Angel’s bliss by Dripping Creativity

Zane had forgotten about that, and he swore again, making Ava tense next to him. 

“Problems?” she asked. 

“Yes, well, not for long. I need you to do something today, angel,” he told her and sat up in bed. He watched as she also sat up, holding the sheet to her body to hide it from him. He cocked a brow and smirked. “Do you think I haven’t already seen those amazing tits?” he asked. 

“You may have, but if we are going to talk, I would prefer to not do it naked,” she told him. Zane chuckled and kissed her shoulder. 

“I think you have a good point. I will have a hard time focusing with you naked in front of me,” he agreed. Then he turned serious. “Angel, about last night.” Ava looked at him and nodded. He could see how the relaxed and happy face turned into a more guarded expression. He fucking hated that. It was the first sign of how his world impacted her. “Ryder thinks Olivia had a hand in what happened. to your room,” he told her and watched her closely to see her reaction. He hadn’t been lying when he had told her she had an open face. He could see how she went from surprised, to confused, to upset. Zane wondered if it was a family trait and that it was because of that her uncle always lost when he played cards. 

‘Why? I haven’t done anything to her,” Ava said. 

“I know, angel. She is just jealous. It’s my fault for not protecting you and predict something like thist could happen,” he told her. She looked at him and he was surprised at the determination he saw. 

“It’s not your fault, Zane. I know you think you can control everyone, but you can’t,” Ava said. There was power behind the words. Zane felt oddly moved that she felt it necessary to protect him, even from himself. 

“I’m going to talk to her now. I want you to be there as well,” he told Ava. Sho 

“Me?” 

looked surprised. 

“Yes, I want everyone to know that you can be as tough as the rest of them. It will keep you safe in this world,” he explained. 

“Oh, I guess that makes sense,” she said, worrying her bottom lip. Zane used his thumb to gently pull the lip away from her teeth.

“If you do this, I need you to be tough and strong. Inside that room, there will be no room for pity or compassion,” he told her bluntly. 

“What will you do to her if it was her?” 

“Angel, I have told you we don’t hurt women, not even women like her. She will be banned from the mansion and all of our businesses. That will be a hard blow for a woman like her.” 

“Okay, when is the meeting?” 

“You still have time for a shower and to get ready. Tell me what you want to wear, and I’ll get it from your room,” he told her. 

“Wouldn’t it be quicker if we showered together?” Ava asked and stunned Zane. When his brain had processed the fact that his angel had asked him to shower with her, he gave her a wicked smile. 

“I wouldn’t bet on it, but I think we should try and see,” he said. He got a sunshine smile back from her as she giggled and crawled out of his bed and let go of the sheet as she walked to the bathroom. The sunlight from the windows cast a warm glow on her naked body, and her unruly hair created a halo effect around her head. As she got to the bathroom door, she stopped and looked back at Zane. 

“Are you coming?” she asked. Zane was out of the bed and standing behind her in record time. 

“Not yet, but we’ll fix that issue soon,” he growled as Ava giggled.
