Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Forty-Four - Sleeping With Him
Nicholas unlocked their room and stepped aside to let Alyssa enter. “After you,” he said, flashing her a charming, panty-dropping smile that instantly had her on her guard. Ignoring his charm, she walked inside but sadly couldn’t control the strange flutter that started deep in her stomach. It seemed as if a thousand butterflies were dancing around inside her. She headed straight for the closet to take out her pajamas when she heard the door click shut. The situation was completely different in the aircraft than now. In the congested space of the aircraft, they had somehow just whiled the time away whereas now, in the cozy bedroom, the se*ual undercurrents between them couldn’t be missed. “I need a shower!” announced Nicholas, as he unbuttoned his shirt. Alyssa dashed into the washroom to change quickly without casting a single glance at him. She couldn’t afford to look at his smoldering hot body as all her resolutions to stay away from him would crumble to dust. “I’ll just take a

Alyssa opened her eyes feeling Nicholas’s warm mouth on hers. Was she dreaming or was it Nicholas really kissing her? Unconsciously, her arms went round his neck and she pulled him closer, opening her mouth to him, to take as much as she could. After dreaming of him the whole night, it was only normal that she needed this to keep thoughts of him out of her head throughout the day. His lips were on fire as he plunged his warm tongue into her mouth, tasting her, devouring her, branding her with his touch. Despite being intensely passionate, there was a sensual quality as if he too had been longing to kiss her for a long time. Their mouths battled with each other for dominance, not getting enough of one another. After weeks of lusting after her, Nicholas didn’t want the kiss to end. Her soft moans and the way her fingers played with his hair, were enough to drive him crazy. The kiss wasn’t enough, he needed more. His hands wandered to her stomach, touching the smooth skin under her top

“Why are you frowning at my mobile phone?” asked Nicholas as he emerged from the bedroom, looking hot and dashing as always in a crisp black business suit. “Why didn’t you tell me that Alexander has been threatening you?” she demanded. Nicholas gave her a look of disbelief as if she was asking the dumbest question ever. “When did he do otherwise? I won’t take his shit seriously and stop working, nor will I hide in my house out of fear. It’s best to ignore him and get on with my life. I’ll deal with whatever he throws my way. I’m not doing anything wrong then why should I have to accept his threats?” demanded Nicholas, annoyed by the topic. Alyssa nodded, knowing he was right. She followed him to the door and soon they were marching towards the conference room. Nicholas didn’t attempt to talk or tease her and Alyssa somehow had the feeling that he was upset about something. Maybe she could ask him after the meeting. They reached the conference room fifteen minutes early and their cl

Alyssa gasped at his candid declaration. How did her words always backfire? She hadn’t foreseen this turn of events at all. Her breath hitched when his hands bunched at her hips and pulled her body flush against his. “Nicholas..” she started but he placed a finger to her lips to quieten her, his face dipping dangerously close “Shh! You can’t stop me from enjoying my candy now,” he said in a hoarse whisper. Alyssa could feel the spark between them, ready to burn them both. It was too intense to be ignored and before she could say another word, his thumb parted her lips expertly and he crashed his lips to hers. This time there wasn’t any tenderness in the kiss. It was a brutal and punishing one intended to do what he just admitted. Enjoy his candy which was her mouth! He ravished her, devoured her, his tongue tasting every recess hungrily yet it wasn’t enough. He needed more. Grinding his hard arousal into her, he tangled his fingers into her hair to dominate the kiss further. His int

Nicholas pulled on a pair of gray chinos and paired them with a black dress shirt. He was acutely aware of Alyssa’s hungry gaze fixed upon him all the time. He had wanted her to see him, to desire him, to long for him, just the way he longed for her. He deliberately did not strip completely as he had initially intended to. He wanted to build up the heat knowing that she was as eager as him. He noted the look of disappointment on her face as she looked away and concentrated on her phone. Did his plan work? Did she feel the desperation? Would he get what he wanted from her? Would he finally be able to make love to her tonight, the way he wanted to? Ready, he emerged from the bedroom, his eyes connecting to hers when she looked up. “Let’s go. Sorry to keep you waiting,” he teased and she rolled her eyes knowing exactly what he meant. “No problem. I enjoyed the wait,” she smiled, playing along. A shot of excitement coursed up his body hearing her candid admission.“I’m glad that I could

Alyssa ran towards the elevator not wanting to create a scene at the pool. No, she could heal her broken heart all alone. She didn’t need to disturb Nicholas with her unwanted feelings. Quickly getting into the elevator, she made her escape in the blink of an eye. She had no wish to go to their bedroom and spend another night with him. Wandering off to the ground floor, she walked out of the hotel towards the Marina Bay Promenade a few minutes away. It was a clear evening and the sun had just set, a perfect time to enjoy the sights around the place. Nicholas wore his clothes and rushed after her down the elevator to his room. After having a few pegs of whiskey, he had completely forgotten that he had asked her to accompany him tonight. He unlocked the door of their suite room but surprisingly she wasn’t there anywhere. “Are you sure that she has come here?” asked Seth, his school buddy who lived here in Singapore with his wife Everly, who was also a close friend to Nicholas. They ha

“I’ve cleared the room and food bills, and now you’re moving back with me.” With that, he walked out of the room with all her stuff. Alyssa stood there in disbelief. Instead of wooing her with a million excuses and explanations, how could he just dictate to her around? She shook her head, chiding herself for falling in love with such a weirdo. The housekeeping staff came inside to clean up and she rushed out after Nicholas. She would maintain her distance till he explained his last night's behavior to her. She stormed into Nicholas’s room, but the wonderful aroma of food hit her nose and she realized how hungry she was. “We aren’t here on a vacation. Just eat up and let’s get ready for the press conference,” he said gruffly, pouring himself some coffee. Alyssa rolled her eyes, noting his foul mood. Shouldn’t she be the one to be upset? Sulking, she sat down and munched a sandwich disinterestedly, without bothering to even look at him.“Did your cat die last night? What’s the matter

“Now the entire world will know that we’re in a relationship. Alexander and dad will know that I’m in Singapore with you and they’ll now be after your blood. I’ll be grounded like a teenager for no fault of mine! What have you done, Nicholas?” demanded Alyssa as she slumped onto the couch opposite him. Already at her wit's end, Alyssa covered her face with her hands, not wanting to face the reality. “I’ve already told Alexander that we are in a relationship, remember? So this shouldn’t shock him at all!” Nicholas defended himself. “That was different. He took it as a joke!” she pointed out. “I didn’t mean it as a joke.” “It wasn’t real anyway, Nicholas. That’s the reason Alexander didn’t react much, but this time, the entire world will know about it,” she explained as a feeling of dread clutched at her heart. “I’m sure Anthony won’t tell a soul. He’ll try to find out the truth.” Alyssa sighed, knowing that Nicholas was equally worried that Anthony would publish it in the celebrit

The rest of the group went towards the aisle to give them some privacy and sort matters out, while Alyssa’s mom and Sienna stayed back. “Bring her inside. She has a right to be here with me on my special day,” said Alyssa, surprised to find her best friend waiting outside. “I think it’s better you meet her once, Lisa,” insisted Alexander, hesitating a little, his eyes darting towards the main gates. Her dad scowled and fisted his hands with anger, glaring at the two of them. “Tell her to come inside the house and not create an unnecessary scene here today,” he said, his face flushed with hatred. This was always the scene at the mention of Eva’s name.“Please calm down, Daniel. I’m sure she’ll go away.” Alexander paled and turned to go away as well. If there was no place here for his wife, then he had no business staying at such a place. “I can see that my wife and I aren’t wanted here. Have a happy life, Lisa,” he said over his shoulders. “Wait, Alex. I want you to walk me down t
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Seventy-Four - On The Wedding Day
Alyssa swirled in front of the mirror, the sequins on her beautiful, sky blue, sleeveless dress catching the lights around the room. Nicholas bought it for her to wear to dinner at his granny’s house. “Beautiful! It looks as if it’s made for you,” said Nicholas, standing behind her and appreciating her through the glass. “Who else will be there tonight?” “No one. Only you and I with mom and granny. I specifically asked them not to go overboard.” “Yes, I need a quiet moment with them.” After a few minutes, they drove over to his house and, as always, aunt Claudia welcomed her in with open arms. “It’s been so long since you’ve been here, my dear,” she said, hugging her close. Alyssa too hugged her back, feeling guilty for not visiting them often as she had promised. Granny too came forward to give her a hug. “Sorry, aunt Claudia. I was so busy job hunting that it escaped my mind,” said Alyssa apologetically. “So, have you found your dream job yet?” asked his granny. “No, she’s t

“Tomorrow is the last day you'll be single. After that we’ll be bound to one another forever,” said Nicholas as he drove them home. “Who wants to be single?” she winked at him, making his heart skip a beat. “Is that so?” “Yes. As if you didn’t know.” “I do but do you know we have only a day to pack up for our honeymoon?” said Nicholas and Alyssa turned to him with surprise. “Are we going on a honeymoon?” she asked with disbelief, and he nodded with a silly grin on his face. “And you’re telling me now? So where are we going?”“The Bahamas for four days.”“Oh, my gosh! There’s so much to pack,” she gushed excitedly. The whole evening, they spent packing up for their upcoming trip. It was exciting, and Nicholas showed her where they were staying and planned a four-day itinerary together. There had been no contact with Alexander after that phone call, and they didn’t mention him either. They made dinner together and afterward sat on the enormous deck to sip wine and gaze at the sta
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Seventy-Two - Hurt By Alexander
The next day was extremely hectic. They took her dad to the doctor for a second opinion and found out that the treatment going on was indeed the very best available so far. They returned home quite satisfied that he would get better after completing the treatment. After the visit, her dad gained more confidence and also actively took part in her wedding preparations. “I can also train you, Lisa, after Nicholas does." Alyssa hugged him at seeing his enthusiasm. “Yes, dad. I would love that,” she said eagerly. They were about to leave when her dad’s phone buzzed with an incoming call from Alexander. He looked alarmed and glanced at Alyssa. “Alex is calling me.” Alyssa and Nicholas stopped in their tracks and stood, waiting to hear what Alexander had to say. Her dad glanced at his wife and accepted the call with a sigh, putting it on speaker mode. “Yes, son. Have you returned?” asked her dad warily into the phone. “No, but how could you accept Nicholas into our family, dad?” demand
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Seventy-One - Reconciling With Alexander
“I’ll pick you up at 4 o’clock,” said Nicholas, driving away after dropping her off at the hospital. They would first go to her parent's house and then off on a date. Alyssa was excited, as Nicholas still hadn’t told her what he had planned for them. Nicholas reached his office and wrapped up his work as fast as he could, looking forward to spending the evening with her. He tried calling Alexander to talk to him, but he still wasn’t available. Reluctantly, he left a message for him. He knew how upset Alexander would be if they married without informing him. Alexander,I tried to reach out to you many times, but I guess you are busy. I have an important announcement to make. Alyssa and I are getting married this Saturday at your parents' house. They have happily given their permission and I would be at peace if you too accepted our relationship. Your acceptance means the world to Alyssa, and she means the world to me. That’s the reason I’m trying to reach out to you.I have always l

Alyssa and Nicholas exchanged rings amidst cheers and congratulatory wishes. Aunt Claudia and granny blessed them abundantly as it was their dream to welcome her into the family. “Why are you rushing the wedding? I have a PTM at Alex's school tomorrow and a conference coming up on Friday,” protested Sienna. “Come over in your work clothes but I can’t postpone, Sien,” said Nicholas, making her roll her eyes at him. “No, it’s better we attend it at one go and then return home,” said Skylar, and even Hayley agreed. “Will Eva be able to attend my wedding?” asked Alyssa hopefully, but they were skeptical and couldn’t give any proper reply to that question.“No one knows where she is. I haven’t been able to contact them since yesterday,” said her mom while the others giggled, imagining what they would be up to. “I’m dying of curiosity. Where could Alexander have taken her?” asked Hayley, and they all discussed all possibilities, but Alyssa knew that none of those probabilities were tru
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-Nine - Engaged To Him
Within minutes, they stripped off their clothes, the urgency to continue where they left off driving them insane. Ever since they reconnected on the island and separated for a day, they had missed one another immensely. While Nicholas’s mouth drove her wild with pleasure, Alyssa stroked his powerfully ripped body, her touch so sensual that he groaned with a burning need. “Alyssa, stop. You’re driving me wild,” said Nicholas, his voice hoarse with desire. “I want you to make wild love to me, Nicholas,” she whispered, her voice hoarse with desire. After their confession, their need for one another had multiplied to a new level altogether. Alyssa’s entire body flashed hot, needing the release only he could give her. “You do? I can’t wait to embed my co*k deep inside you,” he whispered, grazing his teeth against her earlobe. His dirty words made her exhale a sensual groan as she parted her legs to welcome him. The love-making was out of the world this time, almost as if they surrendere
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-Eight - Nicholas's Love
Nicholas drove towards his apartment, his heart thumping with excitement. At last, he was happy to have Alyssa all to himself. She was now his for life! Her confession stirred him deeply, and he wanted to confess his own feelings for her. With the engagement and wedding all planned out, he couldn’t ask for more. “Are you excited to get engaged to me?” asked Nicholas hopefully, but Alyssa shook her head. “No, I would have loved it if you had proposed on one knee. This looks a little forced and artificial. It feels as if you're marrying me because my parents want you to.” Nicholas sighed, knowing that he had messed up. He had planned to propose the way she wanted him to, but she escaped Oyster Island before that. He had to clear this misunderstanding before it worsened. He steered the car off the road and parked at the side. Alyssa looked at him curiously, not knowing what was happening. Nicholas turned to her, gazing deeply into her eyes. “That’s not true, Alyssa. I’m marrying you b

“Nicholas will train you at his office after marriage and then you will take over from me. I can’t pull any longer,” said her dad sternly. Alyssa gaped at all three of them. So they had planned and plotted against her back and decided her life for her without even consulting her. Blood boiled in her veins and she took a step backward, feeling like a piece of trash that could be easily trampled upon by all. “How is it I do not know about this? All three of you have already decided my life while I’m left in the dark. I really can’t believe this.” She whirled around and ran up to her bedroom, upset with all of them. Her parents had always been this way, but Nicholas could have told her about his plans before talking to her parents. She felt betrayed and dashed into her room, upset and close to tears. “You’re overreacting, Alyssa. I didn’t have a choice,” said Nicholas as he followed her inside. “Yeah, I understand, Nicholas. Go away and plot with my parents behind my back. What are yo
