Chapter Ten

Avery's smile grew as she looked up at Seth before her right hand found its way to the side of his face. She ran her thumb along his cheek and he closed his eyes, his hand leaning into her touch while she raised her head and caught his lips with hers. Seth breathed in deeply through his nose as he kissed her back, his left hand on her hip while his right hand resting on the bed beside Avery's left shoulder and holding his weight up off of her.

She brought her left hand to his chest while her right leg wrapped around his hip and with a little bit of effort, she flipped them so Seth was lying back on the bed once again. Avery pulled back from their kiss and remained straddling him, her body resting on his lower abdomen. The feel of his skin and the heat of his body against her made that glorious coiling feeling once again settled in her stomach as Seth groaned quietly and settled his hands on her outer thighs.

Avery felt Seth jerk against her backside as she watched him close his eyes and she blushed lightly before she bit her lip to hold back her smile. Despite everything that had happened in the last forty-five minutes, she had yet to actually see and/or touch Seth the way he had seen and touched her. He'd kept her too preoccupied by exploring every inch of her, but now she was determined to make him feel as good as he made her feel. Even if she hadn't the slightest clue what she was doing.

Seth slowly opened his eyes and tightened his grip on her thighs when he looked up at Avery, who was looking down at him and biting her lower lip. Her hands rested close together on his chest and her arms were pressing her bare breasts together in a way that made it nearly hard for him to keep his eyes on her face. However, he managed to do just that as he slid his hands up her smooth thighs to rest on her hips, his thumbs brushing against her hip bones and making her shiver slightly as she released her lip and smiled down at him. He easily smiled in return before she slid her hands up his chest to his shoulders and leaned down to kiss him.

He kissed her back without thinking as his left hand left her hip and to her face before he pushed her hair back and held her face in his hand. Avery slowly eased her lips from his before she kissed along his jaw, and Seth took a slow ragged breath when Avery's nose brushed against his earlobe briefly while her lips made their way down his neck.

His hand left her face and slid down her back before his hand returned to her right hip as Avery kissed his collarbone. Seth licked his lips and closed his eyes once again, revealing in the feel of Avery's soft lips against his skin. He was doing his best to control himself, to allow her to take her time and explore much like he had done with her, but it was hard for the man to do just that. His body was tense as he held himself back from taking over, and he knew that Avery could feel it so he was trying to calm himself down.

"Relax, Seth," Avery said softly as she lifted her head and looked at him with a small smile.

"I'm trying," he said, his voice rough, and Avery licked her lips.

"Am I doing something wrong?"

"What?" Seth asked after he stared at her for a second. "No," he said as her question sunk in and he shook his head, his hands loosening on her hips.

"Then what is it? Why aren't you relaxing? I'm trying to make you fe-," she made to continue, but Seth silenced her by lifting up his head and kissing her hard, his fingers once again gripping her hips tightly.

"You're not doing anything wrong, Ave," he breathed as he tore his lips from hers and rested his forehead against hers. "I'm trying to control myself so I don't fucking ravage you until you can't walk," he said and Avery was pretty sure her entire body flushed red at not only his words but the rough and practically growl like tone his voice took on.

"Oh," Avery whispered and Seth found himself chuckling.

"Yeah, 'oh,'" he said teasingly and Avery smiled at him.

"Just relax and don't move," Avery said. "Be patient because you'll get another turn soon enough. It's my turn right now." Seth grinned up at her as he sighed and rested his head back again his pillow.

"All right," he said softly before Avery kissed him chastely. Her kisses once again followed the same path she had taken before, only moving a little faster as her body slid down his. Both of them took a sharp breath as she unintentionally brushed against him and Avery lifted her head up from his chest and caught his even darker gaze.

Avery gave him a wicked smile he wasn't aware she was even capable of before she continued kissing her way down his body. His breathing became more labored the lower she went and the lower she went the more nervous she became. When she reached his belly button, she pulled back and settled her body in between Seth's slightly open legs. She sat back on her shins and biting her lip yet again she took him into her right hand.

"Shit," Seth hissed under his breath as he gripped the blankets underneath him, his hands balling the straining fabric as he watched and felt Avery work him in her hand.

Avery looked at Seth, watching his face as she repeated in her mind every tip that Claire had given her during their little shopping trip; and she couldn't help but smile when he groaned quietly and pumped his hips into her hand as he arched his back and closed his eyes. She pulled and squeezed one last time only to hear something rip before she found herself lying back on the bed Seth's body covering hers. He pinned her to the bed by holder her arms above her head.

"Enough," he growled and Avery gasped in a breath when she felt him throbbing against her lower lips. He leaned down, being sure to keep her hands pinned above her head, as he kissed her hard and slid himself against her. Avery felt like she was on fire as he slid up and down against her, and yet she shivered at the same time.

She arched her hips into his as she kissed him back, moaning into the kiss as her legs wrapping around his waist and causing Seth to growl once more before he pulled back from her. His eyes were wild as he looked down at her and Avery was finding that she really liked this new slightly dominating side of the man she loved. He kissed her forcefully once more before he pulled back completely, moving back to sit on his knees as he looked down at her.

"Do not move," he said and Avery licked her lips as she nodded her head in agreement before he climbed from the bed. Avery remained completely still as she watched him move over to his dresser. He opened a closed drawer and shuffled around before he pulled something out and tore it open.

Seth turned around and Avery watched with a racing heart as he slid on protection and returned to his position over her body. Avery raised her hands to his chest and slid them up to his face as he leaned down and kissed her far softer than he had before he climbed off of the bed. She held his face in her hands, kissing him back as he scooped her up into his arms and held her close. His right hand slipped between them to position himself at her aching entrance.

He kissed her once more as he started to sink himself into her body. Once again, she raked her nails across his back as she whimpered into their kiss. Seth moved in slow, giving her time to get used to him as he kissed her and caressed her body in his hands. Their hip bones met and Avery felt a few unexpected tears leak from her eyes, and Seth felt them too. He kissed them away and pressed his forehead against hers, their breath once again mingling together.

"I love you," he whispered against her mouth and she took a slow and deep breath.

"I love you too," she said, her lips brushing against his as she whispered the words and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She encouraged him to move as she kissed him chastely and slowly he began to move.

They easily found a smooth rhythm together and the pain Avery was experiencing slowly ebbed away and the heated coiling sensation began building in her lower abdomen as her hips met every thrust of Seth's. Their mouths were practically fused together as their bodies, both slick with sweat, slid against each other and Avery was soon panting his name once again after she tore her mouth away from his and buried her face in his neck.

"Almost, baby," he whispered as the roll of his hips quickened against hers.

"Oh God," she said as she wrapped her arms around him even tighter and locked her ankles against his backside as the world went white around her. Seth groaned as Avery practically screamed his name and her inner muscles clenched him hard. Seth soon followed, groaning as he held himself still inside of her and kissed her neck, and the two collapsed in a heap on Seth's bed.

"So, how was your weekend?" Kayla asked in a whisper, cornering Avery at her locker before the start of classes that Monday morning. Avery laughed quietly as she tucked her loose hair behind her ears, and finished exchanging her books and tucked the ones she needed for her morning classes into her bag.

"It was good," Avery said as she closed her locker and started for her first period class. Kayla's eyebrows rose before she was quick to follow after Avery.

"Good? All you can say is that your weekend was good?" Kayla asked and Avery felt her cheeks heat slightly, but she just innocently smiled at her friend as she casually tossed her hair from her face.

"What do you want me to say?" Avery asked and Kayla rolled her eyes.

"A little more than that, especially since I know you're no longer a card carrying member of the 'V' club anymore," Kayla said, lowering her voice before she wiggled her eyebrows and Avery laughed loudly, drawing a few looks their way for a second before everyone else went back to their business.

"It was . . .," Avery trailed off and shook her head as a wistful smile came to her lips. "There's not a word in the English language to accurately describe how amazingly wonderful my weekend was," she said as Kayla and her walked into their classroom. "How is that for a description of my weekend?" Kayla just beamed a smile at Avery as the two girls settled into their seats while Michael looked between them.

"Do I want to know why the two of you look like you're up to no good?" Michael asked and Kayla and Avery shared a look before they both looked at Michael.

"No," they harmonized before they laughed and Michael rolled his eyes. However, a grin settled on his lips as he shook his head. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had Avery smiling like an idiot. At least it was easy for him to figure out since he patrolled with Seth on Sunday, and the man had a seriously hard time keeping his thoughts to himself.

Michael had seen Avery in a way he had never wanted to see the girl who was as good as his sister, but thankfully Seth had managed to keep his thoughts mostly PG-13. Otherwise, Michael was pretty sure he'd need therapy if he hadn't.

At the end of classes that day, Avery made her way out to the parking lot with Ryan who was riding home with her and Seth instead of going over to his friend's house. Michael and Alyssa were walking with them and the quartet walked in a comfortable silence.

Once outside, Avery smiled and raced over to Seth's truck not really caring that she probably looked like an idiot as she raced over to where he stood outside of his truck, leaning against it. Seth grinned when he saw Avery jogging over to him and he was quick to catch her around her waist as she jumped slightly and wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Did you miss me or something?" Seth asked as she pulled back slightly and Avery laughed as she looked up at him and smiled. She'd been smiling so much that day, her face was actually starting to hurt.

"Maybe a little," she said and he kissed her forehead before he looked up and over her head.

"Michael!" Seth called and he jerked his head backwards. Avery glanced over her shoulder and slid her hand down Seth's chest and looked up at him.

"Pack meeting?" she asked, knowing that there was only one reason as to why Seth would want to talk to Michael and Seth nodded curtly. "Is something going on?"

"Nothing that you need to worry about, Ave," Seth said quietly, his hands still settled on her waist and underneath her open jacket.

"What's up?" Michael asked and Seth looked away from Avery as she stepped aside to see her brother, Alyssa, and Michael standing there.

"Meeting at your house," Seth said and Michael sighed quietly. "Ave can drive Alyssa and Ryan home in my truck. We'll ride to your place together." Michael nodded before he absently patted the back of Alyssa's head while Seth handed Avery his keys. "Drive carefully okay. The rain we had around lunch made the roads slick."

"I'll be careful," she said as she took his keys and Seth smiled at her before he kissed her chastely. For a minute, Avery watched Seth and Michael walk away before she shook her head and looked at her siblings. "Ready?" she asked and the pair nodded before the three of them climbed into the truck.

"I can't wait until I phase," Ryan said as they started their drive home and Avery glanced at her brother who was sitting in the front passenger seat while Alyssa was tucked in the back.

"Why?" Avery asked and Ryan sighed as he looked at her.

"So I don't feel so left out of everything," Ryan said. "For once I'd like to be in on all the secrets that Dad, Seth, and all the other guys keep from us."

"It'll happen soon, Ry," Avery said.

"Not soon enough," Ryan said heavily and Avery looked at her brother.

"I bet by this time next year you'll start transitioning," Avery said.

"You think?" Ryan asked and Avery nodded as she smiled at the hope she heard in her brother's voice.

"Avery look out!" Alyssa suddenly screamed and Avery quickly snapped her eyes forward only to see someone standing in the middle of the road, waving her down, and she was barreling towards them. She barely registered the car pulled off to the side of the road, flashers flashing as she hit the brakes hard.

The truck slid on the icy road, fish tailing and spinning around fast as Avery over corrected and sent the truck flipping into the trees. The screams and yells of her brother and sister was the last thing Avery heard as darkness consumed her.
