Chapter 60

" Did something happen at work? " She chose her words carefully when he finally disengage himself from the hug slowly. She didn't know what would be a sore subject for him so she had to tread carefully.

He sighed and rubbed his tired eyes " All the efforts to get Angel has been futile and it wear me out because I would have caught her today if only I was a bit earlier " He looked so pained and sad that her heart ached to take the pain away.

Feeling the urge to really comfort him, she reached out and took his hands in her small ones. She started with a small smile " You know, my Mom used to tell me this: Just Because You Tried It Today and It Didn't Work Doesn't Mean You Should Give Up, Try Again, And Again, Until You See The Result You So aMuch Desire " She looked up at him, her soft gaze full of hope and for the first time that day, everything seemed alright. Before, he doubted if he'd be able to find Angel but now, he believed he could find her.

Staring deep into Ava's eyes, he felt he could drown in them forever. He embraced her again and murmured on her neck.

" Thank you Ava " He said quietly but Ava could tell she had made him feel better.

She smiled but her smile disappeared the minute she felt him kiss her neck ever so softly.

Her eyes widened and she suddenly felt hot. Clearing her throat, she said " Huh... It's late Alex, we should go to bed "

Alex raised his head to look at her. Without a word, he slowly leaned down, waiting for her to pull away or something. But she did none, so he captured her mouth in a passionate kiss. Ava's eyes widened in shock and she went still for a moment. Alex coaxed her into opening up for him in which she did after a while. She felt the world move as she let go of everything and just focused on the kiss. His hands went down to hold her waist protectively. Ava removed her hands from where she wrapped them around his neck and placed them on his chest to trace her fingers on it. She drew him closer, to his happiness.

All of a sudden, without breaking the kiss, he lifted her up and she squealed " Alex! What are you doing?! " She asked, fear and excitement written in her eyes.

His eyes became clouded and he stared at her with lust filled eyes " I really do not appreciate you breaking my kiss, Mama " He said softly.

Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink and she looked down to where their bodies were joined " What are you...? " She started to ask but Alex cut in.

" You'll see " He answered and he kept walking. When they reached the staircase, he changed her position and carried her bridal style.

Ava bursted into laughter which sounded like music to his ears. She finally felt comfortable with him because she wound her arms around his neck like her life depended on it. It gladdened his heart to see she was finally free with him. Her eyes widened the second time that night when she realized where they were heading to. Her throat suddenly went dry and she gulped.

She decided to ask , even though she knew already " Where are we going, Alex? " She stared up at him with innocent eyes.

" My room, kitten " He answered with a soft smile, thinking about how innocent she looked.

Her eyes went so huge that they were almost popping out of their sockets " Wh... What? " She whispered.

He stopped on his tracks and stared down at her " Do you wanna come with me? " He asked, his voice sounding so sexy that Ava couldn't refuse him. His words held a deeper meaning and Ava perfectly understood what he meant and she was willing and ready. Heck, she had brace herself up for this day, ached and hoped a day like this would come. Gawd, She couldn't wait! She thought as her body trembled in excitement and anticipation of what was to come.

" Ava? " He called quietly, aching for her to say she wanted it too.

" Huh? " She asked ever so innocently.

" Do you want to come with me? " He repeated, and his eyes didn't waver from hers.

She nodded " Yes " She answered, her voice as soft as velvet.

He grinned and hastened up. Soon, they got to the door and he opened it in a hurry. They entered and he kissed her once more. Ava started to back some steps away until she hit the king sized bed. Automatically, she fell on it, her hair all over the place. Alex went down with her but supported his weight by placing his hands on either side of her to avoid crushing her with his weight.

" You're so beautiful " He whispered and slowly undid the buttons on her Top. Ava sucked in a sharp breath, feeling butterflies in her stomach. On noticing that, Alex returned his mouth back on hers to prevent her from getting even more nervous. This time, the kiss was slow as they explored each other's mouth leisurely.

Cool air hit Ava the minute Alex undid all the buttons and she shivered.

" You cold? " He asked in a whisper but Ava shook her head.

One look at her small, perky and perfect breasts suddenly made his trousers smaller and he groaned. Her nipples looked hard and he gulped.

" The little cuties recognize their master " He smirked, staring at her breasts lustfully to his satisfaction. Then he hungrily took one in his mouth and sucked while he played with the other. A moan escaped through her lips at the contact and she arched her back to give him complete access to suck more which he did.
