Chapter 18: Rebellious Plan

Evelyn's POV

Around 7 p.m., I quietly left the packhouse, heading to the small tavern where Trent told me to meet him.

I didn’t expect to run into Asher at the entrance.

"Evelyn." he walked over as soon as he saw me, "Going somewhere?"

The moment I saw his face, images from last night’s dream immediately flashed across my mind.

He was wild in that dream, making me cum again and again, my head kept hitting the headboard.

And now, seeing him all proper and well-dressed in front of me, I suddenly felt too embarrassed to face him.

"N-nothing… OK. Bye." I mumbled, trying to walk past him.

But he grabbed my arm.

His fingers touched my skin. I immediately jolted as if I’d been shocked and pulled my arm away.

"What was that?" He looked at me seriously.

"…What?"

"Why did you pull away?" He asked directly, staring right at me. "You’re avoidind me. What happened?"

I groaned inside.

These men in power... they're really hard to deal with.

"It’s not you… it’s me," I muttered.

He took a step closer.
