"Did you enjoy the show?" He murmurs close to my ear. "Did watching me make another woman scream my name turn you on so much that you can't stand it?" "N-no," I rasp, feeling my core throb with desire. "I didn't, why would I?" "Just say the word and that can be you. Give into your desires, little minx, and I'll show you what a real man can do." When Avery Jennings finds her best friend and boyfriend in bed together, she promises to get revenge. And what is a better revenge than seducing the father of her cheating boyfriend? After swearing that one day Connor would call her mommy, Avery begins her plan to seduce and conquer the much older, much more mature, and elusive Atlas Jennings. However, doing so turns out to be much more than she bargained for and introduces her to a whole new world she never knew existed. Soon, Avery finds herself in the world where Atlas is determined to tame her wild and impulsive ways. Atlas Jennings has always enjoyed taming women, making them his playthings, and then throwing them aside once they've served his purpose. However, when his son's ex approaches him and attempts to make him hers, he finds that he's weirdly attracted to her confident and seductive nature and decides that he will conquer her to get her out of his mind.
View More[Atlas’ POV]I doze off and on due to the pain medication the doctor prescribed for me after my injury, and from all the energy I exerted fucking Avery for most of the night. Although I knew that being productive would be a better choice, I couldn’t help myself given the sense of comfort that I felt after years of pain.For the first time in such a long time, the world was finally perfect, and I wanted to stay in this little bubble for as long as I could.Rolling over, I inhale Avery’s scent from her pillow before deciding that maybe taking a full-blown nap wouldn’t be too bad. However, before I can even begin to relax enough to fall fully asleep, my cell phone begins to buzz, ruining the moment entirely since I was sure it had something to do with work or was Tonia being irritating due to the fact I hadn't come home after our last confrontation.Frowning, I reach out and grab it, then go on high alert as I take in Duncan’s name on the screen.For a moment, I continue to stare at it
[Avery’s POV]I sit on one side of the kitchen table, staring at Atlas while he easily watches Aiden and me together. In a way, it was infuriating that he was so at ease given the situation, but I was learning that was just Atlas.“Why is he still here?” Aiden asks stubbornly, tightening his hold on my neck. “He should leave before Uncle Gregory comes.”Gregory… A feeling of unease begins to build in me as Atlas’ eyes darken and what happened between Gregory and me the previous night begins to appear.Shit, how was I even supposed to explain this to Aiden?“Listen, sweetheart,” I begin, deciding to be as honest as possible. “Uncle Gregory…” Dammit, how to even explain this to a four-year-old who recently voiced his desire to have the man in question be his father?“Is your brother,” Atlas finishes for me, causing Aiden’s eyes to snap to him. “Due to certain circumstances, he has been taking care of you and your mommy in my stead, but he can never be your true father since that positio
[Avery’s POV]My core throbs with anticipation as I position myself above his dick so that his tip presses against me.“Fuck,” he hisses while I lower myself until he is swallowed whole, and I feel the familiar thrill of fullness that I missed so damn much during the time we weren’t together. "Your walls are still twitching, little minx.”“And whose fault is that?” I ask, placing my hands on his chest and beginning to move. “Who is the one who mercilessly ate me like I was a five-star meal?”“And I’d do it again,” he growls, running his hands across my legs and onto my ass so he could give my ass cheek a good rap that stings in all the right ways. “Because I’ve got five years of pent-up sexual frustration waiting to be released.”Five years… Did that mean that he didn’t touch a single woman the entire time we weren’t together?In a way, that really made me happy since it meant that I was too damn good to forget or replace.“Is it true?" I whimper, quickening my thrusts so he rubs in a
[Atlas’ POV] I keep my gaze fixed on Avery, taking in every nuance of emotion that crosses her features as she desperately tries to hide how she truly feels. Maybe if this had been the past, she would have been able to fool me, but I know her well enough now to recognize the signs. “I know that I fucked up by not fully investigating the claim you died, but please allow me to make it up to you,” I continue. “Let me make it up to Aiden as well for missing out on the first four years of his life. Will you please allow me that much?” “I don’t know,” she whispers, trying desperately to remain strong. “What about your father and Tonia? Do you really think they’ll make being together easy? Look what already happened with Aiden!” Tensing, I try to ignore the sudden feeling of guilt and responsibility that flares up in me. “You also feel that Francine wasn’t working alone?” I ask. “Of course,” she sighs, relaxing on the couch and throwing a leg over the other. “She’s pretty bold, but not
[Avery’s POV]I remain in place as Tonia seethes with rage. It was actually pretty hard to believe that the prim and proper woman I met all those years ago was the woman in front of me now. Had she changed, or was this her the whole time? And if so, did that mean that I was wrong about Atlas this whole time?“Why are you here?” She continues, trying to recompose herself. “Can’t you see that I’m having a conversation with my husband?”Frowning, I look at Atlas’ irritated face and back to Tonia’s crazed one.“I don’t think he’s enjoying whatever you’re discussing,” I point out, crossing my arms. “Don’t you know that no one likes a crazy, clingy woman like you?”“Clingy?” She growls, her eyes flashing with rage. “I’m not…”“You are,” Atlas counters, making his way over to me. “I think I’ve made it clear many times that I don’t wish to remain married to you. Please do take a hint and stop clinging to me.”Smirking, I watch as Tonia’s expression falls.“You don’t mean it,” she whispers, ta
[Atlas’ POV]The sound of machines beeping is the first thing to break through the darkness I’m in. The second is the pain that radiates through every inch of my body, from the tips of my hair down to my toes.Fuck, I felt like I was hit by a damn Mac truck. What the hell happened?As this thought hits, images of what happened before everything went dark begin to come rushing back, causing my eyes to widen before I’m attempting to shoot up, only to find that my body feels like it weighs a ton.“Careful.”The voice causes my anxiety to build even more as I look at where Tonia sits, looking like a concerned wife.For a moment, neither of us speak as she gives me a hopeful look, and my worry over Avery and Aiden continues to grow.Were they okay? If they were, where are they now?“Disappointed?” Tonia finally asks, giving a smirk. "Sorry, I’m not that young girl that you seem to be obsessed with.”I don’t speak as I continue to take Tonia in, wondering exactly what it was that she was up
[Gregory’s POV]“Because I thought it was irrelevant,” I respond, deciding that right now honesty was the best policy if I wanted Avery to continue to believe me. “Would it have made a difference?”If only she knew that I did it for her and Aiden, but I couldn’t possibly reveal my family's secrets.“I don’t know,” Avery admits. “But you lied to me; how am I supposed to trust you after that?”“By allowing me to prove myself.”Honestly, whether she did or not, I always got what I wanted, and if I had to stoop to despicable means, I wouldn’t hesitate. Avery was mine, whether she knew it or not.“How could you just watch him hurt like that and say nothing?” She pushes, not letting it go. “I understand that it allowed me to start to move on, but..."“Would you have gone running back to him if you knew?” I ask, feeling my jealousy beginning to rise. What she saw in that old man was beyond me, but I wasn’t going to allow them to ever be together again. “Even knowing that he is still married
[Avery’s POV]I watch in horror as Atlas lays motionless on the ground in front of me, his back covered in shards of glass and wood from the impact of the condo collapsing.“Atlas,” I hiss, my heart beginning to beat erratically. “Hey, get up; this isn’t funny!”True fear begins to build within me with each minute that passes where he doesn’t move, and when it becomes too much, I pass Aiden to Gregory and then pull my phone from my pocket.“What are you doing?” Gregory demands as I start to dial 911. “You can’t possibly be calling an ambulance!”“I am,” I counter. “What the hell else would I be doing?”“You can’t!” He gasps, yanking my phone from me. “Here, take Aiden. I’ll take dad and call one of our men.”One of their men... Wasn’t this past the line of their men taking care of it?A whole fucking building collapsed, possibly crushing anyone who was still inside! Not to mention that Atlas was severely injured while protecting me and Aiden.“Don’t worry,” Gregory murmurs, pulling ou
[Atlas’ POV]“I don’t give a damn!” Avery snaps, shaking me off. “That bitch has my son!”“Ours,” I correct her.“Whatever,” she puffs, beginning to move again. “You stay here and do whatever the hell you want, but I’m going to get Aiden.”Realizing that there was no reasoning with her, I begin to follow while Dean watches on curiously. I was sure the next time we met, he was going to bombard me with a million questions.“Can I really not convince you to stay behind and let me handle this?” I ask when we reach my car. “I’d feel much..."“No,” she says, cutting me off. “I wouldn’t be comfortable not being able to see Aiden.”Despite her attempt at acting strong, I could easily hear the fear in her voice and see the tears that were threatening to spill. I was going to make sure everyone involved in this little stunt was punished properly when I got my hands on them for putting her through such an ordeal.“Then come on.”Not wasting any more time, I unlock the car and then climb in while
