Two Months LaterPetite arms wrapped around his waist, and gentle fingers threaded through the shot hairs on his pubic region, soft lips drawing across his shoulders. It irritated Adam, but he didn't want to hurt her feelings by pushing her away."That was the best night of my life." Her morning, husky voice vibrated along his back. "And this..." Her hand stroked lower and took hold of his semi-erect dick. "...is the best cock I've ever tasted."He hardened when she squeezed him and she began to stroke gently. "I thought I wanted just a one-night stand, Adam," She let go of his member, her arms wrapping around his torso in a fierce hug, making her breasts press into his back, "but I realized that I want so much more. I want you in my life."That put Adam off completely. Grabbing her by the wrists, he pulled her hands from around him and stepped away to grab his boxers and shorts. "Funny I don't feel that way.""What? I didn't ride you well last night?" She asked, voice seductive. "
Eva watched as shock slashed across Adam's cheeks just before he quirked an eyebrow and simply said, “Oh."“Yeah.” Brandon replied cockily, still glaring at Adam. “Do you and my fiance know each other?”“Of course. The two of us know each other very well.” Adam's eyes swerved to Eva's as he emphasized the last words, making her heart skip a beat. If Brandon found out about her fling with Adam, it would be a disaster.“Adam and I met at a party last week. He's a sports extremist.” She quickly chipped in before Adam could say anything more.“Right, so we just talked and got really well acquainted and became friends.” He looked at her, his eyes dancing with mockery. “Congratulations, by the way, Eva.”At least he didn't expose her, but his nonchalant tone irked her. “Sweetheart, why don't you invite him to our engagement party?” Brandon pressed an intimate kiss to the corner of her mouth, and Eva gauged Adam's reaction.Nada. Not even a tick of his jawbone to suggest that he was affect
“You're kidding me!" Raul said dramatically with his eyes wide. “Please tell me we're watching some kind of Telenovela. She's the masked woman? The same girl who confronted you at the nightclub? She's the same girl who had you hooked with a single kiss?”The stepbrothers burst into new peals of laughter, and Adam stood at the side, trying not to show his irritation as he poured himself a stiff glass of scotch from the decanter.Adam had made the mistake of finally telling Raul and Alfredo that Eva was the girl from the New Year's Eve party and that he'd had a fling with her and was yearning for so much more, and as expected, their first action was to start teasing him.“Just like June gets you all hot and bothered?” Ethan asked coyly, hitting the back of Raul's head with his hand and causing the other man to grimace.“Hot and bothered?” Indignation slashed on Raul's face. “Dude, that July is the most irritating brat I've ever met in my whole life. Minus score for her name. I mean, who
“Adam.” His name tumbled out of her mouth in a breathless whisper as she studied his handsome face. His usually rakish hair was carefully straightened with gel, giving him a sophisticated look that was so unlike him. He'd shaved his stubble, and the spicy aftershave mixed with his alluring cologne infused her senses.Luckily he set her back on her feet and unwrapped his arms from around her before their posture could call for attention. Eva rubbed her palms on the expensive dress she was wearing, smoothening invisible creases in an attempt to give herself some control, but her breath caught for a second when her eyes skimmed over his tall figure.He looked dashingly handsome in a blue suit and matching blue pants. A suit that looked way too familiar because she could vividly remember stripping it off his body more times than she could count in her dreams. Erotic memories slammed through her mind.Desire so ferocious lashed through her veins that she had to dart her eyes sideways to
Downing the last bit of her champagne, Eva set her glass on a passing waitress's tray as she walked 0on with a tight smile on her face.She hurried up the stairs, needing to be alone to fight off the battalion of desire and other emotions that were attacking her after just some minutes of being near Adam.Getting to the top of the stairs, she took the west wing, going past the several rooms the large mansion housed and into the restroom that was at the end of the hallway.She closed the door behind her and stepped forward into the bathroom, gazing at herself in the mirror. She hadn't put on any blush today but her cheeks were crimson red from her sheer want for Adam.Resisting the urge to splash some water on her face despite her makeup being waterproof, Eva placed her hands on the two ends of the sink and leaned her weight on it, blowing out a sigh as she looked down at the sinkholes.Focus, Eva, focus. You're getting married and that's what you should think about. You need to tear A
As Brandon's father stretched his hand out to Brandon and Eva for them to step closer to him, Adam felt as if the air had been knocked out of his lungs, and he stumbled from the full force of its malevolent effect.Eva and Brandon had been together for more than a year? How could that be possible when he and Eva had been together for a week two months ago, having more sex than he could count?Maybe he'd heard wrong, maybe the man had said one month and his raging mind was playing tricks on him.Brandon took a ring from his father and held Eva's left hand in his, going down on one knee. “Eva, I know we've already talked about this and you've said yes, but this is so that all these people around see just how much we want to be together.”“I've known you since we were kids and I've loved you for more than two years now. You make me the happiest man alive. Now all you need to do to seal my happiness is to accept to be my wife. Will you give me that honour of becoming your husband?”Adam
“Ladies and gentlemen, it's extremely appalling that every project I don't supervise turns out to be a disaster. What are your worths as employees? Please do tell me if you've grown tired of working in this company and I'll gladly hire new and competent people to work for me. You're dismissed.”Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the rest of LA, Adam watched as one by one, the men and women who worked for Lucas's family company marched out of the boardroom, all with surly expressions on their faces.Lucas's father who'd been standing in a corner and watching everything that was going waited till all the employees had left, then crossed over to where his son stood in front of the CEO's chair.Lucas turned to him with frustrated eyes. “Is this how it was when you were the CEO, Dad? I'm surprised you would even entertain them. It's like it's better to do everything on your own.” He shot at his father rather flippantly.“You know, I'm going to forgive that disrespectfu
"Hey, girl!" June and Victoria burst into Eva's room cheerily."Hey." Surprised, Eva attempted to inject enthusiasm into her voice which was so damn hard when she was feeling so down."Since you said you couldn't go out for a girls' time, we didcided to bring the girls' time here. And guess what?" Vicky spoke with her hands behind her, but Eva could already savour a delicious aroma swirling around the room."What?""Ta-da!" She held up her hands from behind her, revealing her cafe's take out bag in her left hand and two blue tumblers with straws placed inside in the right. June had her own tumbler in hand. "I brought you your favourite delicacy just in case you were having that time of the month."Well, she was in her period all right, but that barely accounted for why she was feeling so needy and guilty.Needy for Adam's touch, and guilty that she was still constantly cheating on Brandon in her thoughts and erotic dreams.

Funny how life worked. A year ago, on this very day, Adam had been pissed after Lucas had forced him to tag along to this same masquerade party with him. Now, the rush of emotions he was feeling as he arrived at the venue was on a whole different level; nervousness, anticipation, joy.He was finally going to reignite his relationship with Eva. Or perhaps they were going to start afresh, whatever floated her boat, he thought with a private smile as he slipped his mask on and made his way through the masked people.He'd intentionally worn the same blue suit he'd worn last year accompanied by the same Batman mask. Hopefully, that would help to speed up the process. God, he couldn't wait to be alone with her tonight.Adam scanned the people around who were mingling amidst the tune of the piano playing softly from mystery places. Apparently, Rebecca had decided to change the category of the guests to cut across several people and not just business acquaintances.He spotted Eva before she s
“Me?” Rebecca audibly gasped, obviously having not expected that. Adam nodded, and Rebecca swallowed before finally nodding back. “Let's go inside my office?”Adam signalled for her to take the lead. As he followed, he noticed her secretary giving him a comehither look, obviously wanting to catch his attention.“Merry Christmas.” She whispered, voice sultry.Adam offered her a polite smile just so she wouldn't feel bad and went into Rebecca's office. The place was spacious with a large floor to ceiling window, a couch, an exquisite desk and an equally plush swivel chair. On her desk, she had stacks of files arranged neatly, a computer and then some photoframes that were facing away from him.Rebecca was standing by a drawer in the corner of the room, pouring herself a glass of water, like she thought she was going to need it for this encounter. Done, she set the half empty crystal down before turning to look at him.For an instance, Adam saw something like joy sweep across her feature
It'd been four days. Four freaking days since Eva had issued Adam the ultimatum before leaving for her plane; if he wanted their relationship to return to the blissful period in which it'd once been, he had to at least speak with Rebecca.Even though he'd driven back to LA from Jackson Hole yesterday, he hadn't contacted Eva. She'd called him a few times a day after her flight to LA but Adam hadn't dared to pick up, too filled with shame because he couldn't fulfill her wish even for the sake of their relationship. And angry that she was practically forcing him to do something he didn't want to.Frankly, the thought of seeing Rebecca after so many months filled him with uncertainty and a whole other stream of confusing emotions. He didn't experience the hatred that thinking of her once had made him feel but he guessed he could attribute it to the months of never having seen her.He didn't know how he would react if she was in front of him now.Sighing, Adam returned his gaze from the
As large as the hall was, everything turned silent. Eva scanned their shocked expressions, and nearly flinched when June suddenly stepped forward."What? What do you mean you were with Adam?"Eva swallowed at the bite in her tone. "Uh, he kinda kidnapped me?" She cringed a moment later, realizing how ridiculous that sounded. She wasn't sure there was a better word."I knew it. That bastard!" Xander's voice was filled with unfettered antagonism. "Did he hurt you? I'm gonna beat the shit out of that guy."Xander seemed just about ready to storm out, and Eva placed her hand on his shoulders, hoping to calm him."Xander, he only wanted us to talk.""He only wanted you to talk?" Xander looked at her as if stupefied by her defending Adam. "He took you against your will. That's still kidnapping!""What about the texts you sent all of us? Was that Adam? Did he take your from phone you?" Vicky asked, anger in her voice."No, I sent them myself." She clarified."So why the heck didn't you pick
“This shouldn't have happened.”Adam fluttered his eyes open to find Eva sitting on the edge the couch turned bed, hands stroking her upper arms distractedly.He took in a deep breath. This was exactly what he'd feared; her regrets, even as they'd loved each other many more times throughout the night. That hadn't stopped him from hoping though.Yesterday morning, she'd forced him to book a midday flight which would be today for her. He'd hoped that he would have the whole morning to be with her, to actually convince her to let them to be together. Heck he'd hoped that she would tell him to cancel the flight just so they could spend more time alone at the cabin.He sat up slowly, noticing the daylight peaking through the blinds. No doubt they'd slept into the morning after all the energy they'd exerted last night. The fire in the fireplace had long burned out, and the cabin was now filled with just a bit of cold.“Don't tell me you didn't enjoy all the things we did last night because y
Eva couldn't feel herself breathe, couldn't hear herself breathe. All she felt was the tumultuous pumping of her heart and it's consequent thunderous rushing in her head.Eva West, I'm in love with you.Words she'd only ever dreamed of falling from his lips. Just like that, all her guarder walls crumbled; they couldn't stand in the face of his disarming confession.God, she loved him too, had missed him like fuck, and wanted the same things that he did. She couldn't hold back anymore. Heck, she didn't want to hold back anymore. At least not for tonight.Tonight she wanted to let herself go, to reexperience the blissful feeling of being in Adam's arms. She wanted to let go of her fears, her fears that he would walk out any time when she let herself go with her emotions. She wanted to throw them all under the bus.Before any thought could come and hinder the execution of her next move, Eva had already lunged for Adam, wrapped her arm around his neck and smashed her lips to his.Her kiss
This was going to be harder than he assumed, Adam thought as Eva shrunk away from his touch when he attempted to help her put her skis on.The weather was as cold as fuck, but when he'd asked Eva what she wanted to do, she'd after some long hesitation and impatience said she wanted him to take her to the skiing site. That was why they here in extremely stuffed clothing, the blades of the helicopter whirling and rumbling above them.Eva put on her googles, and without even waiting for him to put his own equipment on, she veered down the snow with an excited yell, ski poles in hand. She'd picked up a lot from the last time they'd come here and he'd tutored her on how to ski. Quickly putting on the last ski, Adam grabbed his sticks from the ground and navigated his way down. He gazed around, lost in the view of the snow-shelthered mountains that seemed to stretch on forever.He focused back on Eva while he was catching up. She suddenly executed a perfect brake with her skiis. Adam was m
After several near wakes with sleep plucking her right into its depths each time, Eva finally forced herself to really wake up. Her first thought was that she was lying in the backseat of a moving car.When did she go from enjoying herself at June's party to being kidnapped?She shot up her torso to sit down, noticing the driver who was wearing a Santa outfit and a Santa cap, but she couldn't see his face.“Who are you? Where are you taking me?” She spat frantically, panic ensuing. “Listen, just tell me what you want and I'll arrange it to be given to you myself. No need for the ransom calls and all.”Her brows furrowed when the person behind the wheel chuckled because the sound was too damn familiar. Her heart leapt when he tilted to look at her. “Believe me love, what I want has nothing to do with money.” A sexy smirk accompanied the sexy drawl in his voice.It was Adam, looking so comical with the fake white beard on his chin that she could've found it amusing.Could have, because
