2024-10-29 19:42:56Zane 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

Ava sat in the backseat of the car and could barely keep her eyes open. Last night hadn’t given much room for sleep. But Ava wouldn’t have traded it for all the sleep in the world. The moments she and Zane had shared after he had taken care of James had been profound in a way Ava never had experienced, or thought she would get to share with someone. It felt like they had connected and forged a bond. Ava didn’t want to delude herself by thinking it was love. That was just her wishful thinking. But it was definitely a strong friendship.“Are you okay, Miss A?” Ryder asked from the front seat.“I’m fine, Ryder. Just a little tired,” she told him.“Did the boss keep you awake?” Carlos asked.“Carlos! You keep your mind on the road, mister,” Ava huffed. The two men laughed and looked back at her through the rearview mirror. “I would have suggested you sleep a little, but we will be there in two minutes,” Ryder then said.“I’ll be fine, but thank you.” Gabriel had

A week later and Ava still hadn’t talked to Zane about selling her house. Every time she was about to, she found a reason not to. She had been down to the kitchen to get lunch for her and Zane. Sometimes she liked to do it herself instead of letting one of the maids do it. As she walked back into Zane’s office with a tray, he looked up and gave her one of his half smiles.“Come here, angel. I have something we need to talk about,” he said, holding out his hand. Ava put the tray down and rounded the desk and let him pull her down onto his lap. “It sounds serious.”“It’s nothing bad. Do you remember the first night we met?” he asked.“It’s hard to forget,” Ava told him with a smile. “I guess you are right. Do you remember when we were talking in my office, you asked what it meant to be my pet, if you would have to sleep in a cage?” Ava laughed at the memory, she had been really worried over that.“I remember.”“I told you, you wouldn’t have to, but I also

Ava swallowed hard before trying to give him an innocent smile.“Nothing,” she said.“Nothing? They look like panties,” Zane told her, strolling towards the bed. Ava placed her phone on the nightstand.“They’re not really panties,” she tried to object as she watched him.“Are you lying to me, angel?”“No, I promise Zane, they really aren’t panties,” Ava told him. She knew she would be in worse trouble if she was caught in a lie.“Mhm. Show me how they’re not panties,” he told her. Ava felt her breathing pickup, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. She slowly turned to face Zane as he stood at the bottom corner of the bed. She looked at him and slowly spread her legs wide. Zane gave her a surprised look, and his focus shifted as his eyes wandered down over her body to her exposed pussy. Ava saw the hunger in his eyes and she felt her body respond like he had been running his hands all over it. “I see what you mean,” Zane said with a nod. “But I to

“Not one like that,” Ava answered, not taking her eyes off the black toy. “What kind of vibrator have you used?” Ava could hear the amusement in Zane’s voice as he bent down and licked around one of her nipples and then tugged on it with his teeth. She let out a moan and lost focus for a moment.“An egg,” she confessed.“Did you enjoy it?”“Yes,” she said, and felt herself blush. It was followed by a light chuckle from Zane. “Then you will love this,” he told her, and Ava heard a light buzzing sound as he turned the vibrator on. He put the tip against Ava’s skin, just below her bellybutton, and a shiver went through her as the soft vibrations travelled over her skin. “Just relax,” Zane told her and bent down and kissed her. He continued kissing her as he dragged the vibrator lower, down over her mound and onto her thighs, bypassing her pussy. One of Ava’s hands was holding on to Zane’s muscular shoulder to anchor her. The other one took a hold of his hand holdi

Having his angel sprawled out over him, naked and asleep, was one of the most relaxing things Zane knew. He was aware it was early in the afternoon, and he still had work to do. He had walked into the bedroom expecting a quick session in bed and then back to work. But the temptation to punish his angel had proven too big. He let his fingers travel up and down Ava’s spine. He enjoyed the feeling of the goosebumps he caused. Zane was also battling with his feelings about Ava looking for an apartment. She had told him she wasn’t planning to move there right away. But it still would be a symbol of the fact she wouldn’t be with him forever. Of course, he knew this. He was planning for it. But he still didn’t like it when he was forced to face it. It was impressive his angel had come to a point where she could let go of her past and start looking forward. But it also made him feel something which wasn’t enjoyable, a feeling he wasn’t used to. After analysing it for a while, Zane realised

Ava was soaking in the tub, as she always did before getting ready to go to the club with Zane. A relaxing bath set her in the right mood to spend the night with all the loud music and the crowd of people. She loved watching the city as dusk settled in over it and transformed it from a normal city to an amazing display of coloured lights. Her serene little bubble was punctured by Zane entering the bedroom. Ava didn’t need to see him to know it was Zane who had opened the door or that he was in a bad mood. The sound of the door hitting the armchair next to it with a loud thud was all she needed. No one else would dare open a door to his room without knocking or with so much force. And he knew she was in the tub relaxing; he would never have disturbed her if he wasn’t in enough of a bad mood for his irritation to make him forgetful. Ava wrapped herself in a towel and walked into the bedroom. Sure enough, Zane was walking back and forth, looking like a thundercloud. He looked up when h

Zane hated the thought of treating his angel like a pet. He hated it almost as much as he hated the idea of her being in the same room as that lunatic Johnson. But it was the only way. He had thought about using a girl from the brothels. But he hadn’t been lying when he had said Johnson probably would have spotted it. Then there was the fact the idea made his stomach turn. Just the notion of having another woman by his side, even if it was just acting, made him feel sick. He had noticed Ava tense up as well when he had mentioned it. He didn’t know if it was because she didn’t like to share his attention or if it was because she just didn’t like the idea of prostitutes. Either way, the idea was scrapped. He just had to keep Ava safe and remember to put in extra effort to hide his own feelings. If Johnson ever found out Zane actually cared for his angel, he would not hesitate to use it against him. They arrived at the club. It was later than they usually arrived because Zane and Jax d

Ava sat by Bain’s leg and tried to make herself invisible as she half listened to the conversation between Zane and Johnson. Johnson made her skin crawl and the two other men who were with him were not much better. Ava could feel Zane’s anger as an aura radiating from him. She appreciated it. She knew he was angry because she had to act like a pet and Johnson thought it gave him rights over her. Zane’s anger was like a reminder he wasn’t indifferent towards her and acted as a security blanket as she knew he would keep her safe. But he needed to calm down. Johnson would notice it, and Ava guessed he would use it. She leaned into him in a way she hoped looked like a pet who just felt insecure. Zane relaxed a little, and Ava relaxed with him.“Sure, I have no issue with that. So, you want to use the block at Roe and Park?” she heard Zane ask.“Yes,” Johnson answered.“For what?”“I would love to tell you, but even though we sit here all friendly, we are competitors. I’m

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
