“Which is?” I let go of her hand and took a step back.
“My job is to protect. I’ve been doing it since she was four years old and in the grips of that horrible woman. You seemed nice that night at the bar, and Ava felt it. I was merely checking you out for myself. I’m sorry. I broke the rules, and it shouldn’t have happened. But it did, and we both need to forget and move on. Deal?” She extended her hand.
“Deal.” I placed my hand in hers.
“Besides, I never thought we’d see you again, but here we are.” She smiled.
She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them, she stared at me.
“Welcome back.” I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
“Freya?” she asked.
“Yeah. She apologized for that night at the bar.”
Ava pushed away from me and placed her hands on her head.
“I’m sorry. My God, what you must think.”
“Ava, stop it.” I wrapped one arm around her waist and brought my finger up to her lips. “It’s okay.” I lowered my head and brushed my lips against hers.
Our soft kiss turned passionate, and I swooped down, picked her up, and carried her upstairs to my bedroom. Pushing the straps of her dress off her shoulders, it fell to the ground, and my cock grew in length as I stared at her sexy body. I had never wanted any woman the way I wanted her.

Ava
It was six a.m. when Grayson jumped up and grabbed his pager from the nightstand.
“What is it?” I sleepily asked.
“It’s the hospital. I have to get ready and go. Go back to sleep.” He kissed my shoulder as I rolled over.
I lay there, eyes wide open, while he took a quick shower. Climbing out of bed, I slipped into last night’s dress.
“You don’t have to leave,” he said as he walked out of the bathroom. “Make a cup of coffee and relax.”
“I have a client meeting at eleven,” I spoke.
“Then you’re in no rush.” He smiled as he threw on some clothes, and we went downstairs.
“Are you sure you don’t mind if I stay for a bit?”
“Not at all. Just lock the door when you leave.” He kissed my lips. “I’ll call you later.”
I made a cup of coffee and took it outside on the patio. It was a beautiful morning as the sun rose over the ocean. I thought about last night as I sat in the lounger with my hands wrapped around the white mug. My body was still on fire from the things he did to me.
“Good morning,” Simon said as he walked over.
“Good morning.”
“Is Grayson around?”
“No. The hospital paged him. I’m leaving as soon as I finish this cup of coffee. Can I make you one?”
“No, thanks. I saw you sitting out here, so I thought I’d stop by for a minute before I head to work. I heard about your—” he paused, and I could tell he was uncomfortable.
“Condition.” I smiled.
