3 First kiss

After a few seconds of Ava closing her eyes, there was a knock on the door.

"Gosh…who's it again tonight? Is Julie not yet back home? She loves to stay up late at night and keep disturbing me..urgh." Ava fought within herself as she got up to reach for the door. She didn't mind putting on some clothes because she thought it was her elder sister that was at the door.

Julie, her immediate elder sister, started to stay up late at night ever since she got a new boyfriend. Ava got tired of locking up after her which was why she started working late for a few extra bills.

The knock on the door continued.

"I'm coming…just hold on please!" She screamed. Turning the door lock and pulling it open, she turned her back swiftly as she scratched her head and yawned so loudly.

"Come in and lock up. I'm the only one home today." She carelessly replied and walked back to her room.

"Hey!" A voice called out to her but she had disappeared into her bedroom. It was the man who saved her from Sebastian. He stepped into the house and closed the door. She heard the loudness of the door and shouted back.

"Lock my door please! There are so many thieves in this neighborhood and I can't afford to be a victim again." Ava shouted as she loudly yawned. Thanks to her loud voice, he was able to trace where she had entered. He got into the room and turned on the lights but it was off.

"We are out of electricity…stop playing with the switch." Ava retorted. After his eyes accustomed to the darkness, he could see her clearly laying on the bed with her chest. She had a short towel on which revealed her straight, fair legs.

They were seducing as his eyes strolled from her feet to her thighs. He moved closer and wanted to touch her on the leg but was uncertain. He squeezed his fingers, withdrawing them away as he swallowed some saliva. He tried to call her again but he didn't know her name.

"Hey." He called out calmly but she didn't respond. He moved closer to her and patted her on her ankle twice. She still didn't move or respond. He sat down on the bed slowly as his eyes stared at her back. He swallowed saliva as he looked away. He was about to tap her again but on her back when she turned, her leg hit him just in between his legs as he groaned in pain.

"What is wrong with you?" He yelled at her in pain as she got up. Shocked to see a man in her room, she wanted to scream but he used his hand to close her mouth, not allowing her voice to escape through. If she screamed loud and someone heard her, they would get into the house and might accuse him of being a thief.

He couldn't bear the risk of that, especially how the poor handled thieves in that neighborhood. He might end up getting burned alive. Thoughts of that scared him as he held tighter to reduce her screams.

"Shh…calm down. It's me, Maxwell. I came to return your keys to you." He said to her, trying to calm her down. Her eyes drifted as she stopped fidgeting with him. Seeing that she was now calm, he removed his hand from her mouth.

"Don't come near me!" She reprimanded.

"Does it look like I want to? Just take your keys and don't be careless next time. I told you I don't want to meet with you again." He replied back to her coldly. He dipped his hand in his chest pocket and pulled out her keys. She recognized them as he handed them to her. It was the restaurant keys.

Ava looked at the keys in her hand. She felt ashamed of herself for yelling at him and mistaking him for a thief. She couldn't remember losing her keys. It must have fallen off her pants when he brushed against her earlier that night.

"I…I'm sorry sir. By the way, I'm Ava, Ava Smith." She said with a sweet smile as she stretched out her hand for a shake but he smirked and she took it back.

"I'm not interested in knowing who you are. Show me the way out." He replied to her coldly.

"Sure. Let me put on something." She replied embarrassed as she noticed that she only had her towel on.

"You're in my way." She said to him as she expected him to shift.

"Pass." He said to her as he shifted and turned his back. She slipped and was about to fall but he was quick to hold her in his arms. He used one of his hands to hold her on the back while his other hand was holding her hand.

They stared into each other's eyes. The coldness wasn't there in his eyes. His sexy eyes made Ava get lost in them. He fixed his gaze deep in her eyes too as he slowly drifted them to her nose then to her lips as he slowly brought his head towards her.

Ava could feel her cheeks burning as they turned pink. She slowly parted her lips in a curvy and sexy way, revealing her bright set of white teeth which Maxwell couldn't handle as his lips pressed against Ava's.

Her eyes were closed and the same as his as he sucked on them. Ava parted her lips as she locked it with Maxwell's lower lips. They got carried away in a deep and passionate kiss. He tried to balance himself when her leg slipped and they fell on the bed.

Ava's towel had stripped off her body halfway. Not minding or knowing, they continued to kiss as Maxwell came on top of her. His hands began to caress through her body, making her start getting wet as her legs were spread out on the bed.

Ava grabbed him by the face and kissed him deeper, like someone hungry for a kiss.
