[Ava]Logan clenched his jaw tightly, rubbing his temples while avoiding my eyes"I'm talking to you," I said. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it back"It was nothing important, Ava, I just said what I said back then to have him back down.""And you expect me to believe that? Gabriel looked me in the eyes and said he would sort it out, and the next minute you were in his house saying things about having something in your cloud, and then he told me that we shouldn't have happened and started avoiding me, and you are saying it's nothing?"This specific incident has been over my head because no matter how much I twist or turn it around, it still doesn't make sense that Gabriel had to say that to me after Logan made that statement which I still don't understand"Ava, it's nothing important.""You don't want to tell me about it? Because I know you said something of such to him," I asked, and I watched as Logan dug his hand into his scalp, averting his eyes from me."I happen to have
[Gabriel]"Where are you?" My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the message before me. I rubbed my palm over my eyes, groaning hard as I felt a throbbing headache from how much I drank last night"Little doll sent me a message?" I mumbled under my breath, staring at the message over and over, a subtle smile hinting at my optimism, feeling a glimmer of hope wash over me. Was it a mistake? Did she intend to send it to someone else?My eyes widened as I noticed the time of the message."What the fuck, fifteen hours ago? Shit!!" My hand darted to her contact, and I quickly dialed her number as I made my way to the washroom. Why did I fucking drink so much? Did she look for me? Was she oh fuck, Gabriel!!I groaned as the third call went unanswered, I tossed my phone aside and stepped into the shower, to have the quickest bath of my life.I walked out of the shower, drying my body, I rushed to the wardrobe and picked up a black shirt and a black pant, slipping them on, I settled for my bl
[Ava]I was laughing so hard at what Ashley was saying. We were making a chocolate cake, I woke up with a sudden craving for it. Ashley came very early in the morning and couldn't stop apologizing that she left when I was asleep, I had to tell her over and over again that I was ok, the fact that she wanted to be here for me does not mean she had to abandon her own life, she even had to take a leave from work. I don't know what I did to deserve such a sweet soul"I know right, don't try to laugh it out, baby girl," Ashley continued making her silly naughty jokes"Have you seen my phone?" Ashley asked."You left it on the couch, hold on I'll grab it for you," I mouthed, she stared at me and smiled, I shook my head and walked out of the kitchen, my lips curving into a smile at how Ashley has been trying to rub it to my face that she knows that I'm missing Gabriel's cock, she's so raw and blunt gosh!! Walking into the sitting room, my legs immediately halted as I caught sight of someone
[Ava] "Can I give you a hug?" I asked, watching his eyes snap open. "Can you give me a hug? You shouldn't ask that, come here," Gabriel groaned and pulled me into his arms, my tiny hands wrapping around his torso. Fuck, I missed him I felt bad about the nervousness and skepticism in his eyes repeatedly, did I make him nervous? How can I possibly stop loving this man? How can it ever be over? Even when I said those words to him, I knew I was just fooling myself. For three years I couldn't get over the crush I had for him, how then can I let go when we've come this far, when I have grown to love him, getting addicted to him with each passing day I shut my eyes as I inhaled his strong cologne, allowing it to fill up my nostrils, this is where I felt peace, where my tiny hands belong, to wrap around this masculine body every day of my life. I slowly pulled out, trailing my eyes towards him, his gray orbs lit up a bit, but not as sparkling as they used to be, I locked my gaze in his, a
[Ava]It's been a week since my recovery, and I'll say it's been one of the best weeks of my life, everything feels good all over again, I can't believe that I'm now with the man of my dreams and not just that but also with the support of my brother Logan, even though his facial expression whenever he sees Gabriel and I together Is nothing to write home about, but I know he's genuinely happy for us, and I couldn't be more gratefulSpeaking of this past week being the best week of my life, Gabriel has been so sweet and super amazing, and we're not forgetting about the clingy part, excluding the fact that he has refused to touch me sexually. "You are not done yet!!" That's exactly what I was talking about, I just walked into this kitchen a few seconds ago to get waterI bit down on my lower lip as I felt Gabriel's masculine hand circle around my waist. I gulped down the cold water in my mouth, feeling the heat spread all over my body."Gabriel I just came to get water," I whispered, bu
[Gabriel]I grabbed her phone and stared at the caller ID, which displayed Ashley. I knew it was time for her to go and meet her friend, but I still wanted to spend more time with her.Clearing my throat, I passed her the phone, she took it from me, glanced at the caller, she chuckled trying to hold back a laugh as she picked up the call"Hi, girl!" Ava giggled, biting her lower lip, I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. My eyes moved down to her lower lip as she bit down on it, I felt my cock twitch, and my attention drifted from her words to the gentle curves of her lips as she moved them in sync, how I want to hold that lips and kiss it so bad, how I want to wrap that mouth around my cock and thrust my cock deep into her throat."Fuck, Gabriel, get a hold of yourself, she's still recovering!!" I groaned, sinking my hand into my scalp. The doctor specifically made it clear on her last appointment that she was indeed recovering well, but he recommended that she scale back fr
[Ava]"Wait, what? What are you talking about?" Gabriel asked, his eyes widening as he still held the brief in his hand trying to cover his hard cock. What the hell is wrong with him? Am I no longer allowed to look at his naked form again?"You're asking what's wrong like you don't know?" I scoffed, my eyes fixed on his gray orbs. I could see the lust and desire in his eyes, or maybe I was seeing wrong"It's been a week, Gabriel, am I no longer attractive to you or what? You don't even kiss me on the lips anymore, you are either kissing my cheeks or my forehead, is my body no longer appealing to you because I don't understand why the fuck we would be together and you haven't touched me," I bit down on my lower lip as I blurted out the words, watching Gabriel's eyes widen.He narrowed his eyes, his brow creasing together. He held my gaze and took a step back, he slipped into his briefs, I caught a glimpse of his hard cock before he covered it up and I almost moaned out at how hard his
[Ava]"Spread your legs wide and let Daddy make you feel good!!" Gabriel groaned, his hand folded across his chest, and his intense eyes bore into mine, sending shivers down my spine. I slowly lifted my gown reaching for the waistband of my pantie and pulled it out"Wider baby, I want to see your pink folds from here!" Gabriel groaned out, his voice low and huskyI spread out my legs wider, watching as his eyes moved from my eyes back to my pussy, he bit down on his lower lip, my eyes trailed to his pants, and I could see how the poor cock was practically begging to be freed"Rub your index finger on your clit slowly, and keep your eyes on me!!" Gabriel commanded, making a shiver run down my spine, a low moan escaped my throat. I placed my finger on my clit, slowly rubbing it the way he wanted with my eyes fixed on him. I could see how he was gulping down hard and tilting his head from side to side."A little harder, and don't take your eyes off me!!" Gabriel grunted out his words, mo
[Gabriel]"How did you know I had the video? I never mentioned it to you." I asked Ashley, and she cleared her throat."Logan told me you had the video for over five years and one of your fears was Ava finding out about it, but he didn't tell me past that, he said he wasn't in a position to tell me what happened, but he said you didn't do it," Ashley said, and I noddedA small smirk curved on my lips as I rubbed my temples"Up until now, I still give it to whoever was behind that murder, and I'm sure it wasn't their first kill because De Achors guest house belonged to a very good friend of mine, and it's where I spend the majority of my time when I don't want to be home, and when I say the security is top-notch, it's one of the best." My hand clamped around my glass as I took another sip, shutting my eyes for a moment."We took her to the hospital to ensure it was confirmed by the medical personnel, and she was eventually confirmed dead. I contacted my friend and told him about it, ur
[Gabriel]"What's up, dude!" I walked into the warehouse, watching Jaxon with his hand crossed over his chest, with a few underlings busy packing and unpacking some goods."You are here!" Jaxon said to me walking over to me."Is everything okay? You sounded like something was wrong.""Because something might go wrong if we don't act quickly to stop them!" Jaxon said, making my brows crease even more."You should see this!" He walked over to the inner room inside the warehouse, while I walked behind him, my eyes darting around the crates being packed.I walked into the room, plopping down on the leather seat near Jaxon, with my eyes fixed on the computers and laptops. I watched as Jaxon's fingers danced across the keyboard before he zoomed in on a specific video motioning for me to look.I stared at the video, watching as about ten men surrounded our warehouse, and from what I could tell, they looked like FBI agents."I'm guessing that fucker gave them some information!" Jaxon said as
[Gabriel]"Momma, are you okay?" I asked Remi, I could hear her heavy breathing over the phone."I'm...I am fine, no, I am not, oh God, please can I see you, I mean, where are you?" Remi asked making my brow crease even more"I'm heading to my guest house, I will send you the address, are you sure you are okay?" I asked, knitting my brows together."Yes, I'll be waiting!!" Remi said and immediately ended the call. StrangeI swiped over to my message and immediately sent her the address of the guest house where I lodged as well as the suit number. I revved my engine to life and drove off, ignoring the thought of who I wanted to call earlier.I drove right into the parking lot of the guest house, turned off the engine, and made my way inside, greeting the few staff who were present at the reception. Digging my fingers into my scalp, I marched to the elevator and headed to my suit on the top floor of the guesthouse.I walked right into my suit, slid off my clothes, and headed to the show
[Gabriel]"If you don't mind, I would like to know what exactly happened. We are alone here, so I'm hoping you will be honest with me." Ashley said staring at me, I shut my eyes for a moment, my hand drumming on the counter as the memory of that day five years ago flashed before my eyes."I met her at a Mall at first," I said, and Ashley drew her stool closer to mine. I reached for the next shot that the bartender had dropped and gulped the entire content, gritting my teeth as the hot liquid melted through my throat."There is this particular Mall I always visited and I always noticed this pretty girl staring at me strangely. She was about about eighteen at the time," I rubbed my temples, recalling the exact day I caught sight of her."So on a faithful evening, she walked up to me and tried to talk to me. I was in a terrible mood, so I ignored her, but a few days later, I met her again, she stuck a piece of paper in my hand and ran away, I read the things she wrote, she was expressin
[Gabriel] I watched as the warmth in her gaze dissolved giving way to a frightened expression that seemed to whisper a thousand unspoken terrors. My heart ached as I watched the look of terror in her eyes. I couldn't take it any longer, the fear in her eyes, the way her body trembled like a watered leaf, and how the first look in her eyes when I walked all vanished, replaced by hatred. My fist clenched into a ball as I turned on my heels and made my way out, halting in front of Caleb, I looked up at him, and he furrowed his brow. I could see a look of amusement dancing in the idiots' eyes. My hand ached so much to pin him to this wall and unleash all of my fury, but I bottled it up and moved much closer to him. "Make sure to keep your hands to yourself, if you try anything funny, you will not last another hour on this planet!" I snapped at him, his lips stretching into a smirk that he quickly concealed before walking out on me I wanted to go back there, grab her, and walk out
[Ava]Caleb had asked me to eat something for the third time, but I refused, eating was the least of my concerns right now. I had turned on my phone earlier for no stupid reason, I should be hating myself so much right now that I am concerned about a man who murdered my best friend. Why do I have to turn on my phone to stare at his picture? And then Ashley's call came in. I didn't want to talk to her because I was still upset about what she said at the studio, so I asked Caleb to pick up and tell her I didn't want to speak to anyone"Thank you!" I muttered to Caleb as he handed me back my phone. I took the phone from his grasp and switched it off, putting it aside."Sunshine!!" Caleb called out, taking a seat next to mine where I was seated in the dining room. I stared up at him. I had been crying for hours nonstop since we stepped into his house, and Caleb had been trying to ask what the problem was, but how could I say a word to him?"I don't like the way you are, it's breaking my h
[Gabriel]"Where the fuck is Ava? Put my woman on the phone right now if you don't want me to burn you alive! What the fuck are you doing with her damn phone?" I snapped, and I heard a slight chuckle on his end. Was my mind playing tricks on me?"She's in my house and like I said before, she's not in a good state to take calls right now," the idiot repeated."What the fuck do you mean by that?" I cursed loudly, and within seconds the phone beeped and immediately went dead on his end.I groaned, raking my hand on my hair as I handed the phone back to AshleyI marched towards my car ignoring Ashley who was asking me what was wrong, I stepped into the car and Ashley ran over to the passenger seat, sliding in"Gabriel, what's wrong? Who picked up her call?" Ashley gripped my hand, her finger digging into my skin as she quivered slightlyI ignored her, dialing Jaxon's number, I'll fucking skin that dude alive. I groaned pressing the phone to my ear and on the first ring Jaxon picked up"B
[Gabriel] I was pacing back and forth in Logan's sitting room, it was 9 p.m., and Ashley had called me making me drive as fast as I could over here when she said she had not heard from Ava, and if I said I was not on the verge of losing my mind, then I must be lying. Where has she gone? Ashley said she left her at the studio during break hour and she had not heard from her since then. I paused on my track, turning to Ashley, who was seated beside Logan, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You didn't hear her mention going anywhere at all? Is there anywhere you think she might be? Or a place she normally goes?" I asked Ashley, and she shook her head. "She angrily left when I tried to talk to her, I could have just stayed by her side, I shouldn't have said what I said, this is my fault!" Ashley said, bursting into tears "Nothing is your fault here, will you stop blaming yourself?" Logan scolded Ashley, pulling her closer to his body. I dug my fingers into my scalp, staring at
[Ava]We got out of the car, and every breath I took felt like a suffocating weight crushing my lungs as we walked slowly into the cemetery. I knew my way around because I always visited her.We walked slowly, and I tilted my neck to look at Caleb, who was holding the cake box while I held the bouquet. As we got closer to Remi's grave, I noticed Caleb's forehead creasing into a big frownTime seemed to warp and distort, stretching out seconds into agonizing minutes as we got closer. We paused in our tracks as we stood before her grave. My heart skipped a thousand beats as my eyes wandered up to her name elegantly etched into the granite headstone.The entire environment spun around me like a carnival ride, making me disoriented and dizzy. I felt as if my entire being was leaving my body as pain and guilt coursed through my body"Are you okay?" Caleb's voice almost made me jump, jolting me out of my reverie. I stared up at him, seeing that he had placed down the cupcake he had in his
