Adam scanned the exhibition room, taking in the several nature and wildlife photographs that lined the smooth blue plaster walls, and the several people who were busy checking them out and discussing among themselves."Congrats, Adam. You never cease to amaze me." A middle-aged man passing by told him with a smile.Adam smiled back at him. He'd lost count of the number of congratulations he'd received tonight.It seemed that every year, his fanbase grew, and so did the people who were willing to buy his photographs. It surprised him how marvelled people were, even at the photos he'd taken when he'd been least inspired. Eva had been right about how much people were going to love them.The thought of Eva made him let out a sigh of longing. There wasn't a single day that he didn't think of her or consider Victoria's suggestion to go seduce her into stopping her wedding so they could be together.But he knew doing exactly the opposite was the best option. He'd had enough instability to la
Adam set Eva down slowly, then braced his hands against the wall as if to maintain his balance, their bodies still connected. He rested his forehead against the wall beside her head, his ragged breaths fanning her face as Eva tried to even her own breathing.Finally, he pulled out of her, causing her to whimper at the loss. “That was exquisite.” Eva said huskily, expecting him to respond in kind.Instead, he looked at her with a perplexed expression, as if he couldn't quite understand her. “Hey, what's wrong?”Pulling his boxer and pants up, he began to buckle up his belt. “Why did this just happen?”“Because we both wanted it.” She replied and chuckled nervously, wondering why he sounded upset.“Because we both wanted it?” He huffed and stepped in front of her again, crowding her personal space as his searching eyes bored into hers. “At least the last time, you'd sort of called off the wedding. Now you're actually cheating on Brandon."“Adam, it's not it. I...” She placed his hand
“Adam Garcia?”“That's me.”“This is yours, Adam.”Adam quirked a brow at the young man in front of him holding a box of what looked to be pizza. “I didn't order pizza.”“I know. The person who asked me to deliver this is a friend.” “Okay, so who's this friend who sent this?” Adam asked with a grimace.The young man rubbed his neck awkwardly. “Can't tell. Says you'll know who it is once you open it.” There was something abashed about his smile.“Well thank you.” Adam returned the young man's smile, closing the door after he'd left. He crossed over to the living room, setting the pizza box on his glass centerpiece, curious to know who'd sent him this.Just hope it isn't a bomb.The thought made him grimace, and he tore the covering. The content of the box had him blinking and doing a double take. It wasn't a bomb. It was pizza, two slices of it. One shaped like a huge dick deliberately shoved into another slice shaped like a pussy.It took him several seconds to realize this was real.
Text me the address this instant, you devil.Eva's heart leapt as she read Adam's text, excitement making her squeal silently. So Vicky's plans had worked after all. Yesterday, after Eva had forced Vicky to confess that she'd spoken to Adam and was the one who'd probably put the idea in his head that she was her mother's lapdog, the other woman out of guilt had been ever willing to help her lure Adam back.Then the plan with the cake and pizza and panties were born. Even though she knew Adam was going to use that to tease her for a long time, it was a small price to pay for what she was about to gain. At least, hoped she was about to gain.God, it was crazy how giddy a man could make her feel, but even as she thought that, she knew it really wasn't. She'd finally come to terms with what Adam did to her. It wasn't just feelings, she'd fallen in love with him. Hard, and she knew gaining enough strength to crawl out of the emotion wasn't something she could achieve on a silver platter.
Eva waited till Adam was done dressing up. He grabbed her left hand with his right hand as they made their way out of the room, interlacing their fingers. Eva's heart swelled as she smiled at him affectionately.Something had changed. Something she couldn't put her fingers on, but she felt like Adam was putting in some effort, even if she could still sense that bit of uncertainty about him.Forte music assailed their ears immediately they began making their way down the stairs, making Eva cringe. Trust June to host a party that people with ear problems could never attend.Raul was doing a body shot on a girl wearing a tank top and lying on a table that hadn't been there an hour ago, his tongue licking through her navel, then travelling upwards until he reached her mouth and took the slice of apple from between her teeth, using the opportunity to kiss her.Eva looked towards June and had to shake her head. While everyone was cheering, she looked like she was going to be sick. She still
She was going insane, of that June had no doubt, skipping up the stairs while pulling Raul along, under the full glare of so many people. Intentions all too clear. But she didn't care. She was too swamped by the need coiling tighter and tighter inside her to care.Too swamped to care about anything but him, the man who crashed his lips to hers immediately they reached the apex of the stairs, the man who gripped her by the thighs, hoisting her up. The one whose waist she wrapped her legs around like they'd always been doing this.His tongue swept out, sliding across her lips, and she allowed him entry with an urgency that stole her breath. Two months of denying her feelings for Raul was kicking back at her with a vengeance.She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck, drawing him deeper into her, chest to chest, his tongue exploring every recess of her mouth. A door clicked open and they entered a room.It took Raul throwing her onto a bed so he could take off his white T-shirt and h
Adam shook his head vehemently as he stepped closer to Alfredo. "You're not sick, bro. The two of you are not related by blood. And who doesn't know that Raul is gorgeous? It's perfectly normal for you to have feelings for him. I think I even had a crush on him once. Don't get like that.""I know you must be wondering..." Alfredo smiled wryly. "Why June? Why did I never feel this way when he dated other girls? It's because I'm not stupid. With the others, it was clear that all he wanted was sex, but with June? He talks about her all the time, even if it's to claim he finds her extremely annoying. Damnit, he dreams about her. What he feels for her is obviously something more. I think he's in love with her. He's never going to look at me that way, Adam."Alfredo's voice broke on the last sentence, and he lunged at Adam in a hug when tears spilled from his eyes. Adam stiffened, then awkwardly wrapped his arms around his best friend. It didn't help that he'd never seen Alfredo crying in t
After stripping her bare, Adam's gaze roved over her body appraisingly, brightening with lust. Stepping close, he attempted to begin unbuttoning his shirt. Eva placed her hand on his to stop him. “Let me undress you.”A grin fitted on his lips. Eva pointed a finger at him when he seemed about to speak. “Don't you dare tease me.” she warned. Adam widened his eyes, his hand travelling to his lips, the other giving her a mock salute. Eva snorted. “You're so unfunny.”“Is 'unfunny' even a word?” “Yes, dummy.” She rolled her eyes, and Adam chuckled. Done unbuttoning his shirt, she parted the two sides open and let her hands wander from his chest to his belly and then back, relishing the feel of his harx chest and pecs and abs, loving the arousing structures beneath her palms. Adam sighed softly, tilting his arms to allow her to take off his shirt.Eva threw the blue material away and lowered her head, kissing him on the chest. His nipples seemed erect, and tempted, Eva surrounded one wi

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
