After lunch, Ava and Gabriel headed back and found the salon. They were greeted by a small woman that had energy rolling off her. She was happy and sparkly, and Ava found it contagious. She introduced herself as Tammy, Jill’s friend.“I love your hair colour. The honey blond is so right for you. We will make it into your signature look. We’ll just have to work a little on the style. When was the last time you went to the hairdresser?” Tammy asked Ava as Ava sat down in her chair.“Oh, let me see. Five years ago?” Ava said hesitantly.“No, I dragged you to one when Joan got married. That is like three years ago,” Gabriel corrected her. “That’s true.” Ava nodded.“Oh my. Well, that explains it.” Tammy said.“Is it that bad?” Ava asked.“No, not at all. It just has no shape. I would love to just put in some layers and freshen it up a little. Would that be okay?”“You’re the professional. I trust you,” Ava said. Ava spent a couple of hours being pampered, getting her hair and nails done
Zane stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at his watch, five minutes to six and still no Ava. He felt his irritation grow. If she thought she could get away with defying him, she had another thing coming. He wouldn’t hesitate to go up there and drag her down. The rhythmic sound of heels hitting the stairs made him look up. Ava was walking down the stairs. At least Zane thought it was Ava. This creature looked like an angel if God had added sexy temptress to the list of angel requirements. Gone were the dull clothes and messy hair. Zane had always suspected Ava’s clothes were hiding her true form. But looking at her now, he realised he had underestimated her natural sensuality. She was wearing a soft pink dress with silver sequins strewn all over it, making the light bounce off it. It created the illusion that she was sparkling. The left arm had a full sleeve, and the other arm was bare. There was no cleavage to speak of. But the waist was cinched and made her full breast and
The grip at the base of Ava’s neck wasn’t painful. In a way, it was comforting, and to her own horror, Ava found herself liking it. She knew Zane was claiming her as his. She would rather be his than being left exposed to the two men across the table who were both drooling over her. She still wasn’t entirely comfortable in her dress; it drew far too much attention to her. But at least Zane seemed satisfied with it. And it had the desired effect on the two men. They were definitely distracted as they started talking business. Ava listened to the conversation while sipping her cocktail. It tasted okay, better than most of the ones she had tried before. She had a hard time keeping up with the discussion around the table. They seemed to use codewords. She guessed that would be wise since they were in public discussing what Ava presumed to be illegal things. After listening for a while, Ava understood the jest of what they were saying. The two men were trying to sell something, drugs, Ava
“Put your guns down,” Zane growled at Victor and his men. Victor made a jerky nod with his head, and they all put their guns away. Zane and Jax also put theirs away and sat down at the table again. They must have stood up as they drew their guns, Ava thought. Ryder and Tom still had their guns out, but they lowered them. “Have a nice evening, Victor, and give my best to your boss,” Zane said, dismissing the four men for the second time.“The same to you, Mr Velky,” Victor said. It only took them minutes to exit the restaurant. When they did, Ryder and Tom put away their guns and Ava felt herself relax. Jax moved to a seat opposite her and Zane. He had a smile on his face. A waitress appeared at the table. Jax ordered a steak, medium, without having been offered a menu.“I’ll have the Steak au Poivre and the lady will have the seared lamb,” Zane said. He hadn’t looked at a menu either or asked Ava what she would like. Ava thought she should be upset about it, or at least object and ask
Zane was standing at the bar, talking to the club’s manager and Jax. Ava’s revelation there had been an increase in the number of overdoses from impure drugs made Zane inform his manager to keep an eye out. As they were talking, Zane had a clear view to where Ava sat. She had turned her back towards them, looking out over the crowd. She was showing of her almost naked back and Zane found the view tantalising. He also enjoyed all the men, and some women, who were also looking at his angel. She didn’t seem to notice how much attention she was attracting; how natural and easy her sensuality was. He lost track of the conversation he was having when a man approached her. Zane could see her tense up. He was ready to stride over to her when Ryder handled the issue. Zane looked on as Ryder took up post next to Ava, he was now free to go back to the conversation with Jax and the manager but found he was irritated.“Zane?” Jax asked.“What?” He sounded harsh and irritated even to himself. “Any
Ava felt amazing under Zane’s hands. The way her body surrendered and responded to him was like nothing he had experienced. The way she slowly let go of herself had him on the verge of coming undone. His hand on her naked thigh moved up under the skirt. He could feel the heat from her centre as he moved higher. His angel squirmed and pressed her full thighs together.“Relax, Angel,” he told her, and licked her ear. Ava’s hand grabbed his wrist and stopped his hand from moving further up her thigh. “I don’t know if I can do this,” she told him.“It’s okay, angel. You are mine, I will not hurt you. I will make you feel really good, let me show you,” he told her and used his grip around her throat to turn her head so he could kiss her. He kissed her and waited for her body to relax. As he felt her relax again, the grip on his wrist was still there, but not as tight. He moved his hand further up and waited for and objection. There was none, he let his fingers glide over her panty clad pu
Pressed up against the glass with her dress hiked up around her waist and her panties god knows where, Ava should have felt self-conscious. But all she could focus on was the kiss and Zane’s body that was pressed up against her. Her brain was still a little foggy from her orgasm. She had never experienced anything close to the earth-shattering orgasm Zane had given her. A small part of her brain was telling her she needed to have a think about why her resistance melted away as soon as he put his hands on her. But the rest of her brain was telling her to focus on the tall, dark and dangerous god that pressed up against her. She was more than happy to listen to that part. Zane ended the kiss and took half a step back from her. Ava felt the loss of his body heat like a physical pain. What was her body doing to her? “On your knees,” he told her in a dark and rough voice. Ava didn’t hesitate to bend her knees and fall on them in front of him, looking up to meet his eyes. Shouldn’t she be
Zane sat behind his desk in his office at the mansion and tried to focus on the report he was reading. Try, being the operative word. His eyes kept drifting over to Ava, sitting in a chair to his left, reading something on her phone that had her frowning. He sighed and turned back toward the screen in front of him. His mind drifted to last night. The taste of her on his tongue, the feel of her mouth as she pleasured him. The way she had made him cum from a simple blowjob was new to him. He had craved more, to take things further with his angel. He wanted to make her his in every way. But he also feared the feeling. There was a part of himself waring him she could end up being his ultimate addiction. If there was one thing Zane had learned from being around drugs most of his life, it was how to spot an addiction a mile away. He also knew to avoid it at all costs. The only way to do that was to limit your intake. So, he had spent the rest of the night trying to work. They had driven hom
After Ava’s surprise visit by the detectives, she found herself with stricter rules than usual on where she could go and with whom. Zane usually saw it as good enough if Ryder, Tom or Marco were with her alongside one or two of their other men. But now she was back to only be allowed out in the company of Tom and Ryder. It was a throwback to her first weeks in the mansion. But she accepted it as she wanted Zane to not work himself up. He was stressed out as it was, and the long hours of work didn’t help. Gabriel was complaining that Ryder had become grumpy and closed off and Linda reported the same were true for Jax. They all three knew their men was overworking themselves, but they also knew it was necessary and the only thing they could do was to help their men to de-stress.“Me and Gabriel will have to work a little late tonight,” Ava told Zane as they were getting ready for the day.“No, angel. Both Tom
"Are you okay, angel?” Zane asked Ava and gently took a hold of her chin and tilted it upwards to make her look at him. Ava smiled at him.“I am. You are here and that makes me okay,” she answered him. He chuckled and kissed her lightly.“Tom has cleared some time in your schedule. You and Gabriel are coming with us, we will have lunch and there are things we need to talk about,” Zane told her. She nodded and saw Ryder and Gabriel walking out of Gabriel’s office hand in hand. Zane took them to In Cavea Aurea where a private table had been set up for them. Jax was waiting for them at the table.“I heard you had an exciting morning. Are you okay?” Jax asked Ava. She smiled at him and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.“I’m fine, and so is the baby,” she told him before letting Zane guide her to a chair. Once everyone had sat down and the food was ordered, Zane asked Ava to tell them abou
Ava had been back to work for a few days, and it was starting to feel like she never had been away. She was pleased to see that whatever improvements had been made to their security system, it wasn’t visible. Zane and Ava had decided it was time to let people outside of the closest circle know she was pregnant. They had discussed the possibility it would make her even more of a target. But she was not worried. Ava had Tom and she knew Zane had other men stationed in the building and probably outside it as well. She was sitting in her office, looking at the latest budget for the LGBTQ+ safe space. Gabriel’s dream was slowly growing and becoming a reality. Her intercom buzzed.“Mrs. Velky, two police detectives are here. they want to speak to you,” Tom told her. Ava felt a moment of fear, had something happened to Zane? But she pushed that thought to the side. If something had happened, she wouldn’t be told by the police, someone in the organisation
Zane looked at his angel as she kneeled on the black satin sheets on the bed. The way the gold chains emphasised the growing baby bump had him drooling. He hadn’t thought it would be possible for Ava to become sexier and more alluring. But the fact that he could see their child growing inside of her, it stroked a primitive part of him. He caressed her belly with his hand. He had made sure to read up on suitable positions and punishments for his angel as they moved forward. He wanted their baby safe, but he knew neither him or Ava would do well without their playtime. “Ready, angel?” he asked as he let his hand move from her belly to grip the nipple vibrator and tug on it. Ava’s breath hitched and then a small moan escaped her.“Yes, Sir,” she said. The way she called him Sir made his cock twitch. He picked up the silk rope and started tying it to her ankles. He worked in silence, sometimes letting his hands travel up her legs, almost all the way to where he knew she wanted his touch.
Tom helped Ava out of the car at the club, she did her best not to reveal anything when she stepped out. It wasn’t easy with the way the trench coat was designed and with what little she had on underneath. She squared her shoulders and walked past the queue of people waiting to get inside. She could hear someone starting to cat call her and she heard the man’s huff as the air left his lungs. Tom would have landed a punch in the man’s gut; she knew it without looking. Just as she knew the man wouldn’t be let into to the club this evening, and if Zane got wind of the incident; probably never again. The man at the door smiled at her.“Good evening Mrs. A, it’s nice to see you back,” he told her.“Good evening, Luther. It looks packed tonight,” Ava said.“It is. Let any of the boys know if you have any issues,” he reminded her.“Thank you.” Ava walked into the club with th
Ava was nervous when she showered and got dressed, she was nervous when Zane took her downstairs, and she was nervous as they ate dinner with Miguel. She had a hard time focusing on the conversation and while she usually didn’t have a problem with small talk, she now found it hard to follow along. Zane hadn’t given her even a hint at what her punishment would be, and Ava was becoming obsessed with trying to find out.“I think we will retire early tonight, my wife seems tired,” Zane told Miguel as they had finished eating.“Of course. Have a nice evening, Mrs. A,” Miguel said.“Thank you,” Ava said. They all stood up and Miguel left the room first. Ava was about to do the same when Zane stopped her.“You will go up to our room, you will pick out some sexy lingerie that you think I will enjoy and you will sit down on the edge of the bed and wait for me. I will join you in twenty minutes. If I d
Miguel joined Ava and Zane for breakfast the following day. Both him and Zane made sure to keep the conversation casual and light. Ava didn’t mind, she knew Zane would talk to her in private if he felt she needed to know why Miguel had come. “We will probably be in meetings or out on business for most of the day. Will you be okay?” Zane asked as they were done with breakfast. “Linda and I figured so we have booked a girls day at the pool for some relaxation,” Ava told him. Zane bent down so he could whisper in her ear. “You better not be thinking about going skinny-dipping, angel. I will check in on you and I better see a bikini on that body of yours.”“I would never skinny-dip without you,” she whispered back. “Fucking right,” he agreed, kissed her and then he and Miguel left. Ava took a moment to collect herself before going upstairs to change. She and Linda met at the pool. Both were wearing big fluffy bathrobes that were tightly tied at the waist. “So,” Linda said.“Yes,” Ava
Ava and Linda had a nice and quiet dinner. As none of the boys made it down before they were finished, the two of them decided to have a game night on their own. They moved to the living room and started playing Canasta. Anna made sure they had snacks and they gossiped as they played.“Let’s make it interesting and play for something other than just bragging rights,” Linda suggested.“Like money?” Ava asked. She was uncomfortable at the idea of gambling; it had never worked out well for her.“No. With the two men we live with, playing for money just doesn’t seem fun,” Linda said, and Ava agreed.“How about we do a dare? Whoever has the lowest score by the end of the evening have to do the dare?” Linda proposed. Ava thought about it, it sounded fun. She had played quite a lot of Canasta with Anna and Linda; she was almost confident she could win. She just needed to keep a straight
Life returned to its normal state after Luka left. Ava spent her days being spoiled by Zane and the staff. Her two weeks staying home would soon be up and she prepared to go back to the office. To be on the safe side, she called Gabriel to check if something major had happened she needed to be aware of.“Nothing big. We have a new client that I was planning for the two of us to have lunch with when you get back and we are all leaving early on Friday for the renovation,” he told her.“Renovation?” she asked.“Hasn’t the boss told you? Jax called the other day to tell me Zane had ordered some extra security to be installed. I guess he is a little worried about you going back to work,” Gabriel explained.“He didn’t tell me.”“I, on the other side, am thrilled that you will be back. I miss you, and it’s so boooooring to eat lunch with the others,” he said. Ava laughed
