Ava looked at the clock again, nervous and impatient about her meeting with Björn. She put both hands to her cheeks when she felt them blush as she remembered that she had confessed to him to have feelings for him. But at the same time, she kept thinking about Christine's words in the office two hours ago.-Miss Gray," Ava jumped in her seat and realized that Thomas was standing next to her. -I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. -Ava quickly denied.-No, no, I'm fine. -Thomas smiled.-I'll take you straight to Mr. Hoffmann. Please follow me. -She nodded and followed him to the armored car. Thomas opened the door and waited for her to get in. Ava frowned as she saw that they had left the hotel grounds..- Where are we going? -Ava sounded anxious.-Mr. Hoffmann asked me to take you somewhere. I can't give you any more information than that, Miss Gray.-Mr.Ava leaned against the back of the couch, her heart pounding, looked at her cell

His words echoed in the room. Björn turned his face slowly to Ava, who was pale. -She took it upon herself to disappear you, she..." Björn stood up, throwing the chair roughly behind his back. It fell with a clatter against the marble floor. - She tried to sell you like you were worthless! They drugged you, stripped you naked, and put you up for sale! -Ava gasped and put both hands to her mouth to cover them. Tears began to fall down her pale cheeks. The nightmare she had had that night wasn't just a dream, and it had happened. She looked at Björn's reddened face, and it looked like she was about to explode right there. -I looked for you, I found you and...-Björn left his hands on the table, he lowered his head.-You bought me?" -Ava's trembling voice moved every fiber of her being. She raised her head and looked at her.-I had to, I wasn't going to let someone buy you, take you away and abuse you, and who knows what else would have happened...-she

Björn had given the house staff directions, that he didn't want anyone hanging around the place unless he needed them, so he ordered breakfast and went back for Ava in the bedroom. She was sitting on the edge of the big bed, wrapped in the silk sheet. Björn had on only pajama pants falling from her waist. He stopped at the door and watched her in profile, and she had something in her hands.- Is something wrong? -he asked with a furrowed brow. She turned her face and the wavy brown hair, falling down her chest, bit her lip, and he noticed the blush on her cheeks. -Speak, Miss Gray.-It's no claim, but you've left me without panties. -He raised his eyebrows, remembering the exact moment when her hands did the tug, tearing them entirely off. He stepped closer until he was facing her. Ava lifted the fabric of the panties between the two of them.-Look," she then lowered them to her lap and smiled with cheeks more flushed than a few moments ago.-I'

Ava paced back and forth thinking about what Björn's mother would be saying to her. How had desire-driven them? She asked herself that question over and over again. The door to the room opened, and Björn appeared.- Are you ready? -she nodded quickly.- ¿The Mrs. Miller?"Björn noticed her concern.-My mother is fine, don't worry," he paused, casting a fleeting glance at the clock. -I'll change, and we'll go. -Ava nodded. He moved closer until he was facing her, leaned toward her ear, and whispered: "Did you like the panties?She gasped. The warmth of Björn's body pierced her warmly.-Yes, thank you. -she said a little, shaken, then bit her lower lip, "Why did he turn me on with just one question?" she mentally asked herself.-Good," he smiled without her seeing him, straightened up, and left her to get dressed. -Breath, Ava," she whispered to herself as she disappeared into the closet.Fifteen minutes later,

Ava had been lost in her own thoughts without realizing that Björn had arrived at the office, she let out a sigh that made her snap out of it, looked up and saw him.- What did he say to you, Christine?" asked Björn, crossing his arms. He was still furious inside, but he didn't care about the others, but about Ava.-He informed me of the announcement of his...-Ava wrinkled her brow, -commitment.Björn walked over to her and sat back on his heels, took her hand and stroked her knuckles gently.-You know what will happen, ignore Christine.-When she sets her mind to it, she's kind of.....-Toxic. -He completed the sentence for her. -I've known her for years and quite well.- Did you have a thing with her? -Ava was curious.-Yes. But it was a passing thing. She wanted something official and I didn't.-And now that there is something official between the two of them, she shouts it from the rooftops.-Bu
