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

“And she just jumped straight into it. Started buttering him up and flirting like there was no tomorrow,” Jax said, sounding bitter.“Are you interested in her?” Zane asked.“Fuck no. Not as more than a onetime fuck. Sorry Ava,” Jax added. “Don’t mind me,” she said.“So you’re not interested in her. She used the mark’s attraction to her advantage to get you what you wanted. I don’t see the issue,” Zane told his friend. “There is no issue.” Both Zane and Jax turned to Ava when they heard her giggle. “What? Care to share what’s so funny, angel?” Zane asked.“He is grumpy because Jennie isn’t falling over herself to get his attention. Another man noticed her and she rolled with it instead of focusing on Jax and he doesn’t like to be treated like he treats women,” Ava said, still giggling.“I am not interested in her,” Jax objected.“I know you aren’t. That’s what makes it so much fun. You are just so used to women thinking you are god’s gift to them. Then when Jennie didn’t act like t

Ava’s head was still a little foggy from the scolding fervent kiss Zane had given her when she walked over to James and the group of people he was standing with. “Ava,” he said with a smile when he saw her walking towards them.“Hello again,” Ava said, smiling at the other two people. “Ava, this is Dr Linda Walsh. She has just started at the hospital. This is Mr. Cleaso, one of the biggest donors for the new surgical wing. This is Ava Cobler. She used to work for us as a nurse,” he introduced her.“Nice to meet you,” Ava said. “You as well, miss Cobler,” Mr Cleaso told her. She could feel his eyes rake over her body and Ava forced herself not to take a couple of steps back. Linda just looked at her like she was trying to figure out where Ava fit into a puzzle. “Please, call me Ava,” Ava told Mr Cleaso.“Only if you promise to call me Marcus,” he said, firing off what Ava thought was meant to be a smouldering smile. Having been around Zane and Jax, it just looked comical to Ava. Bu

Ava gasped for air when Zane’s lips travelled down her throat as his hand caressed down her leg, finding the slit in the dress and pulling her leg around him as he exposed it. “Zane,” she half-heartedly objected. Her body was, as usual, responding to his touch, but her mind was aware of the party that was going on just a few feet away. “I have needed to fuck you since you came down the stairs, angel. This dress is driving me insane, and that fucking idiot has every part of me needing to claim my ownership of you,” Zane growled in her ear, making her whimper. Ava felt the need in her grow alarmingly fast as Zane’s hand travelled up her exposed leg. She heard him swear as his fingertips felt the delicate lace of the stockings. “You are killing me,” he murmured against her neck as his lips tasted her pulse. “Someone might come by,” she pointed out.“I don’t care. Your body is singing to me. We won’t be here long, angel,” he said. Ava knew he was right. She could feel her body rapidly

Ava was surprised that she wasn’t alone as she stepped into the bathroom. “Dr Walsh?” Ava said as she saw the dark-haired woman from before lifting her eyes in the mirror from her own lips as she was adding more lipstick to meet Ava’s. “Well, hello,” she said, smirking slightly at Ava. Ava caught a glance of herself in the mirror and felt mortified when she realised, she looked just as dishevelled as she felt. “I guess James got what he wanted after all,” the woman then said.“Pardon?” Ava asked. Her mind was still not back to normal. Then she realised what this woman implied. “You think I had sex with James?” she said, sounding alarmed.“You didn’t?” “Of course not,” Ava said, making it sound like it was the most disgusting thing she could think of. “I mean, no. No, I didn’t. Why would you think that, Dr Walsh?”“Please, just call me Linda. What else am I supposed to think? James has been obsessing over you since he saw you and now you show up looking like that,” Linda said. Ava l

“You don’t get to tell me that. Not after what you said earlier. And when Zane does those things to me, at least he makes me come and makes the earth shake. From what I heard from the other nurses, they were lucky to start getting excited before it was over. Now move before I let Zane and Ryder do to you what they are itching to do,” Ava told him. James looked at her with rage. She was half expecting him to come at her. She felt Zane getting ready to make sure James didn’t see a new day. But luckily, James seemed to sense the same. He backed off, and Ava strolled past him without looking at him. She heard Zane’s quiet voice behind her as he passed James.“If you ever lay a finger on her again, I will show you just how much of a criminal I am,” she heard Zane say. A sharp intake of breath followed it. Ava felt Zane’s hand come to rest on her back as he guided her along. She heard James whimper a second time and was about to turn her head to figure out why, when Zane lowered his lips to

Zane watched the sleeping Ava. She looked every bit an angel as she lay naked in his arms with her hair billowing in all directions and a serene look on her face. He loved these moments when he could relax and let go of all the masks he wore and all the pretence. He was allowed to adore his angel without limitations. Zane tried not to indulge in moments like these too often. He found that for each time, the thought of letting her go was becoming more painful. But tonight, he needed it. He needed to know she was safe. Zane played with the thought of keeping her with him forever. He could keep her safe, he could make sure she had everything she ever wanted. But she deserved more. She deserved to be with someone she loved, to be happy. If he was less of a bastard, he would have let her go already. But he wanted to keep her, for just a little longer, he thought and eased a strand of her hair from her face. His phone on the nightstand buzzed and he looked down at Ava. She was still sound

Zane had a hard time believing Ava felt safe with him. From his point of view, he was the one who introduced danger into her life. She should be terrified around him, even if she wasn’t afraid of him as a person. “It’s because of my mother,” Zane told her. He froze, he hadn’t meant to say it. He didn’t talk about his mother, not even with Jax. This was the second time he had mentioned her to Ava.“Because of how she died?” Ava asked. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t poke at old wounds,” she then said. “It’s okay, angel,” he told her. He picked up her hand which was laying on his chest and kissed it. He found himself wanting to talk to her about his mother. “She was so different from everyone else in my life when I grew up. My mother was sweet and kind, and she would almost always laugh. She always had time for me and Jax when we were grooving up, and she would take us on picnics in the garden and treasure hunts,” he told Ava. Then he needed to pause as he was flooded by memorie

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
