down to my pussy.
“Jesus Ava, you have beautiful tits” he breathed against my skin as I
frantically rode him over our clothes.
     My arousal
was peaking and I yanked at his ponytail, pulling his head back so I could
latch on to his neck. I moaned loudly as I sank my teeth into him and he
growled and grabbed my hips. “Fuck, I need to be inside you” he snarled and
just as I reached down to unzip him, a loud knock came to the door.
     
    “Fuck!” I
panted and shot off him, pulling my robe tightly around myself and I turned
away from him.
    “Shift
change” he informed me and I nodded but didn’t turn round.
    What the
hell had happened? I had just screamed at Mason for cheating on me even though
he had steadfastly denied it and I was practically fucking my bodyguard on the
kitchen floor.
    “Ava…”
Elijah said softly but I shook my head.
    “No, please
go” I choked out. I heard him sigh but he left, swapping notes and information
with Neo before he closed the door behind him.
     
     “You okay,
Ava?” Neo asked from behind me.
    I took a
deep breath and plastered a smile on my face and turned to him. “Yep, how are
you Neo?”
    He eyed me
sceptically but finally smiled. “Yeah I’m good.”
    I nodded.
“Listen, I’ve had a rough day so I’m gonna turn in” I said and he frowned at me.
    “Are you
sure you’re feeling all right?”
    I nodded
again “Just tired, night.”
    I didn’t wait
for his reply as I took the stairs two at a time, exploded into my bedroom and
collapsed on the bed.
     
    I didn’t
need this. I had been adamant I wouldn’t let anybody else in but I had been so
aroused and past the point of no return that I didn’t stop to think what the
huge consequences would be if I had had sex with Elijah.
    He was my
personal guard for God’s sake, I paid him and all his cronies every week and
then there was Mason, always there in my mind. I still loved him so much and it
was hard to just shut him out, my mind wouldn’t let me shut him out and my body
craved him so desperately.
    My soul
hungered for him and my heart ached for him, so painfully and achingly. I had
tried many times before to stop loving him but I knew I would never stop loving
him as long as my lungs drew breath.

CHAPTER 8
     
    I didn’t see
Elijah for the next few days, the shifts were covered by Neo and Frank and I
was told Elijah was ill, and I highly doubted it but I was grateful for his
consideration and discretion.
     
    Monday morning
came round quickly and I found myself sobbing as I left my babies in the hands
of the nursery nurses who were looking after them both.
    They reached
out to me with their podgy little hands for a Mummy kiss and I sucked gummily
on them and then turned quickly and left before they were yanked back out of
their carer’s, Hayley, arms.
     
    I climbed
back in the car to an amused Neo. “I’m sure they’ll be fine, Ava” he said and
he chuckled at my tear stained face and pulled away from the curb after he
waved to a new guy who was put at the nursery to protect my babies, Elijahs
idea, and I was indebted to him for his initiative, I could relax knowing they
were being watched over.
     
    We pulled
into the NSC car park and Neo and I entered the building and I approached
Samantha for any mail and messages for Nate.
     I heard Neo
groan beside me and I glanced at him. “You okay?” I asked with a frown and he
nodded slightly towards Samantha. “Shark with tits” he mumbled and I frowned
and then realisation sunk in and I laughed loudly.
    “I didn’t
know you knew her” I said after I calmed down.
    He nodded.
“Olivia Carter was once my charge and Samantha practically ate me alive every
morning” he divulged and I nodded knowingly.
     
     “Welcome
back, Miss Stone” Samantha said to me but her eyes were glued to Neo.
    “Good
morning Samantha, do you have anything for Mr Carter?” I asked and she sighed
dreamily at Neo. I stood patiently waiting for her to roll her tongue off
