Avery's POVEthan reached back into his pocket and pointed a gun at Marcella. I felt my breathing stop for a second."Ethan! She is pregnant, for goodness sake! What are you doing?!" I yelled, trying to process the scene in front of me."What exactly is your plan?" Ethan roared, ignoring me and still pointing the gun at a visibly frightened Marcella.Without thinking,I rushed in front of Marcella and spread my arms in front of her. "Are you insane? She only came to ask for help!""Avery,move." Ethan warned,his eyes serious.I shook my head in disagreement. "No way! Why are you trying to hur—""My baby!" Marcella gasped, and I turned just in time to catch her from falling. "My stomach hurts,my baby.."she whispered with her face scrunched up in pain as a lone tear fell from her eye."Sir!" I looked up to see Marcus rush into the bedroom with a look of panic in his face. "Sir,she is not a sp—""Shut up and take her out of here." Ethan interrupted in a solemn voice. Marcus stepped forward

Avery's POVThis is the first time I have ever made the first move. Ethan first stood, unmoving and unresponsive, as I moved my lips against his. I tried again, but there was still no response from him. Feeling a new level of embarrassment,I moved to pull away, but a gasp left my lips as Ethan pulled me flat against him,his arm caging me before his lips covered mine. The kiss was so electrifying, and a moan left me as our tongues slid against each other. We only pulled away when I was almost out of breath.We both stared at each other, trying to catch our breaths.He gave a small laugh. "Is this your way of getting me to stay for the night?"I sheepishly nodded,unable to take my eyes off him. "Maybe.""Let's go inside, lest you get a cold."Marcus came forward and held out a key. "Sir,how about—""Cancel the reservation, Marcus." Ethan interrupted and faced me as he spoke. "There is no need to stay somewhere else tonight.""Yes sir."We both went back to the bedroom. The bedroom was q

Avery's POV“Oh my goodness! How are we going to get inside? The whole place is packed with people and the press.” Anita complained, looking outside the window.A tired sigh left me. I was already feeling tired from cooking for the villagers,which was a hectic task already. We were only able to return just an hour before the after party because I made pasta and fried chicken,which required fewer steps.Anita assisted in serving while I made arrangements for a souvenir company to arrange some gifts and deliver them to the villagers. While waiting for the souvenir company,I made dried hibiscus flower drinks for the villagers. Thankfully,the souvenir company arrived in two hours, which was considered fast since the village was a good distance from the city. For the men and women,I gifted them some skincare products and perfumes, while the children received books, drawing materials, and toys. For the few elderly people who were present,I shared some herbal tonics and tea. The villagers bu

Avery's POV“Long enough to admire your enchanting beauty, kitten.” He mummured, placing an open mouthed kiss on my neck, biting and sucking on my skin. I am sure he is going to leave hickeys on my skin.I felt my breathing grow rapidly. “Ethan..” I panted as I felt his erection against my ass. I had to hold the railings to prevent myself from falling.“Yes?” He answered,pushing his erection into my ass. Almost instinctively,I grinded back against him, and I felt a sense of control fill me as I heard the animalistic groan from him.“Kitten,stop.” He panted,his voice ragged as if he were injured.“No.” I responded and grinded harder into him. It was dangerous, but it left a thrill in me, and I continued,my panties getting drenched too.“Then you leave me no option.” He growled,the sound traveling straight to my core.Before I could react,his hands went forward and bunched up my gown to my waist. I felt the night breeze hit my bare skin.“What are you—ooh!” I gasped as I felt two long fi

Ethan's POVThere is no way I am telling Avery I had her phone bugged before handing it to her.“Jeffrey told me about it.” I quickly lied, mentally thanking Jeffery.“Ohh,” She drawled absentmindedly, and I nodded,drawing circles on her thighs.“That's why you need your position and stance known.”“Still, nobody can bring up those silly marriage arrangements for us. They need us, not the other way around. And to be fair,I think Lucas likes Felicity,so I don't mind.”I smiled in victory. She mentioned us—not they know you or Kings but us. I want to kiss her till she is out of breath or something, but that's for later. Fuck,this woman is going to be the end of me! I continued rubbing her smooth thighs while keeping up the conversation with her.“There is an invitation for a tea meeting from the billionaire's wife's women's club. Would you be going?”“I..I don't think so.” She stuttered, looking distracted. “What kind of group is that? The name already sounds weird.” She added. I could
