To make matters worse, she has to share her office with the annoyingly arrogant man while denying her growing attraction. Through bickering, misunderstandings, betrayals and a forced marriage, can they have their happy ending? Will Evan be able to tame the Beast...or will he lose his heart, instead?

Taming the Beast Chapter Ten: Calling Her Out
“I’d love to,” Evan answered Kat’s parents automatically later that evening.Much to her annoyance, he had rarely left her side. It was enough to spark rumors that the two were dating or at least in the process. Despite Kat's best efforts to separate from him, he always managed to return to her. No matter how many models she’d introduced him to, the man stuck to her like glue.“I’d be honored to take your daughter home.” He turned to the woman beside him. “Shall we?” He held out his arm.Kat grimaced in distaste. “Goodnight,” She said to the older couple before turning towards the exit.Evan caught her arm before she stumbled. He pulled her tightly against his side. “You really must try n

“What? When did I agree to this?” Kat gasped, watching in consternation as endless racks filled with dresses rolled her way. She had hoped to blend into the background, her presence tonight only that of a supportive daughter. Now she was being roped into filling in for a sick model.“Please, honey, we are short one model and the show’s about to start in less than an hour.” May pleaded urgently.“What about Cece or Minnie or Lisa? Can’t you ask one of them?” Her beautiful sisters were better suited than she.“I need a petite model, sweetie. You know I design for all shapes and sizes...your measurements are most similar to Justine’s.”Kat groaned. “But, Mom—“ She began.

Evan moved his lips over hers, coaxing them to open. His hands caressed her waist and back. He groaned when he felt her hands tighten on his forearms. She gave into temptation in that instant, opening her mouth to his intruding tongue. They clung to each other for what seemed like an eternity, learning each other’s taste. He trailed his lips down her neck, licking and kissing her soft skin. She moaned and held onto him, her fingers tangled in his thick hair. Evan breathed in her sweet scent, moving his hands to her buttoned shirt. He kissed the upper part of chest.“Wait! Stop!” She pulled his hair, forcing his head from her chest.Evan went for her lips. Kat bit his tongue not too gently. When he released her with a curse, she moved away quickly.“Ouch! What the hell was that for?&rdqu

“Who are you?” Evan asked the empty room. He stared up at the ceiling, his mind on the beautiful woman of this morning.“Who is who?” Kat asked, walking through the door. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail and she was wearing a black gym suit.“None of your business,” Evan told her. He assessed her attire and asked, “On your way to the gym?”Kat nodded. She went to her desk, opened her drawer and pulled out a stack of papers before shoving them into her backpack.“Wait,” Evan got up. “I’ve been here all day and I can’t seem to concentrate. How about I join you?”Kat merely shrugged but she waited for him by the door as he

"Kat!" Serena Moore pulled the covers back from her cousin's still form.Kat opened her eyes and glared at the older woman."What do you want?" She asked, turning onto her side and burrowing her face back under the blanket.Having spent most of the night cursing Evan Alston for his vile behavior, she had finally fallen to sleep a few hours before dawn.Needless to say, the interruption by her favorite relative wasn't welcomed."Come on, sleepy-head.Wake up," Serena patted Kat's bum lightly."It's nearing ten o'clock,""So what?It's Saturday—my day off!" Kat whined."You're having brunch with Princess Penelope, remember?" Serena pulled the sheets completely off the bed.

She had revealed too much of herself already.The man was still a stranger, sure to remain a mere acquaintance, at best.Kat didn't want to confess her insecurities to him, unsure of his true motives.She had no clue how trustworthy the man was...he was a criminal lawyer, after all. Besides that, he was her enemy, having usurped the position she coveted more than anything else. Why reveal her weaknesses to a man that could use them for his own benefit? “Are you trying to prove yourself? To your family? Former bullies?” “If I said yes, would you quit? Of course not! So why bother with the reason? We’re not inclined to be friends, Dean Alston. The sooner you’re in your own office, the better.” “Why? Does my presence interfere with your work?”

“How much do I owe you for the clothes?” Kat found Evan in their office later that day. “Don’t worry about it—it was my fault to begin with,” He said, smiling at her. “Consider it a gift,” “That’s too bad because I don’t accept gifts as apologies, especially from strangers,” “We’re hardly strangers, Kat. I have, after all, seen you in varying stages of—um—undress,” “You’re being inappropriate,” Kat warned. Evan held his hands up. “You’re right, I’m sorry.How about you buy me lunch, then we’ll call it even,” “Well…” Kat pondered the request. “Unless you’re scared…?” He couldn’t help taunting her.

The following Monday morning, Kat braced herself for the meeting with the new Dean of Law.She knew that it was going to be the beginning of a miserable week, much like the week before.Not only had she lost the position, but she had been humiliated at the gym.Stories of the incident were still circulating around campus and social media and saw no signs of slowing.Kat hated being the subject of gossip but she knew that it was best to ignore it. Sighing loudly, she entered her corner office.She noticed right away that the secretary, Joy Gallagher, wasn’t at her desk.She was, instead, leaning over Kat’s large desk, her breasts spilling from her low-cut blouse. “What in the world is—“ Kat began.Her voice trailed off when she saw that someone occupied her custom-built leather chair.It was the man from the

“This Saturday? Of course, that sounds wonderful. She’ll be there,” May Ridley-Forrester said into the phone. “Yes, buh-bye,” Turning to her husband, she bestowed a lovely smile. “That was Penelope.She wants to meet Kat this weekend,” “Oh, is that so?” Don pulled off his reading glasses and put aside the tablet.“She’s not seriously thinking about…is she?” “Maybe, I don’t know,” May shrugged delicately. “All of our daughters are happily married save for Kat. Would it be that bad if the same happened for her? After her, it’ll just be the two of us…can you imagine the peace and tranquility?” She signed in pleasure, snuggling in her husband’s arms. “Yes, it would be amazing if she can be as happy as her sisters. But we are talking about our youngest here, May
