Before Chloe answered if she was ready to the next step, Emma entered the kitchen with the kids saying she would like to taste that chocolate cake. Evan was still hugging Chloe when they arrived, which made that moment a little embarrassing for the couple."You two, get a room!" Emma mocked.Chloe blushed and tried to hide her face in Evan's chest. He just smiled and kissed her hair."We're leaving, don't worry." Evan stated."Where are you going?" Elena asked while she was stepping in."It's a secret place I would like to take Chloe." He said proudly.Emma and Elena glanced at each other as if that was a big deal. Evan rolled his eyes and took Chloe by the hand."Let's go! We need to enjoy the sunlight."After long minutes walking inside the tropical forest, they found a crystal clear water lake with several rocks around it and a big rocky opening at the bottom, which looked like a cave."That's amazing, Evan!""Are you ready to see the best part?" he asked and she nodded in affirmati
When Evan thought he wouldn't get more excited, Chloe moaned his name and asked him something like that. He lost his senses for a minute and was almost taking her panties off when he remembered his father's words saying Chloe was not like Jill. So Evan could not treat Chloe the same way he treated other women he used to f*ck."I can't do it." he said all of a sudden."What?" Chloe looked at him, shocked. She was still wrapped in his arms."I'm sorry, Chloe. We should not do it here." he didn't glance at her."How come? What are you talking about?" she got angry. "Evan, that's what you wanted since the beginning! And now that I'm all in, you…OMG! I can't believe it!" Chloe was so pissed off that she pushed him away and headed towards the edge of the lake to get out of that place. Evan was confused. He wanted to have sex with her more than anything, she made him crazy teasing him like that, but he was trying to do the right thing at the first time in his life. He knew Chloe was not so
Evan left the room without saying a word after his long shower. Chloe knew that kind of relationship would not be easy for both of them but she didn't understand why he couldn't let Jill go. Jill was like a ghost, always hunting them in their best moments. Chloe went to the bathroom, took an invigorating shower and thought about how she would act with Evan from that moment on. She needed to know if he felt at least attraction to her. If he desired her as much as she desired him.Determined to provoke him, Chloe finished her shower and chose a beautiful long, low-cut red dress that highlighted her white skin. The weather was pleasant that night, which favored her choice.When Chloe went downstairs, she heard a well-known male voice coming from the backyard and she could not believe when she saw Ryan standing in front her, with a beer in hand and a wide smile. "Ryan!" Chloe hugged him. "Hey gorgeous! Didn't know I would find you here. Not even my cousin, to be honest." he kissed her
"It's not what you think it is, Evan." Ryan tried to explain but his cousin was walking blindly towards him. "Chloe stumbled and I…"Ryan didn't have the chance to finish the sentence, he just removed his hands from Chloe's waist in time to get punched by Evan."I already told you, do not touch her." Evan grabbed Chloe's wrist and dragged her inside with no kindness.When they reached the room, Evan pushed her on the bed and stared at her waiting for a plausible answer."What are you trying to do, Chloe? What the f*ck were you doing with Ryan outside?" he asked angrily once Chloe didn't say a word."I just stumbled and he helped me! Why did you punch him? Are you insane?" Chloe got up from the bed but she was too dizzy to do it so she sat for a while."That's not what I saw! He was almost kissing you!" he yelled the last sentence."What kind of girl do you think I am, Evan? I'm not Jill!" Chloe challenged him with a glance.Evan clenched his hands in fists and fixed his gaze on her, di
In the next morning, when Evan woke up, Chloe was not in the bedroom anymore. He did his morning hygiene calmly and went downstairs."Where's everybody?" he asked stepping in the kitchen."Beach. Chloe is there with the kids. Mom and dad went to the city." Emma was preparing a fruit salad. "What's wrong with you? You never wake up late.""I took too long to fall asleep last night." Evan sighed while he sat on a chair in front of Emma."That's the best part of the engagement." his sister commented randomly. "After marriage things change… After having children then! You stay awake all night long, but for another reason!" Evan glanced at her for a while. He knew his sister was suffering with that divorce thing but she was trying to be brave and keep going because of the boys mostly. She was always laughing around but her eyes were sad. Was that what love supposed to mean? How long would she take to remake her life?That thought made Evan wonder how his life would be after his divorce. He
Evan was acting strange and Chloe just noticed it. After they came back from the beach, he was impatient and walking around in the bedroom, as if he was worried about something."What's the problem, Evan? You'll end up drilling the floor of walking so much to and fro!" Chloe glanced at him and asked. She was seated on a comfortable sofa near the window, reading a book."Nothing to worry about." he was hyperventilating. "Ah! I forgot to tell you, I asked Gallaway to pick up your things and take to my apartment. We will come back to New York tomorrow.""How come Mr. Gallaway…?" she couldn't finish her question."I have a copy of your keys. And Brianna helped him." "Evan." She exhaled heavily to control herself. "Why you didn't ask me first?""Because we discussed it already. I gave you time and now I can't wait anymore." he explained briefly."This is invasion of privacy!" she said discredited.Chloe knew she would have to live with him soon, but having a copy of her keys was too much.
Evan and Chloe came back to the house after a few hours. Chloe couldn't stop smiling and Evan was feeling his heart warmed. That was not the first time he proposed to a woman, but it was the first time he felt his heart beating fast and it never felt so good. He knew that was just part of a plan, but Chloe's happiness was so genuine that he decided to live the moment with her. Deep down, Evan wanted to create unforgettable moments with her so that she would never forget him."What is all this?" Chloe asked when they were walking in the deck towards the house."Well, I would like to share this moment with the most important people in my life. So I decided to prepare a special dinner." Evan explained with a wide smile. "Emma helped me, I must confess."Chloe laughed and hugged him by his waist. "Thank you. It's beautiful!"There was a big table in the sand, with candles around it and flowers everywhere. The atmosphere was so romantic that made Chloe sigh. Evan's family came all togeth
Evan was leaving the kitchen when Ryan approached him unexpectedly."Hey, man. Can we talk for a minute?"Evan sighed heavily and nodded. Ryan was his cousin, they grew up together, they build great memories together so he deserved a minute of attention. They needed to solve that stalemate before it was too late."We can go to dad's office." Evan said coldly and Ryan followed him.After they entered the room, Ryan started talking."Evan, I don't want to fight with you to win Chloe. She was my first love, I have a great affection for her and that's why I would like to see her happy." he paused to breath. "If her happiness is you, I will accept it. But…""But what?" Evan encouraged him to continue."I hope you make sure that she will always be well and happy. Because if I find out you're just playing with her, I'll tell your parents everything. I'm sure aunt Elena would have something to say about that." Ryan said nonstop."Are you threatening me inside my own house?" Evan was discredit
