Zoe shuddered at his words. She didn’t realize when she moved closer to him so that they were just few breaths away from each other. He continued to watch her with dreamy eyes as if he needed an approval before acting on his desires. When he saw that she was inviting him to make the move, he raised his head from the bed and slid a hand around her neck to bring her as close as he wanted.Zoe closed her eyes, expecting the kiss but when it wasn’t forthcoming, she opened them again to see him looking at her. She could see the raw desire in his eyes and she wanted to scream at him to just kiss her. His calm breath laced over her face and his thumb moved to the hollow of her neck, massaging, rubbing, feeling. She could feel her own pulse racing as if she would die if he didn’t take her.His hands moved to her face and his thumb caressed her lips. His touch sent a sweet sensation down her legs, making her writhe on the hard floor that she realized wasn’t as hard as before. Then his lips mov

Avery lifted Zoe off the counter, helping her to adjust her dress before facing his intrigued family. He had no words for each and every one of them aside from a look of disappointment. Disappointment that they just interrupted what he had been dreaming of doing while working miserably all day at the office. He wasn’t sorry that they caught them in that position, it was his house after all. He was sorry that they came all together.“Now to what do I owe this lovely surprise?” He asked with a scowl on his face, walking past them into the main living room.“Why do you look so disappointed?” Aaron asked, amused and not the least guilty for interrupting their lovely act.“Uhmmm, maybe you could stay in your houses at this time of the night?” Avery grumbled like a child who had just been stopped from watching his cartoons.“Or maybe you could get a room.” Mia murmured innocently. When Avery turned to offer her one of his dangerous angry looks, he saw her shaking her head, as if she was try

Avery woke up to hear Zoe screaming in her sleep. He watched her struggle with herself and saw the agony on her face. She was calling Francis; her ex-husband, asking him not to say anything because he would be killed.He got closer to her and held her arm. “Zoe.” He called calmly, in order not to startle her. “Hey, Zoe. Wake up, it is a dream.”She shrieked and then opened her eyes. She looked at him, almost hitting him in the process of sitting up, but he was able to hold her before she did that.“Hey.” He called. “It is me, It’s Avery.”She stopped struggling immediately and relaxed on him while he hugged her to himself. “It was just a dream, Zoe”. He continued to sooth her. “It was just a dream.”He held her for a moment, whispering words of comfort to her and when she was relaxed enough, moved her away a little.“Why do you keep dreaming about it, Zoe?” He asked, hoping that it was an appropriate topic for her to discuss. “Were you there when it happened?”She took a while to answ

“Well, I don’t think that is any of your business, Aaron.” Zoe replied boldly to him, making sure that she maintained a safe distance. She has seen Avery’s anger and has gotten quite used to it, but Aaron looked like he was going to be a tougher pill to swallow when angry. “It is a secret between Simon and I, so please stay out of it.”He shook his head, impressed by her confidence. “You are new to this family, Zoe, so don’t you dare act like you have a relationship with Simon.”“And what if I do?” Zoe asked. “What if I have a relationship with all three of them? Just stay out of my business, Aaron. I will look for what Simon and I lost, so, you don’t have to worry about it.”Aaron looked her over and then sat back on his chair in the dining room, deciding to let the subject go for the main time.“My mother mentioned something about you being married.” He said and she froze at the spot. Aaron caught her tension and tilted his head to the side. “We didn’t want to think it was true beca

Aaron took the empty seat beside his mother while Mia sat beside Avery who offered her a smile, asking how her journey went and if she enjoyed herself.“Well, the show was amazing but I have seen plenty amazing before.” Mia bragged, accepting a glass of water from the servant standing behind them. She drank a reasonable amount, gave herself some minutes before putting food into her plate. “Zoe sure did enjoy herself.”They turned to look at Zoe who shrugged as she settled into the conversation. “There was a whole lot of glamour.”“But you are used to glamour.” Aaron chipped in while pouring wine into a glass. “I have been to your home before and it is glamour through and through.”“My home?” Zoe asked him and he nodded, sparing her a look.“Your home in the estate.”“What business did you have in my family’s house?” She asked.“Calm your socks down, Zoe. Your mother is a lover of the finer things of life.” He replied. “When it was her turn to host the Hotel Association business event,
