Zayed was still reeling from the kiss he shared with Ava when the car entered the palace in Zidra. Once Ava left he decided it would be better for him to leave the UK for the weekend or else he might go after her to complete what he started. He still can't believe he had lost control over his feelings, the tightly held feelings which he never showed anyone in the past six years. Ava is a virus, he decided, and it has spread completely through his blood that he can't think of anything else. What madness has caused him to transfer her to his floor. What madness has caused him to keep her around. He must be absolutely insane if he thought he could get away with making her uncomfortable. It was he who felt uncomfortable whenever she was around. The effect she has on his libido is very dangerous and if he didn't start thinking with his head, he would be absolutely lost. As he reached the main visitors room in Ahmed Palace, he stopped dead on his tracks seeing the man with whom Salim
Six years ago Zidra palace had held Zayed's art exhibition.He had lost his inspiration after the multiple betrayals he faced in his life and Aveline had helped him get back to art.He had painted portraits after portraits of Aveline, capturing every beautiful expressions of her captivating faceAnd Aveline had attended the exhibition and obviously the media people recognised her.His muse, they called her.They wanted to know more about her and they had surrounded her asking her questions after questions in their native language. Aveline didn't knew Arabic. He had come to her rescue but had lashed out on her.He simply was furious on her behalf. Not on her.He didn't consider the possibility that Aveline would think that he was furious on her for interrupting the exhibition. That thought never crossed his mind"Why Salim? What was the need for all that. That too keeping it a secret from me. You knew right, it doesn't matter to me whether she knows Arabic or not." Zayed asked in a
Ava settled her little munchkins for the night after reading them three stories, one of each of her kid's choice.Well, two were stories and the third one was an article on dinosaurs, which Zian love to hear. Zahir and Zada simply has to endure itKate had gone for a business trip from her company for two days and as she settled in the living room she thought about the day's events.It was a Saturday. Usually it was not a school day, but today her kids had school as there was some orientation class organized for the kids.All day she was alone and her mind kept playing the kiss she shared with Zayed, repeatedly.She willed herself to not think about Zayed and directed her thoughts to her kids and what had happened today.Ava was tying Zada's hair in two pigtails when she noticed the two little heads huddled together.She could literally see trouble written all over their face and she sighed not knowing what was awaiting her.As usual Zian had forgotten to wear his underwear. How coul
20. "Missed me?" Zayed asked with the devilish smirk intact on his face. "What the hell are you..." she started to say but he cut her off, simply by taking her into his arms and covering her angry mouth with his. His kiss was hot, sexy and so blatantly erotic there was nothing Ava could do but kiss him back. Her hands gripped the front of his shirt. His hands, which had been holding both sides of her face, moved down to pull her against him, to show her that he was just as affected by the kiss as she was. By the time he lifted his head, Ava was clinging to him, her mind a jumble and her voice whimpering with need, she'd thought she was ready to resist if he ever tried to kiss her again. Damn! What a delusional idiot she was? Ava pulled back just far enough, then with all of her might, she swung out her hand, smacking him hard on his cheek. Her hand stung from the impact it made and she could see the red imprint of her hand on his cheek and the shocked look in his eyes, bu
"Don't hurt my momma!" Zahir yelled out, adding a whole new dimension to the chaos. His chubby little hands were fisted at his sides and he was in obvious fighting mode with a clear line of sight to Zayed"Zahir" she started to say, only to see Zian dropping his frogs down as he noticed the man in the kitchen and to turn his fight mode on. Both her boys stood on her either side glaring at the man in the kitchen. And her little girl, Zada hugged her legs and turned around to glare at the intruderAva glanced at Zayed. All she saw was an almost naked man with a knife in his hand, staring at the three little munchkins with a stunned expression on his face. "Don't just stand there, Zayed, go put some clothes on!"He looked down at her, then back at the kids, then down at himself. Something must have gotten through because he looked back at the kids and nodded curtly before moving off to the bedroom. While bending down to try and catch the disgusting, jumping blobs, she glanced up at
"How could you?? How dare you??" Zayed asked through clenched teeth, his eyes spitting fire.."How dare I??" Ava asked back in a deceptively calm voice."How dare you come here and look at me like a wounded animal after all what you have done to me??" Ava asked her voice rasing with each word.Zayed was momentarily entranced by the fire in her eyes, the up and down heaving of her chest and the angry reddish coloring spreading across her smooth as satin skin."You are not needed here Zayed. You may leave" she said pointing at the door and Zayed was fuming.How dare she?? How dare she ask him to leave now that he has found out about his kids"You hid my kids from me for the past six years. And you are asking me to leave" Zayed asked in disbelief "You are a commitment phobe Zayed. And babies are the biggest commitment in the world. You may as well leave when you have the chance. And I won't let anyone hurt my kids. Not even their father" she said with absolute conviction "If you think
Zayed jerked away with a wince when he felt a pricking pain on both his thighs, and he looked down to see the two little boys biting on his thighs and the little girl trying to wriggle herself in between him and Aveline"Don't touch my momma" the little girl yelled at him and kicked him in the shin.He looked at her horrified."Zada, baby, no. You don't treat you elders like that. Zahir, Zian. Let him go" Aveline said in a trembling voice. Zada!! His daughter "He was trying to eat you momma" one of the boys said, his face softening when he looked worriedly at his mother."He wasn't baby" Aveline said gently "Your momma was in pain. And I was giving her a medicine" Zayed lied and saw the kids frowning at him and then turning to Aveline questioningly."Were you in pain momma?" the same boy asked and Aveline nodded without looking at them."Are you okay now momma." Zada asked and Aveline again nodded."Thank-you for helping our momma. But now she is fine. And you can go" the other bo
Ava sighed.She couldn't possibly drag it on any longer.The time has come.The moment she had dreaded for a very long time. She had expected the triplets to ask about their father at some point. But they never did so far. And she always wondered why they never thought about their father.And it did make her feel guilty at times.She shouldn't, but she did.Does that make her a fool?Damn yes!!But then she had always been a fool where Zayed Ahmed is concerned.She had convinced herself over the past six years that she has gotten over him. That she had moved on.Easy to say when he is nowhere near.But who was she kidding?She never stopped loving the man!!And that makes her all the more idiotic!!She looked up to see the kids still glaring at a frustrated Zayed"Sweeties! This is Zayed" she said gently looking at the kids."So??" Zian asked and Ava huffed in exasperation. "I have something important to tell you about Zayed" Ava said softlyAva led them all to the couch in the livi
