“Let me fuck you until I cum. It’s almost over, baby.”
Not even a full minute passed before his groans filled the room, and his load burst inside me. Out of breath, he slowly pulled out, and no words were exchanged. I figured he’d immediately unstrap me and let me go, but he didn’t. I stayed in place, catching my breath as I listened to him move around the room. He left me there for a full five minutes before undoing the restraints and pulling me to him. We stood toe to toe with my face cupped in his hands. His eyes studied mine, and I studied his.
“When I tell you to do something, you do it. If you don’t listen, you face the consequences like a big girl. Let’s not have this problem again, Amore. You understand that?”
“Yes.” I blinked away the tears trying to form.
Leaning down, he placed a kiss on my lips. Talk about some act right. He didn’t have to worry about me anymore after that. Whatever daddy says goes.
CHAPTER 18
Ethan Whitmore
When I got the call from Ace about Ava, that shit caused my blood pressure to elevate. On the outside, I held myself together. But on the inside, I was fuming. I was mad as fuck. I understood we were just kickin’ it and having fun, but in the back of my mind, Ava was my girl. I mean, once that divorce was finalized, I would make sure that happened. The way I felt, all types of ways to punish her ran through my head. Had we been official, shit would’ve gone differently. But since our relationship was fresh and developing, I had to calculate my moves in another way. Either way, I made my point. I broke her down just the way I wanted.
She was facing some serious charges. Assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism, and child endangerment. I had Charles pull a few strings to get more information about what happened. After getting the full story, Charles was able to have all the charges disappear as if nothing happened. That’s one of the perks of being a billionaire. Money always talked. Plus, Charles was owed a few favors, so it wasn’t nothing for him to make shit shake. It took a little longer than I expected for her to be released, but I got her out of there. I could understand why she blacked out, but what pissed me off was the fact that she had Savannah with her.
“Are you sore?” I asked.
She had just come out of the bathroom. We were up early because I had a few things to take care of, and I had to get her over to Julia’s to pick up Savannah.
“A little bit.” She slid her shirt on.
“Good.” I smirked.
“That’s not funny, Ethan.” She rolled her eyes.
We continued to maneuver around the room, getting ready in silence. I watched as she fixed her hair in the mirror. So beautiful. If I could stand and stare at her all day, I would. The sound of my phone ringing broke my gaze, and I answered. It was Julia.
“Good morning!” She sounded cheerful.
“Good morning.”
“How is she?”
“She’s good.” I glanced over at Ava. “We’re about to head your way in a few minutes.”
“Oh, okay. Savannah is up watching cartoons. We just got finished eating breakfast.”
“Alright, cool. We’ll see y’all in a minute.” I ended the call.
I had a lot of shit on my plate for the day. After I dropped Ava and Savannah off, I had to go to the nursing home to meet with a team about discharging my mother. For a while now, I had wanted to bring her to live with me. Now that I had more free time, it put me in the position to make those moves. I had already lined up a schedule for home healthcare to come in and help. I knew she would need around-the-clock supervision, although she didn’t move around much. I had even started changing stuff around in my guest bedroom and ordering all the right equipment to make sure she’d be comfortable.
I had another idea in mind, but I wasn’t sure how that would work out until I asked. Ava was talking about resigning from the company, which I didn’t want her to do. Either way, I had an opportunity to keep her around and even closer to me.
“Have you thought about when you’re coming back to work?” I asked.
“Not really. I’m too embarrassed to show my face after everyone has literally seen me naked.” She rolled her eyes.
“Your body is a work of art. There ain’t shit you should be embarrassed about. If anything, I should be the one feeling a way about it.” I slapped her ass.
“I’ve been thinking about rebranding my catering business. I mean, right now, it’s just a thought. I want to get the house and a new car out of the way first.” She shrugged.
“What kind of car do you want?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” she shrugged. “I haven’t laid eyes on what I like and can afford yet.”
“Take the price off the table. Tell me what you like.”
