"Fight me.Deny me."He said stopping her."But you will come to me,and when you do you'll beg me to take you.On your knees."She shivered at the thought. "And this time around I'll have you tied to my bed,bending over with your legs spread while I f**k you from behind.Hard.."He hissed at the end.His words shouldn't affect her so much that she was close to shouting a loud yes. She dashed off before he could utter another provocative word that will have her agreeing to anything he says.
The whole day she was on tenterhooks,she didn't even dare leave the sanctuary of the twins's room just in case he was around. She knows he had left hours ago but he has her nerves on high alert,so much so that any noise she hears makes her jump.She can't wait to get home,far away from him.The thought of their paths having to cross again later on didn't sit well on her.But all she has to do is stay upstairs and keep away from the activities that will take place downstairs.
Margaret came to inform her that the twins's dinner is ready."We'll be right down.Come on girls time for dinner then your bath." Times like these she misses Alexa and Alexis.Alex always gives her a hard time probably because he's the only boy.
Catalina came into the kitchen while she was busy giving the girls their food. "Avery,I have to go out for a while and I'm taking Margaret with me.Can you hold the forth and make sure nothing goes wrong.We'll only be gone an hour two most will you manage."
Avery smiled."Don't worry about me there's nothing I can't handle."
"Thanks you're a star."She kissed each of the twins."Alexandro is coming please make sure everything in the guest room is ready.It's Margaret job but I'm taking her.He's very demanding and strict about his things.When his suit arrives for tonight's dinner party personally take it upstairs and leave it on the bed."
Avery's smiled instantly faded away when she heard she has to go and ensure everything is ready for him.She wants nothing to do with that man,he unsettles her in every way possible.The last thing she wanted is to be in a room he'll be using.She gave an inward groan at the thought.
"Señor Cano's room is ready for the night.I already saw to it señora I know how he likes his things to be in order."Avery breathed a sigh of relieve,but that relieve was short lived when Catalina said.
"His suit will be delivered just take it upstairs."Avery hopes the suit will arrive before he does.She wonders why he wants to get ready here.Doesn't he have a place of his own.Anyway it's not any of her business all she is,is an employee nothing else and if she doesn't wanna lose her job and be out on the streets she better keep her mouth shut and do her work.
Alex is no one to her.He means nothing,so his presence shouldn't bother her in the least. Whenever he's around she should go on defense mode and remember the day when he'd so coldly slam a check in her hand and thanked her for a fantastic weekend.She must protect herself from him and the triplets too if she doesn't she can lose her babies.For good.
She's taken the twins for a walk in the garden out back,Avery had made sure to tire them out before their bath she knows once they gonna hit the pillow they'll be gone.Catalina and Margaret still isn't back,and Mr arrogant's suit hasn't arrived yet.A soft knock on the nursery door brought her back to earth it was one of the staff that manages the house."Mr Cano's suit ma'am."Avery took it she has no clue why her hands are shaking.
She would've asked the woman to take it to the guest room but Catalina had said she should personally take it.Making sure the twins are asleep she headed out.Her palms are sweaty it only happens when she's nervous. What if he's here she thought.No if he had been he would've made sure she knows he's here.Gently she opened the door and stepped inside,she held her breath as she scanned the room to make sure he isn't present after a minute she breathed easy and walked up to the bed where she laid down the garment bag.
Her cell rang in the back pocket of her jeans she nearly jumped out of her skin at the noise.She needs to calm down being so jumpy and on edge isn't good for her heart but how can she be calm when the one man she thought she'd never see is back again and he wants to buy her as if she's for sale.To make things worse deep down she wanted to say yes and accept whatever absurd proposal he has."Yes Claire."She answered.
"Avery your sister is here and refuses to leave.I told her you not here but she won't listen she insists she wants to wait for you. Should I let her in."
Great just what she needed Nicole and her never ending drama."No Claire. Whatever you do don't let Nicole in."If that happens Nicole can easily take advantage of Claire.Is that her...she heard Nicole say."Let me talk to her Claire." Lord knows what Nicole is up to now.
"Avery.I have to see you.It's urgent."
"I'm at work Nikki."She said."We'll talk later."
"Don't hang up."For the first time ever she heard fear in her sister's voice."Sis I'm in trouble."
"Oh Nicole."She groaned."What have you done now."
"I kinda loan some money from someone and now they want it back.With interest.If I don't pay they gonna kill me Avery."
She'd known this would happen,it has only been a matter of when. Her sister always hangs out with the wrong crowd and play dangerously.Now she's dragged her into her mess."Nicole.You can't do this to me.Not now."
"Avery please."Nicole begged."I need your help.You the only person who can help me."
Just when things are going right, her sister wants to come and ruin it.
She gave a defeated sigh."How much is it."Avery almost fainted when she heard the amount she had to take a seat on the bed. "Dammit Nicole!How on earth can you borrow so much money when you know you don't have it.Where do you think I'm gonna get that much money."
"Your new boss is rich.I'm sure if-..."
"I can't believe you just said that." Avery said angrily down the line. "This is your mess,now you expect me to make debt only to pay off your d**g debts.I don't even know why I bother with you Nicole.Cause you never learn or listen to me."
"I'm sorry sis but I'm desperate.I have no one to turn to.And these people are dangerous."Avery could feel an impending headache surfacing.Where on earth is she gonna get that much money,her savings is no near enough it won't even cover half.
"You should've thought about that before you got involved with them.How can you drag me into this knowing very well I have kids to take care of.We struggling as it is."
"You wouldn't have to if you find their father and take him to court.It's not your responsibility only to provide for them."
"After everything I've done for you.This is how you thank me by talking rubbish.Get someone else to help you."She hung up the phone before she could utter another word.It rang again a second later Avery dropped the call.
Despite her sister's actions she can't throw her to the wolfs even though she should.Time and time again she's told Nicole to get help before she was gonna land into serious trouble.And look it has happen.Oh god she's gonna have to come up with a plan.Where will she find that kind of cash.Who will help her. She stood,she's got work to do and thinking about the mess Nicole has put her in won't help.
Upon reaching the door it swung open so fast that she retreated backwards.Just flipping great she thought as she stared into Alex's gorgeous gaze.He looked surprised to see her but it slowly got replaced with interest.
"Waiting for me corazon."His sexy voice resonated throughout her body making her skin tingle.
"Don't flatter yourself.I brought your suit."She was about to stalk past him but he blocked her way.
"Why the rush Amber."
"Stop calling me that."She said.
He grinned."I like calling you that." She knew he was only trying to provoke her,he wanted to push her into a corner,get her all riled up but she won't give him that satisfaction.
She shrugged."Fine.Call me whatever you like.Now please excuse me I need to get back to work."He shut the door and locked it.Her nerves shot up."W-what are y-you doing?"She asked in a trembling voice,instead of answering her he slowly stalked over to her.
Avery's heart began to slam against her breastbone,each step he took toward her she back tracked."A-alex I need to get back to the twins."
"Aah..."He mocked."She knows my name."His smile broaden.She cursed under her breath when her legs hit the bed.His closeness made her dizzy,weak not only that her body is calling out to him.The tightness of her n*****s,the throb between her legs the burning of her skin,even her lips a slightly parted ready to be kissed by him. What is it about this man that draws her to him,he doesn't even have to touch her for her to want him."Afraid..?"She shook her head not trusting her own voice."Bring me a cup of coffee.Black with one sugar."She was caught of guard by his request but immediately ran for the door.How dare he think she'll make coffee for him.In fact how dare he order her around as if she works for him.The man is beyond full of himself.While making his coffee Catalina and Margarita arrived.
"Is Alex here?"She asked Avery.
"He just arrived."Avery answered. "He asked me for a cup of coffee, I'll be right back."
"No problem.Are the twins in bed."
"Yes.It isn't long since I put them to bed."She responded.
"That's great because I'm gonna need you to help serving the guests.One of the staff called in sick and it's short notice to get anyone else.That is if you don't mind."
"No of course not."Although she'll get home super late,she's gonna have to call Claire and let her know.
"Thanks Avery.You're a godsend. What would I do without you.I promise you'll be handsomely rewarded for all your hard work."
"It's no problem at all Catalina.I should thank you for placing your trust in me and giving me a chance."
"And I would do it again."She told her with a warm smile."You better get going with brother's coffee.He hates cold coffee."Avery needed no further instructions and if Mr Arrogant isn't too pleased with her coffee then he can do it himself. She knocked softly on the door before entering,slowly she peeked inside to see where he was.
She almost called out his name but stopped just in time.He's the boss's brother she should respectfully call him by his last name.Their one time encounter shouldn't make her forget how far a part they truly are."Mr Cano..?"She softly called.The bathroom door swung open and he stepped out,Avery squealed nearly dropping the tray to cover her eyes when she saw he was butt n***d.
She knows the decent thing to do is to look away but for the life of her she couldn't,this man is too magnificent.From his handsome face to his good physique such beauty doesn't deserve to be hidden.Her gaze ran from his big broad shoulders and chest,down to his narrow waist her eyes lingered a little longer on his abs how she wished she could ran her fingertips over them.All those long hours in the gym paid of for him to be looking so..so,there isn't a word to describe how insanely good looking he is.Is this how all alpha males look or is just him.
Could it be he is distantly related to some sort of God for him to be so gorgeous.No one has a right to look this good.His body has changed compared to two years ago.He's more muscle,even from across the room she can feel his dominance.And the strength of him down there is more bigger or is it her imagination.Dear lord,she swallowed the lump in her throat only looking at him being all wet and dripping water is making her hot.She's flushing from head to toe,suddenly it was too hot.The tray felt more heavier and her knees are wobbly.
Desire and passion took over a passion so strong that if he can walk up to her this very second she won't resist him."I can hear what you thinking Stormy."That sexy voice made her even hotter.
Immediately she averted her gaze and turned around.A moment of weakness has given him the key to see how she truly feels.
Avery wanted to kick herself for openly admiring his sexiness."Do you mind putting on some clothes."Is that her voice sounding so strained.No...it couldn't be.She set the tray down on the nightstand."On second thought, don't bother I'm on my way out."She spun around and made impact with his broad frame, knocking her off balance.
She was forced to grip his muscular biceps to steady herself."What's the hurry Amber.I thought you liked the view."
