always took my breath away, especially when she was wearing my shirt and jeans.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you." I jumped up out of my chair.

"You didn't interrupt us at all. Ava, this is my friend Michael. He came by to see me for a little while." Michael stood up and shook her hand.

"Hello Michael."

"Hello Avalon is it?"

"Yes."

"Well John, I won't keep you. I will let you know anything I find out as soon as I can." Michael winked at me as I lead him towards the door.

"Thank you for all your help man."

"Until next time Avalon." Ava nodded as I shut the door.

"We didn't wake you did we?" Ava stepped towards John with a little smile on her face.

"You two did not wake me but you sort of did.” I know she could tell I looked confused until she stepped closer and placed her hands on my chest.

"I was having a wonderful dream with you in it and it woke me up." She leaned up and kissed me and then I got it!

"Oh!"

Chapter Seven

I could tell already that kissing her would never get boring. I could kiss her forever and if I have my way I definitely plan on doing just that. Her lips parted to deepen the kiss so I was happy to as well. Everything about this woman is intoxicating. Everything, from her lips to the sounds she makes, even her smell. I was intoxicated by this woman. It breaks my heart every time I think about her having to go home to Nicholas. This should be her home. She deserves a man who will love her, not treat her like a maid. Oh crap! Nicholas! I had to pull Ava to a stop which she did not care for.

"Ava. When do you need to be home? When is Nicholas going to be home?" Ava stopped and looked down at her wrist where her watch should be but she must have left it upstairs.

"It's near 3pm."

"I slept that long?" Ava looked shocked.

"You were tired love." Ava stopped for a second obviously collecting her thoughts before she looked up at me again.

"I'm never really sure if he will be home around Five o'clock like a normal person or come creeping in at nine."

"Why does he make you worry about dinner then?"

"He doesn't like the thought of me sitting around doing nothing or being out and about doing only God knows what." A small smile crept on her lips as she leaned up to kiss me again.

This time her kiss had much more passion. I was getting lost in her but I knew we needed to stop. I needed to talk to her. I need to try and explain who and what I am and what she may possibly be if she will even listen to me after that. But God it feels so good to have her in my arms, holding her, kissing her, feeling her need for me, it makes me feel like I could explode. The electricity that goes through us is unlike anything I have ever felt before.

"John, I want you." I pulled back and looked at her. She was absolutely beautiful. How could any man not want her? Suddenly my cell started ringing, of course.

"Hello?"

"John! It’s Michael. Get Avalon home now. I decided to start with her husband and apparently he is on his way home. From what you've mentioned she may want to beat him there."

"Thanks Michael." Damn, just my luck. I will seriously have to figure out a way to get Nicholas out of the picture and soon.

"Ava dear we need to get you home."

"What? Why? I want to stay with you." I could just see the disappointment in her eyes. How I wanted to keep her here with me and not just for tonight. But tonight is just not going to happen.

"Sweetie, Nicholas is on his way home. You don't need to give him any more reason to doubt or question you." She looked down at her shoes and sighed.

"Okay. You’re right. I don't like it but your right. Walk me to the car?"

"Of course."

I watched Ava run upstairs to change out of my shirt and back into her clothes. Watching her do so was painful. I had to hold myself back from running up those stairs after her. As she jogged up the stairs her thong was peeking out from under the shirt, it was driving me mad.

Once she made her way back down it didn't help. Clothes didn't
