Angel's bliss 21
It had almost been a week since Ava had accepted Zanes offer. She was surprised at how quickly she had got accustomed to her new life. She had started to think of the room in the mansion as home, started to get to know other people of Zane’s organisation besides Zane, Jax, Ben and Ryder. Everyone had treated her with respect and had been mindful of not invading her space. It was the one thing Ava still had an issue with. She tensed up as soon as men got to close to her. Well, not Zane. For some reason he was the exception to the rule. She even had a hard time if Ryder or Tom got to close. But her body didn’t see Zane as a threat. Instead, it seemed to crave his touch. And boy did he touch her. After not doing anything the Sunday after their first sexual encounter, Zane had changed again and now they had developed a routine. It consisted of them eating breakfast together, then they would go to Zane’s office where he would work, and she read or texted with Gabriel or surfed around looki

Ava had chosen the teal blue dress for the evening. It clung to her body like a second skin and had a strap over one shoulder, leaving the other naked. But the thing that made the dress stand out were the decorative seams that had been sewn in a way that showed off her curves. They seemed to outline her breasts, ass, and hips. She had eaten dinner with Ryder and Tom in the dining room. Zane and Jax were out on business that would keep them out longer than usual. When they got back, they all would go straight to the club. There was a soft knock on the door and when Ava opened it, Zane was standing outside. It looked like he was about to say something, but he just looked at her.“Hi. Is it time to head out?” Ava asked.“Yes,” he said.“Let me just grab my purse,” she told him. She left the door open as she walked over to the dresser to get her clutch. Ava could feel Zane’s eyes on her as she moved over to get her phone and put into the clutch. “Sorry to keep you. All done,” she said wit

"You have a secretary?” Ava asked as they were walking along the bar. She had never seen a secretary during the week she had been in his life. Zane made a gesture towards Veronica that she should met them at the other end of the bar before answering Ava.“Of course I do. Ryder is my secretary.”“Ryder?” Ava turned around and looked at the man that were following them.“Yes,” Zane said with a smile. “You don’t think he can do it?”“No, It’s not that. I just thought he was your bodyguard,” Ava said.“He is, he is both.”“But you have him following me around. How can he help you if he is doing that?”“He and Tom are my best and most trusted men, of course I used them for your protection. His duties as my secretary aren’t that heavy,” Zane told her as they stopped by the end of the bar where Veronica joined them. “I tasted your drink, we enjoyedf it. I would like it to put it on the drink list. Any objections?” Zane asked Veronica. Veronica looked at him in surprise and then at Ava. Ava s

Zane was seething with anger, he wanted to kill someone. That someone preferably being the little shit squirming on the floor in the break room. He would make Dave follow his friend as well for good measure. But for once he had controlled his bloodlust. The reason was trembling in his arms as he made his way to the back door of the club. He had to remind himself she wasn’t used to the violence which was a natural part of his world. The sight of her trying to defend herself with a fucking fork while that vile creature put his hand on her had Zane close to losing his sanity. She was his, and no other man were to place his hands on her. “Zane, I think I can walk on my own,” Ava’s frail voice said. “You are precisely where you should be,” he told her as he forced himself to keep his voice soft. “I’m fine,” she insisted. “I know you are, I’m not,” he told her. “Okay,” she said, relaxing in his arms again. Zane wasn’t lying, having her in his arms was the only thing keeping him from go

“Angel.” The soft word rolled over Ava, and she looked up at Zane. He stood in the doorway of the room, looking at her. “Yes?” she asked.“Why haven’t you moved?” “Oh, I don’t really know. I need to start cleaning my room,” she said. Her mind was a little foggy. She hadn’t had the best of days, and her reserve energy was about to deplete. She needed to make sure she could sleep in her bed before she crashed. “Angel, you won’t have to clean that up. Anna will sort it out,” Zane told her as he took a step into the room and closed the door behind him. “I can’t let her do that. It’s late, and she has already been working the whole day,” Ava objected. A smile curved Zane’s lip. “She will do it tomorrow. I’m not a slavedriver.”“But where will I sleep?” she asked, confused. “You can stay right here with me tonight. Just sleeping.” She looked at him. She was confused. This was his private room, no one but him was allowed here. “Don’t look so surprised, angel. Go on and take a shower, o

Zane smiled down at her and kissed both her cheeks, the spot between her brows, both sides of her mouth and then gave her a gentle kiss on the mouth. “Your face tells me everything. You are an open book, never play poker,” he chuckled. Ava blushed. She had no idea she was that easy to read. That could be a problem. To distract herself, she traced the outline of a rose on Zane’s shoulder. It was one of several that stretched over his shoulder, down to his arm. She could see a black snake entwined in the roses and a dagger. “Do they bother you?” he asked. Ava looked up in surprise. “No, I find them fascinating,” she told him. She saw his face changing into an amused smile.“You never stop surprising me, angel,” he told her and lifted a lock of her hair and played with it. “Do they have meaning?” Ava asked as she traced the dagger with her finger. “Most of them do. Some are just to fill space and bring it together,” he told her. She made a soft sound to let him know she understood. S

Zane’s firm hands lifted Ava up from his lap and helped her wrap her legs tightly around him. Without ending the kiss, Zane stood up and Ava clung to him like a spider monkey. His hands supported her by grabbing her ass and helped her continue to grind against him. “Remembered what we talked about the second night at the club?” Zane asked Ava. He sounded out of breath.“If I don’t want to continue, I say ‘stop’,” Ava said. In her mind, she thought that there was no way she was going to use that word. “That’s right but let’s use a different word, if you feel we should stop, say three. Can you remember that angel?” Zane used a serious voice.“Three means stop,” she told him.“Good girl, promise me you will use it if you need to.”“Promise,” she told him. “I promised you a reward.” Zane gave her one of his sexy smirks, and Ava wondered when she had started to think of them as sexy. Her thoughts was interrupted by another soul igniting kiss. Ava could feel Zane’s hands let go of her a

Zane looked down at Ava as she slept. She was curled into him with her head on his shoulder and her golden hair spread all over the pillows. She had never looked so innocent and beautiful. Zane wanted to trace her face with his finger, but he didn’t want to disturb her. He looked at the clock on his bedside table and saw it was almost five in the morning. She deserved to sleep some more. He was satisfied just looking at her. It was a new thing, waking up with someone in his bed. He tried to avoid actually sleeping with the women he had sex with. Sleeping together seemed to invoke intimacy, which he didn’t want. But Ava, she looked right in his bed, like she was the thing that had been missing from it until now. As he looked at her and gently played with the ends of her hair, he had to be honest with himself and confess that he loved her. Even in his own head, those words sounded grand and terrifying to him. He had no illusions about who he was or what he did. He was a selfish man who

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
