain never really leaves you even though it lessens.
She removes my glasses, places them on the side table, and then cups my face, resting her forehead against mine. “You are so beautiful, Mason.”
Closing my eyes, I inhale her scent and revel in the comfort that the joining of our foreheads brings. The warmth of her breath fans across my face as she moves in closer, brushing her lips against mine teasingly before finally sealing them together in a kiss.
Swiping her tongue over my bottom lip, she coaxes my mouth open, and I reach up, gripping the back of her neck and delving into her mouth in an all-consuming kiss. My cock hardens, and she rotates her hips, driving her pelvis into mine—the heat of her bare pussy seeping through the single layer of fabric separating us.
Breaking the kiss, Ava regards me for a moment, her expression unreadable before shifting off my lap and standing up in front of me. Reaching her hand out to mine, I take hold of it, and she gives me a gentle pull until I’m standing up straight in front of her.
Untying the knot in her robe, she opens it slowly, reaching up to remove it from her shoulders then letting it fall behind her. My breath quickens, and my mouth runs dry as my eyes roam over her flawless golden skin, drinking in the delicious curve of her waist connecting to her hips, the smooth mound of her hairless pubis, and the defined tone of those slim legs that I’m dying to have wrapped around me.
Her gaze drifts down to my sweatpants before slowly moving back up and meeting mine. I loop my fingers in the top of my sweatpants and slide them down, removing them completely.
Ava places her hands on my chest, trailing them up to the back of my neck and pulling me forward until our foreheads meet again. That simple act of intimacy makes my heart swell in my chest, and I close my eyes, basking in the warmth of her affection.
All of a sudden, music fills my ears, and my eyes snap open to Ava humming a tune, her blue orbs sparkling with mischief as she stares back at me.
“Are we making a porno, Ava?” I smirk.
“No.” She shakes her head, the mischievous gleam fading and being replaced with burning desire. “We are making love.”
Our mouths crash together, and I grasp onto her butt cheeks, lifting her up, and she automatically wraps her legs around my waist.
I carry her through to the bedroom and lay her down on the large four-post bed, mentally thanking myself for turning on that old lamp in the corner earlier.
I want to see every inch of her.
The light is dimmed by the heavy fabric of the lampshade, casting a soft glow across her skin, her light tan appearing slightly deeper in contrast to the stark white duvet underneath her.
Crawling over her body, I settle myself between her legs and take her mouth with mine again. She wraps her arms around me tighter, and we devour each other, only breaking apart to catch our breaths before colliding together again.
Reaching up to cup her breast, I massage her nipple with my thumb, then break away from her lips and seal my mouth over it as a soft whimper escapes from her.
Descending lower, I take my time to kiss my way down to her hips, then look up and lock eyes with hers. Shuddering breaths escape her parted lips as her hooded eyes watch my every move, and I continue my journey down lower, stopping once I’m settled between her legs.
Placing small kisses on her mound, her hand moves through my hair as she looks down at me with wide eyes. “Mason. I…” she stammers. “No one has ever donethatto me before.”
