I crave that.
To be loved by someone who will go out of their way to ensure you are happy.
I feel that when I’m with Chloe. She’s been my best friend for five years and in that time, I’ve grown to love her above everything and everyone else. As for Zane, the way he looks at me, the way his body reacts to our nearness, the feeling I get inside of me when I’m around him. It gives me hope, hope that one day I might have that too.
Zane flips over the frame and on the back, written in the prettiest handwriting is a quote.
“Family isn’t always who we are given, but those few we find along our path of life. Strangers we chose to replace the familiar, end up being the thing that makes us feel whole.”
I swear I see a teardrop fall upon his cheek as he stares at her with adoring eyes. The tension in the room is at its highest peak, ready to be cut through with the dullest of blades. It’s almost that time I can feel it.
I open mine and both of them immediately turn to me. Under watchful eyes, I slowly peel off the wrapping paper and find a photograph of Chloe and I, from my birthday trip earlier this year. We’re also laughing and holding hands, standing in front of the Ferris wheel at the end of summer carnival back home. The sunset is glowing beautifully behind us, our hair colors blending into the different shades of the sky. This is what my relationship with Chloe is all about. The two of us, bonded together, two souls fading into one. I’ve met no one like her, and I now know I never want her out of my life. I love Chloe O’Connell and she loves Zane Anderson.
I flip it over as well, finding Chloe’s handwriting.
“Best friends forever, sisters for life, and soulmates till the end of time.”
Now it’s me who sheds a tear. I've finally found where I belong, who I belong with. I won’t lose her. I won’t lose them. I will make sure of that.
I jump toward Chloe and wrap my arms around her neck. “I love you Chlo, more than anything.”
“I know Avery, I love you too.”
I step back releasing her, and look around at the two of them, suddenly nervous and embarrassed that I didn’t get them something, but I don’t have time to say anything before Zane stands and pulls two small boxes out of his robe pocket.
“My turn,” he mutters, handing us each a red box.
Chloe opens hers first and pulls out a beautiful necklace - a delicate silver chain with a heart-shaped diamond in the center. “Zane, this is beautiful,” she exclaims, running to hug him. I don’t miss the way his hands wrap around her waist lingering on her ass for a second.
She holds the necklace up to her neck. “Let me,” Zane says, grabbing the necklace out of her hand and wrapping it around her neck. The diamond heart charm falls right above the crook of her cleavage, both our eyes lowering to admire it.
It’s now or never. I open the box in my hands, stunned by what I find. It’s diamonds of course, but what shocks me is the type of jewelry, not so much the luxury. Two barbells with diamonds on each end, real diamonds. Zane bought me a fucking pair of expensive as fuck nipple rings.
Daddyis so ready to play.
Fucking-finally!
I strut toward him, intentionally slow and sensual, a wicked grin teasing my dark, cherry red lips. Broody green eyes watch me keenly, every step I take mirroring the rapid pulse of the vein visibly throbbing in his neck. Chloe’s eyes also widen in surprise, the anticipation of what’s about to happen, the excitement, leaving her breathless.
“Are you going to offer to put these on me too, Zane?” I murmur, in my most seductive tone. His eyes darken to the point I can barely see his dilated pupils. Though instead of backing away like I expect him to, he steps forward to meet me.
“You couldn’t handle it if I tried, sweetheart.” He leans in closer, erotically whispering low enough for only me to hear. “But I’ll settle for picturing how good they’re going to look on those perky little nips.”
“Why picture it when I’ve been offering it up for you to take?” I whisper, looking behind him at Chloe who stands with her jaw dropped open. I reach out and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him down to meet me. “Why don’t you want to play with us, daddy?” I moan, and his eyes shoot wide in astonishment at my boldness.
I take the opportunity and slam his lips down on me, catching him off guard. I tug and bite on his bottom lip as he fights against me before giving in.
However, I pull away, just as he gets into a rhythm. “I didn’t get you anything, but I wanted to thank you, Zane. For allowing Chloe to drag my ass here and not let me spend another Christmas alone.” I kiss him again, this time slowly and steadily, taking my time to explore every inch of his mouth. It’s so fucking erotic, the way he moans into my mouth with every swipe of my tongue. He tastes so good, like cinnamon and whiskey, my favorite flavor. I feel him grip my ass and he pulls me closer pressing his erection into me.
That’s right daddy, you’re almost ready, and I know just how to push you over the edge.
I push away from him, my hands trailing down his rock hard abs. “Have a good night Zane, and thanks again.”
I walk away from him and up to Chloe, who looks just as confused, having no fucking clue what it is I’m doing.
“Where are you going?” Zane asks bewildered yet so fucking aroused.
“It’s time I give my thanks to Chloe.” I look over my shoulder, my gaze trailing down to the rock hard bulge in his shorts and give him a sexy wink. “I owe her a present.”
