Nolan. I picked up my jacket and my briefcase as my driver pulled over in the garage. "Take those art pieces in the boot inside, make sure nothing happens to them," I instructed the driver and opened the door. "I'll have them arranged later." I climbed down from the car and handed my briefcase to my Valet.....Henry. I finally remembered his name. My right hand found it's way to my neck and I sighed as I loosened my tie. I walked into the building and sighed loudly this time as I threw myself on a couch. I glanced at the stairs as the housekeeper, Mrs. Ellison climbed down, holding a vacuum cleaner. "Mrs. Ellison, have you seen Nathaniel," I asked as he hadn't showed up since I got back. "I think he's out at the back," she replied and I nodded. "Okay, can you please tell the cook to make me some tea," I stated as she walked in the direction of the Kitchen. I was so tired. There was no other person who could have made a simple art exhibition tiring except Evelyn Bennett. Who w

EVELYNNolan somehow convinced us to go along with his plan. I blame Robbie for that.But when I arrived at the place he suggested, I almost wanted to turn around and drive away.Of course that bastard picked this dump, I thought as I stared at the giant fluorescent sign that said, KARAOKE BAR in red. Inside was a large room that was dimly lit. Several disco lights were hanging from the ceiling. There was a DJ who had a table set up in the corner. I guess he was in charge of the music. I saw a couple singing duets. None of them were good singers, but they didn't seem to care, and neither did everyone else all around us. Most of the people were most likely too drunk to care.I waited until we got a booth in the corner. Robbie excused himself to go to the restroom."What are we doing here? We are not some drunk college kids," I barked, so Nolan knew I was not happy with this."Ms. Bennett! I am shocked! I thought you were the kind of woman who liked to have fun, but I guess I was wrong.

EVELYNNolan.I could still taste him in my mouth. The kiss was surprisingly pleasant and I am angry at myself for not hating it fully. Why did I kiss him back? I should've kicked him to the curbs and let him taste my wrath but instead, I let him claim my mouth. Maybe I was more drunk than I thought I was. Oh well, I should just forget about it. One week later, my family arranged a picnic like they do every year around this time. Most of the time, it's at the lake where they bought a beach house. It wasn't anything formal. Just me, my parents and some close family members. Which means Jessica would be there and I'd have the chance to interrogate her about Nolan. What the fuck was she thinking hanging out with that douche?Whatever, there was no point in regretting things now. In the morning, I put on my bathing suit under my summer dress and headed to the lake."Evelyn! Sweetheart. Glad you are here. You can help me with the set up," my chirped as I walked toward the picnic table.

EVELYNI felt a shiver run through my spine as Nolan placed his hand on my shoulder, and stroking my collarbone only made it worse. I stared into his bright blue orbs feeling unable to move.What are you doing Evelyn? You should be kicking his ass for touching you right now. I felt trapped in the spot I was and my eyes flickered to his lips as he moved closer to me. I gulped nervously and before I could blink, he pressed his lips against mine. I tried not to show that it affected me, but I ended up moaning and I moved my hips against his. It wasn't sloppy or overly wet, it was unexpectedly pleasant and I felt a tugging of desire in my lower belly.What am I doing Eve?! I need to stop this. I wanted to protest but ended up giving in again. I didn't expect it when Nolan placed his hand between my thighs, causing me to moan. I have to stop this. "Mm...Nolan," I mumbled as his lips traveled to my shoulders and he began to push down the straps of my dress. "Evelyn, Evelyn?"I blinked,
