Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Six - An Injured Nicholas
Alyssa’s heart started racing at the mention of Nicholas. Even after everything that happened between them, she realized that she still loved him. Her body still reacted at the mention of his name. “Oh, is he serious?” she asked as they rushed towards the orthopedic department. “He's better now. They will release him today,” informed Eva, while Alyssa’s heart filled with worry. Would she be able to see him? It had been so many days since she saw him. She felt a little guilty for his condition. After all, it was because of her he landed here at the hospital. All because he wanted her! No one has ever wanted her the way he did! Was it such a crime that he had to be hospitalized because of desiring her? Eva pushed the glass doors open, and they went inside. She led them to a room and opened the door to let her in. Alyssa peered inside first and her eyes widened seeing Nicholas sitting on the bed, ready to be discharged. The telltale signs of the fight were clearly visible on his body
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Seven - Moving In With Nicholas
“Yes, you said you wanted me to give us a chance for a month,” Alyssa pointed out while Nicholas groaned.“I didn’t mean it that way. I just said you can decide to opt out in a month if you aren't happy with me.” “Oh!” “So? What have you decided?” he asked impatiently, not satisfied with her reply. “I haven’t decided yet.” Nicholas sighed and stared out of the window, without prodding her further. He was tired of trying to convince her. Now there was only one option left for him. He had to heal fast and then take matters into his hands. What would he do? He hadn’t decided yet, but this time he wouldn’t wait for her reply. “We’ve reached.” Nicholas looked around to see that she had stopped the car outside his building gates. “You expect me to get down here? C’mon, I’m injured,” he protested. Alyssa started the car and drove in through the gates into the guest parking area, while Nicholas’s heart danced with delight. Could he convince her to move in with him? Alyssa got down and op
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Eight - Alexander's Interference
“Why?” Alyssa asked, but Alexander looked ahead blankly, shaking his head absent-mindedly. “I don’t care who she’s with.”“Then why are you mourning here? Shouldn’t you be happy that Eva is off your head?” said Alyssa bitterly. She was clueless why her brother wasn’t pursuing Eva when he really cared about her. “I’m not mourning. Anyway, you tell me, what brought you here? Weren’t you living with mom and dad?” asked Alexander to divert the topic. “Mom insulted me badly, and I left home.” Alexander shook his head with disappointment and focused his eyes upon her. “She’s upset that you aren’t helping dad. Just listen to them and everything will be fine, Lisa.” “I can’t run such a vast company, Alex. I’m scared. If I fail and the business suffers, I wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt. Please appoint a capable CEO, if dad can’t handle it any longer and spare me the ordeal,” she begged, almost in tears while Alexander gaped at her. “Are you giving up without even trying?” he ask
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Nine - Was He Abducting Her?
The entire night Nicholas contemplated doing what Maxwell suggested. Would it work? Would she finally fall for him? No, he couldn’t stoop so low. He would give her some space and meet her after a few days when he was well enough to move about freely. Although his heart wanted to meet Alyssa and demand an explanation for breaking her promise to him, he tried hard to restrain himself.For the next two weeks Nicholas concentrated on his health but not once did he stop thinking of Alyssa. It surprised him that she didn’t call him even once. Although he had resumed work the day after his release from the hospital, he refrained from visiting Alyssa or calling her. It wasn’t because she was staying at her brother’s place but because he needed to rethink his strategies with her. With his need to have her again in his arms, driving him crazy, he knew he had to try another way to approach her. He cared little about Alexander’s wrath, but he cared about Alyssa’s opinion of him. He had engaged J
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty - At A Deserted Island!
The car sped northwards and Alyssa struggled to get off his lap. By now she realized Nicholas meant what he said. He wouldn’t listen to any of her protests. “Nicholas, let me go,” she hissed but his arm clamped around her waist like a steel band, and escape was almost impossible. “Where the hell are we going? Couldn’t we have gone after Eva’s party? She would be so upset,” grumbled Alyssa, struggling more. “You can only feel for Eva. What about me, Alyssa? Did you think of me even once when you promised to bring lunch and left me waiting the entire day?” He released her abruptly, and she got down from his lap, feeling guilty. “You’re fine without me in your life,” she whispered.“No, I want you in my life.” It was a desperate plea and Alyssa had no answer to that. She just sighed and rested her head against the headrest and closed her eyes. What was the use of protesting? The car sped all the way to Norwalk but this time Alyssa didn’t ask him anything. She knew he was taking her s
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-One - Nicholas's Realization
A look of pure confusion crossed his face as he searched his soul for an answer to her question. Why was he so impatient to see her? Why did it feel as if he would die if he didn’t meet her? Was he in love with Alyssa? His eyes focused blankly on her curious face as the realization hit him hard. Yes, he was hopelessly in love with Alyssa Van Every! How had he not realized it before? There wasn’t any other explanation for the heart-wrenching emotions he experienced when away from her. They tormented him until he saw her again. It explained why he needed to be near her all the time. “Nicholas? What’s wrong?” asked Alyssa, noticing the dazed look on his face, the beads of perspiration on his forehead. He seemed to be lost in a world of his own. “Nothing. Nothing at all. You must be hungry, Alyssa. Let’s eat the food the caretaker has arranged for us. It’s late. We can explore the place tomorrow morning,” he rambled on nervously while Alyssa gaped at him, unable to figure his mood out.
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-Two - Excitement In The Air
Strangely, Nicholas wasn’t there with her on the bed, although the place beside her was warm. It only meant that Nicholas had slept with her without her knowledge, but why? He had shown no indication last night that he intended to sleep with her! Did he try anything with her without her knowledge? Looking at herself, she found she was fully clothed. This was getting weirder day by day! She got out of bed and went to the washroom to freshen up. When she emerged, the beauty around the place blew her mind away. The entire room was filled with light streaming in through the enormous wrap-around windows she had seen last night. The magnificent views of the Long Island Sound had her fascinated as she stared out of the windows, seeing the herons, egrets, and migratory birds flying around. “Good morning, Alyssa. I came to pour water over you to wake you up,” chuckled Nicholas, while Alyssa turned around slowly to face him. Her eyes roamed over his bare, shirtless body and she felt the urge
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-Three - Like A Couple In Love
The boatman called them and Alyssa rushed after Nicholas, thankful that she didn’t need to think of a reply. It was the truth, she did want him as much as he wanted her. While his was just a physical desire, what Alyssa felt for him was deeper, more like an elemental need. Nicholas lived in every pore, every cell of her body and it was natural that she would desire him! “Alyssa, give me your hand. What’s wrong with you? This is the second time you have zoned out!” he said, coming closer to her. It brought Alyssa out of her reverie and she caught his outstretched hand while he helped her into the boat. As they sat opposite one another, the boat surged ahead toward the first island nearest to them. They first visited the Cockenoe Islands with its mile-long reef and extensive rookeries populated by egrets, Herons, and black cormorants. The cormorants' guano, which left some rocks white, was so toxic that the area was almost barren. “Touch nothing here. It’s so toxic to the trees that
