The car's music was playing on low. We were on our way to the restaurant for dinner. Ava had been quieter than expected since we got in the car. There wasn't much traffic so I was able to take short glances at her as I drove. She was staring intently out the window. I was starting to worry because she didn't look comfortable, or happy.
"Ava, is something on your mind?" I asked to end the silence. She pulled herself away from the window to look at me. She gave me a half-hearted smile and told me there was nothing. I was not convinced. At first, I thought it would be best to leave it at that. But, I quickly rethought this and decided that figuring out what was wrong was more important that being on time for a dinner reservation. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and parked. Ava gave me a confused look.
"Why are we stopping? I thought we were going to dinner?"
"We will, if you tell me what is bothering you."
"Aiden, really it's nothing. Just ignore it and let's go."
"If there is nothing bothering you, why do I have to ignore it?"
"It's stupid alright, you don't have to worry."
"Fine, if you are going to be that way. I'll just go back home. I'm sure you'll be more inclined to tell me after you've been punished for spoiling my night."
"No, no! I'm sorry. Don't go back home. I'll tell you, but it's not important."
"Everything about you is important to me. I don't want you to keep things from me."
"Yes sir, I won't hide anything. I was worried about going to dinner. Everything that has happened scares me." Her words tore into my heart. I dreaded that she was changing her mind.
"I'm sorry I scared you, Ava. We can still go to dinner if you want. After I'll drop you off home. I understand if you want to stop."
"That is what I am afraid of. I don't want this to stop. Tomorrow night I already know I'm barely going to be able to pry myself away from you. I'm scared that this will only be for this weekend. I don't want to go back to being alone. I've been so happy with being under your control." Ava started to cry her emotions overwhelming her. I reacted quickly taking off her seatbelt and pulling her into my lap. She dug herself into my chest to cry.
It took a while for her to stop crying. She pulled herself away from my chest and wiped away her tears with the tissue I gave her. I sat with her for a few minutes so she could collect herself. I rubbed soothing circles on her back. I wiped a few tears away from her rosy cheeks and asked if she was OK. She nodded her head and gave me a more convincing, light, smile.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know I would explode like that."
"Baby, listen to me. I know this is happening fast. We both have a lot to think about. We have to share those things we each other, always. I am here for you, and I want you to be there for me. Now, what I want is to go have dinner with my beautiful sister."
"Let's go then. But, after..." she bit her bottom lip provocatively to allude to what she wanted. I laughed and tapped her bottom as she climbed back into her seat.
I chose a restaurant outside of town that was not a place we would find anyone that we typically ran into. I had no fears taking her hand when we got out of the car. Ava seemed pleased by this outward showing of affection.
The evening went by smoothly with the waitstaff being attentive and quick, and the food delicious. Ava ate delicately while stealing glances at me. I found it cute how she was trying to be discreet. She was too adorable for words. Ava took another quick glance up and this time our eye connected. Her food suddenly became much more interesting as she immediately looked down at it. I chuckled and continued eating my own food. Teasing her was too much fun.
We finished our food; the waitress took our plates and I ordered us some dessert. Ava was fidgeting in her chair. I was more relaxed. It was clear that she was uncomfortable in her surroundings. Watching her so uneasy actually made me hotter for her. I liked the notion that I held the power to make her more at ease. I reached for her hand across the table. She took it with a blush making her cheeks rosy.
"You look beautiful darling." I told her rubbing my thumb along the back of her hand. A smile spread across her cheeks at my compliment. It was blinding with the joy she exuded. A slow tempo song started to ease out of the speakers in the room. Everything fell away leaving just the two of us.
"Aiden, I don't want this night to end."
"Well, dear, sooner or later we are going to have to return to my house. Then eventually we need to go to bed. I'll let you decide what we do in bed." She jumped away from me as the waitress returned with our dessert. I waited until the waitress left us again.
"Finish up quick, I'm anxious to get home." I said aloud breaking my fork into the dessert. I swore I could hear Ava take a big gulp. I let Ava walk in front of me as we headed out of the restaurant. I knew it wasn't right, but I had a sense of pride in myself that I owned that sweet ass. I could not wait to get her home so I could slide myself into her tight body. Ava must have had the same idea as me because she jumped out of the car when we got back. I chased after her to stop her before she could run into my bedroom.
"Stay," was all I said to her. Like the dutiful submissiveness I expected of her she came to halt where she was. I passed by her and went to collect all the items that I had purchased today from the sex shop. I placed all of them in the small chest that I had also purchased at the shop. When I was done filling the box its lid barely closed. I returned to the living room where Ava was waiting for me. She smiled seeing me come back. I could tell she was also curious about what I was carrying. I put the box down on the coffee table.
"You are so beautiful. Do you know that?" I wrapped an arm around her waist to pull her into me. She wrapped her arm around my neck. I gave her a deep and affectionate kiss. I had to force myself to pull away leaving us both breathless. We couldn't help but laugh at each other's reaction. We pressed our foreheads together drinking in the moment between us.
"I don't think I will ever get used to that." Ava admitted still chuckling a little.
"Neither will I," I pushed some hair away from her face, "but this I can get used to. It feels like you belong in my arms." I turned her attention to the box on the table. I moved her in front of me. I put my arms around her. I told her the box was filled with all the things that I had bought at the sex store I left her outside of. She licked her lips thinking that I had brought them out to use them on her. I took the key to the box out of my back pocket. I went to lock it but Ava grabbed my hand before I could twist the key.
"Why are you doing that?" She was surprised by my actions of course. I gave her a quick peck on her cheek since she was so closed and twisted the key shutting the lock. Ava watched me, absolutely puzzled. I put the key in my back pocket and took her back into my arms.
"We're not going to use any of those." I informed her. "Tonight, is a special occasion so it is going to be all about you."
"But... Aiden?" I put my hand over her mouth so she wouldn't interrupt me. I already knew what she was going to say.
"Tonight, you will be treated like a princess, my princess; because no matter what, you will always be my princess. Tomorrow is going to be all about me." I looked down at her with a raised eyebrow to add the effect to my statement that I wanted. Ava seductively wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Can I kiss you?" She sounded apprehensive, like she wasn't sure if she was really allowed to ask. I touched her cheek.
