AVA DUVAL

The rain slapped against the window pane, the wind ferociously carrying the rain in a frenzied manner.

I walked into the kitchen, a thick nightgown draped down to my legs. My flip flops were furry, but not enough to shelter my legs from the cold.

“It's raining cats and dogs outside. I wonder where Ethan is?” I asked rhetorically.

I hadn't seen a speck of him since the day began, and although his scent lingered around the house as though he were there. I had spent a few months with

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Nightmares Happen at Night

    ETHAN COLE The woods stretched, darkness overshadowing the little light from the moon. I stood in the middle of an isolated place. A strange sense of déjà vu washed over me.My hands were bloody, and my clothes clung to my skin, dripping a thick liquid. I stared around in confusion, my eyes wide in horror. Then I spotted someone. A woman. Winnie. Her eyes were burst, and blood poured from her throat. I stepped back unable to speak. Almost tripping on something, I jerked forward, looking down at the thing — another person. No… I didn't do this.I couldn't. My teammates all lay dead, blood gushing from their necks. Blood suddenly erupted from Lily's throat, splattering across my face. I moved back in a total confusion.Did I do this to my teammates?Am I a monster? Suddenly they all pointed their fingers at me.“If only you didn't take VAR's offer…” they chanted.My body froze. I could hear my heartbeat pounding loud in my ears. Heat spread through my entire body, hot flashe

    AVA DUVAL The rain slapped against the window pane, the wind ferociously carrying the rain in a frenzied manner. I walked into the kitchen, a thick nightgown draped down to my legs. My flip flops were furry, but not enough to shelter my legs from the cold. “It's raining cats and dogs outside. I wonder where Ethan is?” I asked rhetorically. I hadn't seen a speck of him since the day began, and although his scent lingered around the house as though he were there. I had spent a few months with him to observe that his scent always stayed whether he was present or not.I groaned, stretching my arms. Walking to the fridge, I pulled out a jug of Straus family creamery milk. Pouring it into an empty glass, I downed it in one go.Who cared where he was? He could protect himself for all it's worth.Just as I downed the second glass, the light in the kitchen flickered, then out of nowhere, the lights went out. My brows creased in confusion, I waited for the lights to come back on… maybe

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Roses have Thorns

    AVA DUVAL His gaze was intense, his focus almost like a hawk. Every shot tore through the air hitting straight into the heart of the dummies. Sweat rolled down his jaw as he fired another shot. The black vest clung to his frame, every movement of his arms stretching muscle beneath sunlit skin.His breathing was deep, and each time he gasped for air, my stomach flipped.Fucking bastard. How could he look so majestic when shooting literal dummies? Ethan's fingers ran through his hair, his veins stretched out over his hands. I wanted those hands to grip me… .Suddenly, a rush of excitement filled my mind, and the pounding of my heart grew louder. This was fun. The gun powder lingering in the air, the way the bullet broke through space, scattering the dummies. I jerked up, standing to my feet with so much enthusiasm A sudden burst of confidence shot through me as I trot towards him. Ethan turned his head to look at me, gun mid air. His lips tugged into a smug grin. His fingers cu

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Wrong Room, Wrong Maid

    ETHAN COLE Dead silence.My footsteps echoed as I walked through the hallway. My mind had only one goal — to find vital information on Duval's arms technology. If anyplace, it should be in his room. The heaviness of my breathing seemed normal under these circumstances,and while Ava dozed like a child, I was here trying to infiltrate her father's room. No one ever went there, which of course looked suspicious, and calculating how long I had stayed here, it was obvious he hid something there. I stood behind the door that divided me from the room. Slapping on my gloves, I turned the knob, pushing the door open. A small chuckle escaped my lips. “It's a good thing, this place doesn't have a camera.” To be careful, I had slipped on a mask, one belonging to one of their enemies. A mansion this large having no cameras or night guards should've been suspicious. It was far from perplexing. It was as though the system was intended. When I stepped in, I took in the room, the woody

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    This Isn't About Shoes

    ETHAN COLE “Tell me he's single… I bet he isn't.”“Those eyes can bore holes into my soul, and I wouldn't mind…” My eyes twitched as I stood behind Ava, gun in my belt. The noise coming from her friends was, to be honest… insufferable. She nodded occasionally, and rolled her eyes at some of their conversation. “We should go out,” one of them, who referred to herself as Syd, proposed. “Why? I think we're just fine,” Ava said, taking a quick glance at me. My lips tightened while trying to keep a straight face. The last thing I needed was to keep staying around these people. They drained the littlest life out of me although I had absolutely nothing to do with them. “You've been here cooped up with your bodyguard, and I think going out would really be nice for you… especially with all these things that happened to you in the past month,” she explained. Ava looked at me once more, before standing to her feet. Her yellow dress fell to her knees, the floral designs soothing h

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Secrets are Meant to be Hidden

    AVA DUVAL My back sunk into the bed, my breast stood bare while the cloud had completely blinded the moon.Ethan lay beside me, his fingers caressing between my breasts. My breathing was smooth and even, I stared into the darkness unable to sleep. After the training, I took a rather slow shower before treating my injuries. My body still ached, not from the training, but the continuous grinding of my hips. The sweat when I threw my head back moaning and begging for more of Ethan. The incessant throbbing of my clit and now I could barely walk. I turned to Ethan, his large frame made me feel a sense of protection. Our eyes met, his dark glistening eyes stared into my soul as though he was reading every messy thought I had of him. “Aren't you sleepy?” His deep voice reverberated, chills sliding down my spine. I shook my head, moving to rest on his rock hard chest. “What about you?” I asked. Ethan sighed. I could hear the rise and fall of his chest. The slow rhythm of his h
