Her body felt weightless and relaxed. She was up but refused to open her eyes and ruined the comforting bliss she'd finally achieved. Ava could not stop the satisfying sigh that escaped her lips, she could not remember the last time she had a good night's rest since her divorce. Olive and all her drama had made it impossible to relax. At the thought of Olive, she shot up from the bed, Her mom. Glancing around in panic, she noticed the room she was cooped in. It was dark and she could not see much. The events of last night were slowly coming back to her, she remembered his words before she passed out. She remembered giving out her mum's nursing home name, she said a silent prayer for her mum's safety. The curtains suddenly parted slowly and light flooded the room, Ava looked around frantically, the room had white walls and equally white furnishings to match. The bedroom was spacious, her eyes spotted the walk-in closet nestled at the far end, and the floor-length mirror stati
As the car zoomed down the streets of Chicago, Ava fiddled with her hands. They were returning from the new nursing home he'd placed her mother in. The car ride was silent, Conan did not appreciate it as he was enamoured with her voice first, he'd been attracted to her voice from their first meeting. His eyes flickered briefly from the road as he tried to catch a glimpse of her phone screen. "What are you doing? " He asked, trying to hide his curiosity. Ava was startled resulting in her fumbling with her phone. Just like before his deep velvety voice caused her lower belly to tingle, she could hear the tinge of an accent. She'd always believed French to be the most sexiest language a man could speak. "I'm looking up nursing homes near me" she answered, waving her phone around for emphasis. " I told you it was fine, she's perfectly safe and comfortable there " Conan spoke with a sigh, he had been trying to convince her ever since they left the nursing home but Ava was stubborn
Conan counted to ten in his head before he alighted the car and followed her inside. He was excited no doubt but he feared he'd lose control, they had no rules or boundaries laid down, Heck he was not sure if she was into the deranged type of shit that he was but he could only hope. The door to the apartment led to the living room it was quiet, and Conan smiled to himself. He savoured the thought of devouring her when he finally caught her, there was nowhere to hide in her tiny apartment. His eyes landed on the kitchen counter across the room, resting on it was a bottle of alcohol its contents having been consumed halfway. He needed to fix her drinking problem, it was unhealthy but at the same time that wasn't his choice to make. They were mere acquaintances. He moved towards the counter and poured himself a drink, taking his sweet time. Meanwhile, Ava was cramped into a broken wardrobe in the attic, waiting with baited breaths.The room was crammed full with broken pieces of
Conan's fingers traced her waist as he moved behind her. His footsteps were silent now that his shoes were off. Ava's hand clutched the edge of the rug tightly, not out of fear but rather excitement. She focused on her pulsating sex as a rush of cool air swept over her exposed flesh. Everything felt right, her nerves, her shame and her excitement, she knew she was enjoying it because Conan was the other party, she could not imagine herself doing this with someone else. The stilling silence was broken as his hands came down on her ass. Ava lurched forward but arched her back, pushing her ass into him. She'd expected the leather. "Remember your safe word, you're in control" He spoke as he caressed her stinging ass. Ava nodded in response as she bit down on her lips hard to control herself. Conan soon maintained a steady rhythm as he spanked her, alternating between hitting and caressing both ass cheeks. Ava's eyes were closed as she relished in the pleasurable pain, her pussy
Ava did not want to move from her position on the bed, even with the pounding on her front door. She knew who it was, the she-devil had a spare key but refused to use it, she'd continue her assault on the door until Ava got up and attended to her personally. As she rolled down from the bed, she could not help but feel her heart sink at the empty room, she'd gotten up earlier and realised Conan was no longer sleeping next to her. It hurts more than it had the first time, even when they'd not slept together what they had felt more intimate than him sticking his dick in her. She trudged down the stairs in her pyjamas, limping slightly, the bruises on her ass were healing, Conan had massaged her butt, layering ointments and oils on it before they went to bed, he was gentle with her. Ava stared at her front door and sure enough, Elaina was banging on it with no care in the world. "El stop it, you're going to wake up the neighbours" She scolded as she flung the door open, letting her
"That's enough detective work for a day, let's eat! " Elaina declared, as they both got up from the floor. She reached for the napkin on the table and an envelope fell out of it.Both ladies stared at it in silence as they exchanged glances. Elaina reached for it as Ava moved closer to her. "What's this? Another gift from your lover? " Elaina teased, her perfectly arched brows rising. "I don't know, open it and see" Ava pushed, ignoring her antiques. She opened the envelope and pulled out a crisp check. "One...two...three...four...five...si-" Elaina's voice slowly fades as she reads out the zeros attached to the check. Ava slid the envelope from Elena's shaky hands as she held the check delicately in her hand. She peered inside and sure enough another note was in the envelope. Sorry for the inconvenience. That's all it said. The best friends comically turned towards one another with eyes blown wide. Eliana squealed in excitement while Ava just stared wordlessly.this could
"Hello, welcome to Camille's pizza place, How may I take your order" The overly happy voice of the operator filtered through the speakers. Ava sighed again, the voice irritated her, it made her want to pull out her hair, it felt like a mockery. She hung up on the worker for the eighteenth time today. She hissed loudly and flung her phone on the bed, She felt her patience snap like a frayed rope, unable to bear the strain any longer. A long sigh tumbled from her lips. Ava felt pathetic, it was an embarrassing sight, was she so deprived that she could not forget about the first man who had taken a dip in her cavern since Dimitri? It's been a week, of waiting for a call, text, e-mail, or anything from Conan but the businessman had not once reached out. Following Elaina's advice of making an effort, Ava had tried to call him but for some reason, all her calls were being transferred to the pizza place she'd intended to call that night. The whole thing was driving her crazy, She want
The place was packed filled with people, some sat in groups, and others sat alone with a mug of coffee in front of them. The workers zoomed up and down, mounted on roller blades. The interior and the workers' outfits reminded Ava of those 90's milkshake places you see in movies. The employees had on round-collared yellow t-shirts with camile written in bright pink letters and black pleated skirts to go with it, they had knee pads while the men replaced the skirts with pants. Ava also noticed the men sitting at the far end of the restaurant, they had on the same shirt, with the exact logo he had on that night. It's been 4 months since he left her panting in her attic, four months with no response or anything from him. 4 months since she started working at Kp Enterprises, 4 months of working for her extremely generous boss Mr Vegas. Ava had initially expected to see someone pushing seventy when they spoke about Mr Vegas Kanaphan Puitrakul, imagine are shock when she walked into t
Ava's feet moved before she could think against it as she crouched down on the floor, crawling to the end of the hallway. She peaked at the party room.Her hands quickly shut up to cover her gasp at the scene in front of her.Most of the guests were lying face down on the floor while others were on their knees, and the floor was covered with shards of broken champagne glasses. The party seemed to have dwindled down to just the ladies with only a few men scattered around. All the bodyguards were lying lifeless by their posts. She looked to see if she could catch sight of any of the sketchy men she'd seen entering the party earlier, but none was present. Men armed with loaded guns and black masks concealing their identities lined every corner of the room, barking orders at the captives. She could've easily crept back to the elevator and stayed in the penthouse till it was safe to come out but she immediately remembered her text messages with Kimberly and the urgency that had made her
The party was going smoothly. It was indeed a fun night. Ava had met most of Conan's close business partners. He had a reputation around these parts.It was fascinating watching him among these powerful men who treated him with equal respect. "I'll get you a drink, Love, so you can rest your feet for a while," Conan whispered to her before gently lowering her on a chair.He'd been like this all night, extremely clingy and touchy with her. He'd been possessive, too, glaring at anyone who touched her for too long. Ava chose to think it came with the territory. "Hello beautiful," a voice spoke from behind her, and Ava turned to the stranger who had addressed her."I know, but stop gaping." He continued with a soft laugh, and Ava closed her mouth.The man standing in front of her was a big name in the art world. He'd been her favorite artiste since high school, and here he was greeting her."I'm sorry, I'm Ava, it's such an honor to meet you." She gushed, extending her hands for a hands
Ava pressed herself against the car seat, body quivering in fear at the hard faces staring back at them through the window. They were surrounded by men in suits, who said nothing but had their guns trained on the car.Conan laughed out loudly, and Ava's head whipped to him, her brows bent in confusion. "I think we should slowly ease back and go back the way we came," She whispered to him."Don't worry, Mi cherie, he's just giving us a warm welcome," He announced, unlocking the car door.Ava wanted to protest, but Conan was already out of the car with his hands up in mock surrender. Following his lead, she tentatively got down and stood behind him, Eliana and Camile following their lead."Pierre!! we've been expecting you. " A voice sounded out from the entrance of the building.The owner raised up his fist, and all the guns were lowered. The guards dispersed save for two, who gestured for them to follow his lead.They were led to the entrance of the mansion, where two separate men
Ava felt like a new person as her eyes fluttered to adjust to the light streaming in from the windows. She had felt Conan get up earlier and stare at her. She kept her eyes closed until he left the room after kissing her forehead.After his confession last night, they'd kissed non-stop and then fallen into bed, wrapped up in each other's arms. Conan was beyond gentle with her, placing soft kisses all over her skin, anywhere he could find, and Ava felt them healing her slowly but surely. This morning they'd be leaving Paris, though Ava regretted not being able to explore the city of love, she understood how hard it was for Conan to be here with his manipulative aunt, and last night, she'd gone on his aunt's page and found photos of his ex-wife.Ava had felt a strong urge to protect the little girl she'd never met from this lady.She stretched out on the bed, wrapping the complimentary robe tighter around herself to prevent the morning cold. With a final pat down, she went out in sea
The room was silent, Ava could not bring herself to admire the beauty of the suite she had settled in.Her head was pounding like the conversation from an hour ago was playing over and over again. She was stuck in a loop.The scene replayed in her head in 4k, Conan's aunt calling her the n-word and him exploding on her.——————————————————"Aunt!" It was Camille's voice that snapped Ava out of her shock.Conan was exchanging words harshly with the lady who was revealed to be his aunt, and Camille's horrified expression was enough to tell them the direction the conversation was going.Eliana was by her side, hands firm on her shoulder, Ava knew she was trying to hold herself back.She'd been called racial slurs in the past, mainly by Dimitri's friends who claimed they were joking but never so blatantly. It pricked her heart."It's her. It's always going to be her, the sooner you accept that the easier our relationship will be," Conan fired."Oh please, you said that about the last one,
"Glad to see you still remember you have a home, thought you'd abandoned me forever." Avaa laughed at Eliana's antiques. She had not been to the house in days, she'd been spending all her time with her boyfriend. Friend? She did not know what Conan was to her. They had not labelled their relationship but she had been spending all her free time with him, talking and fucking lots of fucking. It was like she'd been deprived of something all her life, and now she was finally getting to enjoy it and she did not want to stop. Conan was more than willing to oblige her in her requests. They'd done it in every nook and cranny of his house, in every position she could think of. She felt like she was stuck in eternal euphoria. "Well I got my week-long break from work today, we haven't been doing much since the party and Janet have been cold so I'm glad for the break" Ava strolled towards Eliana on the couch and flopped down next to her."We can finally move," She finished. Despite her prot
Conan was pissed.His body shook with anger, muscles rigid with tension.He was angry at Vegas, angry at the bastard Dimitri, and angry at the beautiful goddess sitting close to him.Immediately, he got his car back from the Valet, strapped her in and sped away from the hotel, and now they were sitting in the car with the engines off.The drive to her house was silent, with Ava sniffling and him silently fuming at the turn of events.They'd arrived at her place thirty minutes ago when Ava clambered to the front door without a word. She was back minutes later.Her best friend had someone with her in the house, and Ava didn't want to interrupt them.Ava was calmer now, Conan kept stealing glances at her, questions hanging at the tip of his tongue, but he didn't want to push her. It wasn't his place to ask, and it was technically none of his business. "Dimitri was my ex-husband. It's the first time I've seen him since the Divorce"Conan did not respond. He figured she'd appreciate his
He turned to Conan, and they exchanged words in what she knew was French, she could not understand the words being said, but she could sense the underlying threat, she could feel it oozing from his pores.Immediately, her boss disappeared amongst the crowds of people, with Conan still glaring at his back. His hands circled her wrist, and she let him pull her through the ballroom and outside to what looked like a balcony. His fingers dug into her wrist, and it was starting to hurt."Let me go. You're hurting me," She spoke calmly.She could tell he was tense and royally pissed off. Her being angry would not solve any issues, so she tried to stay calm."You'll not meet him again," He grunted out, finally letting go of her hand.Ava felt her head spinning as she tried to understand and keep her emotions in check, but one kept trying to raise its ugly head. Anger."He's my boss, of course, I'll meet him, what has gotten into you!" She took a deep breath to calm herself down before speaki
Ava let her hands slowly fall down her curves, Eliana was a magician.She had received an invitation to the annual and very exclusive invite-only charity gala held at the end of October. Ava had always known about the event and had accompanied Dimitri to it once, and now, thanks to her extremely generous boss, she'd be going again. The red dress she had on was one of her many party dresses that Dimitri supplied her with, after a little alteration by Eliana it fit her like a darn glove, hugging her curves in all the right places.It was a gorgeous high-neck mermaid cut dress that fell down to her legs with a thigh-high slit and a front top slit that accentuated her boobs.The deep red was a nice contrast to her caramel skin that glistened under the light thanks to the oil Eliana lathered her with.She kept her makeup minimal, opting for the clean girl look that a full glam like Eliana suggested.Her hands stroked her hair, she'd taken out her braids and was sporting a slicked-back po
