Drew waited for May to come over after giving her a call. May was surprised to hear him talking to her in a different tone, like he had finally been broken, like his hubris was annihilated.

When May made it and let herself in, Drew was naked as he sat in a chair, slouching forward and hunching as he hung his head ashamedly. Seeing Drew all down, May asked, "What's wrong, Drew?"

"...me. I'm... sorry, May."

"Oh, Drew. It's ok."

"No, it's not ok. I caused you a lot of pain and sadness, how am I supposed to make amends for all of it?"

May held his chin, comforting him, "Drew, I'd say you already have by changing your behavior. Did Ash help you realize the error of your ways?"

"Yeah. He was to me what I was to you."

"Does this mean you'll stop?"

"I will."

"That's all I wanted, Drew. You to be humbled, apologetic, and reformed. All is forgiven."

"Are you sure?"

"Does this answer your question?"

May gave Drew a soft, long kiss on the lips. When it broke, Drew answered, "Yes. It does."

"I love you, Drew."

"I love you too, May."

"To celebrate us starting anew, why don't we do it with some NFNM?"

Drew watched with bug eyes as May eagerly slipped out of her Emerald-based outfit, her sleeveless orange tunic with a black collar, her white gloves with black fingertips, her black cycle shorts, her mint-green fanny pack, her green-and-white kerchief, and then her socks and shoes.

Now that May was as unclothed as her boyfriend, she took Drew's place in the chair, made him stand up and then suggested, "Slide into me."

Breath catching in his throat, Drew stuck his penis in his girlfriend's vagina, hearing her gasp and seeing her arch her back towards him as her eyes closed in pleasure. He set a pace that was sickeningly slow, feeling the tension coiled in his stomach, his shoulders, and his back. He was trying to be gentle while trying to truly move on from all the things he was sorry for. She had managed to do so with no problem, so he saw no reason why he shouldn't do the same. Concerned, he asked, "Am I going too hard?"

"No. If anything, you're going way too easy. Feel free to go a little faster."

With that, Drew picked up the pace minimally before he kissed his lover's neck gently, once for each of the transgressions he committed prior to Ash's intervention. Once that was done, he kissed her shoulder the exact same number of times, then he kissed along her collarbone. She gasped loud enough for his ears, like she understood what he was doing as he continued his slow, apologetic rhythm.

He touched her body slowly while a small portion of his guilt still consumed him. She was so appreciative, so thankful for him. After months of his sickening cycle and months of her putting with his hurtful words and actions before Ash put a stop to it, Drew felt like a whole different person after realizing the error of his ways.

May shuddered under Drew, desperately wanting the pace faster, but let him do what he pleased because she knew he needed this. He pushed into her deep, lips sliding along her neck. He wished he could tell her everything he was sorry for: sorry for hitting her, insulting her, how he felt guilty for being an absolute bully, how he felt guilty for making absolutely impossible for May to feel anything close to happiness, how he felt guilty for putting her through it all...

Drew was honestly convinced that he didn't deserve her love, but it wouldn't stop him from trying to apologize. His hands trailed down her side, remembering the curve of her, bringing her closer to him, trying to surround himself with her body. She reached up to touch him to reciprocate, taking his hand and lacing his fingers with hers.

Swallowing the lump in his throat, Drew kissed May's shoulder, sliding inside her, her hips pushing up against his, her thighs against his. His lips grazed her ear, his forehead resting against hers.

His voice came out hoarse as his hips met hers, "I'm so sorry."

After Drew kissed her gently, May whispered as he picked up his pace, "All is forgiven, Drew."

Her arms slid across his back, grazing over his back and butt while pulling him closer to her. She groaned in his ear as he slid into her harder, feeling himself quicken and shudder. Both Drew and May needed this. There were even several instances of her squeezing his ass cheeks.

May gasped as Drew kissed her harder, his tongue against hers slipping around fast in her hot mouth. His fingers curled in her hair and his breath quickened. Her leg slid up his body and he fell even more deeply against her, groaning into her neck and nipping her skin.

Arching her back against him, May beckoned her lover to grip her tightly. He nibbled her ear and as he slid into her once more, she felt him gain more control, but not too much control. When he pushed a little harder, she knew what that meant.

Faster and faster, Drew rammed into May, giving her more until he could feel her telltale shudder and he paused, letting themselves feel it. Letting their tension explode in the form of two orgasms, he came in her, and her cum leaked out of her. Both of them let out yelps with their eyes closed tightly and their mouths wide open.

They didn't feel themselves cumming anymore, indicating that their climaxes were subsiding. As she began to still, he slid out of her and in once more. She groaned, still sensitive. It would only take him one more time until he shuddered just like her, so thankful she'd given him another chance.

While May sunk back in the chair, Drew laid his head on her still-heaving chest, her fingers in his hair, her other hand tracing lines on his butt crack. He closed his eyes. The things that had almost torn them apart were the things he'd never touch again. Before nodding off, May asked, "Drew, can you explain something to me?"

"Anything, May."

"Why exactly did you feel the need to act all aggressive in the first place?"

Sighing, Drew elaborated with some embarrassment in his voice, "I... I..."

"Take your time."

"I never had the best dating advice from mom and dad."

"I'd say they actually gave you the worst advice."

"No kidding. They didn't know how to do anything except yell, bark orders, and hit me."

"Yeesh, really?"

"Really, and their house was a mess. They couldn't get rid of all their useless clutter to save their lives."

"Have you thought about getting dating advice from the internet or from your friends?"

"... Agh! *facepalm* I'm so stupid!"

"No, you're not. You were just misguided, but not anymore. Now that you've learned your lesson and repaired our relationship, you'll have me to give you guidance when you need it most."

"Thanks, May."

"You're welcome."
