Chapter 23

IT WAS FEVERISH —the feeling of his hands exploring every inch leisurely, teasingly, slowly like he had all the time in the world — it made her ache.

Dawn moaned in her sleep. Every now and then she had wet dreams about her husband doing very naughty things to her, It was natural because they were married and there were times when she wanted to feel ultimate pleasure, times when he wasn't around and she wanted a quick release. However, the bobbling sensation coming from between her legs was different, it wasn't a daydream and it certainly wasn't one of her lewd fantasies. It was real, just as real as the first time he went between her legs and now, he was doing it again.

David parted her legs wide and she tightened her eyes at his lascivious touch. He always had a way with his fingers, he always knew how to make her skin tingle, and at that moment, she cursed herself for sleeping without underwear because now, she could feel her arousal build and slip down her opening like warm milk.

David drove his tongue inside her, groaning inaudibly and basking in the early morning smell of her arousal. As for Dawn, she arched a little and bit hard on her lips, trying not to moan to her content, but with one finger thrusting inside her and his tongue sucking on the center of her ord, keeping sane was proving difficult.

David graciously continued to hit her in the spot, setting off another shattering moan that was music to his ears. She was quite an instrument to play, so finely tuned, and if touched in the right places, she made the most glorious sounds - raw, intense, absolutely delicious noises of pleasure.

Her legs quaked and her body stiffened, she was about to release her first orgasm of the day, so close that her hips began to move in sync with his hand but David had other plans. He slowed his thrusts until it utterly stopped.

"Morning gorgeous" he then teased, leaning up to look at those sets of lust-crazed eyes that blinked back at him.

"David" she almost moaned, feeling herself leaning closer to him.

"What do you want Dawn?" He murmured, sliding his free hand inside her dress and cupping a hand full of her very soft breast. "The way you're wet tells me you want more than just my fingers" his tongue traced the seams of her lips, forcing her to part it slightly.

"I want you inside me" she confessed, not caring to do a sanity check. She just wanted a release and it didn't matter how she got it.

"Ride me," David said in a gruff whisper, and before Dawn could protest or realize what he was asking for, he changed positions, placing her bodyweight right atop of him and it didn't take seconds to feel his length harden against his shorts.

Dawn bit her lip, suddenly feeling cautious of her weight. "David... I..."

"Trust me" he muttered, his voice coming out more desperately than intended. He was hard, she could feel it, she could feel him, he was as needy as she was.

David shifted her up just enough to set his erection free from its confines and when he was done stroking it a few times, he guided her back down into his lap, slipping the hardness into her awaiting hole and groaning immediately as he felt her warm wetness envelope him.

Dawn twitched, shuddering violently with unwilling pleasure as his length sank with her, going deeper than she never thought possible. She sat up and swiveled her hips, grinding him gently and resisting the urge to moan as it prodded her deliciously. For his part, David could barely keep himself from holding her waist firm and fucking her silly.

"That's it... God, you're tight" he moaned, struggling to keep focus as her shallow, slow thrusts became deep, fast ones.

"David..." She moaned, arching her back slightly as she felt the pleasure fill her up.

David held her hips, the sloppy erotic sounds her thighs made, driving him nuts. He kept his gaze on her, taking in the divinity of the woman bouncing atop him. It seemed her whole body grew pink, and the nipples of her breasts looked as hard as if they were tiny stones. He wanted to suck them, to rip off her dress and lavish her nipples with attention but he couldn't, not when she was already close, not now that her walls tightened around his length.

With eyes shut, Dawn leaned forward and clutched his chest. "David..." She moaned breathlessly, every point in her body sparkling with desire, and when she hit the golden spot, she lost all control of her senses, moaning like a dog on heat before collapsing against him but David was far from done.

He flipped her over, taking his position right atop her and wasting no time in invading her walls so deep that Dawn pulled against his grip and sucked in her breath with a faint "ah" as he pressed even deeper.

He hooked her right leg over his shoulder and nailed into her with such force that her inner walls squeezed. "God, you're driving me crazy Dawn" and she was.

When it came to Dawn, things were different, sex with her reminded him of his first time over and over again. It made him weak, it made him unstable. He groaned, pulling her into a fierce kiss as he felt himself coming close.

His body rocked into hers, spewing out sweet nothings as he took every bit of pleasure out of her, and then he was so deep inside her that he didn't realize when he released himself, marking every inch of her and claiming it for the thousandth time and when the intense pleasure subsided, and the adrenaline drained, they both crashed on the bed, panting in a tangled heap of limbs and ruffled clothes.

"That was hot," David breathed and after a moment, he readjusted himself to lay flat on the bed, pulling Dawn up to his chest as she fought to catch her breath. "We haven't gone at it like that in a long time."

"I don't think we've even gone at it like that," she stated between pants, her chest heaving as she curled her leg around his bare thigh, allowing his absent hand grope her ass and spank it gently.

"David," she warned, tiredly.

"I know, I know," he chuckled, running through her hair sweetly. "I love you, Dawn." He pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you too"

AFTER TAKING A QUICK SHOWER and changing into something more comfortable and appreciate for breakfast, Dawn walked down, alongside David who made small talks as they climbed down the stairs.

"Bonjour Tante Lenore" Dawn greeted them when they reached the dining table. She placed a kiss on her cheek and Lenore returned the same gesture.

"I see you're adapting already " she smiled "How was your night my dear?" She asked sweetly.

"I slept like a baby" she chuckled.

"David must be doing a good job then" she winked and David laughed, quickly denying her unspoken claims.

When they settled in their seats, they made small talks and all the while, Dawn searched around for Amanda. Since the incident, they hadn't talked or set eyes on each other and it worried her.

"David?" She called, drawing his attention away from his phone. "Have you perhaps seen your mother?"

He looked around and shrugged lightly. "She should be around somewhere"

"I'll go check the kitchen"

"You don't have to play the perfect wife role anymore Dawn, I'm not asking you to try anymore "

She smiled and got up. "I want to do this"

His eyes narrowed "If anything happens-"

"Nothing's going to happen okay?" she looked at him with an inscrutable smile that somewhat pleased him.

"Fine" he muttered and she nodded a thank you before walking away and strolling into the kitchen where in fact, Amanda was.

Stopping for a moment, she stood by the door and watched as Amanda went around her business; sampling meals and making sure they tasted good. If there was one thing she had in common with her mother, it was her love for cooking.

Maybe Amanda wasn't as bad as she appeared and maybe if she didn't act tough and reserved they could actually have a good relationship. Though, it wasn't too late yet.

She stepped in, clearing her throat lightly. "Anything I can help with?"

Amanda turned, not saying a word but rather, just staring.

"I'm really good in the kitchen. I can help around with uh, mixing the cheese cream or, or, stirring the tomato" she added.

"What do you want Dawn?" She asked tiredly and Dawn pressed her lips together before speaking.

"I'm sorry" she moved closer, sucking in a huge amount of air " I'm sorry for what happened between us. It was never my intention to disrespect you. What I said, I said it out of anger but now I know better and I'm truly sorry for testing you, I shouldn't have mixed the tea with some orchids, to begin with, it was my fault and I'm sorry," she said with all sincerity and Amanda dropped her knife, crossing the counter to stand inches away from her.

"Is that all you have to say?" She arched her brows.

Dawn breathed in. "I know you hate me and I know I earned it. I said a lot of mean things but I won't stop, I won't stop trying to win you over no matter what, no matter how many times you'll push me away, no matter how many times you'll insult me, I'll keep coming back because I love David. I love your son, he is my world, the ray of sun in my life, I can't leave without him and I'm willing to do anything for you to see -"

It was all so sudden that Dawn didn't understand what had happened. Amanda was hugging her. Not shaming her dress or making fun of her illegitimacy, she was showing affection, real, untainted affection.

"David was right about you" she muttered, pulling back to look at her face."You were right about one thing Dawn, I did see you as a threat. I was scared that you were going to take my son away from me, he has had his fair share of heartbreak before and I didn't want him to feel that way again so I got overprotective. I'm sorry I misjudged you and your intentions, it took me a night with David to realize how perfect you are for him"

For a moment, Dawn's mouth parted and she stared in shock.

"Thank you for believing in my son. You changed him, Dawn, you made him a better version of himself and I'm grateful" she smiled warmly. "And if you do decide to forgive me, maybe we can make this mother-daughter-in-law thing work?"

"Certainly" Dawn smiled back. This had to be a dream because it was too good to be true.

***

WHEN THEY BOTH WALKED OUT OF THE KITCHEN, David stared at them with suspicion, he dropped his glass of wine and fully turned.

"What's going on?"

"Let's just say I have a lovely daughter-in-law." Amanda smiled.

He quirked his brows. "Are you too..."

"Yes, we are" Dawn answered, smiling radiantly.

"I love you mother " he got up and pulled them both into a hug. "I love both of you"

"And we love you too baby"

"Yes! pour terminer!" Lenore raised her glass of water for a big toast and they all laughed.

Breakfast with the Argent's and Medichie's together was spectacular and filled with a lot of moments - seeing the two most important women in his life laughing and conversing together without hate - these were moments that David was going to cherish till his last breath.

Screw karma,

He was certainly blessed.
