Ava sat at her desk, she had gone through the last of the reports regarding the latest batch of potential new clients. She had selected three she thought had potential. The rest would get a kind refusal letter, telling them the firm had to mush on their plate to take them on as clients, but they could recommend the attached list of accountant firms. Gabriel’s and her business were blooming. They had stopped looking for new clients as they had their hands full with their existing ones and the ones who asked to join. There was ha knock on the door and Tom opened the door.
“We need to get going in ten minuets if you want to have time to get ready, Mrs A,” he told her.“Thank you, Tom. Could you make sure these three potential clients get wetted? I’ll just say bye to Gabriel and then we can go,” she told him. He nodded and took the folders from her. When Ava had started working from the office, Zane had insisted she needed a bodyguard. Since Tom’s injurie, his wife had become sZane had a hard time letting Ava go as she tried to get up from his lap. He was still blown away by her news. He was going to be a father. Zane and Ava would have a baby, a child. His male pride flared at the idea. His legacy would live on in the form of a little human that would be half him and half Ava. That was amazing. “Zane, you need to let me get up before the others get here,” Ava told him in a soft voice. His possessiveness flared, and he drew her closer instead of letting her go. He wanted to grunt ‘mine’ but thought that would be a little over the top, even for him. Zane reeled in his emotions and kissed her before letting her get up. He stood up with her and placed his arm around her. There was no chance he would let her out of his sight. She might think that he would be satisfied with only two weeks, but he would make sure that his angel and their child would be safe. And there was no place safer than inside their home with him close by. There was a knock on the doo
Ava was sitting in a chair next to Zane as he worked in his home office. It was familiar to her, like being thrown back to the time they had met. To keep busy, she had started crocheting a baby blanket. After a while she felt Zane’s eyes on her, she looked up and smiled at him. “You shouldn’t be sitting on that chair,” he told her. “What’s wrong with this chair? I love sitting on it when you work,” Ava said. “It’s not soft enough,” he grumbled. Ava laughed and placed her hand on his cheek. Her husband was a real softie. “You can’t wrap me in bubble wrap just because I’m pregnant. I’m healthy and strong and the baby is half you so you know it has steal in it’s DNA,” she told him. Zane chuckled and shook his head. “If she is half as stubborn as her mother, we are all in big trouble, he said.“She?” Ava asked. He shrugged.“It feels right calling her a she,” he said as he texted someone. A moment later, there was a knock on the door and one of the maids
Ava and Linda sat at the table talking. They were waiting on Zane and Jax that had got a last-minute call. Not the women minded. It gave them time to plan a strategy on how to get away on a girls’ day on the town without having a small army of men surrounding them. Just before Linda’s and Jax’s big blow up, the women and Gabriel had tried to have a relaxing day, shopping, going to a museum and having lunch. Each of their partner had sent a group of five men to protect them. It meant they ended up with fifteen burly, scary-looking men staring at anyone around them. It had been anything but a relaxing day. Being pregnant, Ava feared the amount of scary-looking men would go up, not down. But this time, they were prepared for the argument. Zane and Jax walked in and they both looked closed off. Ava knew the look well. Something was happening which Zane didn’t like, but he felt forced to do it. Linda looked at her and they made a silent agreement that it wasn’t the time to talk about a d
“Strip,” Zane told Ava and Ava mas more than happy to oblige. The soft knotted sweater she had on was the first thing she took off, pulling over her head to reveal her pink bra. It was made up by a broad lace band spanning over the breast and connecting to the under wires that went under her breasts. The design allowed skin to be visible from both the top and the bottom of her breasts. Ava heard a hum of approval from Zane. “Don’t stop,” he ordered.“Yes, sir,” she told him and turned her back to him as she unbuttoned the jeans and bent over to drag them down her legs. She was giving him the perfect view of her ass in the pink thong with a small frill around the waist. “Fuck,” Zane growled behind her, she looked back and saw him stripping out of his clothes at a speed that made the suit and shirt go flying everywhere. “Should I continue, sir?” she asked. “Fuck no, angel,” he told her and walked up to her. He vas naked and fully recovered from Avas blowjob. He stil
Ava nervously looked at herself in the full-length mirror. The white pantsuit she had on was beautiful. The neckline was plunging almost down to her belly button; the back was bare with two lace panels going down each side, and the pants war split down the front of each leg with a sheer layer of fabric showing. Making it look halfway between a pantsuit and a dress. She truly loved it. Her problem was trying to decide if it showed her slight baby bump, or if it looked like her normal curves. “I love this on you, easy access,” Caine told her as he walked up from behind, encircled her with his arms and stuck a hand underneath the front part. Ava smiled but tried to batt his hand away. “Can you tell I’m pregnant?” she asked. “No, angel. If it did, I wouldn’t have let you wear it. I still might not. There is a whole lot of skin showing,” he huffed. “Put your cave man back into storage, honey. You need me to look good for tonight,” she pointed out. “True. I just d
“Why the fuck have you asked for this meeting?” Zane asked the two men. It looked like he was ready to kill. “And don’t give me the same weak reason you gave the man you sent with your request.” The brothers glanced at each other and there seemed to be a silent conversation going between them.“We wanted to see if you were as strong as you have been,” the more serious brother said. Ava could see the muscle flex in Zane’s jaw as he bit down. “You thought I was weak? Thinking it would be a good idea to stroll in to my club, see if I was weak and then what? Try to take over?” he huffed. Both men shuffled a little in their chairs and Ava had to fight not to roll her eyes at them. They needed to grow a stronger back bone of bigger balls if they were to play in the same neighbourhood as her husband. “We intended no offence to you, Mr Velky. But there has been an organisation popping up lately that has been selling their wears on the outskirts of your territory in our city. N
“Gabriel?” Ava softly asked and drew him into a hug. “I haven’t met him, I promise,” her best friend sobbed. “It’s okay, I believe you.”“But he keeps asking me to meet, and he tells me things and I don’t know if they are true or not. But if they are, I think I should do something,” he then said. “What has he been telling you?” she asked.“He said that when we were together, he went on one of his trips and he felt so lonely, so he spent the evening drinking in the bar. There was a woman there, and she seduced him.” Gabriel paused to collect himself. “Let me guess, he had no choice and it was all her fault?” Ava said. She knew she should be softer and more mindful, but she was just so angry at Jonas and his constant bullshit. “That’s what he said.” Gabriel nodded.“Do you believe him?” Ava asked.“No,” he said in a whisper. “Good.”“But there is more. He said that she go pregnant and that’s why he acted like he did towards me, because
Ava wasn’t surprised when Zane decided to follow her when she left the office to check on Gabriel and Ryder. She knocked on the door to her former room. “What are you doing?” he asked.“It’s rude to just barge inside,” she told him. “Why are they in the guestroom?”“Gabriel and I had our talk there?” she said as she got a reply to come in. She was about to open the door when Zane leaned his hand on it and towered over it.“Why?”“Because unlike you, I don’t have an office here and some things I don’t want to use our bedroom to discuss and even though it’s rare someone is in the library, it happens. So the best solution is to use the guest room,” she explained. Zane looked dumbstruck for a moment. Then he bent down and kissed her.“An oversight on my part,” he told her and took his hand of the door.“What?” “Nothing, don’t keep them waiting, angel.”“I’m not the one who stopped me from opening the door,” she pointed out.“Now you are jus
