Anderson was amazed that they were having this discussion. This was what he was waiting for and it seemed to have come earlier than he presumed. “I just want to give you the time to sort out your emotions,” he said honestly. After all, he promised to return her untouched to Trent if she doesn’t fall in love with him within two months. Avery was happy that he hadn’t gotten over her. She expected him to make the move but he didn’t, just holding her in his arms.“But my emotions are clear. I showed you the signs,” she tried to convince him but Anderson still had his reservations.“No love, it’s not done that way. Your heart is divided and every man is possessive of their women. I can’t make love to you when you are thinking of another man,” he said forthrightly. Avery hid her head in his chest in embarrassment. He made it seem as if she was cheating on him.Suddenly, she recalled something and looked him in the eyes. “But what about before? You wanted to but I was the one creating excu
For a man as disciplined as Anderson who had starved himself of sexual pleasures all his life, he was like a ravenous wolf, leaving hickeys everywhere his lips touched.He sucked her soft delicate skin as if he wanted to eat her. Avery didn’t try to hold back her moan, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him closer. Her slender arms on his skin aroused every sensuality he had controlled all this while living with her.When his lips left her neck, they settled on her nipple while hands cupped her medium breast, massaging it slowly.His fingers glided down her thigh, gently brushing it for access and she opened it to welcome him. His fingers flickered her clits, she whimpered at the sensation while his tongue moved to seal her entrance. Ohh, Avery was a mess. The pleasure was too much and she couldn’t understand the strange fire built up in her, making her body vibrate from the splendors bubbling through it all at once.Her breath was heavy and she couldn’t hold it when her first
Anderson felt like he was seeing a whole new person. Avery was bubbling and glowing. She was wearing a white towel robe, her hair held in a messy bun, her smile was like heaven, and he wondered how she was able to wake up so early.Oh, the massage worked so she felt more relaxed and energetic. He was still in a daze when Avery brought the food on a tray toward him. “Eat up and get ready or we’ll be late to work.”Where from the bossy attitude? Well, it was sexy. Anderson glanced at the oatmeal with sweet berries on the tray and his stomach rumbled. He wanted to wake up earlier to surprise her but who knew that she was rather going to make up the surprise? “You asked Nancy to make oatmeal?”Avery chuckled. She wasn't so much of a princess in her parents' home. They had no maids so she knew how to do everything. “No, I made it myself. It’s healthy and will give you more energy,” her cheeks pinked out at the last part, as Anderson gazed at her with admiration.Seeing how surprised Anders
Trent’s eyes squinted and his heart was pierced when he caught sight of a hickey on Avery’s neck. Her hair had covered a large amount but he still caught it due to the position he stood. Her bubbly look from earlier had turned sour upon seeing him and his heart ached even more.“Avery,” Trent said painfully. Anderson wanted to pull her away but didn’t want to do anything for Trent to look pitiful in her eyes. Therefore, he restricted himself from intervening, watching them keenly. Avery felt guilty. She had let him down by doing the very things she promised him she wouldn’t do and couldn’t face him. She knew she had to tell him to move on but at the moment, she lacked the courage upon seeing so much pain in his eyes. “Trent, I’m late,” she said and began to walk away. Trent wanted to stop her but seeing Anderson there, he knew it would be useless. Avery had changed and Trent wanted to know why. Perhaps she was just afraid of Anderson or he might have forced those kisses on her like
Trent removed his hand slowly from Avery's mouth and when he got the assurance that she wasn’t going to scream, he led her to one of the empty offices. Unfortunately, Scarlet was going to ease herself after dropping the files on her table, stopped, and hid a few meters away.Seeing Avery entering an empty office with another male staff member, she got the right weapon to make the CEO know that his wife wasn’t as pure as he thought, instantly putting a call through to the front desk.Anderson was in the middle of an important meeting when the intercom rang. He excused himself and answered it. “Sir, Scarlet wants to speak with you. She said it’s very important,” the receptionist said.Anderson guessed it was related to what she was working on and said, “okay.”“Mr. Crown, I saw your wife and Mr. Baker entering one of the empty offices,” a tired but eager soft voice rang from the end of the line. She knew that from today, the CEO was going to give her special attention or even increase
Old pals knew each other better than anyone else. Did Anderson want to fight with him? Trent could think of the worst and the fact that he was no longer a match for Anderson made matters worse and he feared.“Are you going to beat me because I had a chat with Avery?” Trent stood up from his swivel chair and asked sinisterly. It would be good if Anderson got violent. Avery would know the kind of man she was married to because Trent would make sure to show her proof.Fortunately, Anderson’s intentions were far from that. He wasn’t going to do anything that would put Trent in a despicable position.“I have more important things to do than that so why waste it on whacking you? What is there to gain?” Anderson frowned and asked, not bothering to sit. His statement sent confusion to Trent’s mind.He was crestfallen. It wasn’t just Avery but Anderson had also changed. This wasn't his usual style. “So why did you lock the door?” Trent asked curiously.“That’s because issues about my marriage
Trent grinned mischievously. It seemed that he got Anderson in a hub this time. “You just said that you love Avery but look at how worked up you are at the mention of Bernice. Mr. Crown, I think you should recheck your emotions.”Anderson smiled. If Trent couldn’t tell anyone anything about Bernice, then indeed, she died. Whatever happened between them might not have been pleasant at all. Anderson was still curious to know but when he realized that Trent was just testing his pulse, he swallowed his anger and said provokingly, “Don’t be so confident. Just wait till Avery gets pregnant. That would be the true meaning of revenge.”Trent stiffened, imagining Avery with a bump for Anderson. He instantly recalled Bernice and his emotions began to assault him. No, he couldn’t let anyone know about Bernice. It wasn’t easy to forget everything about her. Anderson used the right weapon. It was because Bernice got pregnant before her disappearance. Trent could hear so many voices in his mind.
Joyce has always maintained a bright smile despite whatever she went through. Avery has enjoyed all of her but never knew her hard times because Joyce saw her as a kid sister, always trying to make her happy. Now that Avery had a man who adored her, Joyce didn’t mind spilling it out.“I tried it before with Taylor. He undressed me but didn’t continue the last part. When I pushed him for reasons, he said that I looked better dressed than naked.”“Meaning what?” Avery was lost for words and felt embarrassed for Joyce. Interestingly, Joyce didn’t hide the bitterness sweeping through her heart and continued,“Recalling his words. I’m a very wonderful and interesting person to be with but he doesn’t feel sexually attracted to me. His sister told me before that he was still obsessed with his ex and I tried to be the best I could. He could love me from all angles but all I got with matters involving intimacy was an embarrassment.”Seeing Avery’s aghast expression, Joyce forced a smile. She l
