How can you mend a broken heart (Joel Miller AU)

Chapter 13.

Joel's face lit up as he walked into his own surprise party. He had no idea what was waiting for him inside, and the sight of his friends and family all gathered together was enough to bring tears to his eyes.

"Happy birthday, Joel!" everyone shouted as he walked in.

Joel was taken aback by the effort everyone had gone to for his birthday. The living room was decorated with balloons and streamers in his favourite colours, and there was a huge cake waiting for him on the dining table. He hugged each and every person in the room, thanking them for making his day special.

You watched from the side, smiling at the sight of Joel so happy. You were glad that you could be a part of making his day special, even though you had to keep the secret from him.

As the night went on, everyone ate, drank, and shared stories of their favourite memories with Joel. You couldn't help but feel grateful for the people in your life, and for the love that you and Joel shared.

As the party continued, the music grew louder and the atmosphere became livelier. You found yourself chatting with some of Joel's friends and catching up with his brother Tommy. However, you couldn't help stealing glances at Joel, who was laughing and joking with your family.

After a while, you made your way to the kitchen to refill your drink. You felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist and turned to see Joel standing behind you.

"Having a good time?" he asked, his lips brushing against your ear.

You turned in his arms and smiled up at him. "Yeah, it's great. But we should be more careful," you said, nodding towards the open door.

Joel looked at you quizzically, and you realized he didn't know what you were talking about. You decided to let it go and leaned in for a kiss. It was sweet and gentle, and you felt his hand move to the small of your back, pulling you closer.

Suddenly, you heard a cough behind you and pulled away to see your stepmom, Elvira, standing in the doorway with a smirk on her face.

"Am I interrupting something?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

You blushed and stepped away from Joel, feeling embarrassed. "Uh, no, we were just..."

Elvira held up a hand, cutting you off. "It's okay, I'm not here to judge. Just remember, there are kids around," she said, before turning and walking away.

You felt Joel's hand slip into yours, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry about her, I'll talk to her," you said, pulling him back to the living room.

During the party, you find a moment to pull Elvira aside and talk to her about what she saw. "Elvira, I know what you saw earlier, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable," you say, feeling embarrassed.

Elvira looks at you with a kind smile. "Oh, dear, it's not about making me uncomfortable. I just want you to be careful. Your father can be quite protective, you know."

"I know, and I appreciate your concern," you reply. "But I promise Joel and I are just taking things slow. We care about each other, but we're not rushing into anything."

Elvira nods understandingly. "I believe you, dear. I won't say anything to your father, but just be careful, okay? He's been through a lot, and so have you. Your father and I just want what's best for you."

"I know, and I appreciate your support," you say, giving her a hug. "Thank you for everything, Elvira."

As you walk away, you feel grateful for Elvira's understanding and support. You know that navigating your relationship with Joel won't be easy, but having someone like Elvira in your corner makes it a little less daunting.

After everyone had left, Joel turned to you with a huge grin on his face.

"I can't believe you kept this a secret from me," he said, wrapping his arms around you.

"I had to," you replied, laughing. "I wanted to make sure you had a great birthday."

Joel leaned in to kiss you, and you melted into his arms. The love and happiness that you felt in that moment were indescribable. You were grateful for every day that you got to spend with Joel, and for the love that you shared. You had come to realize that you were in love with him.

"I have one last present for you, birthday boy" you whispered in his ear. Joel tensed as he felt your breath fan against his skin. He could see the lust in your eyes and that ignited a fire inside him.

"Can I open it now, Mama?" He spoke gently as he played with the hem of your dress.

"Yes, you may, baby" you smirked as Joel swiftly pulled your dress upwards, revealing the lingerie you had been hiding for him all day.

"Someone's been naughty" his husky voice was all it took to create a pool of wetness in the skimpy fabric that covered your mound. "I don't know whether to praise you for being such a good girl for me today or punish you for hiding this from me" his hands gently traced the curve of your hips.

"I'm all yours, Joel. You can do whatever you please" A boyish smile spread on his lips and you thought you'd do anything to see it again and again.

"What a sweet little thing you are," he said as he cornered you, making you plop down on the couch. The room was still filled with balloons from the party and now in the middle of his sofa, there you laid in a leather garter belt and black see-through fabric.

He removed his shirt tossing it aside. Then kneeled in front of you and proceeded to manhandle you by pulling your thighs to scoot you over the edge and place them on his shoulders. "Lemme eat this birthday cake" his voice an octave lower as his finger pulled the fabric of your thong aside and admired your glistering cunt. "So fucking perfect" his eyes met yours for a small fraction until his mouth delved into your pussy. He moaned at the taste of you sending vibrations all through your body making you shiver.

It was as if he'd been starved and finally had been offered his favourite meal. His tongue played with your clit and alternated with his fingers when he dipped his tongue into your folds, savouring the fluids he was making out of you. "So sweet" his breath fanned your pussy and your hands travelled to his unkempt curls.

"Oh my god, Joel!" You moaned as his pace quickened, his free hand travelling to your breast and kneading the flesh there. His fingers curled inside of you, reaching that sweet spot that send you to the edge, white stars blinded your vision as a squelching sound you had never heard filled your ears.

When you opened your eyes you saw the pool of wetness that gathered on the floor and that drenched Joel's face and chest. "Did I-"You felt your face burn at the realization that just hit you.

"That was fucking hot, Mama" his eyes wide with surprise and a huge smirk plastered on his lips.

You had quirted all over him.

You heard his belt buckle and the next thing you knew was that you were in Joel's arms and a huff that indicated he had sat down with you straddling him.

"Save a horse, ride a cowboy" he spanked your ass twice urging you to take him. It made you yelp, but the hot pain travelled to your core.

And you happily complied.
