Evelyn"What is it?" Cameron asked as we walked by the beach. This was the third time he'd asked me that question. The first two times, I’d brushed it off with, "Nothing. I just didn’t sleep well last night." But this time, I knew he wouldn't let it go without a more substantial answer."You wouldn't understand, Cameron, even if I told you," I sighed, rubbing my arms as the wind brushed past us. The weather was sunny, yet the breeze was chillingly cold—a bizarre contrast, much like my feelings for Jacob.I was truly shameless for wanting him back, wasn't I? God, I probably didn't have an ounce of dignity left."So what is it? Are you going to reveal you have some duty to nature? The second Wonder Woman?" he chuckled, clearly trying to lighten the mood as always, “Please, don't go, Evelyn—other heroes can save the world. You should just save me."A small snicker escaped my lips at his words. I could feel Jacob's eyes on me as he sat on a beach lounge, being glared at by Mason, who loun
Evelyn"You know, people might get the wrong idea if they see you carrying me like this—we don't have anything going on between us," I finally blurted after two minutes of tense silence. My words tumbled out, driven by a mix of nervous energy and that annoying urge to clarify what basically shouldn't need clarification. It wasn't like two minutes was an eternity, but my restless mind couldn't help filling the quiet.The beach house came into view, stirring memories of all the good times we'd shared there. This was where I'd fallen for him, where watching him sleep had made me realize I'd never love anyone more.People fall in love in the most unexpected ways and none knows it better than me."Did I say we have anything going on, Evelyn?" he sighed. His tone wasn’t teasing, and there was no hint of amusement on his face. Just concern, his eyes repeatedly checking my knee. It wasn’t even bleeding much, just a painful scratch, but being in Jacob's arms again... that was a different kind
EvelynJacob’s body froze the moment my lips met his. In that fraction of a second, the rational part of me screamed to use my fucking brain and pull away, but the foolish, greedy, hungry part didn’t listen. It refused to let go because it wanted this—wanted him. Close. Right here. With me.With his lips against mine.When he didn’t move, I kissed him softly, my lips brushing against his. Then, as if a dam had broken, his body relaxed, and he grabbed the back of my neck, plunging his tongue into my mouth.Holy…This is a very stupid decision, Evelyn. Stop before it’s too late.Just fucking stop.I wanted to heed the warning in my mind, but my body, my soul, and now even my mind had betrayed me. I was consumed by overwhelming desire, longing, and the love I’d tried so hard to bury. The fire within me was too vast, too intense. I couldn’t tame it, but this kiss... as much as it fueled the flames, it soothed them too. It calmed my soul, sating the torturous urges, making up for those ago
EvelynAs the words left his mouth, I froze on the spot. My eyes widened, my throat dried up, and I stared at him, unblinking.How did he know? The question echoed in my mind, rattling me to my core. Had he just figured it out now, or had he known all along and chosen not to say anything? A flood of questions bombarded my thoughts, leaving me speechless, unable to react, caught in a web of silence and confusion. I had no words. No reaction. No way ahead of me to get myself out of this state where silence had gripped me like a vice. Strong and painfully.Cameron stepped inside, his expression unreadable as he stood in front of me.“How... how did you know?” I finally managed to ask, the words bitter on my tongue. Guilt gnawed at me. I’d hidden this from Cameron all along, and there was no excuse for it—what I’d done was wrong, and there was no way to justify it. Neither did I want to justify it.Cameron remained silent for a moment, then let out a small sigh. He gently grabbed my hands
EvelynDad’s idea of the picnic to lighten the mood was a total flop. After my conversations with Jacob and Cameron, not a single part of me felt light. I felt heavy—really heavy. It was as if a crushing weight was pressing down on my heart, threatening to tear it apart from within. Throughout the picnic, even though I managed to force a smile, I couldn’t genuinely enjoy or feel happy, even for a moment. That was just it—I am not gonna lie—my mental state was getting worse.After Cameron’s comforting words, I hoped I could relax and enjoy this mini vacation with my friends and family. But that sense of ease, which Cameron had offered me on a silver platter, vanished quickly. With each passing second, and with Jacob’s presence in front of me, I was starkly reminded that the person I might end up hurting could be… Cameron.But I didn’t want it to be this way.I’d do everything fucking possible to ensure I didn’t return to Jacob.As beautiful as the memories with him were, the trauma he
EvelynI couldn’t tell you how we ended up in my bedroom; it all happened too fast. More likely at the speed of the wind.One moment, I was convincing myself this would be just a kiss, a simple touch of our lips and that’s it. But the next, we were both consumed—starving for more, burning with a need that had been ignited by days of longing, of missing each other’s warmth, touch, and presence.I matched his fervor as his lips claimed mine, my back sinking into the softness of the mattress. His tongue swept into my mouth, and I met every movement with equal intensity—every nip, every bite, every touch mirrored in a desperate ache of desire.This wasn’t just passion; it was the hunger of days spent apart, the warmth we had missed, the touch we had craved with every fiber of our beings. It was everything we had been deprived of because of the distance that had stretched between us, like a cruel force keeping us from what we needed most—each other.Words became unnecessary, lost in the ha
EvelynMy eyes widened slightly as the realization struck me: Jacob, looming over me, breath heavy, his eyes locked on mine, and his cock buried deep inside me, still hadn't come. The situation promised a long, relentless night—not that I minded, but it had been a while since we'd had a night like this. Nervousness and excitement twisted together, leaving my mind in a haze. But my body knew exactly what it wanted. As I gazed at Jacob—sweaty, hot, and panting—my needs began to build once more.In the space of a few seconds, our eyes met, and I was more than ready for another round.Jacob's hand slid around my throat, his grip firm but controlled. He leaned down, capturing my bottom lip between his teeth, the cool metal of his gold chain brushing against my skin, sending shivers down my spine."You have no idea how much I've missed this, baby," he murmured, his lips trailing lower until he took my nipple between his teeth, his touch reigniting the fire that had barely cooled.I wasn't
EvelynAs I stirred from the fog of sleep, I couldn’t tell if it was still night or if morning had already come. But that wasn’t what truly mattered. What I should have been worrying about was how I had no idea if I had passed out from sheer exhaustion when Jacob had me on all fours, fucking me like an animal until I saw stars behind my eyelids—or was it when he took both my arse and pussy at once, pushing me beyond anything I’d ever felt? Or maybe it was when he made me ride him, one more time, before finally letting me collapse.Wait... did I actually faint? Or not?I had this nagging feeling I did, but everything from last night was a blur, like trying to see through heavy fog. It was hard to tell where sleep ended and memory began because it still clung to me like a fucking weighted blanket, making it hard to move. Maybe it was the exhaustion. Or maybe... it was the peace. The peace that seeped into my bones because of Jacob’s warmth beside me. It wrapped around me, comforting, e
Evelyn"You know, Evelyn... you're the only woman I've ever met who complains about shopping too much," Jacob chuckled, his deep voice resonating with amusement as we strolled down the pavement hand-in-hand.I rolled my eyes, but the smile tugging at my lips betrayed me. After a marathon of "extra shopping" we'd stuffed the car's backseat with bags and parked nearby for a walk—because I insisted, of course.As we wandered through the peaceful evening, enjoying the crisp air and easy conversation, my eyes suddenly caught sight of a street-side ice cream shop. I stopped mid-step, my gaze locking onto the neon-lit counter like a moth to a flame.Jacob noticed immediately. "You want ice cream?" he asked, already grinning."Yes, please!" I chirped, tugging him toward the shop.When we reached the counter, Jacob, knowing me better than anyone, placed the order without hesitation. "One cookies and cream, please.""And," I added, "a mint chocolate chip."He raised a brow at me. "Evelyn, I don
Evelyn I had somehow managed to send Jacob to the office after an entire week of… well, do I even need to spell it out? Let’s just say we thoroughly tested every surface in the house—counters, the floor, the bed, the shower, the bathtub—nothing was spared.We’d been inseparable. And even now, sitting alone on the couch, I found myself missing his warmth. Usually, by this time of day, I’d be curled up in his arms, both of us pretending to watch cartoons on the TV. I liked them because they were silly and comforting; he liked them because he could watch me laugh.But today, the cartoons felt hollow. I sighed, flipping through channels, hoping to stumble upon something decent.And then, there it was.I paused mid-click as a familiar name from the news anchor pierced through my disinterest.“Tyler Ricci…”My hand froze, the remote slipping from my grasp as the screen showed him—Tyler Ricci, striding into a courthouse, his lawyers trailing behind like shadows.“Tyler Ricci, CEO and propri
EvelynJacob drove with reckless abandon, the car slicing through the night as the engine roared. The wind rushed in through my open window, sharp as a blade yet strangely smooth, wrapping around my hand as I held it outside. The music played softly in the background, barely audible over the wind's howl. Jacob had his hand on my thigh, soft and soothing.I glanced at him. His focus was entirely on the road, his jaw set in quiet determination. Unable to resist, I leaned closer, kissing his jawline, then his cheek, then trailing it slowly to the corner of his mouth.His eyes flicked toward me, his grip on my thigh tightening, the green of his irises darkening like the night enveloping us.Teasingly, I shifted my lips to the other corner of his mouth, hovering just enough to feel his breath. Then, I brushed against his lips, soft and deliberate. I felt him stiffen beneath me."We could both die right now, Evelyn," he growled, his voice low and warning. "Do you want that?""What if I said
Evelyn"You know people are going to think we're weird if you keep looking at me like that," I said, shifting awkwardly in my seat. My attempt to maintain a composed smile was failing miserably, and the heat creeping up my neck warned me a blush was imminent.After an exhausting hour of meeting Jacob’s business associates, Enzo’s friends, and a handful of extended family members, we had finally found a moment to sit. But Jacob—predictably—wasn’t letting the moment breathe. His eyes were locked on me, piercing and unwavering, as if I were the only person in the room."I don’t give a fuck about what people think," he replied, his tone casual but his gaze anything but. He leaned in, the back of his fingers brushing against my cheek, sending a shiver down my spine. "I’m admiring my girlfriend. That’s nobody’s business but mine."A smile threatened to break free as I looked at him, trying to keep my composure. "You really have an answer for everything, don’t you?"He grinned, that maddenin
Evelyn"Honey, you look absolutely ravishing in this dress," Eliot declared as he ran his fingers through his green hair—a habitual gesture he repeated every two minutes without fail. His lips curled into a grin as he added, "God! You’re a freaking goddess!" He pressed his fingers against his lips dramatically, as if silencing his own awe.A soft chuckle escaped me as I reached out to ruffle his hair. "Thanks, Ellie.""You’re most welcome, Evie," he replied before turning to his assistant, who had already begun packing up their tools and supplies.I shifted my gaze to the mirror, unable to suppress a small smile at my reflection. The black, one-shoulder evening gown shimmered subtly, hugging my curves in all the right places. My hair, neatly styled into an elegant bun, paired perfectly with the understated nude makeup that complemented my skin tone. The black heels added a touch of height, accentuating my posture and elongating my frame.Well, I looked really pretty today.No one else
EvelynAfter what felt like an hour of relentless bickering and a barely controlled wrestling match, Jacob and Bianca finally collapsed onto the couch. Both were panting, disheveled, and bruised—though we all knew Jacob had gone easy on her. Let’s be real: one solid punch from him could probably send ten Evelyns and ten Biancas straight to heaven."Are you two done now?" I asked, trying—and failing—not to laugh. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined I’d witness two grown adults behaving like this."Yeah," they grumbled in unison, their synchronized reply only making my lips twitch with amusement."Great," I said, standing up. "Once you two finish catching your breath, we’re setting the table together. I’m starving, and I’m sure you are too."Jacob, of course, couldn’t help himself. "Well, I doubt we can eat if Bianca cooked."Bianca’s head snapped up like she’d been personally insulted by the gods. "Excuse me, you absolute piece of shit in the name of human! If you don’t want to e
Evelyn “We’re already late,” I sighed, resting my chin against his chest. “We really need to get up and head to Bianca’s, or she’s going to kill us.”“We can be a little late,” he murmured, effortlessly flipping us so I was on my back, with him hovering above me. Slowly, he buried his nose in the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply. “God, you smell so good.”“Dummy,” I chuckled, threading my fingers through his hair and massaging his scalp. “It’s already past breakfast time. If we don’t get there soon, she’ll be plotting our deaths.”He hummed, pressing a kiss to the spot between my neck and shoulder before trailing his nose along my jawline. “Trust me, baby. Since she invited us for breakfast, she probably has a secret dinner planned too. Besides, she knows us.”“She knows us?” I raised an eyebrow, gently grabbing his jaw and making him look at me. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“What I mean,” he began, his left hand slipping under the duvet and tracing my inner thigh, “is that she k
Sometimes, just when you think you’ve finally reached solid ground, life finds a way to pull the rug out from under you. One moment, everything seems to be falling into place, and the next, it's unraveling faster than you can hold it together. Evelyn and Jacob are bracing for the fiercest storm they've ever faced—a storm that will test them in ways they never imagined. This isn't just another bump in the road; it’s a plunge into depths they’ve never explored. Get ready, because this time, they’re on a rollercoaster that’s about to dive even deeper, with twists and turns they may not come back from unchanged. It’s time to dive deeper. *** “You’re too young for a child, Evelyn. Don’t you get it?” Jacob’s voice thundered. “You can’t have that baby.” “Why not?!” I shot back, defiant and trembling. “I have a say in this too! This is my choice. I’m keeping the baby, Jacob, whether you like it or not.” Jacob groaned, running a frustrated hand through his hair. “Evelyn, I really don’t h
Evelyn “Welcome back.” Jacob scooped me up the moment I stepped inside the apartment, spinning us around before I even had a chance to take a step on my own. I laughed, holding on tighter as he twirled us, our laughter filling the familiar space.“Silly,” I whispered as he settled us on the couch, cradling me in his lap like a baby. Jacob always treated me like one, and honestly, I didn’t mind being spoiled. After the long flight, I should’ve felt tired, but the moment we breathed in the air of Italy, any exhaustion disappeared. And being back in this apartment, where we’d built so many memories—the good, the hard, the unforgettable—felt as sweet as it was bittersweet.“You have no idea how empty this place felt after you left,” Jacob murmured, his eyes scanning my face as if memorizing every detail. “It was like I was dying a little every day. The silence, missing your warmth, your scent, the soft sound of your footsteps… it all just killed me, baby. I love you.” His forehead presse
