⚠️ (why should I even bother warning you guys that there is smut in this chap?) ⚠️

His voice was low, all gravel in my ear as it came out as a whisper. He feathered kisses down my shoulder and I moaned. His fingers reached the necklace around my neck and he fiddled with it before kissing my neck gently once again. He smiled at the necklace before looking up at me.

"What?"

"I can't wait till I call you this." Auden pulled the necklace up to show me and I blushed heavily as I looked at him with sleepy eyes. He leaned forward to give me a peck before he pulled away.

"Let's get up," I said, pushing him away when he pulled me back down immediately. He draped his arm around me lazily and burrowed his face in the space between my neck before mumbling "Don't get up." I chuckled and blushed at the same time. The sound of his husky voice did wonders to me. He responded with a slow, sleepy kiss to the back of my neck and I instantly relaxed as his long fingers curled over my hip.

I rubbed my tired eyes and gave out a big yawn while somehow managing to say, "I have to, Auden. Can't be late. Shira will kill me." Since the wedding was soon, we had to start preparing right away. Shira didn't want to invite too many people. So, the invitations were less of a problem now.

I tried to get out of his grip but he started kissing my neck with his mouth and roaming my naked body with his hands. I inhaled deeply, the scent of his skin warm and masculine, and he leaned his head further down to press his face into my hair behind my ear. His lips were ticklish and soft as he dragged them over my shoulder, hand sliding down until it rested in the curve at the small of my back. He shifted his body up closer to my back and it was impossible to miss the heavy slide of his morning wood over my back.

His fingers traced the tattoo along my hips and he bent down to kiss them softy which sent shivers down my spine. His fingers reached between my thighs and he placed them in my underwear. It's not long before he reached my sensitive spot and once he started rubbing me, I gasped and melted in his arms. His other hand settled firmly on my ass at the same time he pulled away to look into my face with seductive eyes and a sleepy smug smirk.

"Auden." I protested weakly.

"Does it feel good?" He asked teasingly before finally kissing me on my mouth. He kissed me back with languid movements, tongue meeting mine in slow slides, and the way his hands held on to me, possessive and affectionate all at once, made me moan and squirm for more. "You want me to stay home so you can use me for sex?" I asked, wanting more of his haunting touch even though I was teasing him. He let out a low purr as he kissed down my jaw. I could feel him against my belly, trapped between the two of us and his breath comes heavier as his eyes clouded with immense lust. "Yes, purely exploiting you for my gain."

I bite his lip in annoyance at how easily he can make me give in. He laughed slightly at my reaction and I blushed a furious red at how sensitive I was to his soft yet rough touches. His fingers slid out of my underwear and crept their way up.

I wasn't wearing a bra. When his cold hands touched my breasts, my nipples immediately got hard. He caressed them for a while before losing all his control as he let out a low groan before capturing my lips with his. He kissed me as his hands roamed all over my body, inducing sensations that I had never felt before. I moaned as he bit the soft skin of my neck teasingly.

"Hurry," I demanded gently.

His eyebrows rose by my sudden urge to speed things up. "Do you want it rough?" He whispered into my ear and my entire body stiffened.

My heart just pooped its pants.

I bit my lip as I blushed furiously. My eyes narrowed at him and butterflies flew in my stomach at the intense gaze. I pulled him towards me in an instant and kissed him, giving him an answer. He smirked excitedly against my lips and I couldn't help but feel my entire body heat up at the things he was going to make me feel.

He pulled away and his eyes rolled back in pleasure as he finally entered me. "Fuck, KitKat." He moaned. I arched my back, head pushed back into the pillows while Auden buried his face into my neck as he rocked his hips into mine. My nails found the backs of his arms and dug into the flesh there, mouth falling open as he pressed harder and deeper into me, the initial stretch stinging a little from the remaining soreness of the night before, but it didn't last long. After only a few thrusts I was meeting his movements just as eagerly, trying to get him deeper, one hand fisting in his hair and holding his mouth to my neck. He grabbed onto my thighs picking them up slightly to thrust into me harder and faster, gradually increasing speed and intensity with every passing second. My breathing got heavy and I gripped onto the satin sheets tightly as he pounded into me. "You are killing me." He whispered into my ear mid-thrust.

He settled into a fast, hard and steady rhythm as our body parts combined and fed off of one another. I could feel his hot breath against my chest, tingling and teasing me. My head shot back as I began to reach the climax. My fingers dug into Auden's back as I let out a scream. He took this as a signal to pick up the speed and he grabbed onto my hips, moving them closer to him for deeper penetration. His eyes closed for a second and he slammed his hand down on the bed before wrapping it into a right fist. "I'm coming, love." He said before thrusting into me even harder.

I shake uncontrollably as my body filled with powerful spasms. My mouth forms an 'O' shape as I grabbed hard onto his shoulder, digging my fingernails hard into them until I was sure there were going to be marks on his shoulders. He laid his whole body weight on top of me as both of us try to catch our breath. He pushed the hair in my eyes out of my face and kissed me passionately but sloppy as if he was too tired to put in the effort. He finally gained enough energy to take his weight off of me and fell onto the bed.

I turned over to see his flushed face. "I love you too." I teased him and he smirked. We took a few more seconds to breathe properly, staring into each other's eyes before I swiftly pulled the sheet over us, sitting up straight on his hips, straddling him before I bent down to peck his lips.

"I thought you wanted to go rough?" I teased and Auden smirked before pulling me towards him and claiming me once again.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"Seriously, you should have just come at night." Shira groaned. "Or maybe the day before the wedding. That's even better." She sarcastically groaned and I rolled my eyes at her childishness. I looked up to see the time and it was four in the late afternoon. I blushed at the thoughts of what happened before this but shrugged away those thoughts when Shira threw papers at me.

"Here, sort them out." She ordered. I saluted her. "Yes, boss." I playfully replied to which she scolded me with a not so nice word. Archie, Tessa and a few other girls from Camp were there to help us. We all chatted nonsense as we sorted the papers out. Archie was making calls after calls.

"Have you called a wedding planner?" I asked Shira who was busy writing down the food items she wanted.

"Yeah." Shira nodded, her face serious and at the same time, there was a glow around her. I smiled, feeling happy for her.

"What's the theme?" Another girl questioned curiously.

"It's a winter wedding. All white." Shira smiled before continuing the list. I looked over to see her writing cupcakes and smiled.

"Could you add in Kitkats too?"

Shira turned around to give me a death glare.

"I was just suggesting." I shrugged with a smirk on my face.

"Hey." I whipped around to see Audrey giving me a knowing look. I quickly got up from my seat, understanding the memo. "Are you ok?" I asked her, as I sorted out the papers on the table.

She gave me a shrug and a sad smile. "I am worried about her." She frowned and I felt a pang in my heart for her. "I hope she overcomes her fear." She sighed a very sad one which made my heart break into two. I immediately reached for her and gave her a small hug. "If it was true love, she will come around."

"Kathy. Someone's here to talk to you." Shira said behind me and I immediately assumed it to be Auden. I gave Audrey a reassuring smile and walked away, towards the door and opened it to see Vanessa standing there. She seemed nervous although she looked like she was trying to be angry with me. With a surprised glance to her way, I closed the door behind me silently.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to make a conversation.

"Is Audrey there?" She asked, her eyes filled with hope. I immediately felt pity for her. I nodded my head and she sighed, looking down at her feet before looking back at me.

"Did she say anything? Is she angry with me?" She asked me, her eyebrows forming a frown and I gave her a sad smile.

It was true love right there.

"She is worried about you," I said softly and her eyes became teary almost immediately. She looked away, trying to control herself from bursting into tears.

"Do you want to talk to he—"

"No." She deadpanned and closed her eyes in frustration. "Did you tell anyone about us?" She asked me.

"No." I shook my head. "It's your secret to share."

Vanessa breathed in and breathed out, gulping before narrowing her eyes at me. "Not even Auden?" She asked.

"No," I said. She raised her eyebrows before looking away, towards the ceiling. Her fingers absentmindedly kept playing with the end of her floral dress.

"Audrey doesn't care, you know?" I asked. "All she wants is you." That seemed to make a tear roll down her eye and I felt pity squeeze my heart. She furiously wiped it away before glaring at me. I was half expecting it, to be honest.

"You don't know what I am facing."

"The control of your Sister?"

She seemed taken aback a little before she regained composure. "My Sister is the strongest woman I have ever known. Our parents died when we were young. She raised me all by herself. She sacrificed so many things for me. When I told her about," Vanessa closed her eyes briefly for a second. "Me," She paused. "She asked me to make a sacrifice for her. I love my Sister. I don't want to let her down. After all these years, this is the least I could do, as a form of re-payment." Vanessa's tears seemed to flow now and I didn't know what to do. Before I could say something, she wiped her tears away furiously and pursed her lips to stop herself from crying.

"If she did love you, she will accept whoever you are," I said. "Tell her that you can't do it".

"I can't." She wiped her nose and brushed away her hair.

"Yes, you can," I told her and she sighed, before looking at me with puffy red eyes. She breathed and her face scrunched up in pain as if she was about to do something painful. "Just tell Audrey." Vanessa paused. "That it's over."

"Wha—"

"Just, please. Say it." Vanessa walked away without another word and I stood there, frozen at her words. I realised that Vanessa couldn't tell Audrey face to face by herself because it would break her heart to see Audrey's, broken heart. How could I tell Audrey something that would break her heart?
