Flawlessly Executed (Dark Horse Guardians Book 3) by Ava Armstrong Page A

desired. All the while thinking, what did I do to deserve her? I love her. I love her. When she screamed his name, he positioned himself above her and they moved in perfect rhythm together. Wanting to give her the most enjoyment, he began slowly and worked to achieve the perfect mutual crescendo of passion. Never had he felt so emotionally and physically satisfied.
    He collapsed in a breathless heap of exhaustion beside her on the sofa. He pulled the blanket from the back of the sofa and wrapped her in it. Lara turned to him and whispered, “That was the best ever .” He thought his heart might burst with love at that moment.
    He whispered back, “That was wonderful. No, it was spectacular! I love you, my darlin. Oh, you have no idea how much I love you.” He kissed her neck softly, knowing she loved it. But, in fact, he loved it even more. Holding her after making love was the best part for Ben. He felt like their souls had just touched and wanted to remain immersed in that feeling as long as he could.
     
    ~ Lara ~
    Lara had never made love as she had with Ben over the past forty-eight hours. It was non-stop, wild and uninhibited. She found herself initiating physical contact with him more and her handsome husband was not shy in his reaction to her overtures. One of the gifts Ben gave her was time alone together and she appreciated his sensitivity to her needs. It seemed he knew what she needed before she did. Ben bringing her to the black-site, then the stay at the cottage put their relationship back on track.
    As wonderful as the last two days were, a tiny concern cycled through Lara’s mind every so often. It was Abigail Roth and why she was making such an obvious effort to be close to her husband. Ben belonged to her, not Abby. And Lara promised herself she would lay claim to him if she had to. She hoped it would never come to that, but was prepared for it. Something told her she needed to be ready. Everything about the woman made her suspicious. The way she looked at Ben and how she laughed at whatever he was saying the day she surprised them during lunchtime. No. Abby would not be hanging around Ben Keegan; not if she had anything to do about it.
    Her phone vibrated and it was Hawk. She wondered why he’d call her on a Sunday. Lara was tossing a few things into her canvas bag in preparation for a private flight back to Maine.
    “Hey, Hawk. What’s up?” she asked.
    His deep voice was hesitant on the phone, “I just wanted to make sure I know where I’m meeting you tomorrow for the client appointment. It’s Oakhurst, right?”
    “Yes, twenty-five. It’s a big property, take the driveway to the left. It branches off and ends at the ocean. You can’t miss it. It’s a white behemoth!” Lara replied.
    Hawk hesitated for a moment then continued, “How was your weekend?
    Lara exhaled, “Well, I’m flying back to Maine…it was good. And yours?”
    He seemed embarrassed, “Oh, the usual. Nothing much. I moved into the bungalow.”
    The phone call ended and Lara hopped into the waiting cab with Ben and they were home within a few hours. Ben picked up Einstein and they settled in at Clearwater Farm for the remainder of the evening, eating dinner and preparing for the busy upcoming week.
     
    ~ Abby ~
    Thanks to Lucy Adams and her brother, Paul. Abby was now moved into the small condo in the pink Victorian that used to be Lara’s. Paul stayed late that night after pizza and a few beers. For his hard work Abby rewarded him with wild sex on the sofa. But she was alone now as she walked around the place imagining Ben kissing Lara there. She wondered how the two met. It didn’t much matter because she would be working her magic on Ben Keegan soon enough and his annoying stuck-up wife would be taking a backseat to her.
    At one time Abigail Roth had Ben Keegan wrapped around her little finger and she knew she could do it again. She still had her good looks and sexy hot figure. If she hung around his office enough
