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
