Zoe stared at Avery while he slept peacefully on the bed. It was morning already and he had not woken up. Was Simon still in there? Or had Avery taken control of the body again?She remembered the event of the past night, wondering just what Simon meant when he said no one should know about it. Just what in God’s name was going on? Why did it feel like there were still a lot to uncover about him?Shaking her head to relieve herself of the thoughts, she walked into the bathroom to have a quick shower and then entered the closet, choosing a pair of jeans and a casual polo. After getting dressed, she combed her hair and parked it into a ponytail before picking a pair of glasses from the closet table.Entering the room, Avery was still fast asleep, so she left quietly, not paying attention to the maids who greeted her as she walked out.In the garage, she asked for car keys and three different ones were brought to her. She looked around to inspect the cars before choosing the black range

Avery sighed, looking at his wristwatch. He needed an excuse to get out of this checkup, especially since Zoe was home. He didn’t want to sit down and talk about himself in front of anyone, especially her.“Avery.” Doctor Phil called as he walked in and took Avery’s hand in his. “It’s been a while.”“It has just been a month, doctor.”“No. two months.” The doctor answered. “You missed last month’s and you had an excuse. Hope there is no excuse this morning seeing that you are already dressed for work.”Of course. What a way to corner him.“It won’t take long.” His mother said, interrupting them. “It usually doesn’t take long, so let’s get on with it.”They all went into the living room, leaving him with no choice but to follow them. As they seated, Zoe strolled into the room with a surprised look on her face.“Hello, Zoe.” Felicity greeted with a big smile on her face. A look passed between Aaron and Mia; one Avery didn’t fail to recognize.“Good morning, Mrs. Trent, to what do I owe

“Not on you.” Felicity replied, standing up to move closer to the television. “On Avery.”Zoe still couldn’t believe her ears. She was sleeping in a room with cameras that a weird man was in charge of. He had pretty much seen everything that there was to see. He would have seen them the night Avery had asked for sex if she had allowed him to. Or they could see they haven’t had sex at all which was pretty weird for a newly married couple.“You can’t be spying on Avery without spying on me.” Zoe replied looking at all of them.“It is not a big deal, Zoe.” It was Aaron who spoke. “We are all adults and besides, this is the 21st century. There is nothing happening in your room that we all haven’t pretty much seen.”Zoe turned away from him to look at Felicity, eyes still filled with belief. “Well, I don’t want it, you are invading on my privacy.”“You don’t have a choice, young woman. The cameras help us monitor Avery so that he doesn’t do something stupid.”“He is Avery, he doesn’t do st

The kiss was hot, rough and very demanding. Avery told himself to slow down but he just couldn’t. she was intoxicating. Just like a glass of alcohol that he was forced to abstain from and damn he did like this taste of alcohol. Zoe met his need with reckless abandon as they continued to kiss.She turned him against the wall and had his buttons opened in split seconds while he kissed her neck and ears. Her hands trailed down his chest and arms and he groaned in pleasure. She was doing things to him, making him feel things that he wasn’t sure he was capable of feeling.He turned and had her back against the wall again, kissing her lips and her face, wondering why one should taste this delicious. His hands flew to her top and he helped her out of it. He unhooked her bra and she wiggled out of it, letting it fall to the ground on their own free will. Then he kissed her neck, the hollow on her throat and when his lips bent to take a nipple in his mouth, she moaned, throwing her heads back.

“A drink?” Avery asked her and she nodded her head while her mind screamed at her for asking such a ridiculous thing.“Yes, Avery. A drink. A real drink.”He looked at her with uncertainty and she smiled. He wasn’t the only person who wanted to forget today. She wanted to forget it too, especially this morning. She had worked like a maniac, almost turning the house upside down just to forget the fact that she had been a coward who fled when the man whom she desperately wanted had tried making love to her.She had fled like a teenager and she wanted to forget it all.Drinking would help her forget it all.She just needed to keep her distance from Michael if he were to come out. It was probably a bad idea, but at the moment she didn’t care.Drinking would prevent her from remembering this morning and also stop her from begging Avery to make love to her. Because sitting here with him right now, the only thing she wanted was his hands and lips all over her naked body. And it was a bad thou
