Call after call and text after text, I’ve left Gregory on silent. But is it right to do the same to Evelyn?“Don’t you love her, jackass?” The question hurts, and my eyes follow where she ran off to.As if speaking with another person, I shake my head. “Of course I do.”“Isn’t that enough to be a ma
EvelynThe first flight we take is the longer of the two. We make our way to the West Coast as I snuggle into Sebastian’s shoulder.“You’re a lot to handle,” I whisper.He breathes a laugh. “Well, I can’t argue with that.”Knowing we’re so close to Hawaii after so long away, I feel the air in my lun
He raises a bushy eyebrow as if to get the answer out of me. But when I don’t give him the answer, he studies me.“I give up. What beach is this?” He finally rolls his eyes.“It’s my beach. The place I learned to surf, where I learned to grow up, where I felt my safest.”I bite my lip, knowing that
The tears in my eyes burn as they fall. It’s hard to know what the truth is any longer. In fact, I don’t even know if Sebastian really knows just what he’s doing to me.I race after the man, memories resurfacing of the first time I searched for him. Our birthday was full of strangers, and the only t
EvelynSebastian lets out a long sigh, squeezing my arm tighter as he pushes our warm bodies together. “I’ve been wanting to ask what that scent is.”“What scent?” I ask curiously.“Your hair products.” He sticks his nose between the curls, prompting giggles to erupt from within me.Spending an enti
Another blue-eyed roll.“Do you question the future, then?” I don’t mean to ask so abruptly, but the words tumble out. “How we could possibly continue to care for one another and keep others safe, too?”“I think the only way everyone stays happy is if we just stay low.”“But that’s not fair, is it?”
SebastianI didn’t think Evelyn knew so many places that we could possibly tackle in our short week here. But as usual, she managed to surprise me.From the beach to her favorite quiet stores, Evelyn tells me about any and all memories she can draw out of her mind.“I started coming here with my mom
Evelyn looks as beautiful as ever as I walk out of the bathroom dressed and ready. The white dress makes her eyes pop, her smile bigger. I struggle not to throw her on the bed and have my way with her.“Are you going to tell me why we’re wearing fancy clothing?”“That would ruin the fun.”A limo pic
I look at Sebastian, worried that Ava might have to do that. We have him on tampering the breaks and paying off Seb’s team, but what happens if William has a gun or something, and refuses to let Ava go? “That depends. Do you forgive me for being foolish?” Ava’s voice has turned sultry, which is us
Evelyn's POV I’m more nervous than I should be. Ava’s putting her life in danger by talking to William. Not only that, but Sebastian’s laser focused on making sure things go well. I’m just sitting here trying not to tremble. William finally gets to Ava, and he looks horrible. His normal neat a
Sebastian's POV Jack Abbott studies everything I’ve given him. He sits across from Evelyn, Ava and I in our apartment, looking through each page carefully. It took a lot of outlining, but ultimately, Evelyn’s plan is perfect for this. As long as Jack’s on board with his findings, and things go r
Sebastian gives us a double take as he opens the door with his key. “When did you tell Ava?” “She tells me a lot more than you know, Sebastian.” She crosses her arms, looking between the two of us. “I’m the only person who knows the truth about you both. So, sometimes I take advantage of it.”
Evelyn's POV “Are you sure it’s not something I did? I just feel like I’m missing something.” Olivia crosses her arms, as I grab the last of my stuff. It only took me an hour to get everything out of here, and Sebastian’s waiting downstairs for me to finish up. Olivia still knows nothing. Not th
“I love Evelyn, alright? I know you don’t like it or approve, but this isn’t just some stupid game. We know what we’re risking. I’m sorry if you don’t like that.” “I don’t,” she admits, leaning against the back of the chair. “But you’re an adult. So is Evelyn. And I know this isn’t just a game. It
Sebastian's POV I’m in a blind rage now as we enter the track. If it was possible, I know I’d have smoke coming out my ears. Evelyn is still trying to convince me to stop whatever it is I’m doing. “It’s not worth it!” She’s been stressed the entire ride, but I can’t stop seeing in red. The guy
It’s a few days before I hear from Jack again. “You want the good shit or bad?” He asks over a phone call. I tell him I want everything. This is important. “Then I’ll start with the good. Your initial fears of this having to do with your former roommate? He’s heavily involved. In fact, seems lik
Sebastian's POV Evelyn’s bodyguard is six foot six and goes by Tank. He is built as his nickname suggests, with muscles that seemingly look like they’ll burst from his shirt, and tattoos wrapped around many limbs. He’s even got the bald head. In my head, I just call him The Rock after Dwayne J
