Avery POV
Eliana pulls me to the middle of the dance floor after we had some shots and we started dancing around each other. I can’t believe I am doing this. I can’t remember the last time I danced like this. Eliana smiles at the same time I feel two big hands rest on my hips as I get pulled back as someone starts rubbing their junk against my ass.
“Keep away from me you creep”, I say stepping away from him and pulling Eliana away towards the corridor where the VIP bathroom is. Eliana keeps asking what is going on and as soon as we get into the bathroom I close the door and lock it. She looks at me a little in shock and I shake my head.
“What is going on?”, she asks again and I start pacing around like a maniac. I only really seen people doing this in films and now look at me, pacing like them, as if it would help me with anything.
“Didn’t you see the guy?”, I ask and she laughs
‘Yeah, he was smoking hot”, she says waving her hands in front of her face.
“He was rubbing himself against me’, I let out looking in the mirror.
“That’s a good thing, you want a guy like that rubbing all of him against you, you want a guy like that to be with you”, she says and I shake my head.
“You know I don’t do one night stands, you know I don’t care for things like this, I just want to have fun”. I let out and Eliana takes a deep breath as she flushes the toilet.
We stay in silence for a couple of minutes while she washes her hands.
“You need to get laid, you need the distraction”, Eliana says and I shake my head.
We get out of the bathroom and we go back to the dance floor, the guy is resting his elbow on the bar and leaning back. I can’t lie, he does look like a greek god. His face looks like is was made by the angels as his body is pure temptation. He is tall and well built, you can see he works out and his piecing blue eyes look at me as if he is reading my soul.
I feel my insides twist as he smirks looking at me. He blows me a kiss and I can feel my underwear automatically getting wet. Argh. Get a grip Avery.
I turn around and start dancing with Eliana when I see Fred being pulled by Bella into the middle of the dance floor. My heart skipped a beat and I feel as if the floor was being removed from under me. Everything starts to spin and Eliana looks at me and I can see the worry all over her face.
She starts to talk to me but its like I am in trance, I see them dancing together while he rubs himself on her behind and bites her neck. They move together as one and I can’t lie, I feel jealousy take over, he swapped me for her. How could he? Eliana pulls me by my hand towards the VIP area and shakes me by my shoulders.
“Hey are you alright? Avery, come on, look at me”, she says and my eyes meet mine and she smiles.
“Everything okay with her?”, Amber asks as she kneels in front of me.
“Yeah, I guess”, Eliana says and starts to explain everything to Amber, she goes really mad and Eliana show her Fred. They both start trash talking him but I still feel like I shouldn’t be here.
“I have an idea”, Amber says as she claps her hands.
“I’ll ask my brother to dance with you, and trust me he will make that Fred guy be really jealous”, she says and I shake my head.
“No, that’s alright, I don’t want to play the same game he is playing”, I let out
“Oh darling, you will be in a whole new level of the game”, she says as she walks away. Not long after she comes back and when I look up I am greeted by those piercing sky blue eyes.
“Hi, I’m Matteo”, he says offering me his hand.
“It’s his birthday as well”, Amber says.
“Happy birthday”, Eliana says giving me a small nudge on my side.
“I’m Avery”, I say taking his hand as he lifts me from the chair I was sitting and pulls me to the dance floor.
“What are you doing?”, I ask and he pulls me to face him as his hands snake around my waist pulling me closer to him. Our bodies touching and my breathing starts to go heavier.
“Making sure the dickhead that has been looking at you knows you are mine”, he says in my ear. I feel a chill down my spine and involutarely I close my eyes. God how is it possible that this man is so perfect? He smiles as we start to move in the same rhythm as the music playing.
Matteo rests his hands on my hips as we both move at the same pace to the music. I see Fred’s eyes on me and I can tell the is not liking what he is seeing. As if Matteo noticed what was happening he spins me around and I am now facing him with my hands around his neck as he pulls me closer to him as his hands rest on my ass.
“Do you really need to touch my ass?”, I ask and he laughs. God his laghter is the sweetest thing. He sounds so good and he smells even batter.
“No, but I wanted to”, he replies and as he says that I feel a hand pulling me away from Matteo but he holds on to me and pulls me behind him protectively.
“What the fuck Avery?”, I hear Fred say. I take one step to the side now facing him as Matteo has an arm snaked around my waist.
“Fred, what do you want?”, I ask.
“What are you doing here with him? And dressed like that? You look like a slut”, he says and before I am able to reply I see Matteo punching Fred in the face making him fall on his ass holding on to his nose.
“Look what you’ve done”, I hear Bella shouting as she tried to help Fred to get up but he pushes her away.
“Come” Matteo says pulling me away. I look back and I see Fred still sitting on the floor holding his t-shirt around his nose.
“Did you really had to do that?”, I ask Matteo as he pulls me into the VIP area.
“He called you a slut, no man should talk to a woman like that”, he says as he moves a stand of hair that was in front of my eyes and he puts behind my ear.
“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen”, Matteo says and I feel a chill down my spine as he pulls me closer to him and seals his lips against mine. I close my eyes and allow him to kiss me as much as he wants.
Matteo POV “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen”, I tell Avery before I crash my life against her, I can taste the alcohol and her sweet taste mixed with it. I can’t help but hold on to her ass keeping her closer to me while my lips to the dirty work. I feel her arms around my neck as she kisses me as if her life depended on it. I press her body against the wall that is behind her on the corridor for the VIP section and I feel one of her legs wrapping around mine and I take it as a signal to lift her from the floor as she wraps both legs around my waist. Her legs on that position lifts her dress up exposing even more her legs and we only have my jeans and a thin layer of underwear between us right now. Avery moans on my mouth while my tongue plays with hers. I hear someone coughing behind me and I break the kiss to see one of my guys with his arms crossed in front of his chest with his eyes on the
Avery POV This is so out of character for me, but I really can’t even think straight. Matteo smells and tastes amazing and I think that all the alcohol I had to drink made me a little more outgoing, but hey, I am not complaining as Matteo makes me straddle him and he pulls my dress up exposing my ass with my little thong. I like how sexy he makes me feel as I feel him growing underneath me. Between kisses and moans I ask him where he is taking me but honestly I don’t care anymore, I am in heaven and I love how his hands feel touching my body, I can only imagine the damage a man like this can do to my body with his. My eyes roll back in pleasure as he pulls my hair back offering him better access to my neck. I arch my back with the pleasure that his soft lips cause on my body. I can tell he is starting to lose his self control because he pulls my dress down exposing my breasts and the cold air make them harder, as if it
Matteo POV Avery is the most amazing woman I have ever had in my life, and she was the only one I have ever brought home, I usually have them in my office or in their houses, never on mine and I never have the driver take us anywhere. I don’t need them to know how to find me, how to contact me, they are just links to me that I don’t need. Don’t get me wrong. I respect woman, I think they are the most amazing God creation, but I don’t want them chasing around me. I like my freedom, but if Avery wants to find me again, wants to be around me and have some fun in my bed again I am game. I never repeat sex with a woman because they will get clingy, I made that mistake before and lived to tell the tale and I don’t recommend. But Avery is different. Sex with her was perfection, she allowed me to dominate our interaction and she played along, her curves made me realise that top models are not as good. I think I am addicted to
Avery POVI know I am awake, but I don’t want to open my eyes. It feels like I have just fallen asleep, and I am too tired. My entire body is aching, I move my legs, and I touch something. What the hell? I open my eyes, pulling the sheet to cover my breasts as I sit-ups on the bed. I look at my side, and there he is. The most beautiful man I have ever seen. His long dark lashes cover his eyes as he sleeps. He’s resting on his back with the sheet hanging dangerously low on his waist, his left-hand rests on his stomach while his right hand is behind his head. He is breathing deeply in sleep. I can’t help but stare at him for a couple of seconds.I take a deep breath getting out of bed, and recover my clothes from the floor. They are all scattered, and I need them to get out of here. I get dressed quickly, so he doesn’t wake up. I have never done this before, having a one night stand, but I know the rules, you leave as soon as you can, you don&rsqu
Matteo POV“Boss”, I hear Leo say as he enters my bedroom. Does he have a fucking death wish?“Fuck you”, I let out through greeted teeth.“I wish, but come on, you need to get up”, Leo says and I roll my eyes that are covered by my arms. I absolutely hate him. I don’t even know what time it is, but I know its too early. Why is he even awake?“What the fuck are you doing in Here?”, I bark at him as I sit on the edge of the bed. I pass both my hands through my hair and I look up to see Leo standing at the end of the bed holding his iPad, he is looking down at it as if his life depended on it.“What is it? Spit it out”, I say and he clears his throat resting the iPad on his side.“We have a message from the Chinese, they want to meet up, they contacted one of our corner boys”, Leo says and I stand up offering him a smirk.“Finally, took them long enough&
Matteo POV “Why are you here so early?” she asks when I put her back down on her feet. “We have to talk about your little boyfriend”, I say, and she rolls her eyes walking towards her bed and sitting in the middle of it. That is exactly as she used to sit when she was younger, and I was giving her grief for some trouble she’s gotten herself into. “What about him?”, she asks now crossing her arms in front of her chest. “He is not good enough for you, and you need to break up with him”, I blurt it out straight to the point. “Why would I do that? You always sleep around with the most random girls. Why do I have to break up with James?”, She asks looking me dead in the eyes. “He is from the Irish Mafia Amber”, I let out in frustration. Amber starts to laugh and falls back on her bed, holding her stomach while she laughs. What the fuck
Avery POVThis week has been the most chaotic week of my life. I have finally moved out of that apartment because Bella decided to come back and make my life a living hell with Fred. Fred wasn’t impressed with the stunt that Matteo created and he kept coming to the house every day. It made sense for me to move out as fast as possible. I got the chance to rent a small apartment in Brooklyn. The only problem is that now I have to wake up one hour earlier to get to class on time and today, I overslept and I am running late already. No shower for me this morning if I want to get to class on time.I make some coffee quickly while I read for the thousand time the assignment I have to deliver today, I hope this is okay, I can’t afford to drop my grades and lose my scholarship. My phone starts to ring and its my mom. I answer straight away right after I take a sip from my coffee. “Hey mom”, I say and she
Matteo POVAvery finally said yes to our date, and there's me now finally planning it. We agreed she would give me her phone number to call her with the details for the date. She was very reluctant about it, but I managed to get her to cooperate with me.After kissing her, I knew I could never let her go again, we were both sober and high alert, and it was the most beautiful and endearing kiss I have ever received. The way her soft lips touched mine and the way she tasted. She will be the death of me, for sure, that girl will do whatever she wants. She controls my body, my soul and now my heart. How could have got this happened?"Hey, are you coming out tonight?" Leo asks as he opens my office door."No, sorry, I have important things to do", I blurt it out as I look down at my phone at Avery's number. I need to call her, but I don't even know what to say. I have come up with a drive-through cinema idea, bu
Matteo POV I finish washing changing clothes and having a shower as soon as I came out of the basement, I couldn’t let Pedro live any longer, I made him as miserable as I could, he was tortured every day by my people, and he was starved and abused. They did to him everything he did to Avery and more, he was begging to die, but they knew better than to end his life. That was up to me. His eyes lit up when he saw me walking into his cell. He begged me to kill him faster and for once I agreed with him, a quick kill is what was needed here, he had become a problem in my house, Avery was getting agitated with Jane in the house and Pedro in the basement, so I had to finish him. Baby Jane is officially our daughter from today, All the paperwork was approved and we can finally call her our daughter, Avery is so happy, happier than I have ever seen her. I can’t even believe this is happening, I thought this day would never come
Avery POV Present Day “How does that make you feel?”, Suzanne asks me while I take a deep breath and I play with my wedding ring. I look up at her and shrug my shoulders. I know she is my therapist and she is paid to help me but today I can’t talk to her, my anxiety is creeping in and I know I should tell her about it but I just can’t. I have been trying to tell Matteo about Jane and every time I start the conversation he changes the subject. I know he is not doing it to spite me, because he doesn’t even know about her, and deep down I know I haven’t tried hard enough to tell him ion fear he will say no. Once my hour in the therapy session is done I walk to the waiting room where Eliana is waiting for me, she has been feeling sick today and she looks terrible, she looks like she hasn’t slept one little bit and I have to say I am worried about her.
Matteo POV FOUR DAYS AGO I am sitting in my office with my head between my hands as I take a deep breath after reading the reports of my last weapons sale, the Irish are trying to get us to change the price, and I don’t negotiate with terrorists. They have been attacking some of my guys, they say it is not them, but I know it is. And this will have to end. I hear someone knocking on the door, and I tell them to come in. I have to say I wasn’t expecting Eliana to walk through the door, and she always avoided being around me. She said to Rio that my aura scares her, well good, like that she knows not to fuck up with me. “I am sorry for bothering you, but I need to talk to you”, Eliana says, and I nod my head, pointing at the chair opposite from mine on the other side of the desk. She closes the door behind her, walks towards the chair, and takes a seat. She looks at me, and she smiles.
Avery POV The ceremony was beautiful and baby Rose is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, she loves her mommy and daddy but she loves mu cuddles and I have to say that I enjoy her company more than I enjoy any adults at the moment, she is a great listener and she is helping me a lot, more than therapy. The way she looks at me melts my heart and I made a decision. I want to volunteer at the Maternity ward in the hospital. There’s a Volunteering program that all you have to do is cuddle babies that are in the NICU while their parents are at work and can’t give them attention. As soon as we got home I told Matteo what I wanted to do and he smiled. I know he is worried about me and he knows that this is the first step for me to get better, I will do something to help someone, it will make me feel better about myself, I will be able to help those children and those parents. Matteo decided that because I will volunteer there he will provide hot food to parents that a
Matteo POV “Where is he and where is Avery?”, I ask and Robyn say he has a house in the Hamptons, she doesn’t know where exactly, y, but I should start there, that gives me something to start looking for Avery. As that information leaves Robyn’s mouth Eliana stands up and pulls a make up wipe and starts wiping her face. Robyn looks at her horrified realising she was played as Eliana walks out of the room after giving me a half hug. Now its the two if us little bird, and you will regret the day you were born. I walk to Robyn that is now begging for her life and I pull her up by her hair and she looks petrified. I bring her to the small table in the end of the room while she screams a kicks and I smack her in the face. This is going to be fast, I throw her on the floor on her knees and I tell her to beg, beg for her life as Avery tried to save hers and my sister’s. She looks at me with wide eyes as I pull my weapon from
Avery POV I open my eyes and I can’t see Matteo next to me. I look around starting to feel my anxiety creeping in as I pull the blanket closer to my body and I hear Matteo moving and walking to me. “Hey, I am here”, I hear his soft voice whisper, I look at him and he looks tired, he looks like he hasn’t slept in days and I feel myself breaking again, I feel my tears spilling down my face as Matteo wraps his arms around me pulling me closer to him. “Everything is okay, I am here, you’re safe”, he whispers and I nod my head. Matteo pulls away saying I should have a bath and I can’t think of anything better right now. Matteo walks to the bathroom opening the taps I can hear the water running and the bath filling up. I put my legs out of the bed and Matteo walks back into the bedroom rushing over to me to help me stand up. As soon as my feet touch the floor Matteo wraps his arms around my waist keeping me stand as my knees give up on me. I am weak and Matteo knows. He wa
Matteo POV "Boss, we got her", Leo says through the phone, and I can't help but smile. They finally found Robyn, it's been two days since we spoke and dealt with her waste of space of a boyfriend, and now she is waiting for me to deal with her ass. I walk down the halls and towards the cells in the basement. She was curious to know where our safe house was, and now she knows because she is here and she will never leave. I don't care who she is to my sister and to Avery. She will die for her betrayal and for Avery being taken away from me. I open the door, and she is in the corner, she looks afraid, she is looking at my men as if they were monsters, but she doesn't know I am the worse of them all, I can become the devil if people cross my way. "Matteo, please help me", she says, and I look around to see Leo and Rio looking at her. Leo looked like he was going to kill her. "Leave", I tell them both, and she looks at them and then at me, and the truth hi
Avery POV I don’t know how long I have been in here, but the torture makes all the day blend together. Every day and hour is the same, I still have the blindfold and I am being fed by tubes, just enough to keep me alive while man after men touches me, they touch my body as if it was their property and not my own body anymore, but none of them actually penetrate me, I don’t know how much longer I can live like this. My body and my personal choice being taken away from me by force. I have been enduring psychological torture since I have arrived here, the constant hands touching me are nothing compared to the psychological torture I am suffering, I have earbuds on playing constant sounds of crying babies keeping me awake and from time to time the sounds stop and I am allowed to sleep for a few minutes and then the torture continues. I am sleep deprived, my head hurts and my body, well I stopped felling my body as a way of disassociating from the constant hands touching
Matteo POV It was all planned out to take Avery from me. Amber told me what happened and I can’t believe I was so stupid. Eliana is still there helping Rio. I can’t believe I fell for this. What was I thinking? They took her and they haven’t made any contact yet. Rio is trying to find any leads he might get on Avery in the meantime I am driving all around the city trying to think where they could have taken her. My phone starts ringing through the car speaker and I answer, it is Leo and I know he is taking care of my baby sister and their child. But I can’t believe this. I can’t even enjoy the birth of my niece when I am this worried about Avery. I know she was training with Leo and Rio, she became good at fighting and shooting but she is still my wife. I should have protected her. And how did the bastards get in the safe house? That place is full of passwords and security. It is an inside job. Amber said it wasn’t Eli
