#Chapter 118 EvelynThe heat grows the more Warren plays with my tongue and nipple. The multitask throws me off the seesaw of equilibrium I'm balancing on.I hear him grunting into my neck as he follows the path down till his lips land on the one place I've been wanting him to be."Beg Evelyn." I'm desperate. All the talking and the touching he did has brought me over the edge. He knows that. I need to come at this point."Please make me come." My mind is too focused on the heat and sensations happening in my body to keep my pride in check."That wasn't so hard." I open my legs as he puts his lips on me. "Oh fuck!" I whimper and try to fight off the hold that has my hands tightened.Warren laps his tongue over and over again on my clit and the slickness increases the more he sucks and kisses.He doesn't have stubble but the tiny hair grazes my swollen and greedy core repeatedly, prompting the sensations by hundred folds.In the midst of that, I can f
#Chapter 119 Evelyn"What the fuck is going on here?" Rage pours out of Michael like poison.My heart sneaks in my chest in fear and I can feel it drumming like it's high on adrenaline."Michael, what are you doing-" Before I can finish the sentence he throws a punch across Warren's face and then pins him to the nearest wall."What are you doing with my sister bastard?" I step toward him and his hard glare freezes me on the spot."I asked you a fucking question." Michael shouts at Warren, but he remains calm."I want to fucking kill you." My brother slams Warren into the wall and I see him closing his eyes in pain.I pull Michael away from Warren and stand in between them. "Stop hurting him."For a second my brother stares at me like I've grown two heads. His face contorts into surprise and a frown dips his eyebrows."This is Warren. The dickhead who hurt you a decade ago. The one you were crying for in the middle of the night. So spare me if I want to
#Chapter 120 EvelynShame washes over me as I think about Michael. Of course, he would never know about this, but I feel humiliated. Changing into one of Michael's old shirts I get ready for bed. Because for now, that's the closest I can get to him. Warren sits beside me and strokes my hair as he watches me softly. His fingers play with my bangs and I love the feel of them occasionally brushing against my skin."It's not your fault." His eyes sweep over my face."It feels like it."With a sigh, he takes off his watch and puts it on my side table. Drawing his eyes back on me he continues, "it's not. You're following your heart.""What if it leads me to heartbreak? He'll just say 'I told you so.' ""Not this time."I close my eyes and wrap my arms around my front as I miss Miles. I know he won't be joining me tonight. He's mad at me for sending Michael away. He's smart enough to figure out everything. "Sleep. I'll be here in the morning.""Michael may
#Chapter 121 EvelynOn Friday Warren comes to pick me up for a lunch date. It's a surprise visit, one that I get in the middle of my weekly meeting with Beth and the team. But like a good boyfriend-mine does mean he's that but-he waits for me in my office.When I enter it, his lips are on mine, and softly and sweetly he drinks every single worry of mine. "Hi." His hot breath peppers my mouth and instead of greeting him, I dive for another kiss. An earth-shattering kiss that's wild and fiery. More like us. "Hey you." My voice is breathy and my heart is slamming against my chest."Get your stuff. We're going out." He demands. Part of me wants to be stubborn and show him that he can't boss me around. But I'm slowly losing the fight in me. The less I hear from Michael, the more my heart breaks.I get my purse and leave Miles with Tinsely who's eager to play with him. Warren opens the door for me to an Audi that's black and sleek. Once inside he joins me and we
#Chapter 122 EvelynI admire a lot of traits in a person. But effort ranks on the top. Because if someone truly wants you, they will go above and beyond to be with you. "It is enough Evelyn. More than enough." Warren speaks softly."Good." "Are you free tomorrow?""No." "Why not?"Drinking some wine I take another bite of the delicious pasta. "Jessica is raising money for her grandma's surgery by selling merch. Tomorrow's the photoshoot for it and I'll be busy with that.""I'll be there." He says casually as if he's got all the time in the world."You don't have to." "I want to.""Why?""Because you'll be there."Grinning widely I push away my empty plate and take a turn at the salad. "Getting clingy Mr. Archer?" "More like addicted." The razor sharp stare he gives me sets every atom of my body on fire. Day by day, he's marking me until there'd be no place vacant of his touch."You're silly." I say."I think I heard genius.""
#Chapter 123 EvelynA guttural curse escapes his lips and satisfaction chimes in my head. But all of it fades away as his palm lands on my asscheek and the area aches so badly.No one in my life has ever degraded me like this. Ever. Warren adds another and I whimper as he dips my head down and his tip hits the back of my throat. Withdrawing me back up he tilts my head back and looks at me. "¿Cuántos eran esos mi amor?" "What?" I utter in a coarse tone."How many were those?" "Two." I close my eyes as his finger massages my scalp."Wrong." Warren smoothes his palm over my ass and I'm anticipating a slap but he slips his finger inside the bundle of muscles that are damp with arousal. "Fuck! You're so wet Lina." He pulls so slowly that I'm crying in pleasure. "Please Warren." I beg. And I hate every second of it."Will you listen to me next time?" My mouth opens in bewilderment as he looks down at me. "Absolutely not.""That's what I thought." The
#Chapter 124 EvelynA lazy smile adorns his face. "But you've owned me since the moment I first laid my eyes on you."As he rides me on my third orgasm and I straddle his lap. I hug him so closely that my heart is beating next to his. I don't know what I'll do if Michael asks me to choose between him and Warren. I love both of them but so differently. One is blood, and the other is love-the kind I'll never find again. I've tried but ten years later I'm wrapped in the same arms which held me the time I cried because my friend didn't invite me to their party. The seventeen-year-old me was devastated. But Warren took me out to some cheap diner and later we stargazed at the top of a hill. "If you want an adolescent title then so be it." I pull back from his chest and look at him. His thumb is playing with my clit and I'm second away. "I want you to be my girlfriend."I chuckle and peck his lips. "We need to work on your communication skills.""That isn't the ans
#Chapter 125 Evelyn"Why the fuck didn't you tell me?" He sits on the coffee table and stares at me in agony."I didn't know how to. Also I didn't want to worry you. You had an important shoot.""Fuck D&G and Versace. I would have canceled everything and been there for you." "I didn't want you to do that. You worked hard to get those deals." I say gently."Evelyn, some dickhead assaulted you and you expected me to focus on my career. When you know that I wouldn't be here in the first place if it weren't for you."Standing up I rush to the kitchen and pour myself a glass of water. The steam coming out of the pots draws my attention and I look inside. In one pot there's fried rice, and in the other chicken sauce is cooking. Michael is making fried chili chicken. The dish he knows I love because mom used to make it. I turn the stove off as the food looks cooked. "You could have told me later." Michael sits at the stool."It took a lot for me to tell Ivan
#Chapter 153 EvelynWarren puts me on the bed and hovers over me the next second. His nose grazes my jawline and his hands move up and down my waist.I press my legs together feeling the heat in my belly grow."How do you want me to fuck you tonight?"My breathing slows down as he peppers my skin with wet kisses that have my toes curling."Like you always do." I whisper as his hand slips under my warmer and runs over my stomach."Get rid of all these clothes." He grumbles and pulls back.In a haste I remove my warmer and then work on my jeans and shoes. Warren is busy getting rid of his suit. Once we're both in our undergarments we stop and stare at each other.We've had sex so many times yet tonight something is different. It feels like we're finally free from the shackles of the past-at least I am.I feel free. There isn't constant sadness and despair weighing on my chest anymore. I forgave Warren for everything but in reality it feels like I'
#Chapter 152 WarrenI've hurt her. I can see that. But I can't take my words back. The dark and malicious side of my brain is feeding me these lines. Telling me that whatever we had was just because she wanted to use me. Maybe she did."Wow. You're unbelievable." Evelyn says and puts away her wine-filled glass on the table.Getting up she hurries to leave but I catch her wrist and pull to me. My arm wraps around her and I press her body against mine. My senses go hazy and my heart starts racing at the feel of her body. "That was a shitty thing to say." I admit.Tears fill her eyes and she nods. "It was."I wipe away the tear that falls down her cheek and then caress her face with my thumb. It hasn't been so long but I miss her so damn much.Now that she's standing in front of me all I want to do is touch her, kiss her and love her. I want to hold her so tightly that she can never go away from me. "Tell me why you're here? The naked truth this time.
#Chapter 151 WarrenSitting in the boardroom I flip through the notes for my speech. I don't have a lot to say but I have a few things I want to touch upon before the holidays.It's the last day of work today. And everyone will go home after this meeting.All the important members are seated as everyone waits for Rowan.Just as the clock hits ten AM Rowan walks in and takes the seat at the head of the table. "You may begin." He says to Janice who starts the presentation she and I worked on for the past week.As she rambles on I catch a few glances at Rowan to track his thoughts but he's a blank book. Like a laser his eyes study Janice and the slides in grave concentration. When Janice finishes we review the blueprints that need a final say from him. But before that I have to give my thoughts as the CEO of the company that will bring this vision to life.Taking the pager I stand in front and pull up my presentation. I open my mouth to speak when a string of n
#Chapter 150 WarrenI hate New York.I've been here for two weeks and I can't fathom how people live here. It's so fucking cold. And the snow keeps on accumulating each day. The famous city is buzzing with Christmas energy. Colorful lights are wrapped around shops, Christmas drinks are a full-show and wreaths and impressively decorative Christmas trees are everywhere. There's so much joy and laughter in the air that I'm sick of it.It's not that I hate Christmas because I don't. For the past years I've gotten used to celebrating this day on my own, and sometimes with Connor. His family invites me over and I attend the exquisite dinner his mom cooks. Gifts are exchanged. It's nice, but not homey. When I return home it's me and my empty penthouse and that kills the spirit. In New York even Connor isn't here and it's boring and depressing.Since I've arrived I've been working a lot. I only go to sleep when my eyes begin to water and exhaustion takes over me.
#Chapter 149 Evelyn"All the flights are booked. I can't go to New York." Ivan and Yasmine mutter curses at the situation."God. It's like I'm not meant to go there." I complain, hating how everything seems to be stopping me. I opened the website to book a flight and it kept crashing. I spent all day trying to get it to work but it wouldn't work. And the next day when everything was back in order the prices were so high my eyes almost bulged out in shock. With a heavy heart I booked a seat but the page kept having issues. By evening all the empty seats were gone and I couldn't find a single seat."Don't blame the universe." Ivan says in a stern tone."Yeah sure. It seems to help me quite a lot. It's snowing so much I can't even go to the airport to buy a ticket myself." I say in an aggravated tone. "We'll figure it out Evelyn." Yasmine assures me."I don't know. Everything is closed. An airplane is my only chance." I say in a gloomy tone."You shouldn't
#Chapter 148 EvelynTwo weeks have gone since Warren and I broke up. But it feels like I'm still stuck in that night when he was inside me and told me how much he loves me. I was always a bit in doubt about his real feelings toward me, but that night cleared everything for me. Warren loves me and has loved me since high school. My heart explodes in joy but sorrow filters in the next second. The past weeks have been nothing but dry and boring for me. Nothing interests me.Jessica and I have been splitting work due to the flow of orders. Apparently, Noah and his sister raved about my company at the wedding and now more people have approached me. It's surreal and I feel happy. But that also means there's a lot of work which I'm appreciating. I've become a workaholic. From making designs till late at night to holding long meetings. I keep myself as busy as I can but the ache in my chest refuses to disappear.No amount of work or long drives helps me take my mind
#Chapter 147 Warren"Do you still have the New York project?" Rowan looks up at me with calculating eyes as he sees me coming into his office. "Yes.""Bring it over for the signature." I unbutton my jacket and sit in the chair across from his desk. Eerie silence fills the room as Rowan stares at me. "You want it or not?" I ask in a gritted tone annoyed that he's wasting my damn time."You broke up with Evelyn." He says astutely and makes me grind my molars."It's none of your fucking business., but what is your business is that New York project."Rowan leans over the desk and criss-crosses his fingers. "Watch that tone with me, Archer."Clenching my jaw I look away from his annoying face and stare at the sunset that adorns the evening sky. Fuck the sunsets. I don't like them anymore.Okay that's a lie. "You wanted me to sign the project for months. Now I'm here.""You're a little too late for my patience. But since you're the best I'll set my p
#Chapter 146 EvelynOn my way I buy two bottles of cheap wine and arrive at Yasmine's place. She lives with her mom outside the city in a nice big house with a picket fence. Her house looks dreamy and feels like home. I texted Ivan to come. By the time I pull up at her house it's two in the morning, and I'm emotionally tired and physically numb. Yet still I can hear my heart aching in excruciating pain.The lights are on as I make my way to the door. Before I can knock, it opens, and my two best friends look at me and pull me in a hug. I let the tears stream down my face. Miles goes frantic beside me and I try to calm him down, but he's not having it. Sitting on the couch in the living room I pull him on my lap and rub his fur in long slow strokes."Where's your mom?" I ask Yasmine."She's with Aunt Riley for the weekend." I nod and put the bottle on the table.Ivan and Yasmine sit across from me and pour wine into the glasses."So I guess this i
#Chapter 145 EvelynI swear my lungs stop working, my heart stops beating and my mind goes blank. For a nanosecond my world stops spinning and I do nothing but lie and stare at him.My heart breaks inside my chest and tears cloud my vision."I've loved you for ten years. It's you. It'll always be you. It doesn't matter if another decade goes by, for me it'll always only be you." He says.Tears escape my eyes and reach my ears. The orgasm I was experiencing vanishes."Stop. I can't." I fight my wrists in his hold and he lets go of me and pulls out of me. Quickly I sit up and cover myself with his sheets as he slips on a pair of boxers. Picking up his shirt he hands it to me but I don't take it."We need to talk." There's a finality to his tone. Taking the shirt I wear it and then wipe away my tears. Warren sits at the foot of the bed and looks at me. "What's the matter?"I laugh hard. "The matter is love can't erase the past between us."Warre
