Chapter Forty: A Ghostly Visit 

Avery’s POV

My phone buzzes, distracting me momentarily.

I'm cuddled in Thane’s chest, and nestled beneath the duvet, keeping ourselves warm with our bodily heat.

It's the first time I'm in his room. It's a master bedroom, and I'm certain that it's the biggest in his mansion. In the cozy comfort, we're on his king-sized mattress, very comfortable as well.

“Isn't your absence going to disrupt work?”

I trace an invisible line along his chest, down to the tattoo at the side of his nipple. His abs are just as perfect as his face.

“Yes, it is disrupting work.” He pulls me closer, pressing a soft kiss on my forehead. “But if you mean the company, no.”

“A good thing about being the CEO.”

He chuckles.

“Do I smell jealousy?”

I scoff. “You wish.”

Playing with the downy hair on his chest, I look up to find him still laughing at me.

“Besides, I own my own company.”

Not taking me seriously, he keeps laughing softly.
