“Yeah, I live with my Mom and Dad.”Evelyn continued telling her family tree to Theodore who was busy staring at her with his cheek resting on his right fist. His eyes caressed her face, smiling at her very expression. The way she scrunches her nose, her lips forming a pout and the way she smiles while recalling some funny incidents, the man noticed each and every detail with keen interest. Theodore was entranced with her beauty. Evelyn chose a blue colored knee-length dress for the night and matched it with black sandals. She left her hair open and neatly pinned it with a beautiful hair tie. A silver chain dangling from her neck and pearl studs in her ears made her look more appealing and drop-dead gorgeous.Theodore was scared but still, he mustered up the courage and asked Evelyn to go on a date. To his surprise, she agreed since apart from Dylan, she knew no one here so it was good to have company. Besides Evelyn considered him only a friend but it was more than a friendly hangout
Evelyn was roused with the most heartbreaking news that someone had shot Dominique Blanchett. It was a deadly attack.Evelyn was shocked out of her wits. She wasted no time and rushed to the hospital where she was met with a sobbing wife who was crying helplessly in her son’s embrace. They were no other than Mrs. Blanchett and Theodore. Theodore was fighting hard to control his tears while consoling his broken mother.Evelyn took baby steps in their direction, her eyes turning misty.“What happened, Theo?” She asked Theodore who immediately turned stiff as a board as soon as he heard her. Fear crept in his eyes but he pushed it back and turned to face her.“I-I don’t know. Someone shot him last night. Dylan was the one who took him to the hospital.” He replied to her. Evelyn furrowed her brows. But then it hit her.“Was that why he was calling me yes-”“Yeah,” Theodore answered her query. Evelyn cast her eyes down. Guilt jabbed her hard.“But I don’t blame you, Evelyn. It’s fine-”“It
Dylan whispered in a deadly tone and covered her mouth with his large palm. Apprehension groped her as he glared into her scared eyes.“There is something very important that I need to tell you Eve and for that, you need to listen to me.” His voice was thick and demanded obedience. Evelyn wanted to rebel but his stern expression doused her confidence. She found herself nodding.Once he was sure, Dylan slowly removed his palm from her mouth but didn’t let go of her face. Instead, he cupped her right cheek and glided his thumb over her jawline.Evelyn shuddered and tried to move away but a low growl seized her movement. She looked at him, waiting for him to share that important matter but Dylan was busy marveling at her beauty. His gaze roved all over her face but lingered a little longer on her cheery lips.Rage sparked in her heart as he was gawking at her like a pervert.“What it is?“, she gritted with a clenched jaw.“Whatever happened last night wasn’t your fault so stop beating yo
“These are perfect. I give it a pass.” Evelyn spoke while leafing through the interior designs of the hotel. They were apt and flawless. Contended, Evelyn then turned to Grace, Theodore’s assistant, and snuck a glance at Dylan who was already staring at her, smiling like a love-struck fool.“Get the approval of Mr. Black.” She said and gestured to Grace who was exhilarated with her response. She immediately snatched the file from her hands even took Evelyn off guard and dashed to Dylan. Evelyn cocked a brow as the girl rounded to the table and strutted near his chair to show him the designs. She was shocked at her bold move.Dylan who had his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair while twirling the pen between his fingers smirked at Grace’s crappy attempt to lure him. He was aware of the effect he had on people, especially females.Grace bent much lower on her knees to reveal her cleavage before handing him the file.“Please take a look, Mr. Black.” She spoke in a saccharine ton
Maybe you consider it a mistake, a result of lustMaybe you think the morning will turn your dreams into specks of dust.But I promise you, Eve, I won’t disappoint you. You no longer need to be shy.The night is ours today so just live the moment as the pleasure will be too damn high.And just like that, the tension in the air soared. The sky turned darker and the moon hid behind the clouds to give the couple privacy.Evelyn ran out of words. His deep baritone turned her knees weak. Those buried feelings again surfaced but before they could overpower her Evelyn decided to shun them. Looking away, she tried to weasel out of his grip but Dylan had other plans. He wasn’t going to let his kitten escape no matter what happened. Evelyn glared at him when he didn’t move aside but her eyes widened when he took a step forward. She quickly retreated.“What are you-” her mouth turned dry when her movements got hindered by the wall. She looked back and then at Dylan only to realize that he had ve
Evelyn was in her cabin. Her desk was all stacked up with files and papers waiting for her attention but she didn’t spare them a glance. Because a storm was brewing deep inside her. A storm of contrite, self-loathe, and rage.She was regretting kissing Dylan. She shouldn’t have agreed to come with him to Paris. It just sounded so wrong as on one side she was craving him while on the other hand, she was giving Xander false promises. No doubt, he was the perfect gentleman and would prove to be the best life partner. Xander inhibited all the qualities she used to search for in Dylan. He was kind compassionate, prudent, understanding, and most importantly he respected women. She needed someone like him in her life who understands her, respects her decisions, and adapts to her lifestyle instead of changing it. Even her father had approved of her relationship. He qualified all the conditions that she was looking for in her man but still, she was in a plight. Her heart wasn’t ready to accept
Dylan was a bit concerned as Evelyn after that heated session chose silence for the rest of the day. She slept the whole day in the office and woke up in the car when Dylan was driving her back to the hotel. Evelyn also showed no resistance when he carried her in bridal style and dropped her safely to her room, on her bed. Dylan had a hunch as to why she was avoiding him but didn’t pressure her. It would be a bit too much.The amalgamation of his grunts and her moans snatched her sleep. She couldn’t peel off that memory that was only condemning her for giving in so easily. It wasn’t like he forced her, she had her fair share of pleasure but every time she gave in to his sinful desires, she fell a little from grace. So, she picked up silence as a punishment.Which with passing days turned her routine.Dylan was worried as after that day, Evelyn never interacted with him. He would try to make some conversations but she would give him a wide berth. She wouldn’t even look at him so talkin
The world stopped around him.She loves him.Overwhelmed with happiness, Dylan stared at Evelyn in disbelief, her confession rang in his ears on a loop. With trembling hands, he managed to hold her face and tried to look for any lies in her eyes.“What did you just say?” He spoke, still in a trance. Evelyn nodded with a blank face.That’s when his heart swelled and a wide smile etched on his face. His happiness knew no bounds.“Even after everything you did, I failed to erase you from my mind. Yes, your betrayal killed me. It was true that I hated seeing your face. Even breathing in your presence revolted me but the day you saved me from Miller, you revived those feelings which had ignited the flame of love in my heart around three years ago. ” She spoke, her eyes bore nothing but truth.Dylan felt his heart somersaulting watching her brown orbs teeming with love. Oh, how badly he had waited to see that affectionate smile of hers.“You stirred those emotions again when you saved my di
