Nathaniel’s POV"I'm going alone." I muttered, rushing to the locker to pick something to wear. I wore all black with a cap. I checked my phone and noticed the address was sent.I had no choice but to go alone. No police, no agent, nobody....just me. I couldn’t risk them knowing. I couldn’t risk Ava’s life.I grabbed the printed map and stuffed a gun into my waistband, and grabbed my jacket.I quietly sneaked out of the house, got inside it, then slammed the door of my car and started the engine, my mind racing with possibilities. What did Josh want? Why hadn’t he just called for a ransom? Why take her? Hope he didn't touch her sexually.He wanted me. That much was obvious, and he was using Ava as bait. He could break every bone in my body, but if there was even a one percent chance that I could get her back safe… I’d take it.I was ten minutes out of the city before I noticed a car tailing me. It was a Black SUV. It was on
Nathaniel's POVThe CCTV footage came on, through my laptop screen. My heart was beating fast. David stood behind me with his arms crossed. We both leaned in, watching the screen like it held our last hope.There she was in the house wrapped in nothing but my white bedsheet she had over her this morning. Her hair was still messy but she looked...excited. She moved quickly toward the door."She looks like she was expecting someone," David muttered.I gritted my teeth and my jealousy kicked in. "Move back," I snapped, reaching behind me and trying to block his view. "You don't need to see her like that."David scoffed. "Relax, man. I'm not looking at her body. I'm trying to help."I wanted to punch something. I wasn't okay with him seeing Ava half naked. On screen, she opened the door, smiling. But in an instant, her smile vanished and she froze.We couldn’t see who it was yet."Zoom in on the door camera," I said urgently.
"All I wanted was some peace and quiet, cuddled up with Ava." I whined to my reflection in the rear mirror. I barely made it ten minutes down the road before my phone started vibrating nonstop again. Three missed calls from the office, two from Jessica, one from my Father. I pulled over into a side street, resting my forehead against the steering wheel.What the hell was happening to me?I could still taste Ava on my lips. Her moaning echoed in my ears. Her body, warm and molded perfectly against mine, had left an imprint on my skin I was sure wouldn’t fade. And yet, I was being pulled right back into reality. She wasn’t just some girl I was forced to marry anymore. She was... Ava. Someone I thought I didn't find attractive, but is now driving me crazy.I gripped the wheel tighter, trying to shake the image of her asleep in my bed, tangled in the sheets. I meant every damn word I said to her. I wanted more than just a contract. I wanted her. But did she believe me? Did she even want
“Nathaniel?” I called softly again, hoping to get a response. I started feeling stupid for going with the flow yesterday. There was still no answer.I bit my bottom lip and wrapped the bedsheet tighter around my chest, trying to piece together the night before. It felt like I had a one-night stand and my one-night stand left before dawn. Deep down, I started wishing it was a dream. But obviously, it hadn’t been a dream cause I could still feel the dull ache between my legs, the weight of his hands on my skin, the way he kept repeating my name all night long. I stared intensely at the ceiling. What if this had meant something only to me?Suddenly, the bathroom door clicked open. Steam came out as Nathaniel stepped into view, a towel slung low around his hips. I gasped, covering my eyes with the sheets.“You’re awake,” he said with a soft smile, running a hand through his damp hair. "Oh come on! you touched me few hours ago and now you're behaving shocked...like you've never seen me n
"Where are we going to? Hargrave Mansion?" I asked, stretching my hands over his dick as he was driving. "Jesus Ava, you'll get us killed at this rate." He panicked. "I guess you get freaky when you're drunk..." "What do mean I'm not drunk." I removed my hand and pulled back. "You are and..." He froze as I reached for his trouser...trying to unzip him. "You are hard, do you know that?" I lifted my eyes to look at him from below. The car swayed for some seconds. "Please Ava...you need to..." I brought out his hard dick and shoved it into my mouth. He gasped, almost moaning. The car quickly went to the side of the road then he parked. "Oh my God." He exclaimed, as he leaned back on his seat, trying to help me hold my hair up. I looked at him with my eyes as I did it, staring into his eyes and smiling. It was nasty and sloppy. He could hear the wet sounds coming out of my mouth. "Goddamn Ava! I never knew you had this side to you." I chuckled, going in, taking all of him i
"What a disgrace"...."A shame." "Who is she?" "She has no manners."I could hear their gasps, laughter and gossip. Some pulled out their phone and cameras to take pictures or videos of me. Someone said “She’s drunk!” loud enough for half the room to hear.I was frozen, soaked, embarrassed. My once-gorgeous dress now clung to my body, sticky with red wine. My hair was dripping. I didn’t even have the strength to get up. I just stayed there on my knees, palms flat on the cold floor, blinking slowly.Someone took a picture. Someone else laughed. And then I heard a voice I hadn’t expected. “Move.” It was a deep and familiar voice.Before I knew it, firm hands came around me, one lifting my elbow gently. Then something warm and heavy landed on my shoulders. A jacket. A black designer jacket.I looked up slowly...my gaze stopped on Nathaniel's face.He was standing over me, with a cold aura and a tight jaw, but his voice was calm and intimidating. His presence alone made the room fall sil
