the way as he entered the room “Ava” Mason shouted but I
ignored him and scurried back to my car.
    The lying
bastard!!! If Rebecca was due at the end of March that made it obvious that
Mason and her had been fucking while he been with me and the arsehole had the
cheek to punish me for Kade. What a hypocrite!!

CHAPTER 4

 
    I could see Mason in my rear view all the way back to the
cottage “Piss off Mason!” I scowled into my mirror as I slammed on the brakes
outside my home and made a dash for the front door.
    He screeched to a stop behind me.
    “Come on damn it” I frantically searched through my bag
for my keys and feeling the cold metal I grabbed them and rammed it into the
keyhole. “Ava!” he shouted as I managed to fling the door open, I was so close
to pushing it shut as his foot wedged in the frame “Move your fucking foot or lose
it Mason” I yelled and he actually removed it. Wow, that was easy!
    I grinned happily as I slammed it shut “Ha!” I declared
and peeked round the lounge door. After been broken into twice I was still a
little uneasy every time I came in and now had a habit of checking the room
before I settled in.

 
    Relaxing a little after finding nothing out of place in
the lounge I went to check on the kitchen. My phone rang in my bag as I was
about to turn the handle and retrieving it I found it was Liv “Hey Ava” she
greeted as I answered “Hey” I smiled as I heard her new born, Helena, grizzling
in the background “I swear she can sense the minute I get on this blasted
phone” she laughed “Listen Ava, I can’t stay on long but we are having a
Christmas party this Saturday at mine and we want you to come, bring Courtney”
she said in between shushes to Helena “Yeah that would be great, thanks but
Courtney won’t be here, she’s in France until Sunday.”

 
    After I hung up I opened the kitchen door “FUCK!!” I
screamed as I came face to face with an angry Mason
sat in one of my kitchen chairs “How the hell?” I gulped and he waggled his old
back door key at me “You have no right Mason” I glared at him “Well when you
won’t fucking listen to me Ava, I have every damn right” he seethed and I
rubbed at my temples, exhaustion finally taking over after several weeks of
hardly any sleep
    “Just go Mason” I flopped down in a chair and rested my
head on my folded arms against the table. “Ava, look at me” he sighed and I
ignored him, I didn’t need this right now, I felt like I could sleep for a week
    “Ava, Baby you’re exhausted” he said softly as he
crouched before me and smoothed my hair away from my cheek. I was struggling to
open my eyes and I just sighed at him.
    His strong arms lifted me from the chair but I was too
tired to argue so I snuggled into him. My body elated with the feel of his
embrace and I felt his lips brush my forehead “Come on Baby, let’s get you in
to bed” he breathed in my ear as he nudged open my bedroom door.
    He sat me on the edge of the bed and lifting my hips; he
slid my dress up and over my head and lifted my arms through it.   Gently laying me down he crouched down in
front of me, stroking my hair softly “Go to sleep my little warrior” he
whispered against my cheek as he placed a delicate kiss beside my ear. I heard
him sigh deeply then stand and my hand shot out “Please stay with me Mason, I
can’t sleep unless you’re beside me” I mumbled “Oh Ava” he choked out and I
felt his hesitation but then he was removing his shoes and socks, then I heard
his belt being unbuckled and his trousers swish down his legs. If I wasn’t so
damn tired I would have already jumped on him.
      Slipping in behind
me he wrapped me in his arms and pulled me back against him, kissing the back of
my head tenderly as he placed his hand over my swollen belly, lightly tracing
circles with his fingers
      “That’s nice” I whispered
and smiled and the last thing I heard was Mason telling me how sorry he was
