Ava's POV
I stood there shocked and not knowing what to say.
"You can all go to your rooms" I heard Connor say with a touch of finality, they had no choice but to comply to Connor's order, Everyone left the dinning room but I just couldn't leave the spot where I am,
even though Carrissa and I are not best of friends, I just couldn't figure out what she did, I couldn't believe she could do it, I always think people think like me and won't like to cause someone else pain but it seems my perspective of people has been tested this past days.......
"To say the truth, I wouldn't have uncovered the truth if I knew you would cry" Connor said, his voice was so near that I jumped,
I didn't even realize I was crying, I guess the recent events has taken it's toll on me, Connor wrapped his arms around me, I drew warmth from his embrace I didn't realize how lonely I felt without his arms around me,
His touch filled every void of loneliness in me.
"I'm sorry" He said suddenly, I glance at his face, I saw raw emotions in his eyes, I saw pain, guilt...
"You didn't do anything" I whispered
"I did, I'm the reason you were kidnapped, if I had just told you earlier I was investigating this, instead I just made you believe I actually believed you wanted to poisoned me " Connor said with Emotion
I've never seen him this way, all rigid and cold but never Emotional, he release his hold on me, and I felt bare without his arms around me
"You did what you had to do, there's no need for you to be so up beat about it " I told him, I don't want him to blame himself, he did save me after all
"But if I hadn't...."
"I'm hungry" I said cutting him off
"Uhn?, oh OK, what would you like to eat?" He asked
"Some meat broth, I don't want anything else " I told him
"Oh OK " he replied uncertain
"You're sure?" He asks me
"Yeah" I smiled
"Go up to your room, it'll be there in a few minutes" He told me, touching my cheek,
he lingered for a few seconds staring at my lips, I really wish he would touch his lips to mine but he dropped his hands and left the dinning room.
I smiled before proceeding up to my room, I'm really relieved things are going smoothly between us right now, I'm glad the poison episode has been cleared,
even though I know he still thinks I'm guilty of what happened years ago, I'm just glad things are working out OK right now.
Six months ago we don't even talk to each other, but I'm wondering......
"Penny for your thought" I was jolted out of my reverie when I heard his voice,
"Come on what are you thinking?" He asked sitting across me on the bed.
"Nothing of your interest, I assure you" I told him smiling
"OK whatever , come and eat your food while it's hot, your back?, does it hurt much?, did you treat it today?" He asked all at once
"Yeah I did" I took a spoonful of the broth but spat it out
"What!" I screeched
"What happened?, is there something wrong with it?" He asked fearfully creasing his perfectly carved brow
"Oh my God!, who made this?, it's a complete disaster " I said turning down my mouth in a sort of way that made it clear I don't like the food.
"But I made it so carefully" He said confused, oh no!.
"You made this, eww it's so salty and, and and in short it's distasteful" I said laughing my head off, he looks so sad, I stopped laughing, was wondering how quickly the food was made and now, ewww.
"Oh sweetheart I'm sorry, it's just so funny I couldn't help but smile " I told him trying to keep from laughing.
"Smile?, you were laughing your butt off" he said frowning, looking at me like I've got three heads
"Oh yeah maybe I had laughed a liltle, I might have laughed, I'm sorry, I mean I appreciate the love behind the making of the food but have you ever step into a kitchen? "
I asked trying to control my self, I can't help but want to laugh out loud.
"Yeah guess so" he replied trying to think
"What I mean to ask is that have you ever cooked something before?" I asked his nervous face
"Nope but I figured it was only to..." He tried explain
"That's the problem, you should know the basics of the cooking" I told him rubbing his cheek against mine.
"Are you saying you're willing to teach me?" He said in a dark sexy voice
"Uhn, what are you saying?" I asked dumbly as he drew me to himself and snaked his hand around my waist
"Are you willing or you want it the hard way?" His low rumble was affecting my brain movement, Gosh how can one be so dam*n sexy in a situation like this?, he is unbelievable.
"No I'm not willing " I said stubbornly
He stroked the side of my breast through the cloth, I shivered slightly, he put his lips on mine and nibbed my lower lip, I refused to give him access to my mouth.
He slipped his fingers inside my cow boy shirt, I wasn't putting on bra because it wasn't fitting with the cloth, he captured my right n*ipple in his large hard palm.
I gasped in the sweetness of it, he used the opportunity and captured my mouth in a soul wre..nching kiss, I returned his kiss with a passion of my own, he put his other hand around my waist and pulled me on his lap,
The fire started deep down my stomach, it spread quickly to my bre*ast, the pleasure and pain of it drifted and became one, I was caught in the passion of his lips, I forgot to breath, I could feel his member rock hard pressed against my wetness, all I wanted was to be layed beneath him right that moment,
I was caught in his world that I don't care to know what was happening around me anymore. He lifted his lips from mine, my eyes were still closed, I didn't want it to be over just yet.
"So are you willing to teach me how to cook or do you still want me to show you what I can do to you if you refuse?" He smirked.
