Todos os capítulos de Saving Ava: Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 40

The sun was sinking in the sky, casting long shadows across the road as Carver eased his sleek black car into traffic. Ava sat in the passenger seat, her eyes tracing the cityscape that blurred past the window. The radio played low, its melodies barely punctuating the silence that had settled between them. Carver glanced at Ava. Her eyes were unfocused, as if she were a million miles away. He could feel it, the tension in her shoulders, the way her lips pressed together in a hard line, unspoken words, unease. Her energy was a palpable thing, swirling in the space between them. Finally, she broke the silence. "Do you usually hire your subs?" Ava asked, her voice imbued with an almost acerbic curiosity. Carver's fingers tightened momentarily around the steering wheel. "She was already working in her current position when she applied," he said carefully. It was a fact, but it felt like an evasion. Her question hinted at something deeper, a suspicion, an accusation, something yet undefi

Carver felt a rush of desire surge through him at her words, momentarily casting him in a chaotic whirlpool of excitement and anticipation marked by obvious arousal. He looked at her, feeling his pulse quicken, but then took a breath to ground himself. "We can take it slow, Ava," he said, his voice steady, "step by step." He walked to the closet, his thoughts a heady mix of arousal and caution. This was treacherous ground they were about to tread on. A landscape of both emotional and physical risks. The air in the room seemed to electrify as he made his way to the closet. He opened the door and retrieved a small wooden box. It was elegantly carved, but nondescript, its contents a closely guarded secret until now. As he carried it to the bed, Carver grappled with the chaotic mess of thoughts. He felt the intoxicating allure of the items in the box. Each one possessing the power to intensify their intimacy and connection. However, they also had the power and potential to distort or de

As they lay on the bed, Carver looked into Ava's eyes and sensed a blend of excitement and hesitation. With deliberate movements, he began to lightly kiss and touch her body. Starting at her neck and tracing a path downward with his fingers and lips. Each touch tender yet filled with unspoken promises. He worked his hands over the terrain of her body, his fingers expertly navigating the valleys and contours of her soft skin. A moan escaped Ava's lips. The sensation was hypnotic, a lulling dance of pressure and release. Eventually, Carver's journey led him to her feet. He picked up one, then lowered his head, his lips planting a soft kiss on each one of her toes. Suddenly, he gently enveloped her little toe with his tongue. It was an unexpected sensation, and Ava bucked in response, the playful act pulling her fully into the present moment. That's when it hit her: her wrists were still secured to the bedposts. For the first time, the reality of her immobility slammed into her conscio

The room felt electric, alive with unvoiced thoughts and unexpressed feelings. Ava considered his words carefully. Contemplating not just their literal meaning but also the texture of the emotional fabric between them. "Is that something you wanted too?" she ventured, probing into an area that neither had dared to discuss openly before. He hesitated, gathering his thoughts like scattered pieces of a puzzle. "I guess I'll try anything. Once," he said, the last word tinged with both possibility and caution. His declaration held a certain openness. An invitation to chart new territories in the dynamic terrain of their relationship. Ava looked at him, her expression unreadable for a moment. She never had a bisexual boyfriend before. Then, as if making an internal decision, her eyes sparkled with a kind of audacious clarity. "Peyton," she called out loudly, her voice filled with newfound conviction. "Come to the bedroom please!" She knew Peyton would hear her, not just through the walls

"I need to take this," Carver said, quickly exiting the bedroom. His footsteps led him into the bathroom where he could talk without disturbing anyone. Peyton, always in his role as protector and confidante, instinctively moved to follow Carver but was stopped by a quick, dismissive gesture. "Stay with Ava. I got this," Carver insisted, his eyes unreadable. Peyton returned to the bed, where Ava was pulling her clothes back on. He couldn't help but notice the wet spot on the bed, a tangible reminder of what had transpired just minutes earlier. His mind involuntarily replayed the images from the security camera. At the time, he'd felt a complex blend of guilt and arousal, and now, here he was, in the middle of this evolving dynamic with the objects of his desires. Ava sat down next to him, her body just shy of pressing completely against his. She released a contemplative sigh that seemed to encapsulate all the conflicting emotions swirling within her. "Peyton, I don't know if I can
