“Love, wake up, come on!" Lucian whispered urgently, gently shaking Ava as she turned to the other side, slipping back into sleep."Come on, love, I thought you wanted to see Nathan today!" Lucian smirked, using a playful trick to coax her awake.Ava hummed and slowly opened her eyes, still half-asleep."Yes," she whispered, her voice filled with drowsiness."I'm going out for some work with Drake. I will be back in an hour. Get ready before then, okay, love?.” Lucian asked, planting a soft kiss on her lips.She nodded, yawning and stretching her tired body.Lucian kissed her once more before heading into the bathroom, quickly taking a refreshing shower. He emerged, towel wrapped around his waist, and swiftly dressed in his favourite pair of jeans and a casual shirt. Grabbing his keys, he headed downstairs."Don!" Drake called out, seemingly appearing out of thin air."What did you find?" Lucian asked, slipping on his shirt."According to the information I have gathered, I am not quit
Drake's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Ava, as if she had suddenly grown two heads. He couldn't help but let out a light chuckle at her reaction. The same woman who had left Lucian for seven years now couldn't bear the thought of him being away for just a few days."Ma'am, don is perfectly fine! You know how strong your husband is," Drake reassured her, trying to ease her worries."But in the meantime, Don has asked Lucas to train you on how to use some weapons for self-defence.”Drake explained to Ava.Kayla's eyes widened in shock as she turned her gaze from Ava to Drake. She couldn't help but ask, "Why Lucas and not you?"."Because I'm the best!" Lucas declared, walking into the room with confidence."My lady," he murmured, taking Ava's hands and gently kissing them.“Lucian is perfectly fine!" Lucas exclaimed, his voice filled with confidence as he flashed Ava one of his charming smiles. "He just had to temporarily leave, he has some really important matters to attend to
Ava collapsed onto her bed, her body drained of all energy. Lucas had pushed her to her limits during their intense training session. Every muscle in her hands throbbed with pain, a constant reminder of the gruelling workout.Desperate for some respite, Ava reached for her phone and dialled Lucian's number. She had hoped to hear his soothing voice, a source of comfort after such a demanding day. But to her dismay, the call went straight to voicemail. Frustration welled up inside her, and she muttered a curse under her breath.“Motherfucker!”. She murmured.Ava rose from her bed and made her way to the bathroom. The cool tiles beneath her feet provided a brief moment of relief as she stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection, she turned on the shower as she stepped under it.As the water cascaded over her, washing away the sweat from her body, Lucian's words echoed in her mind. "I thought you were always on pills?" Confusion washed over her as she pondered why he would a
“Welcome, gentlemen. I apologise on Don's behalf for calling this urgent meeting," Enzo greeted, his gaze shifting from one man to another in the room.There were ten men present, each exuding an air of danger and lethality. Some of them were adorned with tattoos, adding to their intimidating presence. They engaged in hushed murmurs amongst themselves. A long silence hung in the room, broken only by the sound of their collective breaths. Finally, one of the men broke the stillness, his voice laced with impatience, "Where is Don?""He called us here, not you!" another chimed in, his voice dripping with disdain.Enzo's lips curled into a faint smile, a glimmer of amusement dancing in his eyes. "How courageous of him." Another murmured, his voice barely audible. "Calling us here while he sends his dog to run his errands. What does he take us for?""Relax," Enzo said, his voice calm yet commanding.Angry glares were directed towards Enzo, but none dared to make a move. They knew better
“What do you think you're doing, love?" Lucian's voice rumbled with a mix of anger and desire as he stood in the doorway. After a long flight back to Paris, he wasted no time in driving home, his mind consumed with thoughts of being with Ava again. The reckless speed at which he manoeuvred through traffic almost resulted in an accident, his impatience to see her evident.Ava, still catching her breath from the intense orgasm she had just experienced, murmured in awe, "Wow, that was really fast!" Her voice carried a hint of satisfaction, her body still tingling from the pleasure she had just given herself.But Lucian's anger overshadowed any pleasure he might have felt. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched, as he repeated his question with a forceful growl."l asked you a fucking question, Ava. What do you think you're doing? Touching yourself in my absence? For forty fucking minutes! You almost drove me mad!"Ava, unphased by his anger, smirked mischievously as she got off the bed to r
Ava tirelessly fire at the board, with a earmuffs on her.Lucas stand beside her, guiding her movements. Even though she was exhausted and her thighs were aching she still continue. Lucian was a beast yesterday he didn’t go easy on her at all, although she asked for it. Lucian walked in silently, signalling lucas to leave as he slowly wrapped his hands around her waist causing her to flinch as she push him away. She felt his hands wrap around her waist, causing her to flinch instinctively. Pushing him away, she found her voice, her words barely a whisper."Lucas..." she trailed off, her voice filled with confusion and apprehension."Lucian," she corrected herself, her voice barely audible."Why are you here? Where's Lucas?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.A sinister smile played on Lucian's lips as he picked up a knife, his eyes locked on Ava."You prefer Lucas over me, don't you?." Lucian's voice dripped with venom as he taunted her, his words laced with a mix of jealousy
"Well, he has been starving for a while..." he trailed off, a smirk playing on his lips."Who has been starving?." Ava asked, her curiosity piqued."Oliv... I mean, my manhood has been starving!" Lucian blurted out, his voice filled with nervousness as he coughed awkwardly.Ava scoffed, rolling her eyes in response to his crude remark."Why did you go to Russia?." Ava inquired, wanting to know the reason behind his sudden trip."I went there for some work. I wasn't supposed to be back yet, but..." Lucian trailed off, his smirk growing wider."Someone decided to misbehave!." he added mischievously."What do you mean you weren't supposed to be back yet? You left without informing me, and we had plans to spend the weekend with Nathan!." Ava grumbled, her eyes rolling in annoyance."We can still do that!." Lucian replied, trying to salvage the situation."Why can't we just bring him here, and we can all live together?" Ava suggested, hoping for a compromise."It's dangerous, Ava. I can't d
THE NEXT DAY."I had expected them to react, given what happened in Russia, but I didn't anticipate it to be this soon," Lucian remarked, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and concern. He walked into his office, accompanied by Drake and Enzo.Enzo voiced his unease, questioning the timing and the manner in which they were targeted."Something doesn't feel right. Even if they were planning an attack, it can't be this soon. Besides, only our families know about your mansion. How did they manage to track us there?." he pondered aloud as they stepped further into the office."Exactly my thoughts, Enzo. I think there is still a rat among us." Lucian said, his voice laced with a hint of suspicion. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, the smoke curling around him in a cloud of contemplation.Enzo's frustration grew, and he couldn't help but let his anger slip out. "Who else could it be if not Ava!" he growled, his voice filled with bitterness. Lucian
