AVA
I quietly sit my ass down and look around Asa's office, taking in the view of the city below. Asa pulls out a cigarette and lights it, his blue eyes finds mine and he looks so damn good.
" You want something?"
" Iced tea." I tell him. He nods and clicks the button on the intercom, it beeps.
" Bring iced tea to my office." He says into the intercom as he turns his view to the city, smoking like a dragon.
" How many clubs do you have?" I ask out of the blue. Asa looks at me from above his shoulders like I've gone crazy.
He looks away, the smoke of his cigarette crowd his view. " Don't ask questions, Ava. You don't need to know more than you've already known." He says. " It's better for everyone when you want to leave."
I sigh and nod, looking at my lap and playing with
AVA I open my eyes and I know it's morning. My drapes are all drawn closed but I can see the faint morning brightness. I touch Asa's side of the bed and it's empty. I turn around and he's gone. Why would I even think I would find him in bed the following morning. First he doesn't cuddle but he cuddled me at his apartment and it felt good. Plus, this is the family mansion and Nick might even barge in. The thought of Nick coming into my room to find Asa in bed with me naked and with sex hair is gonna be shitty and I am not ready for that anytime soon. As much as I don't want this to be a secret but I need to be ready to face Nick. I sit up and I'm still naked. I pull the duvet to my chest and wince at the pain in between my legs. My eyes glances around my room and my nightdress it's on my couch. I get out of my bed and put on my nightdress. There are pills on the nightstand. I sit on my bed and grab
AVA" How come you speak Italian?" I ask Asa, dragging down my skirt on his leather seat. I watch him handling the wheel with a new cigarette in between his lips. He turns to look at me on the passenger seat, eyes taking in my form as he smirks." You're so curious, aren't you?" He looks back at the road, spurring out his smoke." Well yeah. You spoke in that language in Florence. And your father, Nick, and you, communicated with it back at the mansion. Did you learn it or you guys are Italians?" He sighs and stays quiet for another minute." Our mom is Italian. And our father's mother is also Italian. So that's where we got the language from. Mom is full born, including my maternal grandmother." He answers and I nod." Where's she? Your mom?" I ask. Asa's jaw clenched as he stares intently at the road. He hates the topic and I'm hating mys
AVA" Ace. I just wanna talk. I came all the way here to see you." She approaches him. I'm not sure she noticed me at all. Cause all her focus is on the man I've come to like." Ramona, what the fuck are you doing here? How did you even get in?" Asa asks. He's yet to move from his spot. This is so awkward. Maybe I shouldn't be here? This isn't something I want to see." I missed you. I couldn't stay." And then she begins to sob." Fuck." Asa sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. He stares at Ramona as he grabs her arm and takes her down the hallway. To his bedroom obviously. I turn to look at Coen who's been drinking his scotch." If I were you, I would avoid Asa through out today. This is a bad timing. And don't try to ask him who the fuck is Ramona." Coen goes to the living room couch.
AVA Taking in several deep breaths, I walk back to the party. My eyes catch a glimpse of Asa as he enters a corner. I hate to think I've already forgotten why I'm here. Yeah, to seduce Carl Cunningham. And when he sees what he likes in me, we're gonna follow up with countless dinners and alone time till he feels comfortable around me to spill whatever information he has that can help the Xavier crime family move more mountains. That's the hardest part of this job. Dinner dates. I grab another champagne from a server's platter as he walks by. I scan the room, impatiently waiting for Carl Cunningham to seduce so that I can get the hell out of here. I take a sip and then chug it till the glass is emptied. Asa is fucking with my head. Even if this is not a thing, at least he shouldn't have to keep me in the dark. No matter how much he assured me his Ramona e
AVA" I'm quitting." The car is silent and Asa is yet to say anything to me. He taps his fingers on the steering wheel as he drives down the road with his infamous high speed." Quit? What do you mean quit?" He asks and turns to look at me. The car is dark but his bright blue eyes brightens." I can't, Ace."" Can't what?" He asks. God his voice is killing me and it's making me think about my decisions. Do I even want this? I know I want this. Freedom." This is too much for me. I get it, I'm not really a good person, and I've done so many shit, but seducing men and stealing informations from them is something I don't find comfortable. Lately, a lot people are dead because of me." This time Asa sighs. He removes one hand from the wheel and place it on my thighs." Don't say that. Don't say
AVA " I did. I marked her." My heartbeat hammers against my chest as my eyes meet with Asa. He just entered my room as he watches his brother and me. I am nervous, already sensing what's about to happen. This is a wrong way of telling his brother we are having sex. Nicholas isn't the type of man who overlooks things. He's fierst. And one thing I've come to understand, it's always a bad idea to piss him off. " What did you say, Ace." " I fucked her, what? And I marked her, and claimed her as mine. You don't get to have her anymore, Nick. She's mine." Goddamnit. I want to say something. Anything at all, but I'm speechless and scared they're gonna hurt each other. Nick is already angry as he turns to look at his brother. He takes slow strides and Asa doesn't look bothered. " You fucking touched what's mine?" " I wanted it." I manage to spit out.
ASA" Are you playing me, Ava?" It was a question that caused discomfort but I chose to ask anyway.Whatever this is that we're doing is messing with my head more than I bargain for. Why's she making me feel this way? Is a question I'm yet to answer. After Ramona, I never thought I would feel all these foreign feelings towards anyone again. And the very day I set my eyes on Ava, something happened. My heart beat for her and it's fucking scaring me.I find myself thinking about this woman more than I ever thought I would. What's this called? Love or what? Fuck, this can't be love. I've never thought I would fight my twin over a woman, but with Ava, you do some shit you never thought you would do. I won't be able to forget it if I find out I was just a game
ASA 'Happy birthday, Ace. We really need to talk.' Staring at the message on my phone and the picture I've been dreading to see, I lock the screen of my phone and toss it on my couch. Ava is still fast asleep and naked in my bed. The white duvet covers just her lower body, showing the beauty of her full titties. My pants is getting tighter and I want her again after the countless times we had sex the previous night. Just the sight of her breasts and I'm losing it. What has this woman turned me into? Ignoring the tightness in my pants and the now evident erection, I turn to look at my reflection on my full length mirror. I button the cuffs of my dress shirt as I take a little peek at Ava's naked body in my bed.
♥ EPILOGUE ♥ I slowly open my eyes and itch it. God I feel light and tired like I've been sleeping for two days. I look around Asa's bedroom and I'm surprised it's not Asa's bedroom. I look around my strange environment and I'm pretty sure this is not Asa's bedroom. The drapes are white and the decoration in this room is different from Asa's bedroom in his penthouse. Where's this place? I sit up slowly. Something feels strange. I look down at myself and I'm wearing a white lace bikinis. The bikini top is pure lace and my nipples are visible. Who put this on me? The last thing I remembered was that I was with Asa, we just got back from dinner with my aunt and Matt and we were in bed together. That's the last thing I remembered. And I wasn't wearing these beautiful white bikinis. I hear the sound of waves and cold breeze. Where am i?
•AVA• ♥TWO WEEKS LATER♥ It's my aunt's wedding day and I've never been happier. These past weeks have been a little rough but it's been good. I settled things with Asa and we're like an official couple now. We're dating, in a relationship, whatever you wanna call it. And my job's been good too. I visited the mansion with him two weeks ago and I had breakfast with the guys. Nicholas was pretty cool and I'm really grateful he's the reason we're back together. Nick and I are now on good terms except his father. I apologized about the heirloom I took and the man's heart is as cold as stone. He just nodded that day and dismissed me. I don't know what that means though, but at least it's something." I don't know what my son sees in you, maybe it's something worth keeping." He had said that day. I still don't know what that means. I stare at my
ASA" I love you Asa Xavier." She whispers into my mouth. At first I thought I didn't hear her say it. She literally just confessed she loved me. And hell if it doesn't feel good to hear it from her mouth. I stop kissing her as I look down at her. Fuck she's so beautiful. This past month without her by my side was hell. There is no passing day I didn't think about her. My thoughts were crowded with this woman. To think she'd hurt me still pisses me off." Did you mean that?" I ask her. She bites her lip and smiles up at me. God I missed seeing her doing this. Biting her lip with her beautiful big brown eyes. She stands on her toes and hoists her right thigh around my torso. I wrap her other thigh around my torso and pull her upwards so we're eye to eye. My hands are on her butt." I love you Asa. And I fucking mean it."" Say that shit again." I tell he
AVA Asa doesn't kiss back and I don't have time to complain cause he pulls away. I breathe in, our eyes are still locked with great intensity." Fuck." He mutters and exhales, looking around the suite. His eyes fall on Rio who's unconscious. He'll be awake very soon." I am sorry."" Why?"" Because I fucked up, and I take it back, and I'm really sorry." I tell him and bite my lip. Asa breathes out again and runs his fingers through his hair." Stop fucking doing that Ava."" I missed you and I was miserable without you. I want us to go back to what we were."" What were we? What the fuck were we? We were nothing, remember."" Don't say that." I plea." Don't say what? Don't tell you the truth? I can't do this with you right now." He says and pulls out his gun from his jacket pocket. He checks the bul
AVA'S POV Romeo is still in the backroom. I pull out my phone to drop a text for Asa, but I stop myself. If he's not willing to talk to me, maybe I should stop pestering him. Taking a sip from my vodka, I look around the area Nick went. He must have left the club because I can't find him." Do you mind?" A male voice asks. I turn to look at the stranger. He looks forty and well dressed. I nod, signaling to the barstool next to mine." What do you want?" I ask him. I'm not in the mood for any conversation, especially when my heart is hurting. This shit sucks." Straight to the point. They told me a lot about you and I doubted you don't take shit from no one."" They? What are you talking about?"" I have heard a lot about you. Such a unique talent inside one little woman. One glance and no one would notice you are a woman with such beautiful charm that can make any man fal
AVA" Ava?" He calls my name." You two know each other?" Matt asks. Even my aunt looks surprised." What the fuck are you doing here?" He smiles at me and drops the bottle of wine on the dining table. He sits down next to Matthews." You know each other?" Aunt asks." Yes." He says and looks at me. It's been a long time since we saw each other. Even before I left the mansion, we barely converse since he's not always around. How did he go from Rob to Jeremy? What the actual fuck is going on?" How did you two know each other?" Matthews asks. He looks at Jeremy and then me. I think he has a superpower for telling when someone is lying. Especially me." We uh... He's my friend. We've known each other for quite a long time now. How come I didn't know you two are related?"" Because you didn't ask." Rob says. After this dinner, I'm definitely stabbi
AVA"Ava." I inhale at the sound of his voice. One week without hearing this voice was hell for me. I can't even remember how I lived through the torments of each night. They were the worse nights of my life." Asa."" What do you want?" The harshness in his voice reminds me of how much I fucked up. How much I ruined the good times we had together. I'm pretty sure he hates me now. The corners of my eyes stings with tears and I'm gonna cry. I sob. " I'm sorry." I hear him sigh on the other end of the line. He's quiet and I'm guessing he's thinking if he should talk to me or ignore me like I deserve." Bye, Ava."" Ace please." He hangs up. Right before I can even say 'Ace please.' I scream and hurl my phone against the wall. I fall down on the floor next to my bed and sob. It's over. He's never wanting me back no matter how much I
AVA" I knew you were going to hurt me, but I didn't realize it was this soon."His words continue to ring in my head every passing day. The hurt in his eyes burnt deep cuts into my heart every time I closed my eyes. How did I fuck this one up again? I can't sleep at night. I just can't. The guilt is eating me up and I want to see him again. To apologize and pour out all the feelings I've been hiding, locking away. I feel like shit and I hate myself for hurting the one man who treated me like I'm the only girl in the world. Who made me feel like a queen even if I don't deserve it. Why did I do this? Maybe he's right, I'm no different from Ramona. It's been one week, one week since he told me he loved me. One week since he opened his heart and confessed how much he felt about me and how he wanted to keep me. To make me his. And all I did was stare at him. Because I don't deserve him. All I've done was hurt him and used him to satisf
ASAMan, fuck this shit. I pull out a cigarette from Nicholas's pack and light it. Taking in a long drag, I stare at the ceiling and spur out the smoke. This is hard. Falling in love is hard. It has always been hard and I hate myself for forgetting so soon. Nick sits back as he watches me with his shit eating grin. What did I get myself into?" What did she say?" Nick asks. I don't wanna talk to nobody. Thinking about the look on her face, I wanna punch something. Someone, anyone at all. I fall back on the couch and run my hands down my hair as I inhale the cancer stick. Why did I tell her I was in love with her? I couldn't help it. I guess it was time to finally tell her how much I feel towards her. That I was tired of pretending the sex we've been having is meaningless, when all this time it meant a lot to me. And the minute I opened my mouth to tell her I
