Their Second Chance

Chapter 9: His mouth

Autumn Pov:

    I woke up and the bed was empty. My head moves to the left side of the bed and see that it is indeed empty. I look down at my ankle and see that the swelling is completely down. It’s skinny again, only the colors of the bruise is left. I don’t even know why he gave me the crutches.

     I wobble a little bit to the bathroom, and he isn’t there either. He left. I knew this will happen. I’m not sad for me but for Anna.

    I walk to her room and see it empty. Where is she? Anna wakes me up when she wakes up because she is hungry. I take the elevator and the doors open. I hear chatter from the kitchen. Is Nick here? I walk there and hear Anna and Ashton’s voices. He stayed. I’m such an i***t. But can you blame me? I thought he left again with no explanations.

    I look through the corner and see her sad. Is she okay? “Do you like my mom?” Why did she asked him that? “Yeah. I do. Why?” I hear him answer her. He does? I thought he only saw me attractive. “When the boys find out about me they stop coming around mommy.” Oh, my sweet baby. Is this why she asked him if he likes me?

    “Is that why she doesn’t date?” I look at them from a spot they don’t see me. She nods. “I want a dad. Like the other kids.” I feel like crying. My baby wants a dad? I always thought I was enough. Maybe I’m not. A mom’s love is one thing and a dad’s is another. Maybe I should start dating? No. I’m enough for her.

    “I love mommy so much. I don’t want her to feel like I don’t.” She’s about to cry but Ashton hugs her.

    “Your mom loves you with all her heart princess she won’t think that. You don’t need those boys that stopped liking your mom because of you. And if you want a dad, I’m here. Okay?” She smiles and gives him a kiss on the cheek. She starts to play with his hair once her mood changed. He wants to be her dad?

    I clean my face knowing that a few tears slip. I’m more confused than ever. Ashton moves away from Anna and gives Sammy his food.

    I move from my spot and see him asking her if she wanted to go with him to walk Sammy. I smile at the sight in front of me. He looks up and smiles once he sees me. I mouth him go and they left to walk Sammy. I see a cover plate in the middle of the counter with a note in it.

    Good morning, my beautiful. Anna woke me up. Said she was hungry and made breakfast for us. Heat it up in the oven for a little bit.

    I see he made scramble eggs, bacon, and mini pancakes. I eat it like that and went to make coffee. The pot was already full and had another note. Coffee done, beautiful. Enjoy breakfast. He is so thoughtful. It makes my heart beat faster by all of his gestures.

    It makes me want to give him another chance. Can I? Can I really give him another chance? I take a deep breath and make my coffee. I drank it fast as I started to feel a little headache coming. I go to my room and get ready for the day.

    I hear footsteps running down the hall. Their light so it must be Anna. “Mommy wake up.” She looks at my empty bed and frowns. “Mommy?” I’m standing in my closet’s door. I walk slowly towards her. I touch her shoulders and scream, “Boo.” She jumps from me “Ahhh. Mommy don’t do that.”

    I laugh and give her a kiss on the cheek. She pulls away and smiles at me. “Boo.” I jump like she did and put my hand on my chest. “Ashton don’t do that.” I hit him in the chest. Anna points at me and laughs. “Ash scared you mommy.” He laughs with her.

    “It’s not funny.” They continue to laugh. “Stop laughing.” I puff and walk out of the room.

    “Aw. Don’t be like that. It was only payback for scaring the princess.” I turn my head and give him a mean look.     “Whatever.” I walk to her room and make the bed. I hear them whispering in the hallway. What are they up to now?

    “Mommy can we play in the pool?” She blinks her eyes rapidly at me. Where did she learn that?

    Sarah clearly haven’t taught her that. Was it Kenneth or one of my sisters? It’s an endless pool of possibilities. “Fine but be careful sweetie.” Ashton walks in. “You staying?” I c****d my eyebrow and put my hand over my hip. “She invited me to play with her. I’m not going to deny her that.” He smiles.

    “You don’t have shorts for a swim.” I know that got him. But his smile doesn’t even faulters. “Yes I do.”

    What does he mean? “No you don’t.” He walks out of her room and goes to mine. Where is he going? I see him entering my closet. No, no, no. Why did I let him stay? He comes out with a swim short for man in his hand.

    “Isn’t the clothes mine? They are my size.” I drop my head and put my hand over my eyes.

    I ignore him. Not wanting to inflate his ego more than it already is. I walk to the closet and look for a swimsuit. “You’re not getting in.” I turn around. “Why not?” He points to my ankle. “It’s fine now.” He shakes his head.

    “You’re only going to hurt it more. No.” he walks away and comes back. “And that’s an order from your doctor.” Ashton walks over and I don’t move.

    He moves my hair behind my ear and leaves his hand over my cheek. “Beautiful.” I bit my lip.

    “You ready Ash?” He moves away hearing Anna. We turn around and see her behind us looking up. How much did she see? “No, let me change. Stay with your mom princess. I think she’s jealous of me spending time with you.” He whispers the last part to her, but I still heard it.

    She giggles and gives him a firm nod. He leaves us. I decided to change too. “You like him mommy?”

    “Yeah sweetie.” It’s better if she knows the truth. She looks through my drawers. “Me too. He’s nice to me. He makes me laugh. He’s different. The others ran.” Oh, I know. But she is partly to blame.

    Anna isn’t the angel she portraits she is. She was parent trapping me. Scaring them off and pulling pranks. So I stop dating. It’s one of the reasons why I stop.

    Ever since she could think she had always scared all the male from me. I thought it’s because she wanted me to herself. Now I know it’s because she didn’t like them. Or maybe she was testing them; their limits. I mean if they get scared easily by my little girl then I don’t want them in my life.

    “Good.” She has a mischievous smile on. What is she up to? I put on a one-piece white swimsuit. I take my sunglasses and black strappy sandals. “Done?” Ashton peeks through the door. I’m looking myself in the mirror and see him staring at my butt.

    “Are you?” I ask him with my right eyebrow lifted. I see him smirking through the mirror.

    “Not quite yet.” I turn and walk to him. I put a hard expression so that he doesn’t see my feelings. He always makes me putty under him. Like the ground is shaking and I can’t seem to find balance. One look from him and I’m crumbling down.

    I walk past him and down the stairs. I do it slowly, my ankle is much better than last night, but it is still bruise. I hear Anna laughing and Sammy barking from outside. I stop walking as I see them playing on the grass.

    Anna is throwing him his squeaky toy. Sammy retrieves it and gives it to her. “Thank you Sammy.” She pats him in the head, and he barks. She throws it again and he does the same. They do it a few more times. “It’s a beautiful view.” I smile more at his comment.

    “Yeah.” She’s my world. I would do anything to keep her happy. To be this carefree and content. I’m watching her with every love and affection I have towards her. No one can ruin this moment.

    “She’s lucky to have a mom like you.” I shake my head. “No. I’m the lucky one to have her.” I whispered to him.

    I turn and look at him. I can see admiration and care in him. Maybe even a little bit of affection too. Is it to me or Anna? Or both of us? He’s gaze is holding me. I don’t look at anything else, only him. “You both are.” He smiles. This is one of his grin ones. “Ash come on.” Anna yells at him.

    “Coming princess.” He winks and runs to her. I turn back to her just in time to see Sammy jump on him.

“You dog.” Anna jumps in too. Ashton tickles her, “Nooooo. Stop.” She’s out of breath but still with a smile on. It’s a beautiful moment. Can life get perfect? This is the moment you know that you don’t have to ask the universe for more. That this gift it’s enough. Is the risk to give him another opportunity worth it?

    I don’t want our hearts to get broken by him. But how can I protect them when he has already pushed himself into our lives? I lay on one of the chairs there and continue the tan that got interrupted yesterday. I see through my glasses that they are playing on the grass. I smile a little bit. Ashton looks at me and I put on an expressionless face.

    He would not see me smile or be happy because of him. I hear the passcode to the front door open and see a notification on my phone. I open it and see a photo of the front door with Sarah and Kenneth in it. “Where are my girls?” She yells and I lift my hand and wave it.

    “Hi.” She gives me a kiss on the cheek. Kenneth does the same. They look at my ankle.

    “Well it’s better than yesterday.” They see Anna and Ashton playing. “He stayed the night?” She asks me. It came out with a little hit of amusement. “Yes. He didn’t want to leave, and I wasn’t in the mood to fight him.”

    They greet each other. I’m laying down on my stomach. “Mommy.” I look at Anna in front of me. And put my hand around her little waist. “What princess?” She gives me a kiss and then another at my cheeks. “What was that for?”

    “One from me. The second kiss from Ash.” She runs off to the pool. “Don’t run.” Ashton yells at her.

    I was going to do that. He acts more and more like a father to her. It’s sweet what his doing, but I need to put a stop to it. She’s my daughter not his. Sarah walks over to me. “Can I borrowed one of your bras?” She asks me while trying to accommodate the one she has on.

    “Yeah. Is that one bothering you?” She nods and groans. “Already?” I get up and walk with her to the house.

    “Yes. Kenneth is loving it, obviously. He likes that my boobs and butt and belly are getting bigger. But it’s so uncomfortable having this changes in my body. Don’t get me wrong I love being pregnant, but you know. You went through this.”

    I know how she feels. While I was pregnant with Charlotte my body was in constant changing. Once I settle for one change another one started.

    “I know. Are the morning sickness bad, horrible, or painful?” I ask her. From what I can remember mine was pleasant, to describe it. “All of the above’s. I’m hoping to not be like the ones that have it the entire pregnancy.”

    We walk to my closet. She’s asking to borrow one of my bras since my boobs are bigger than hers. I open the drawer and she looks through them. She takes a nude bra and starts changing in front of me. “Oh, this one is pretty. I haven’t seen it before.” I see the black with some lace bra she’s looking at.

    “Bought it a few months ago. Haven’t use it.” I look at her and see that she put my bra on. It actually fits her. “Better?”

    “Yes!” I laugh. “Try it on.” She’s referring to the black with lace bra. “And the matching panty too. I know you buy them in pair.” I groan and put them on. “I love it. Where did you buy them?”

    “My bad.” I turn and see Ashton there. Sarah already had her shirt on. She has a playful smirk on.

    “It’s okay. I was just leaving.” Ashton nods still looking at me. She lefts us, not before winking at me. She planned this didn’t she?

     “I’m taking Anna out to the movies. Have fun.” And I hear the door of my room closing. He stares at me, and I wait for him to react. His mouth is slightly open. “Are you going to drool? Because if you are let me get the bucket.”

This snap him out of his trance. “Can you blame? Your f*****g sexy. I want to eat you out.”

    “Get out.” He shakes his head. “Now Ashton.” His legs start moving towards me. “Ashton.” My voice is shaky. I walk backwards and stop against the shelves. He doesn’t stop until he is in front of me and cages me. I gulped down my non-existent saliva and find the strength to snap out of it. “What are you doing here?” His eyes look at my lips and licks his.

    “Ashton.” I look anywhere but his face. “Autumn.” His voice is low and rough. Just the way I like it.

    No, this can’t happen. Why did Sarah left me with him? What was going through her mind? Right, she is only thinking with her pregnancy hormones. “Move.” He doesn’t move and I try to go down his arms. He moves them down and I groan.

    “I’m not letting you go, Autumn.” He is trying to see my eyes, but I close them. “Not this time.” He starts kissing my neck slowly. Taking his time. “Hmmm. Still smells like coconut.” I feel his tongue lick every place his mouth kissed.

    “Ashton.” I plead him to stop. I have to stop this. I use my hands to push him away, but it doesn’t work. He’s still stronger than me. I bite my lips not wanting the moans to escape. His hands roam my body. He squeezes and holds my butt, hips, breasts and finally my waist.

    Ashton’s lips goes to my chest, and he kisses me there. His mouth feels incredible against my skin. He grips my waist and pulls me more to his body. My breath is coming short and heavy. I throw my head back. “I miss you.” He tells me along his kisses over my breasts.

    He moves down my stomach. I hold on to the shelves. He parts my legs with his hands and moves his face over my cunt. “Mine.” I close my eyes feeling his face over my cunt as he smells my arousal. “Please.” I plead him.

    I don’t know for what anymore. If to stop or to continue. He stands again and kisses me. It’s a soft passionate kiss. I’ve miss them. I missed everything about him. The way he makes me feel. Nobody has ever satisfy me as he has. I always end up comparing all the guys I go out or f**k with to him.

    Not only in a s****l way, but emotional and physical too. I respond the kiss, longing for it for years.

    I feel him put his hands on the back of my thighs and I jump over him. I’m letting my desires and lust consume me. He holds me tight, and I put my hands around his neck. I stare into his blue eyes as he stares into my green ones. “There they are.” I give him a small smile.

    Ashton walks us to my bed. “It’s been two f*****g long weeks. I see you and all I want is to make you mine again.” I kiss him too rough, fast, and desperate. “Kitten,” he pulls away. “Slow down.” I look at him. “I’m not going anywhere.”

    My eyes squint. I don’t know if to believe him. For now I will. I put my head on his shoulder and hug him tight. His hands are holding me tight too. He puts me in the bed and pulls away. I look at his bare chest. His hands trail my thighs and I arch my back. They’re close to my entrance. I already know that my panties are soaking wet from my juices.

    I haven’t even use them in public. I’m desperate to feel him inside of me again after all this years. Flashes of that nigh come back to me. We did it on my kitchen, my room, my bed, the floor, the couch, against a wall, against a door, in the bathroom, everywhere. Ashton’s lips pull me away from the memories.

    I kiss him back moving my hands to his ass. It’s bare. I look down and see that he’s naked. His hips are moving slowly against my bed, his rubbing himself against it. He must be really hard. I see that I’m naked too. He most have done it while I was remembering that night. “Are you sure?” My mind is full of oxytocin.

    But I know that it’s still my decision. I give him a short nod. “Yes.” He stares at me one more time and drops his face again over my cunt. He licks and bites every part of my vulva. I grip his hair with force. “Mhm.” I arch my back a little. His hand encircles my waist and holds me down.

    “Ash…” I don’t get to finish as I feel my orgasm rip through me. That was fast.

     I’m panting. I didn’t even felt it coming. He lifts his head and see his lips shiny from my juices. “That was way too fast.” I bit my lip, and he kisses me. “It’s been a while.” He chuckles against our lips. “Good.” Ashton mumbles and goes back down. Kneeling between my legs.

    “I’m going to enjoy all of you, beautiful.” He kisses inside my thighs and then move up my c**t. I grip the sheets as he sucks there. It makes me feel wonderful. “Oh,” how I’ve miss his mouth. “There.” I grip his hair. “f**k. Please don’t stop.” He chuckles against my c**t sending vibrations throughout my body.

    I don’t want this sensation to end. I want to give him every little bit of me. As I want him to do the same.
