The Stand In Wife's Revenge novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

“How are you doing?”

1 forced the images away with a blink. Yes. She did not appear persuaded. ‘You seem a little strange.”

I rubbed the back of my neck and hurriedly said “Im fine.”

Ava looked at me a little longer and then sighed. “All right.” She pointed at the vegetables. “Then if you want to do something assist me.”

I arched an eyebrow. “Assist you?”

She smiled and nodded. “The onions can be chopped here.”

I mocked. “Im not good with onions.”

A chuckle escaped her throat. “Are onions too good?”

I had a grin. “That sort of thing…”

Rolling her eyes she looked back at the counter. “Okay then. Simply stand there and look lovely.”

It made me laugh. My chests tension slightly decreased. But then I thought of something. I moved closer. “Actually I believe I ought to assist…

Suspicious Ava glanced over her shoulder. “Are you serious?. Actually?” She gave me a wary look. “Alright here-“.

When she turned around again I grabbed her hand and threw a drop of water in her face. She gasped and gave me a startled look. “Did you just-?“.

I grinned. Her eyes squinted. “Oh now youre requesting it.”

She took a handful of flour from a bowl nearby and hurled it at me before I could react. It struck my shirt causing white splotches on the black material. I gazed at myself for a moment before slowly raising my eyes to her. Avas laughter erupted loud and uncontrollable.

“I can’t believe you just did that” I muttered..

She grinned. “What? It was your idea, “,

“Oh I’m getting it done.”

When I lunged at her her eyes widened. She squealed in surprise and ran around the counter laughing, Alexander you dare not!. It was you who took the risk… She tried to run away from me but I followed her around the kitchen slipping past the counter and avoiding chairs.

Her light intoxicating laughter reverberated throughout the room. However her speed was insufficient. Pulling her back against me I grabbed her by the wrist. As her hands touched my chest her breath caught in her throat.

We were near. Too close.

Something else took the place of her laughter. A heavier object. Her dark eyes searched mine as she gazed up at me her lips slightly parted. The atmosphere changed. I could feel the warmth of her body against mine the soft rise and fall of her breath.

Chapter 42

My ears were pounding with my pulse. For a brief moment Avas eyes found my lips. It was enough. I leaned in. And then-. My lips found hers. At first it moved slowly and uncertainly. Examination. But something in me exploded the instant she answered.

I pulled her in closer as my hand moved to the small of her back. Her body fit against mine like she belonged there her fingers curling into my shirt as she melted into me. Her warm soft genuine taste was intoxicating.

The nightmare had vanished. It was just her now, only us. The kiss grew deeper more intense more desperate. Although I had kissed a lot of women in the past none of them felt quite like this. None of them caused my pulse to quicken my chest to tighten or my thoughts to fade into thin air. It was Ava.

There was only her. My nostrils were spinning from the combination of vanilla and something floral in her scent. I couldnt decide whether I wanted to slow down or devour her. But the way she pressed into me the soft gasp that escaped her lips as my fingers traced the curve of her back-. It was driving me

insane.
