"James is in the hospital." I told Ava as we were driving to her house.

"Oh." She just replied.

I looked at her. "Oh? He might not make it." I said raising my voice.

She didn't make eye contact with me. "I don't care Rachel. Not after what he put you through."

"He was a big part of my life, you know."

"I know, but he is also the reason you almost ended your own life. I can not and will never feel sorry for him."

It was quiet for a while. I didn't know what to say. She was right. He had been the reason for so many bad things that had happened in my life and I wasn't quite sure why I expected her to show him any sympathy.

"You're right, I'm sorry."

She gave me a soft smile. "It's okay, I get why you're upset."

"I don't even know why I'm so upset about it."

"Like you said, he was a big part of your life. It's normal to be upset."

"You're right." I said. I laid my head against the window trying not to think about James.

"I think it's time for me to head home again. I've bothered you for long enough." I said as we walked inside her apartment.

"You don't have to leave." Ava said.

"It's for the better. I need to learn to be alone again."

"Okay sweet girl, that's understandable." She smiled.

I walked up to her bedroom to gather all my stuff. It would be weird being alone again, not falling asleep in the arms of Ava but I had to do this. I hadn't been alone since James and even though it scared me to my very core, I knew it had to be done.

"Wait, Rachel?"

I looked up to Ava standing in the doorway.

"Yes?"

"Can I steal you away for one more night? I know this beautiful place we can stay at."

I grinned. "But ofcourse my lady."

"Pack your stuff, we're leaving in 15 minutes."

"Where are you taking me?"

She chuckled. "That's a surprise."

About half an hour later we were sat in the car, driving to God knows where she was taking me.

"Are you really not going to tell me where we're going?" I pouted.

"No no, it's a surprise. You're just going to have to be patient."

"I'm not particularly a patient person."

"I know, that's what makes it even more fun."

"I hate you." I said

"No you don't."

I chuckled. "So what happened to the girl you were dating a while back?" I asked her. I suddenly remember I had seen her with a girl several times a few months ago.

"We broke up." She replied.

"Why?"

"Well, there was a certain girl I fell in love with, so it wouldn't have been fair on Sarah to keep dating her."

"Hmm, I wonder who that girl is." I said.

"She's rather annoying."

I pinched her arm. "I feel sorry for the girl who has to put up with you."

"Oh don't worry, she's lucky to have me. I'm a real catch."

I laughed. "Sure you are."

After about a 30 minute drive we arrived at an empty parking spot. I looked around to see where we were but I couldn't see much because of the in grass covered dune in front of the parking lot.

"An empty parking spot, how romantic."

"Oh shut it." She said. "Next time I'll take Sarah."

"Don't you dare."

I grabbed my stuff from the trunk and waited for Ava to be finished with whatever she was doing.

"Follow me, beautiful." She held out her hand waiting for me to grab it. I placed my hand in hers and we started walking.

It was the first time Ava and I were out together in the open. Anyone could see us holding hands, but she didn't seem to mind. It felt nice being with someone who wasn't ashamed to be with me, or at least didn't make me feel that way.

"Aren't you scared someone will see us?"

She shrugged. "No, not really."

"You could lose your job if someone sees us." I wasn't quite sure why I said that, knowing it could scare her off.

"If being seen with you means I'd have to lose my job, so be it."

My whole insides catched on fire. "You're just saying that."

She squeezed my hand. "No, I mean it. You are more important than a job."

I couldn't help but smile. No has ever prioritized me. I have always been an inconvenience, or just not important enough, but she never failed to remind me how special I was.

"Look." Ava said, pointing at the view in front of us. I was so lost in thought that I hadn't even noticed we were standing on the beach. The sun was setting and the sky was covered in the most beautiful deep pink and orange color. It was truly a magical sight.

"Wow, that's beautiful." I said as I stared in disbelief at the mesmerizing sky.

We walked down closer to the water before stopping to sit down. The feeling of the wind running through my hair and my feet in the sand felt relaxing. The beach was my happy place and the one place where I could be my happiest self.

"Thank you for taking me here." I looked at Ava who had laid her head back, watching the sunset.

"I knew you would like this." She rested her head on her shoulder and looked at me.

"Why this place though?"

"This is the place I go to when life get's overwhelming. I bought a small beach house here a few years back. I figured I would take you here."

I leaned in closer to her and gave her a kiss on her lips. "Thank you."

"There's no one here, it's just us." Ava said, wiggling her eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes. "Seriously?" I asked.

"We can have a little fun, can't we."

I laughed. "What did you have in mind, sex addict."

"Who said anything about sex? I just wanted to go for a swim now that it's still light outside, pervert."

"Sure miss, whatever you say."

She laughed. "Come on, let's go in."

"Wait, really?"

"Yes of course, don't be a baby."

"Oh shut up, let's go then."

We stood up and walked up to the ocean. I looked to the side to see Ava undressing herself. I was a little scared in case someone saw us, but I decided to put my cares aside for once and follow her lead.

Not much later we were both naked, standing in the sand with our feet in the cold, dark, ocean.

"You're scared aren't you?" Ava asked me, probably noticing my shaky hands.

"Maybe."

She laughed and grabbed my hand. She slowly walked into the ocean, forcing me to go in with her by firmly squeezing my hand without letting go.

"God this is cold." I yelled out as my stomach hit the water.

"Oh come here drama queen." She pulled me in closer to her and before I could even blink I felt a firm push causing me to fall into the water.

"You're going to regret this." I said through gritted teeth. My whole body was shaking from the cold water and my wet hair was dripping uncomfortably on my back.

Ava bursted out laughing. "Look at you, you're like a wet puppy."

"I hate you." I said, trying to look as sad as possible.

"Poor you, come here baby." She grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to her. Our wet bodies touching felt like fireworks. Touching her always felt exciting.

I wrapped my legs around her waist and threw my arms around her neck. "The ocean scares me."

"Luckily I'm here to keep you safe from the sharks."

I laughed. "I don't think you'll win against sharks, Ms Lopez."

"Oh watch me." She chuckled.

She put her hands around me and pulled me in closer for a kiss. Her soft, full lips brushed against mine. They tasted salty from the water but as always I could taste the sweetness. Her green eyes looked even more beautiful up close. I closed my eyes and let myself fall into the kiss as the waves of the ocean softly hit my body.

The tip of her tongue brushed against my lip, without words asking to be let it. I slightly opened my mouth, allowing her tongue to enter. Flames raced through my body as I felt her wet tongue on mine. God I loved kissing her.

Her grip around my waist tightened as she slowly started sucking on my tongue. I grabbed her hair with my hand, completely consumed by her.

"I want you." I breathed through our kiss. My hands slipped down to her boobs, cupping them with my hands. I gave her tiny kisses on her jaw, slowly moving down to her neck.

"Stop before I fuck you right here, right now."

"Do it." I said while sucking on her collarbone.

"God, I want to so bad. Let's go inside, I have other plans for you."

I grinned. "What are you going to do to me, miss."

"You'll find out soon enough."

She grabbed my hand and we ran back to our clothes. We both put on a big shirt and without further bothering to get dressed, we walked to her beach house.

We entered a big, beautiful space with a stunning view on the ocean. It smelled like vanilla, just like Ava.

"Small beach house?" I chuckled. "This isn't small, liar."

"Well well, small, big, whatever you want to call it."

I looked around for a bit, taking in the place. I was amazed every time at how rich Ava actually was. She always seemed to hide it pretty well but she was surrounded by luxury.

"You can admire the house another time, right now I've got other plans for you." She signed me to follow her.

I followed her upstairs to what I assume was her bedroom. The bed was big and was covered in a black duvet.

"God, you really love color don't you." I sarcastically said.

"Shut up, and take of your shirt."

I raised my eyebrow. "What if I don't want to?"

"Oh are we going to be bratty? Take of your shirt." She said.

I wanted to see what would happen. "No."

"Aha, I see."

She got closer to me and bended me over forwards. She lifted my shirt and her hand hit my ass three times. A burning sensation took over but I couldn't help but smile.

"Now take of your shirt."

I grinned, now obeying her by doing what she told me to do.

I looked her in the eye as I got undressed, still visibly wearing a smile on my face.

"Oh, you liked that, huh?" She said, biting her lip.

"Maybe."

Ava took off her shirt too and for a second I just admired her perfectly beautiful body. God she was sexy.

She walked up closer to me and put her fingers around my throat, softly squeezing it. "Now be a good girl and lay down."

"Yes, ma'am."

I laid down on the black duvet. Unlike last time, I wasn't nervous or afraid she wasn't going to think I'm beautiful. I felt confident and I wanted this more than anything.

Ava sat on top of me and started kissing me, starting off slowly. My whole body started tingling from her soft lips on my skin. She slowly traced down to my boobs. She teasingly played with the skin around my nipple, making them harden immediately. I could feel her lips curl up on my skin before she put her lips around my nipple and started sucking.

I twisted my hands in her hair and pushed her head down a little, begging her to continue. I could feel her tongue circulate around my nipple. She would sometimes softly bite me, making me groan from pleasure. I tried to hold back a moan.

"Don't hold back for me baby, let it out."

I did as she said and let out a small moan. "You're so hot."

With her hands still on my boobs she moved her lips to my stomach, giving me kisses everywhere. She grabbed my legs and spread them apart, reacing for my thigh, kissing and biting me all over, driving me absolutely crazy.

"Hmm, I can't wait to taste you." Ava said as she was getting closer to my pussy. She slid her hand down, feeling the wetness she had caused.

"You're so wet, it's addicting."

I groaned. "So, fuck me."

"That's exactly what I'm going to do."

We locked eyes as she thrusted one finger inside of me. I let out a moan and I let my head fall back.

"Now you can taste how good you taste." Ava said, still holding my gaze. She put her finger in my mouth, waiting for me to suck on it.

"I much rather taste you." I said.

"I'm not finished with you yet, lady."

"I'm glad you're n-"

I couldn't finish my sentence because she started sucking on my clit, making me forget everything I wanted to say. I let out a loud moan.

"Fuck, you're sexy." Ava moaned while still sucking on my clit. She replaced her mouth with her fingers and gave me a kiss.

"Does this feel good?" She asked as she slid a finger inside.

Unable to properly speak I nodded. "Hmmh."

She thrusted her fingers deep inside of me. With each stroke faster and harder. With her other finger rubbing my clit in circular motions. My back arched from pleasure.

"I'm so close." I groaned as my eyes rolled back.

"Look at me." Ava said.

I tried but my head kept falling back. She grabbed my face and forced me to look at her.

"Don't you dare look away. I want you to look me in the eyes as you cum."

My hips keep thrusting into her fingers, not being able to hold still. "Are you close?" Ava asked with a grin on her face.

"I'm gonna cum."

"Now how do we ask that?"

"Can I please cum?" I groaned in frustration, unable to hold it anymore.

"Hm?" Just as I was about to orgasm she stopped. My body squirmed like crazy and my legs started to shake. I could cry from frustration.

"Ava, please, I'm begging."

"If you want me to finish, you know what to say."

"Please, miss?" I yelled out, desperate for her to help me finish.

"Good girl." She said. She thrusted her tongue inside, slowly going up to my clit. She started sucking on the sensitive skin but it didn't take much for me to cum.

I grabbed the back of her head and let out a loud moan as I reached my climax. My legs were shaking and I breathed out heavily.

"If I didn't know better I would've said you got me pregnant." I said when I was finally able to talk again.

Ava chuckled and handed me a bottle of water. "Drink up, we're not done here."
