The kiss was hot, rough and very demanding. Avery told himself to slow down but he just couldn’t. she was intoxicating. Just like a glass of alcohol that he was forced to abstain from and damn he did like this taste of alcohol. Zoe met his need with reckless abandon as they continued to kiss.She turned him against the wall and had his buttons opened in split seconds while he kissed her neck and ears. Her hands trailed down his chest and arms and he groaned in pleasure. She was doing things to him, making him feel things that he wasn’t sure he was capable of feeling.He turned and had her back against the wall again, kissing her lips and her face, wondering why one should taste this delicious. His hands flew to her top and he helped her out of it. He unhooked her bra and she wiggled out of it, letting it fall to the ground on their own free will. Then he kissed her neck, the hollow on her throat and when his lips bent to take a nipple in his mouth, she moaned, throwing her heads back.
“How did that happen?” Avery asked, his eyes on Jacob. “How the hell did that happen?”“Calm down, Avery.” Jacob replied, taking out his cell phone. “I will make a call and see what is up.” He left the room, leaving Avery and Aaron looking at each other.“How did you find out about that?” Avery asked.“The pilot called the company.” Aaron answered. “Apparently, our staff in the jet are fine. The men only wanted the girls.”Avery shook his head, taking the remote and turning on the television in his office. This wasn’t happening. His company had done a lot to have Big bang as clients, now it was about to be ruined.“I thought the girls had security.” Avery said, leaving his table to walk closer to the television when the news was displayed on the screen. “Were they not supposed to have bodyguards?”“The bodyguards were not on the jet.” Aaron replied.” I don’t know why, but they were not.”Avery continued to look at the screen and not only was the faces of the girls displayed on the scr
“A drink?” Avery asked her and she nodded her head while her mind screamed at her for asking such a ridiculous thing.“Yes, Avery. A drink. A real drink.”He looked at her with uncertainty and she smiled. He wasn’t the only person who wanted to forget today. She wanted to forget it too, especially this morning. She had worked like a maniac, almost turning the house upside down just to forget the fact that she had been a coward who fled when the man whom she desperately wanted had tried making love to her.She had fled like a teenager and she wanted to forget it all.Drinking would help her forget it all.She just needed to keep her distance from Michael if he were to come out. It was probably a bad idea, but at the moment she didn’t care.Drinking would prevent her from remembering this morning and also stop her from begging Avery to make love to her. Because sitting here with him right now, the only thing she wanted was his hands and lips all over her naked body. And it was a bad thou
“You had one job, Zoe. Only one job and that was to keep him away from alcohol but of course you had other things in mind.” Felicity screamed at Zoe as she paced the sitting room.They had wasted no time in coming when Zoe had called and seeing the worried looks on their faces, she couldn’t help but feel guilty for giving Avery alcohol. Thinking about it now, it was probably a very stupid thing to do.“What did he say before he left?” Mia asked her with a ridiculously calm voice. “Did he say anything?”'Ask Avery the real reason he married you.' That was his last statement to her but they really had no business knowing that. That was a talk for Avery and herself.“He didn’t say anything.” She responded.“Did he try to hurt you?” Mia asked again, worry all over her voice. Zoe was quite surprised that she was acting more matured than the adults. From their first meeting, she never would have thought Mia to be nice to her.“No.” Zoe replied to her question. “He didn’t hurt me.”“If he tr
“Are we having a party here or what?” Avery asked, looking over at his family as they stared at him. He caught Zoe and Mia’s sigh of relief before looking over to meet Zoe’s gaze. He knew his mother and brother must have given her hell for giving him alcohol and he still wasn’t sure why she did that either. But he was grateful she had been willing to help.To apologize for the crazy night she must have been through, he walked over and gave her a peck on the cheek, one that surprised the hell out of her.“Well, good morning for a start.” Felicity said to her son, eyeing him and he gave her a little smile.“Good morning, mum.” He answered. “What were the both of you thinking last night?” She asked.“Nothing.” He replied with an unconcerned tone and then continued to look at his wife. “Zoe was only trying to help relieve the stressful day I had gone through.”“Yeah of course.” Aaron said to him, shaking his head. “The both of you really deserve eachother, dumb and dumber.”Avery gave hi
The look on Avery’s face made her smile as his ex-girlfriend walked into the office. She was gorgeous in her black sweat pants and top and just by looking at her, Zoe was able to tell the type of women Avery was used to dating.Gorgeous and popular women.Zoe turned back to Jasmine as the latter walked closer to them. She could feel Jasmine’s suspicious eyes on her and couldn’t do anything to hide her smile. The only reason she came to the company was to find out what Michael meant when he said Avery married her for a purpose because she couldn’t stop thinking about it. But Jasmine coming in was sure going to add some spice to her morning.“I saw you in the pictures.” Jasmine said, throwing her purse on the bed. “You were with him in the party.”Zoe smiled at her intelligence. One thing she used to be popular for was being arrogant and cocky and she sure knew she and Jasmine weren’t going to be friends.Jasmine shifted to meet Avery. “You really married her?”“Leave, Jasmine.” He said
“What?” Zoe exclaimed, not knowing which she was most surprised by. What her mother had said or the fact that she felt good about saying it. “Who was in love with you?”“Her husband.” She replied still wearing the proud look on her face.“How did you know that?” Zoe asked. “Were you also in love with him?”“Of course not.” She answered immediately with a guilty look on her face. “Why would I be in love with a married man?”Zoe nodded her head, still studying her. There was still more to be told because of the look in her eyes and she would try her best to play around it so she wouldn’t come off as being too inquisitive.“So, they were already married before you noticed her husband was in love with you?”“Yes. In fact, we were all married. I noticed for the first time during a business dinner that he was throwing looks at me. Donald was a very handsome man so I felt flattered.”“Flattered?” Zoe asked. “Even as married woman, you were flattered that another married man was throwing look
Avery rubbed his palms together while she waited for a response. He didn’t know why she was asking him that but he sure as hell wasn’t going to defer from giving her an answer. Any answer at all.“What are you asking, Zoe?” He asked, eyes on hers. “What are you really asking?”“You do not want to answer the question?"“What is the question?”“Are you still in love with Jasmine?” She clarified boldly and he relaxed on his chair, eyes still on her. He was surprised that she was asking him that. Surprised about how she asked the question. Like she really wanted to know what it is he was feeling.“I don’t know.” He replied. “But every time I look at you, I want to kiss you. Every time I look at you, I want to touch every part of your body and make you shiver at my touch.”Zoe swallowed hard at the statement as she felt her cheeks becoming red. That was a very honest answer that she had not been expecting.“You are breathtaking, Zoe. I’m sure you have been told that before.” Avery continue
