Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Thirty Six
AvaI'm standing in front of what can only be described as a palace. Seriously their Malaga hotel is more than that. It's like something out of a movie. The car and a different driver this time, is driving us down a tree lined gravel drive. It seems have been at least five minutes since we came through the massive iron wrought gates, with a large G on both gates. Obviously the Garcia emblem. I can see a large stone building with a centre section that is rounded with arched windows at the bottom and middle sectors. To the top are square paneled windows and on each end of the building are two large square additions, with turrets. I realize I am not breathing as it is breathtaking.Directly in front of the hotel are sculpted water ponds and small mazes. It is magical. "Ava." I hear Sebastian's voice say and shakes me from my almost trance like state. "It's gorgeous Sebastian." He smiles and winks. Wow that wink it does funny things to my insides. I can feel butterflies again. This man
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Thirty Seven
SebastianMy meetings are taking up most of my time and I am wondering what Ava is up to. I am mentally distracted when I know I should be focused on what is going on in front of me. As soon as I heard the water issues are resolved, that we will still open on time with the infinity pools working too, well of course I switched off.This is not normal for me. Not normal at all but Ava, she distracts me every second of the day since I have first set eyes on her. I must have a word with myself and my heart because right now it is feeling all sorts of things that even I find difficult to understand. How can one woman come suddenly into my life and turn it so upside down? How can I the man with the guarded heart for over ten years, now be having such strong feelings for a woman I have just met? It is a wonder to me and Ava is let's face it an absolute wonder. Enzo is talking, I glance at him whilst idly playing with the Mont Blanc pen in my right hand. "So we are all systems go, Sebastian.
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Thirty Eight
AvaDo I mind that Sebastian has taken it upon himself that we will stay the night here in Malaga and made reservations? Of course I don't. I couldn't think of anything better right now. And to think my first impression of this man was that he was conceited, arrogant and a grumpy piece of work. How wrong could I have been? He has been nothing but attentive, caring and generous. I have not even thought of Mark since the flight here. I have been busy all day with sightseeing in Malaga, it has been heaven.I visited the spa and had a hot stones treatment and massage. It was divine and just what I needed. My guide I am assuming went and had a coffee during the hour I was being pampered. The photos I have taken of the sea, people milling around, drinking coffee, shopping and the children as they ran through the streets will be amazing when I upload them. I already have more than enough pictures to create a book. It is something I have been thinking of doing for quite a while. Zoe is the on
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Thirty Nine
AvaThe salty smell of the sea intoxicates my senses mixed with the cinnamon and lemon of Sebastian's fragrance. We have strolled along the water front, our hands firmly clasped in each other's. He tells me about his childhood how happy he was growing up and even though he never had siblings, Sebastian was surrounded by many cousins. They would spend long and lazy Sunday's at the houses of his many aunts and uncles or they would come to visit their residence. The children were allowed to play to their hearts content. It sounds like it was an idyllic childhood surrounded by love and happiness. It shows on his face when he talks, I can still catch his smile even thought the sun has now gone down, the moon lights his face up. I shared with him stories of my childhood, my friends and family our close knit town. My desire to be a photographer all my life and how my parents supported me in everything I did from ballet classes, piano lessons to finally settling on the path I have now chosen
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Forty
SebastianI have spent the last six days when I could with Ava and it has been magical. After my long days at the various hotels, we have had romantic meals, strolls through the old towns holding hands and enjoying each other's company. Only I know in four more days she will be deciding to go back home or to another destination. She hasn't committed yet and I don't want to pry too much. I have no hold over her and I know I shouldn't even have been trying to get her to want to stay with me. Only I already know I am going to feel lost without her. At night we have been passionate and she has brought out a side of me that I didn't really know existed. I love it when she is open and ready for me and commands me to thrust myself deep inside her. She is sexy, beautiful and a woman driven by insane lust as am I driven by her insatiable need for me. Ava has told me she has never been like this with any other man before and I believe her.I'm not going to lie I am a little jealous of the time
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Forty One
Ava I am so happy, I am ecstatic. We have had the best few days together and I know that my heart is finally lending itself to possibly being in love again. Trust me I have been fighting this all the way, I have tried to keep myself in check and not allow my emotions to run wild. After all, I had promised myself not to do anything stupid like have feelings for Sebastian. Once bitten, twice shy and all of that. Only it's nigh on impossible. I just cannot get my head to rule my heart. Part of me is also scared that I may never feel this again and isn't it better to feel elation like this than never feel it at all? I'm not allowing myself to think beyond today every step of the way because our time together will be all too short as it is. Of course I have been fantasizing that we'll have this wonderful relationship where I fly over to see Sebastian on a regular basis or he comes to the US. I know he has hotels there and he did mention that they are looking at land in Texas and in Califo
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Forty Two
Ava My mind is in turmoil as I continue to stare, my head says run, pack your stuff and get out. After Mark and finding out about Charlotte I feel stupid that I went full throttle and laid all my emotion and trust into Sebastian. How silly am I? I turn but not before seeing Sebastian move away from the woman, in doing so he raises and turns his head in my direction. Does he have a sixth sense? Only I am standing behind one of the marble pillars a bit like a stalker. He releases the girls hand as he says something to her. I watch as the woman turns in my direction. She smiles. Bitch! I'm not hanging around for this, he kissed her or rather she kissed him but I didn't see him pull away, I didn't see him try to stop her from leaning in and allowing her lips to touch his. That's it I am never going to release my heart to any man again. I knew this was too good to be true. Something that felt so damn perfect had to have a flaw. The tears begin to well up in my eyes then start to slide dow
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Forty Three
Sebastian I watch her leaving, my heart lurches and feels like it has fallen to the floor. Ava won't even allow me to explain myself to her. It's not as if I am having an affair or seeing another woman. I simply would not do that. Not. Ever. It's not the kind of man that I am. My heart is for Ava and for her alone. The tears are in my eyes, I'm not a crying man but this physical pain as I see her run out of the door from our suite is killing me. I call after her again only to hear the door slam closed. There is only one place I think she will go. The airport. Damn it, why did Marissa have to turn up and why like that? It was unexpected, ordinarily the woman would contact me. This is out of order and I haven't had a chance to speak to Ava about any of this. I should have done. I should have mentioned something at the beginning. Why did I keep this a secret from her? When I knew then that my heart was being stolen by my beautiful American Girl. I feel like kicking myself. I have to ge

Ava - Six Months Later I'm standing in a beautiful large suite with a terrace on which sit two white iron chairs and a round table. The view is across olive groves and lavender-dusted hillsides to the majestic mountains where last night I watched the most spectacular sunset as I gazed over the scenic Sierra Morena. I sat here serenely by myself thinking this is the best decision I have ever made. My insides are all a flutter with butterflies, my heart feels like it will explode with happiness and I have had a perma-smile for the last few months. Life couldn't have been more beautiful nor moved as quickly as it has. In just these few months I have moved lock, stock and barrel to live with Sebastian in his ranch just outside of Santa Fe. Nestled in a wondrous spot just outside of the town where he was born. It is a sprawling plot of land where horses can roam freely. We have goats, sheep and a couple of cows. Bella loves tending to them and recently Sebastian bought her geese and duck
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Seventy Seven
Sebastian “Hello my beautiful, American Girl.” Her face is a picture as her jaw looks like it has dropped to the ground. Her beautiful green eyes wide and now she is running toward me. Ava’s arms open wide and she throws herself into me. “Oh my God, how on earth did you do this?” I knew she’d be surprised and happy. It is the least I could do to fly the ten hours back to meet her for our return to Spain. I didn’t want my girl to have to travel to her new home all on her own. Not at all. This experience we should share together, like so many more experiences we will have in our lifetime together. This woman is precious to me, I worship the ground that she walks on, I love everything about her from the mole just above her lip to the hair on her head. Talking of which smells like coconut and lemons as she presses her head into my shoulder. My arms are already around her and I hold her into me tightly. It feels like we have been separated for months not just days. It’s felt like an eter

TateWell that all went too quickly and now I have mascara smudged all over my eyes from crying so much after dinner which mom managed to make in record time. She’s already talking about Thanksgiving. I’m definitely coming home for that and Sebastian can put an army of bodyguards on me if he needs to. Although I am sure by the time November comes round, Mark will have moved on. Hopefully.Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of the year. We all get together and my mother’s sister and husband come over with their now grown-up children, Louisa and Denise. It’s always a really warm and fuzzy time of year. Zoe comes too but later as she always holds a Thanksgiving dinner for her special clients who don’t have anyone at the time of year. She’s so kind hearted and has never missed a Thanksgiving for them. This year she will have Nate to help her and that makes me feel warm inside. The thought of someone standing by her side.I hugged my parents like there was no tomorrow and Zoe be

Tate I’m still in a sulk. I should be excited beyond belief to be flying back to Spain to see and be with Sebastian again this evening. It’ll be the early of the hours of course since they won’t be ready for me until seven tonight. Right when I should be going out with Zoe and Nate for dinner. I then have a wild idea of having them come with me to Spain and being flown back in a week’s time. Only that is a pipeline dream since Zoe has her business to run and Nate has patients to see. Mom has been frantic all day at the thought of me flying out later this evening. She’s overwhelmed to say the least and I get that, I really do. Dad hasn’t taken it all too well either and shot off to the golf course to hit balls on the driving range. It’s now eleven and I am still in my bloody pjs. What I need is to shower and get my shit together and head over to the apartment to pack a few things into my larger suitcases. You know like personal belongings I want before my stuff arrives, clothes, shoes
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Seventy Four
TateI tried to ignore the message as best I could. Dillon left us around eight last night and Liam came to take over. He wasn’t the same build as Dillon by any stretch. In fact as I looked out of my bedroom window down to the front porch as he arrived, I’d easily say he could pass as a doppelganger for David Beckham. Victoria is a lucky lady, well not as lucky as me because I have Sebastian and he is in a league of his own. But nonetheless.Naturally, I went down to greet Liam. He is from Texas and has that lovely drawl thing going on. I showed him the latest message from my ex. “Don’t worry ma’am. We’ve got this. Ain’t nothing gonna happen to you, with me on watch. If he’s dumb enough to show up around here, he’s gonna have to answer t’me.”I felt reassured but I’m still freaked out this is even happening to me. Why can’t Mark just take it on the chin that we’re over? He is the one that ended our relationship. Or perhaps he can’t handle rejection. Maybe there is more to the split be

Ava “Honey it’s so good to see you. It feels like you’ve been away for weeks and it’s only been a couple of days.” My mother rushes to me as I enter the cosy kitchen. As usual she is cooking and wearing her blue apron with her tied up in a messy bun. She looks so inviting and I allow her to take me into her arms and press me right into her bosom. I’ve missed my mom so much. She is right though, it does feel as if it’s been weeks not just a couple of days. So much has happened what with bumping into Mark, his threatening/nuisance messages, Arabella practically rejecting me and having a blinking bodyguard now of all things. Who, by the way I have left standing outside for the time being. Best not to overwhelm my mother in the first few seconds of arriving back home. “I know. It feels like it’s been ages too.” I say as I place my portfolio on the two-seater sofa in the inglenook in the kitchen and slip my rucksack off my shoulders and place it on the sofa too. It’s looking a bit jaded
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Seventy Two
SebastianMy blood is boiling to the point I am so fired up I could punch a wall. It is not often I lose control like this but that man, he needs to be dealt with before anything happens. I know of men who have hurt their ex partners, stalked them and harmed them. It is an insane world and I am frightened for Ava.At least with my detail providing security for her, the man would need a shotgun to get past her bodyguard. You would think it would help to allow me to sleep better tonight, only it doesn’t. I need to have Ava here with me in Spain, like yesterday. Not in three weeks. Besides, I am craving her. I am craving her lips crushed against mine, our bodies together and her warmth underneath me.Even with all these thoughts of my American Girl I do not become aroused, my anger is so fueled that sex is the last thing on my mind. I will be viewing the ranch and meet with the current owner later this morning. Elena, my assistant has done well to narrow it down to just three ranches for
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter Seventy One
Ava I stare at my mobile as the rage and anger fuels my entire body. This man, he just won’t let up. I swear if he was standing in front of me now, I’d easily punch him in the face. I’m not even sure whether to be concerned or just laugh this off. Only he is making me a bit shaky with the tone of his message. Moving away from the patio I step back inside the penthouse suite and read the message again. You had no right to run out on me like that the other day. I only wanted to talk and express how I felt. You’re not going to get away from me, Ava. I’m still in love with you. So, I fucked up. I realize that. But if you think I’m letting you get away you need to think again. I’ve seen all your social media posts with that man and he’s not right for you. I’m going to do everything I can to show you that he is wrong for you. I am the one that is meant to be with you forever happy after Not that jumped up son-of-a-bitch. I know where you’re staying here in NYC and I’ll be waiting. I mean
Santa Fe Billionaire Chapter 70
Ava “Honey, of course it’s worth fighting for. Honestly, what is wrong with you? Just because his daughter doesn’t like the idea it certainly doesn’t mean she won’t change her mind. You’ve got to see it from her point of view, Ava.” I’m outside on the wrap around balcony to the penthouse back in the Waldorf Astoria gazing up at the sky as Zoe talks to me. Of course everything she’s saying is absolutely right. It still doesn’t make it any better for me though. “My heart absolutely goes out to her, Zoe. It really does. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to lose your mother. I’d fall apart if my mom died or my father, it’s gut wrenching. And I know the last thing she wants is someone new into their lives.” “Look take a deep breath, I know you’re gutted that you can’t move in with him, but damn girl. You’ll be living on his doorstep literally. A villa on the land sounds amazing. Sebastian will see you every day, you’ll spend nights together and get to know his little girl an
