𝑀𝓎 𝑀𝒶𝓃#1~When Love Lasts
Chapter 47

The next morning, I woke up alone. Cedric was gone. He had done what he wanted to do with my body multiple times, then he kissed me goodnight and told me he loved me.

It was hard watching him leave out the bedroom. I wanted to badly call him back into the room and sleep on his chest.

I needed what he did tonight. Since the accident, him and my bedroom activities were not the same. Which is what upset me the most.

I know it's not all about sex but I wanted to be happy and have amazing earth-shattering sex with my man.

It may sound silly to some, but it hurt when I would dress myself up, only for Cedric to kiss me goodnight and hold me. He told me plenty of times my scar didn't bother him, but with him not touching me, I found it hard to believe.

When I walked downstairs and found Anna in the kitchen, she reminded me that today was her mother's birthday and we needed to be there around noon.

I had completely forgotten about it. Cedric told me last week, but with everything that has been going on inside my head, it slipped my mind.

When we got to their house, everyone was already there. Cedric was out in the yard standing next to his father, Conor, and Lucas in front of the fire pit. As soon as I walked out the patio door, it was like Cedric sensed me. He turned towards me, grin already formed, and blew me a kiss.

"Slept good baby?" He asked me softly, pulled me into his arms, and kissed me.

"I did," I whispered and felt my cheeks starting to heat up. I knew I was blushing, and it was all his fault.

"Tell me you love me," he demanded softly, his beautiful eyes boring into mine.

I knew that with us being the way we were right now, he needed to hear those words, so I gave it to him.

"I love you, Ced."

"I love you, Avery," he murmured against my lips and kissed me again. "I miss sleeping with you."

"I miss that too," I told him.

"I'm taking you on a date tonight."

My heart skipped a beat inside my chest.

It's been a while since we went on a date.

"Where are we going?" I asked excitedly.

"It's a surprise. I'll pick you up later from Annas."

"Okay," I smiled.

I stepped away from him and headed towards Helen, who was busy entertaining her many guests.

"Happy birthday," I told her and hugged her. "You don't look a year over thirty," I laughed.

When I had asked her the other day how old she was going to be, she told me, and I quote.

I look thirty.

"Thank you, honey," she smiled and hugged me back before turning me around to face her friends. "Ladies, this is Avery. She is Cedrics girlfriend."

"Oh dear, I was so very sorry to hear about what happened. You met Cedrics friend Conor? That's my grandson."

"I met him a few times," I informed the sweet looking older lady.

She was all was full of smiles, and you can tell she was the type of woman to go out of her way to make sure others felt welcome.

"I am so glad you are okay." The woman that wore large pearls around her neck added afterward. "Helen was a worried mess for days after it happened. She stayed at the hospital as much as she could because Cedric wouldn't leave your side."

"Thank you both," I told them sincerely.

I don't like talking about what happened. I want to move on from it, but others don't feel the same. They are only expressing their concern for Cedrics family, and I can understand that.

Once the food was done, we all gathered around and sang happy birthday to Helen. She loved every second of it, and after Anna cut the first piece of the cake, she handed it to her mom.

Helen raised the plate, smirked at Glenn and shoved the plate full of cake against his face, and giggled. "That's for all those darn tickets."

"Helen," Glenn fussed and wiped the cake off his face. "You have paid me back for those tickets more times than I gave you one."

Everyone around them laughed, including me. They adored one another. They were over the moon happily married, and they made sure everyone around them could see it.

Later, once the party was over, it was just the family left. Anna, Cedric, Helen, Glenn, and myself sat in the living room and played board games. We had asked Helen what she wanted to do, being today was all about her, and this was it. She said she just wanted to have a nice night with the people she loved most in the world.

I was grateful to be put into that category.

Cedric and Glenn were pretty good, which meant, unfortunately for me, my best friend, and Helen, we lost every game.

"It's my birthday. You should let me win," Helen complained. He took a healthy sip of her wine when she landed on Cedrics property in Monopoly.

"Don't be mad, momma," Cedric laughed and grabbed the dice.

Around thirty minutes later, the fun family games had turned into a family mini war, created by us women. We were tired of losing.

“Let's watch a movie. I'm tired of playing,” Helen sighed, grabbed her wine glass, and said back on the couch.

"Whatever you want, love,” Glenn told her and smirked, sat back next to her, and wrapped his arm over her shoulder.

He knew she just did not want to lose anymore.

“What are we watching?” Cedric asked as he sat next to me on the couch.

“I don't even care. We can just flip through channels ,” Helen shrugged and smiled at us all.

She finally settled on a romance movie. I was starting to feel cold, so I grabbed the blanket that was hanging on the back of the couch and got comfortable.

“Share the blanket,” Caleb whispered.

He could at least add, please.

Dang bossy male.

I tossed half of the blanket with a dramatic sigh. I actually hate sharing throw pillows. I like them all to myself. Maybe because they are not the biggest.

We sit there a few minutes in silence, watching the movie. Anna excused herself, saying she needed to check her emails, and Glenn announced it was time to show his wife the birthday gift he got her. Apparently, it was a surprise, and he was waiting to show her.

They all left the room after telling Cedric and I that they would be back.

Suddenly, I feel a warm palm on my thigh under the blanket. It caused me to jump because I wasn't expecting it.

I looked at Cedric. He wasn't looking at me. His eyes were glued to the TV, and a small smirk formed on his lips as I watched him.

His hand slid further up.

Fuck.

He has his full hand between my legs, rubbing through the thin fabric of my shorts. Slowly pressing his thumb over my clit, making my pussy become wet, and I know my wetness is soaking the cotton fabric of my shorts.

I bit my bottom lip, trying not to squirm as I swung my eyes to the TV.

He slips his hand under the fabric of my shorts.

Shit.

I glanced over towards the living room door, making sure his parents or his sister was walking in.

Cedric slipped a finger inside my wet lips. I gasped loudly, and threw my palm against my mouth to keep quiet.

He leaned toward me. “Don't hold back. I want to hear you,” he murmured against my ear before sucking my lobe into his mouth.

“Cedric,” I sighed.

I close my eyes to take in the full feeling and spread my legs wider apart. He slipped a second finger inside of me and I couldn't stop my hips from greeting seeking more and rubbed against his fingers.

“Damn, you are soaked,” he growled, bit my ear lobe and started to slowing move his fingers in and out of me.

“We shouldn't-,”

“Just feel what I do to you, baby,” Cedric growled, as he dragged his finger out, and then pushed it back in.

His rhythm driving me insane.

"Your parents-"

"Feel me Avery."

Damn.

Something dangerous and carnal coursed through my body. I quickly looked towards the door one last time. I sucked in a breath and straddled Cedrics lap, quickly, keeping his hand inside my shorts.

“Cedric,” I moaned.

“Fuck, that's hot,” he groaned while pulling down my shirt with his other hand, exposing my breast.

He sucks one nipple into his mouth, swirls his tongue around it in slowly teasing circles. I grind my pussy down on his two fingers, gently rocking my body on top of his.

The sensation builds, and I can't take it anymore. I have never wanted someone so much in my life.

“Make me come,” I ordered him, while mindlessly grinding on top of him and grabbed onto his shirt.

He grabs my jaw, squeezes it gently, and brought my lips down hard onto his. He kissed me deeply, shoving his tongue into my mouth before pulling away and looking into my eyes.

“I want to hear you. I want to hear you say my name while you come,” he growled against my mouth, and curved his fingers deep inside of me.

“Oh god,” I moaned and threw my head back, completely lost to the pleasure that he was producing inside my body. It seems like every inch of my skin is supercharged. It feels like I'm aware of everything.

His aftershave.

His cologne.

“Come for me,” he demanded and twisted his fingers deep inside me of me.

I jerked my head up, stared into his eyes and came on his fingers, whimpering and moaning his name loudly, and felt my fingers pulsing hard around them.

Oh my god.

How could we do that in his parents house with them in the next room?

Footsteps were walking towards us, I threw my body off of Cedrics just as Helen and Glenn walked through the door.

"Look what Glenn got me for my birthday," Helen gushed and held out her hand. "A new wedding set"

That was close.
