swore she was not that woman to let a man beat on her, but all it took was a pleading apology and flowers to get back into her good graces.
Avery’s persona of the loving and well-kept girlfriend was tiring.
She felt a piece of herself chipping away every time he put his hands on her.
but then it was right back to their regularly scheduled ass whooping’s.
You can’t make a man be somewhere he don’t want to be, and you tried to do that with a FUCKIN baby and you sitting here mad at everybody else except the one person who got you in this situation, YOU!”
no woman should be afraid of the man who is supposed to love and protect them.
She and Avery both were fragile and never dealt with the shit that happened to them. They talked to each other about it mostly, and then that was it.
Lake chuckled at them and got out the bed. They watched his tall chocolate-built frame walk to the bathroom butt naked, mouths wide open. It was like slow motion. “Oh, so y’all didn’t do shit, right?” Ivy pursed her lips. “Jesus Avery, you rode that dick? Fuck.” “I didn’t!” Avery squeaked, trying her hardest not to blush. “We just laid in the bed. I don’t know when he took his clothes off. I was only caring for him.” She covered her mouth, still in shock of his size. “I didn’t even know dicks could be that big.”
When she touched him, it made Lake feel like everything that never was, could be. He didn’t feel so empty. Her touch, he’d never felt anything like it before.
Lake didn’t look at Avery like a man who wanted to have sex, or a man who thought she was beautiful. He looked at her like she had the key to something he desperately needed. Like she was the answer to his prayers.
We want to make sure we keep mom calm and happy throughout her pregnancy. She will go through many changes, and what’s important is that she stays what I like call the ‘Triple H.’ Hydrated, Healthy and Happy.” She told Ky. “She may not want to eat much or be able to keep food down, but as long as she is always drinking lots of water and snacking, the little one will get all the important nutrients needed from her. A happy mommy makes a happy baby.”
“It don’t matter what happens, okay? Who come and who goes. Babies no babies. I always got the both of yall. We for life. On us.” Vant told them, and he meant it.
Lake stared at her, eyes raw with emotion. Vulnerable. A look that Avery would only be fortunate enough to see. He wouldn’t share or do any of the things he did with her with anyone else. This was reserved for her. Lake realized he couldn’t fight that.
“Lake, you’re being intimate with me. We share feelings, laugh together, talk, sleep together without having sex. We kissed, and I don’t know what it did for you butttt…” He smiled wide, remembering that night. “That’s intimacy Lake, and you’ve never had any of that before? Not even with that girl?” He shook his head no.
“I do. I want you. I don’t know what that even means…I ain't ever felt this way before, but I know I want you.”
“Exactly what I said. I like you. I want you. I want you all the time. You giving me that pussy, it’s mine. I tried to let you make the decision on your own, give you time, but you wanna keep moving all crazy, so I gotta give you some order.”
