Chapter 12
Asher
I curl my fingers into her dress, holding it to her hips as I thrust back into her wet, tight pussy.
“Asher, please,” Ava begs.
She claws at the table I have her bent over. I fuck her from behind, pressing her face into the wood. The long drive has meant too many hours of not touching her, and I’m ravenous. I grab one of her legs, lifting her knee onto the table and opening her up for me more.
The new angle has her letting out desperate, filthy moans as I press my cock as deep as I can. I fan my hands over her ass, squeezing her cheeks as I rut harder into her.
“Fuck. It’s never enough,” I grit out between my teeth.
She clamps down on me, shuddering as she comes, and I struggle not to follow her in release. I keep thrusting and Ava moans, arching to press back into me.
“ Please . Please come inside me.”
My eyes roll back. I can never hold back when she begs for my cum, and she knows it. My cock swells and then pulses as I spill wave after wave of my seed, coating her inner walls.
“Damn it, Ava,” I groan, keeping my pelvis flush against her ass as the last few drops are wrung out of my balls.
She giggles between panting breaths. “We don’t have time for you to keep going.”
I hate that she’s right, but I don’t want to be done either. Pulling my softening length out of her, I sigh at the sight of my cum leaking out of her pretty pussy. Her hand reaches out to me, holding my phone which I grab with a smirk. It’s taken some convincing, but I’ve shown her the beauty of memorializing things with photos.
As soon as I grab the device, her fingers curl around her cheeks to open herself up for the camera and I snap a few shots.
“I should frame these.”
“As long as you don’t hang them where anyone can see. Especially my dad,” she scolds, turning onto her back to stare at me.
It’s only been a few months since Ava moved in with me after she graduated, and her father has already walked in to find us fucking. Granted she was the one who gave him a key and told him to drop by whenever. I doubt he’ll be doing that again anytime soon.
I leave the phone on the table next to her and grab a few towels to clean us both up. Then I take her hand and pull her against my chest, squeezing her ass.
“Go change into something warmer. Let’s take a walk while we wait for your dad and aunt.”
She grins, bouncing to the bedroom to change and I walk to the pantry, moving around to find the tin of crackers my brother should have placed there yesterday. Ava thinks we’re the first ones up here and we’re waiting for everyone to arrive later today and tomorrow, but we’re the last.
My heart skips a beat when I grab the small black box and stuff it into my coat hanging up by the door. When her dad expressed that Ava likes visiting a cabin during the winter, it only gave me a few months to plan. I know she has no idea what’s about to happen because she never expected this part. Or maybe she did and didn’t hope for it so soon.
I wait for her by the door in my coat and boots, trying to keep my nerves down. There’s no reason to be nervous since I know she won’t say no. But still, the idea of marrying Ava is something I never considered until my brother hit logic upside my head.
“How do I look?” she asks, spinning to show me her tight dark jeans that hug her ass and her thick black shirt for warmth.
“Like I should strip you of your jeans and fuck your ass.”
She rolls her eyes, prancing over to me as I hold out her jacket and zip her up. “Is it cold enough that I need gloves or are some hand warmers in my pockets enough?”
“Warmers,” I tell her and grab some for both of us.
She shivers as I open the door and her little nose instantly runs red. “God, I love and hate the cold.”
I smirk. “Kind of like when I fuck your ass.”
Ava sighs. “Okay, fine. You can fuck my ass tonight. Enough with the hints.”
A laugh rumbles out of my throat and I grab her chin, pressing a kiss to her lips. “Thank you, Pet.”
We’ve only tried anal once, and she expressed how much she didn’t enjoy it. And while the pleasure of her tight hole nearly snapped my dick off, I’ve respected her choice. I won’t even fuck her ass tonight, but anything to keep her mind off what she’s about to walk into.
She entangles our fingers and a warmth flickers in my chest. It’s something we had to avoid for weeks in public while we finished out the semester. And now we both take every opportunity to touch one another.
“Come. I want to see a spot by the lake I researched.” I pull her along the small path behind the cabin, an ache in my throat growing with each step.
“How far are we from your brother’s cabin? I brought the gifts for the kids, and I wanted to double-check with Rachel before wrapping them.”
I squeeze her hand. “I think they’ll appreciate whatever you got.”
She sighs. “I know, but I just want to be sure because with the newborn…”
Ava trails off as the clearing comes into view. There’s a small bonfire going, the benches surrounding are cleared of snow, and tealight candles are scattered all over them. Her steps slow but I pull her closer to the fire. There’s a half-ring of white petals and tall white candles right where the dirt gives away to the rocks of the shore.
Her eyes are wide when I drag us toward the flowers and then face her. A gasp escapes her when I kneel and pull the black box out of my pocket. The ring is a timeless classic 1.5 carat oval diamond on a gold band.
“Asher.” Ava’s voice trembles.
I lick my lips and blow out a breath. “I told you I couldn’t give you romance—but I wanted to give you this—because of how we began. Ava, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t want you by my side. I promise you forever, however that may look for you and me. Marry me.”
Tears are streaming down her face and she quickly wipes them away and puts out her hand. “That wasn’t a question, but yes, a million yeses. I want to marry you.”
I slide the ring on her and stand, kissing her deeply. Ava moans into my mouth and I pull her closer, my hands wrapping around her waist. She pulls away as loud cheering and whistling echoes around us and I sigh, turning to face both our families.
“Oh my god!” Her fingers dig into my side before she runs and hugs her dad.
My brother claps me on the shoulder. “Congrats, man! I never thought I’d see the day!”
Ava hugs her aunt next before coming back to where we’re standing and hugging my brother.
“I can’t believe you’re all here,” she says excitedly.
I pull her back to my side and kiss her temple. “I figured you’d want them here.”
“I do, thank you. I can’t believe you asked,” she mutters into my coat.
Leaning down, I whisper into her ear. “My brother told me that Asher and Ava Rockford sounded like something out of old movies. And I realized how much I need your last name to match mine.”
She smiles, a mischief glittering in her eyes. “To own me completely?”
I growl. “To own you completely, my beautiful pet.”
