” Run my little kitten, run! Soon enough, I’ll have you where I want you to be.” Ava thought with a smirk. She wondered how long he’ll have to escape her? Will he last long before succumbing to the temptation? ? She’ll Just wait and watch.
If he wants to play, then she’ll play along. ‘ two can play this game Ronald.’ Ava thought, taking her seat.
The two ate their lunch in silence. Ronald enjoyed everything his woman had prepared for him. He could even taste love in the dishes or was that ridiculous? He wished that the rest of his days could be spent just like this. He and Ava, seated together, sharing everything in life together.
” When are we going to pick your stuff from your house?” Ronald asked. It would do him good if Ava could wear at least a dress. That could cover her a little More. ” What’s the hurry? I find your clothes comfortable.” Ava’s reply came with a subtle wink.
” You can’t be going to the company wearing my clothes.” Ronald reasoned out loud, the truth was he just couldn’t stomach another person seeing Ava like this.
” Okay, I will go later. I need to rest now.” Ava said, pouting. What’s wrong with him? Can’t he see that she was in mission mode? ‘ mission seducing my boss’
” Okay, I’ll head upstairs so you can rest.” Ronald said and dashed upstairs not wanting to spend one more minute with her. Ronald admonished himself. Why was he even acting like a scaredy cat? It’s not like Ava was some carnivorous animal? Wasn’t he the one who fought tooth and nail to bring her to his house? Then what exactly changed? Wasn’t he a hypocrite calling Justin coward? Wasn’t he the Coward now? He could only sigh and shake his head for his absurdity.
Stripping his clothes, he entered the bathroom. His aim was to take a cold bath and relieve himself. His c**k had been hurting like shit. He was damn sure if things continued this way, he was bound to have blue balls.
Ava who had watched Ronald running upstairs with a smirk tiptoed upstairs and into Ronald’s room. She comfortably laid herself on the bed and pretended to sleep but the anticipation of seeing how Ronald would react seeing her in his bed wouldn’t let her sleep. Thirty minutes later, Ronald was done showering and stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
He was so engrossed in drying himself that he did not notice the intruder in his room. Walking to his closet, he picked comfy slacks and a t-shirt. He removed his towel casually and disappointment hit Ava. She was expecting him to be naked underneath so that she can have an eye feast of his toned body and butt.
‘ ! Why are you so disappointing? ‘ she lamented but Ronald smirked inwardly. He was a mafia Lord so how could he not feel the presence of another person in his room. Since she wanted to be sneaky, he’ll entertain her.
After he finished dressing, he walked back to the bed maintaining a straight face to mask the excitement he felt seeing her in his bed. ” What are you doing here? ” He asked flatly.
” To rest of course, why else would I be here?” Ava retorted, bouncing the question back to him.
” I don’t know, you tell me.” Ronald said, pissing Ava.
” I said I wanted to rest so here I am resting.”
” You can rest anywhere, why in my room?”
” I happen to like this room the most,” she replied, smirking at him, then without warning, pulled Ronald to herself.” Now lie with me, don’t be such a dick.” Ava said.
” Is that an invitation?” He asked, looking directly into her eyes. Looking at him at such a close range, Ava realised that the Man before her was a piece of art. He had the most beautiful silver orbs she has ever seen. It was very rare to find someone with silver coloured eyes. His jaws were well sculpted not to mention his sharp nose bridge. His eyelashes were thick causing Ava to be jealous of him. Out of reflex, Ava found herself trailing her fingers in his face admiring each and every part of his angel-like features.
” You are very beautiful.” She said, still in a daze. Those words brought Ronald back to fourteen years ago.
” Tell me Ava, do you remember me? Do you remember how we First met?” He found asking the question involuntarily but still yearned to hear her reply.
” You mean three weeks ago or twelve years ago?” Ava replied with another question.
” I mean fourteen years ago, you were ten years old by then.” Ronald replied and could see the confusion in her mind displayed in her eyes.
‘ she didn’t remember,’ he concluded.
” I First saw you back at the village when you saved me from… from…” She couldn’t say it out loud. Thinking of it gives her the chills.
” That was the second time we saw each other.” Ronald cut her short.
” Really? I don’t remember ever meeting you before that day.” She replied, still confused.
” Forget about it if you don’t remember .” He said Ava still sensed the disappointment in his voice but she wouldn’t dwell on the past, she wanted to know what was awaiting for them in the future.
” Now it’s my time to ask you questions, Ronald.” Ava said.
” Aren’t you tired?” Ronald said, smiling at her.
” Don’t try and change the subject Ron, I want to Know why you brought me here? Don’t give me the shit of it’s business, I won’t buy that.” Ava asked, looking him straight in the eye.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
” What did you just call me Ava?” Ronald asked, leaving Ava puzzled.
” Ron?” Ava said not so sure what he was asking about.
” Do you know how sweet it sounds coming from you? Damn it, I am getting a hard on just hearing that.” Ronald said.
” Come on Ron , I am being serious here.” Ava facepalmed. Of all things she said, was that the only thing he heard?
