Chapter Ten
    "There you are, darling. I've missed you all day. Where on earth have you been?” The sweet sound of Ava's voice blanketed Shane like warm sunshine after a cold, wet rain. He hardly gained his bearings when she launched her curvy warmth into his arms and planted a hot open-mouthed kiss on his very surprised mouth. She looked like a dark-haired goddess and smelled like heaven on earth.
    "Hi sweetheart,” Shane held her close as their noses touched. He drank in the sight of her, like a thirsting man on a desert. “I've been right here, all the time, waiting for you. How are you tonight?"
    "I'm fine, now.” Those eyes filled with unshed tears, but as they both turned and spied the look on the shocked faces of Brittany and Richard, Shane and Ava couldn't help but burst into uncontrollable laughter.
    "Oh, look who's here, Shane. It's Brittany and Dick."
    "Richard,” the ex spurted weakly.
    "Like I said, Dick. Funny to see you here. Heard you got married.” Ava's arms were still around Shane's neck, and he prayed this wasn't an act, and that she'd never let go. “What a funny coincidence."
    "Sure is, honey,” Shane nuzzled her neck, and whispered, “I missed you like crazy."
    "Me too.” She bit his ear, and he shivered like a randy teenager. “We need to talk."
    His voice choked. “The last thing I want to do with you right now is talk."
    Ava nodded and turned back to the couple with mouths agape as if they were fish waiting to be fed.
    "You and Ava are. . . together?” Dick rasped.
    "In more ways than one.” Shane winked, while Ava's sexy chuckle hardened him to stone.
    Brittany stuck her pointy nose in the air, and sniffed. “You do realize, Ava, that you're much older than Shane."
    His ex-fiancee's attempt at being catty only fueled the fire in Ava's beautiful eyes. He secretly cheered her on and sensed an Oscar winning performance wasn't far behind.
    "Oh goodness, Brittany, what's eleven years between lovers? You know what they say about the young ones?” She threw Brittany a wink as though they were in each other's confidence. “They can go all night and then some. Once they hit forty, well, oh sorry, didn't mean to insult anyone, but,” she gestured toward Dick and added a shrug for good measure. “The engine does slow down a bit, doesn't it?"
    Ava leaned in as if to share a secret with the aghast blonde. “I really must thank you,” she and looked over at Dick. “Both of you."
    "Thank us?” Brittany frowned, a blank stare not far behind. “F. . . for what?"
    Ah, Brittany, Shane thought, always one step behind in the ‘get a clue’ department.
    Ava moved closer to Shane, so close that his cock gave a fierce throb. She'd never leave him again, of that he made a silent vow.
    "More than you know,” Shane answered.
    Ava chuckled. “Well, if it weren't for the two of you fucking, lying and cheating behind our backs, we never would have found each other. Isn't that right, love?"
    That's it baby, pour it on . “Abso-fucking-lutely.” Shane wanted to leave them with a final thought. “The two of you hurt Ava and I fucking hate you for that. You deserve each other."
    Brittany and Dick didn't move, just sat as if waiting for direction.
    "Oh and one last thing, Dick,” Shane leaned into the ex. “Ask Brittany how many other men she was fucking when she worked for you.” He wasn't done taunting Ava's ex. “I gotta tell you man, it's probably a good thing you let Ava go. She sure can wear a man out. She probably would have given you a heart attack with that hot body and wicked mouth of hers.” He winked. “If you know what I mean."
    It was Ava's turn. “Oh, Brittany, by the way, don't let Richard eat too many onions, he gets terrible heartburn. And don't let him drink anything after eight p.m., or he'll be going to the bathroom all night. It's what happens when you're Dick's age.” “Oh, and one more
