Angel's bliss 50
Zane knew something had changed, and he didn’t like it. Ava had always been comfortable around him, maybe with the exception of the first days. But now it was like she tried to put up a wall between them. It had started the night he and Jax had met with two of the other families to talk about Johnson. Jax had made an idiotic comment which had Zane wanting to kill his friend. Jax had made it sound like they were heading out to party with women. To make the fucking mess even better, Zane didn’t have time to get away and call Ava like he had said he would. When he had come home to find his bed empty, he had gone into panic for a moment, fearing something had happened. When he had found her sleeping in her room, he had been pissed. After that night, something was different. At first Zane had considered that Ava had been upset by him not calling. But she didn’t seem upset. She was her usual happy self, and she was just as passionate when they had sex. She just wasn’t as present. It was slo

An hour later, the SUV stopped in front of the small house in the suburban part of the city. Zanes men had arrived half an hour before to make sure the aunt and uncle wouldn’t be home. They had been encouraged to go out and eat their dinner outside their home. Zane helped Ava out of the car, and she smiled as she looked at the house. “They have repaired the front step and the porch,” she said in a cheerful voice. “I told you it would be done,” Zane reminded her and followed her up onto the small porch. Ava was about to reach for the door handle and stopped. “It’s okay, Angel. The house is empty.” She looked up at him.“No one’s at home?”“No, not a soul. It’s just you and me.” She nodded and opened the door and invited Zane inside. Zane had never been in a place like this. He had grown up in a mansion, the few friends he had growing up were also living in mansions or were children of his father’s men and would come to the mansion. As he got older, his lifestyle wasn’t one which had

Ava was sitting and reading as Zane and Jax were playing pool. Ryder had gone to take Gabriel for their fourth date and Ava was looking forward to getting all the news from Gabriel later, or perhaps tomorrow. It had been an emotional day with visiting her old home. But it had also been cathartic, and she felt better after she had done it. She had revealed more of herself to Zane. She had spent the better part of a week trying to place a wall between them. But it had been emotionally exhausting, and it had felt so much better this afternoon when she didn’t have to watch every single word or action in his company. Maybe she just needed to accept that she had feelings for him. Not that she would let him know. Zane had been very clear what he needed and wanted from their relationship was just sex, no attachment. So she would give him that. Maybe when it was over he would at least see her as a friend. When her time was up with him, she would take her broken heart and she would start a new

When Zane had unbuttoned her shirt, Ava felt his hands caressing up from her waist, shaping her body contour as they moved upwards. They stopped just below her breasts. His thumbs ran over the lacy fabric of her bra, and Ava felt her nipples pebble at the simple touch. She wanted him to touch her more, to play with her breasts. Instead, his hands went to her shoulders and pushed her shirt down her arms. Ava felt it fall to the floor. Ava wondered for a brief moment why she never felt uncomfortable showing her body to Zane. Something in the way he looked at her made her relax and stopper her aunts nagging voice in her head that she wasn’t good enough. Zane always made her feel like she was desirable and sexy. “Beautiful,” Zane told her as he walked around her, letting his hand gently drag over her skin. He kissed her bare shoulder and sent a shiver down Ava’s spine. She heard the rustle of fabric against fabric and then she felt Zane against her back. She could feel his dress shirt pr

Ava relaxed into the bed while listening for Zane’s soft footsteps. A gentle touch from his lips landed on her upper arm. He graced his fingers over her stomach. Each caress and touch raised the fever in Ava’s body. She wanted to squirm, to manoeuvre her body with the little give the restraints gave her, so she could get release. But Zane had told her to be still, so she bit down on her bottom lip and pleaded for her body to remain motionless. “Don’t bite your lip, angel. You will hurt yourself,” Zane told her, tugging her lip free with his thumb. Ava wanted to scream at him, beg him to give her what she needed. Instead, she let out a soft whimper. “Do you feel needy?” he asked, cupping her pussy with his hand, not moving it or helping her get what she needed.“Yes, Sir,” she said and nodded as best she could. “But I told you I would worship your body,” he reminded her as he ran both of his hands up one of her legs and followed up with kisses. “Zane, you said you would make me cum,

Ava listened to the sounds as she felt Zane get off the bed. She heard the soft sound of fabric against skin and the hard metallic noise of a belt buckle being undone. With each of the sounds her anticipation and need grew. She knew Zane was getting undressed and even though all she wanted to do was to run her hands over his skin and feel his hard muscles playing under her touch, all she could do was to lie in bed and listen. Ava couldn’t even look at him, but her mind summoned the image as clear as if she could see him. She tried to figure out what he would do next but had to give up when she realized that she didn’t have a clue. Ava heard his soft footsteps as he moved closer to the bed. She felt his soft fingertips as he caressed her right arm from the shoulder and up to her hand. “Open your hand, Angel,” he told her in a soft voice. Ava let go of the strap that tied her to the bed. Zane placed something in her hand. It felt like some sort of plastic box and he took her thumb and

The night of the gala was approaching, all Zane had told Ava was that her dress would be black in a classic style. It wasn’t much to go on, but Ava had booked an appointment at Salon Noire. Gabriel offered to keep her company. It would give them time to catch up as well. Ava arrived, accompanied by Ryder and Carlos. She had asked Gabriel if it would be okay with him that Ryder came along as her bodyguard. Ava was worried Gabriel would feel uncomfortable to have someone he dated be in the same company as him, but not be able to interact in that way. She knew Ryder would never be unprofessional when he was on duty. But Gabriel had assured her he didn’t care. He knew what Ryder did for a living and he was used to him in that capacity when the two friends were hanging out. “So tell me all about your dress,” Tammy urged Ava as she started doing her hair. “I can’t say much about it, I know it’s black and that it has a classic look,” Ava told her.“Honey, how come you don’t know what your

Zane looked at the man that was walking towards them. His instinct was to wrap his arm around Ava’s waist and pull her to him. But he controlled himself and let his hand remain on her back, enjoying feeling her naked skin against the palm of his hand. “It is you. What a pleasant surprise. You look amazing,” the man said. “Thank you. Zane, this is Dr James Lisowski. We used to work together. I think I mentioned him to you a couple of weeks ago. James, this is Mr Velky, my new employer,” Ava introduced them.“Amongst other things,” Zane said and held out his hand toward James. James gave him a questioning look. “Mr Velky? Any association to the Velky family?” James asked. At least the man wasn’t spineless, Zane thought. Most people would avoid the subject of his organisation.“I’m head of it,” Zane said. He wasn’t ashamed of what he did. He watched Ava for a reaction, but she didn’t show any sign of discomfort as he told this man she was working for the mafia. James, on the other han
