AVERY

I WATCHED IN slight amusement as the faces of people around me shifted in shock. My mind could not comprehend the amount of money that Adraino was spending to get back at our enemies.

I was certain that the blogs were going to have a field trip with the news.

I looked around the ballroom. Laura had a slack look on her face, and Dante was red with rage beside her.

Clarance stood on the other side of the room, sweating profusely as she stared at me angrily, but I did not care. I was strangely enjoying this show of power.

When it was all over, Adriano handed me a glass of champagne and said in a whisper, "What do you think, Miss Avery?"

I hid my smirk behind my cup as I took a small sip and said, "That was a showoff. I do not need you fighting my battles."

He chuckled and responded, "Look at their faces and tell me that you're not satisfied."

The sadness and fear that I had been feeling earlier after Clarance met me in the bathroom was gone, and replaced with a slight sense of elat

    JEAN STARED AT his phone for long minutes after he ended the call. His brain was spinning as he tried to put two and two together.He still did not want to believe that Avery was dead. The thoughts alone sent sharp shards of pain into his heart, and he feared what would happen if he accepted the news. He was ready to keep on living in denial.Clarance Rossi was crying for Avery in the news?That piece of information did not sit right with Jean. How had Clarance known that Avery was dead?There was no news outlet that carried the cause of death. Jean was so confused about his next line of action. What was he supposed to do?He stacked the gardening equipment against the wall and walked out. He stood outside for some seconds, and then on an afterthought, he walked to the neighboring house and knocked.At first, he thought there was no one else in also, but then the door opened and the familiar face of the elderly man came into view. Barney recognized Jean immediately because he had see

    "MR CARTER, ARE you still there?" The secretary called. "Mr Carter, are you still-"The ringing finally stopped in Jean's ears, but his vision was still blurry. He looked around the room, trying to focus his gaze on something, or someone but it wasn't working. He took in a deep breath and said in a somewhat steady voice, "What did you say? Say it again." He wanted to believe that he had heard wrong. He hoped that he had heard the wrong thing."I'm sorry, sir," the secretary said. "It is just what I heard when I began investigating why the payment was being declined. So i-""For God's sake!" Jean swore in French. "I do not give a rat's ass what you did. Just repeat what you said earlier."The secretary cleared his throat fearfully and said. "The doctor, Avery Quinn, is dead.""No, no, no..." Jean cried. He stood up from the table when he realized that he was starting to alarm Kelvin.Kelvin, Jean closed his eyes in pain and anguish as he thought of his son. How was he going to take th

    JEAN CARTER WAS a content man, and he was getting happier by the day. He looked up from what he was doing in the big garden behind his mansion and watched his son shoveling some dirt into an electronic wheelbarrow.Jean wiped away sweat with the back of his hand and smiled. Kelvin was actively doing something, not rotting away in bed or in couch like a potato, and all these was thanks to the beautiful doctor. Avery Quinn, who had been flooding into Jean's mind more frequently than usual."Do you need help with that?" Jean called, already putting on his second glove to go and help Kelvin who was having some issues with controlling the wheelbarrow, but kelvin shook his head.Jean stayed back, but was watching, ready to help Kelvin at the slightest chance, but he didn't need to as the small boy soon figured it out.Jean looked around at the work they had done. Kelvin's love for gardening had spread to Jean. It was also a regular bonding time as they raked and packed dirt together and pla

    AVERYJACKSON WAS WRONG.That was the first though that popped into my head as soon as I woke up. I stifled a small groan as I rolled over and stared at the ceiling.I remembered Jackson's words. He had told me to have sex one last time with Adriano, and that would put him out of my mind for good.But oh boy, he was so wrong. My stomach clenched and my heart thudded as the feeling came gushing back. I had missed everything about him, the way he held me, his scent, the way I felt when he was inside me.The sex had the adverse effect on me. Now I could not stop thinking about Adriano..."Fuck!" I muttered under my breath."That is a lovely thing to say immediately after sex," His voice cut through my thoughts.I took in a deep breath and turned around. The bright sun reflected in his eyes and he had a small smile on his face."Sorry," I muttered."Shh, there is nothing to be sorry about," He said, placing a finger to my lips.I could not take it anymore, I sat up abruptly and stood up,

    Avery's POVAvery slid off Adriano's thighs, dripping all the way down her legs. She knelt between his splayed legs and looked up at him with a wicked smile. "Again, baby?" she purred, wrapping one small hand around his thick cock. It was already starting to harden once more at her touch.Adriano groaned, head falling back against the pillow as Avery began to stroke him firmly from base to tip. Her hand was warm and smooth, her grip just tight enough to send sparks of pleasure through his core. "Fuck, Avery..." he grunted, hips rocking into her fist. "Your hand feels so good.""Mmm, I love touching you like this," Avery breathed, pumping faster. "Feeling how hard you get for me." Her other hand cupped his heavy balls, rolling them gently as she worked his cock. "I want to make you come again, baby. Can you do that for me?""Shit yes," Adriano panted, fisting the sheets. "Your hands are magic, my love." His muscles tensed and flexed beneath tanned skin slick with sweat as Avery's fin

    Avery Quinn was supposed to be dead. That stupid Russian assasin had failed in the only thing she needed him to do.Instead, Clarance was standing here, trying to answer questions she had no answers to. When she returned to the group, her smile was back in place, but the champagne turned sour in her mouth. She did not engage in the conversation, laughters sounded hollow.Every second she spent amongst these women felt like borrowed time.THE SHRILL RING of her phone made all the women closer to clarance to turn around and look at her. Biting back a curse as embarrassment flooded through her veins, she gave a sheepish smile and walked away, digging into her bag. Without checking the caller id, she answered it and put it to her ear, “Now who the fuck is this?” she snarled without any care of who was on the other side listening.A slight chuckle came through the speakers and a thick Russian accent, “Is this how you speak to people that work for you?”Her back stiffened and eyes widened a
