Sebastian's footsteps echoed through the hallways of his penthouse as he hurried to his lavish bathroom. The anticipation coursing through his veins drove him to quicken his pace, a mix of excitement and longing enveloping him like a swirling tempest. He stepped into the cascading water, its warm embrace soothing his restless thoughts.

As the water splashed against his skin, Sebastian's mind became a battleground, a clash between desire and reason. Images of Ava, her mesmerizing beauty and enchanting presence, flickered in his mind's eye, threatening to unravel the carefully constructed walls he had built. He repeated a litany of reasons, like a mantra, reminding himself why he shouldn't be so enticed by her.

"She's just a woman," he whispered to himself, the words a feeble attempt to temper his rising emotions. "This is just dinner. Nothing more."

Meanwhile, within the confines of Ava's home, a whirlwind of activity unfolded. The fragrant aroma of culinary possibilities filled the ai

    "How have you been?" Sebastian attempted to divert his attention to the dinner, engaging in light conversation to mask the tempestuous emotions that roiled within. Yet, his eyes kept wandering back to Ava, captivated by her beauty, her presence, and the memories that danced at the edge of his consciousness."Bored out of my mind," Ava replied bluntly, earning a snicker from him. "Wish I could say the same. I've been busy out of my mind." He stated, sagging against his chair. "I am so damn tired.""You don't look like it," she mumbled. Wishing to tease her, he leaned forward and raised a brow. "So what do I look like to you?"Like a delicious hunky male. Ava blushed at the thought and dropped her gaze to her food, unsure of what to say or do. As the evening progressed, their conversations grew deeper, laced with an undercurrent of longing and unspoken words. Each stolen glance, every brush of their fingertips, heightened the tension that simmered beneath the surface.Sebastian foug

    48This was wrong. The thought rang through Ava's lust clouded mind and for a minute she stiffened in Sebastian's hands pondering her next course of action. Should she really give in to this? She understood that they were adults. And perhaps if she was any other woman she could handle it. But she wasn't just any other woman. She was Ava. She wore her heart on her sleeves and hoped it would not be dashed to pieces. If there was anyone who could dash her hopes, break her spirit to pieces, it would be the man holding her currently. Sebastian let out a soft groan when finally found the zipper. Ava had grown stiff in his arms and while he was terrified that she would pull away, he couldn't bring himself to stop touching her. Stepping away from her slightly, so he could see her face; her brilliant eyes, her soft full lips that had tormented him in dreams. His hands reached up to caress her soft cheeks, cradle them and then he leaned down for another kiss. Unlike the last, this kiss was

They both groaned at the feeling of pleasure that coursed through their veins through that one action. Sebastian gritted his teeth, torn between tearing himself away from her arms and yanking off her panties. However in a moment of indecision, Ava bucked her hips against him again, wanting to feel that thrill of pleasure it gave her again. "Feels good?" He asked through gritted teeth. "So good," she whimpered, grinding her core against him harder. His hands moved between them, slipped beneath the thin fabric of her panties and slowly captured her wetness. Fuck me, he thought with a groan. She was sopping wet. So fucking wet."More," Ava pleaded, her lips parted sensually and her blue eyes were hooded when she looked up at him. Sebastian happily obliged. His free hand grabbed her hips to pi

    One month laterThe wedding had been a splendid affair and from the start, Ava was practically forbidden from lifting a finger for herself by Kim, Renee, Violet, and the flock of servants at her disposal due to how heavy she had become and she resorted to staying put unless she risked the ire of the women helping her dress up. Sebastian had planned a proposal with the rest of their friends leaving her in the dark. It was unexpected and it felt real and different this time around, they had come through so many difficulties and they both knew it was the right time to make it all real this time around.At the stroke of midnight on her wedding, Ava was standing at the entrance of the hall already adorned with palatial decorations with cascading floral arrangements hanging from every side of the grand room, sparkling white chandeliers hung high above with delicate draperies completing the settings designed to evoke an atmosphere filled with love and warmth.

    It’s been two months since Sebastian was released from the hospital and Ava moved into the mansion with him. The penthouse held too many hurtful memories and she wasn’t eager to go back there and be plagued by nightmares during her sleep. Jake’s trial hadn’t taken a lot of time either, there was a ton of insurmountable evidence against him and the jury didn’t take much liking to him either, or the judge. In reality, no one was going to take the side of a journalist with murderous intentions over New York’s most desirable couple. Their return to the spotlight had been a field day in the media world especially as articles and gossip about their breakup had been going on for a while now, their appearance together had all but quietened every rumor going on about them. Ava was becoming used to being pregnant and after a few weeks of tedious work down at the agency, she had gone on maternity leave that would run well into a few months after she gave birth.One of her favorite parts of be

    Damian looked back and forth between Ava and Sebastian and it was pretty obvious that they had eyes for just each other right now, everything else faded into the background. He didn’t need any further clue, his time here was up.“I believe it’s best I give you both some space to talk things through.” Damian cleared his throat, gave Sebastian a nod, and patted Ava’s shoulders as he walked past her. “Do you think they’re going to be fine?” Violet asked Damian as soon as he got to the door. Sebastian spared them a glance over his shoulder before returning his gaze to Violet. “I can’t possibly say for sure but if what I noticed between them was true then we’ve got nothing to worry about.As soon as Ava heard the door shut behind her, she walked towards the bed, maintaining a friendly distance as she pulled out a chair and sat on it. Sebastian didn’t know how to start tackling their issues so he decided to make small talk first, it always worked for him and he was hoping that it wouldn

    Ava made her way outside the building and towards the parking lot, it was lonely, just how she wanted it to be. She didn’t want any disturbance or interference from anyone. All Ava had wanted was for Sebastian to wake up from his coma. She spent days at his bedside, urging him to come back to her and he eventually did but she ran. There was no telling why she ran and she didn’t even have any logical explanation as to why she did it, the only thing she could say is that she was scared shitless and that was all she could say. She would eventually have to go back and talk to him afterward but she didn’t know if she could bring herself to do it. “Hey, sis.” Ava looked up to see Kim walking towards her flanked on either side by Renee and Violet, they all wore worried expressions on their faces and she could tell from their hesitation that they didn’t know if they should come any closer or maintain a healthy distance. “How did you guys find me?” Ava asked, her eyes were fixed to the g

    “I’m only trying to look out for you,” Kim sighed. “I’m tired of seeing you crying after a couple of months where you think you’re in love and your troubles are behind you. It hurts me as much as it hurts you, Ava.” “I know,” Ava smiled sadly. Kim was right, she’d always been eager to jump right back into it without putting provisions in place in case her assumed fairytale moment didn’t come to pass. But things were different this time around, she had been through a lot and as a result, she’d been forced to put herself first for now before anyone else and if anything was going to happen, she would be the last person to instigate anything. She’d done enough and it wasn’t going to work, she wasn’t going to invest her time lifting a finger. She’s done enough already. “Things aren’t going to be the way it once was. I promise you that.”“Tell me you’re sure you know what you’re doing?” Kim nibbled on her lower lip. “I can’t promise you I know what I’m doing, Kim. But my heart is in the

    “You really should stop feeling this way and making us feel like we’re strangers as well,” Kim frowned. “We’re here because we love and care about you, that’s the truth. You’re part of our lives so I don’t see how you keep interfering in what you’re a major part of. You’ve got to accept that so you’d stop feeling like you owe us something because you don’t.”Ava sighed. “Okay, you’re right and I’m sorry for feeling this way. It’s unusual to see a lot of people wanting to help me at the same time and that’s why I reacted that way,” “It’s okay, we don’t hold it against you. We know your past and how you’re still getting used to a couple of good gestures. Kim suffers from the same problem as well.” Violet assured her. “So, you mentioned that Sebastian woke up a while ago?” Kim asked, eager to steer the conversation away from their childhood. She wasn’t prepared to visit memories that she had worked so hard to repress. “Yes, he did. He wasn’t a hundred percent conscious and the doctors

    Ava walked back into the hospital room as soon as the doctor mentioned it was okay for her to return. She walked back into the room to see Sebastian soundly asleep. “Is everything alright, doctor?” Ava sounded worried. “Did he go to sleep on his own or did he pass out?”“We gave him a sedative to keep him under for a couple of hours until he regains his full strength, he should feel much after he wakes up this time around and that’s what we’re hoping for. When that happens, we can then begin the final stage of his recovery process.” Ava nodded. “Thank you, doctor. We’re so grateful for the help you’ve rendered.”“It’s my pleasure to help. I’ve known Sebastian since we were both boys and my father has been the Bancroft’s family doctor for decades. He’s like family to me as well.” “Do I need to call you guys once he wakes up?” Ava asked, her eyes fixed on Sebastian. “You don’t need to, we’d be counting down the hours ourselves and carrying out checkups before midnight. You’ve got no

    “Life isn’t meant to be fair to everyone,” Damian offered Ava a soft smile. “It’s just the way life is and we’ve got to make the best out of what we’re given.”“Sebastian doesn’t deserve this,” Ava grumbled.“No one does but shit happens.” Damian shuffled his feet as he struggled to find a comfortable situation. “Do you think he’s going to come out of this? Be honest with me. I could use that right now if you don’t mind.”“Sebastian’s tough as nails. He’s one of the most stubborn men I’ve ever met and if there’s anyone I know who’s going to come out of this, it’s Sebastian.”“Thank you, Damian.” Ava rubbed her arms, trying to calm her nerves. “You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need, please, do not hesitate to inform me.”“I’m good. Besides, I have a lot of people doting on me already and you have work to do.” “If you say so but I’m still here if you need anything.”“I should’ve done this a long time ago but I want to thank you for talking to Sebastian and managing to convince
