Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Thirty-Five - His Motive
Nicholas locked the apartment up and went down the elevator towards his car. He was sure that Alyssa would be ready to move into her new home today after meeting her new neighbor. Therefore he had the apartment that belonged to her dad, cleaned up for her. It used to be occupied by corporate guests of the company when his dad was alive but Nicholas preferred to have them stay at a hotel instead. It was more convenient and less stressful that way. He couldn’t erase the smile on his face as he drove over to his office. The prospect of meeting Alyssa and having her move into an apartment where he could see her anytime was too exciting to ignore. He had controlled his urges yesterday since it was her first day at work and he had no wish to frighten her away but it won’t be for long. He would eventually tell her how much he desired her and figure out a way to fulfill his needs. If she agreed to give him what he wanted in return for more perks, his condition would surely improve and he wou

“What are you waiting for? Our client, Michael Clayton, CEO of Finserve Inc. will be here any minute. Get ready,” said Nicholas but Alyssa was surprised to note a glint in his eyes as if he knew what she was anticipating. “I’m ready as always. You’re the one going green seeing every Phil and Darren talk to me.” Alyssa tossed her hair and walked over to check the equipment, leaving Nicholas chuckling at her sass. “I see. What else do you expect me to be? Give me what I need and I’ll not get green at all,” he drawled, watching her with hooded eyes as he settled into his chair. He wanted to say more but didn’t want her to react right in front of Michael.“I won’t ask what you need since I guess that’s what you’re expecting me to,” she said with an impish smile on her face. Nicholas smirked at her, loving her line of thought.“I don’t think you need to ask me. You know what I want. I’ve told you before if you can refresh your memory. I’ve always wanted you and still do,” he said in a lo

Alyssa was dumbfounded by his question. Was he seriously wanting to leave his posh penthouse and move into this apartment with her? No, he was just teasing her!“I don’t think the loneliness will kill me. If it does, I’ll definitely call you,” she said in a sugary sweet tone that could make one fall for her, hook, line, and sinker but Nicholas had already fallen, so it didn’t make a difference to him. He laughed, his body alive with excitement. “Call me before you die. I could give you a kiss to bring you to life.” Alyssa groaned and walked away towards the closet to check but her mind was on the topic of discussion. Did he really want to kiss her again? Was that his motive? Was he going out of his way just for a kiss? “You didn’t answer me, Alyssa.” He followed her to the closet. “No, thanks. I’d rather die,” she laughed although deep in her heart, she knew that she was dying to have his lips on hers. “Liar! I know you’re dying to kiss me.” He stood, leaning against the door, wat

The next morning, Alyssa felt very apprehensive about facing Nicholas at work. After the way they parted last night, she wondered what type of mood he would be in. Would he still bear a grudge upon her?She reached the office but strangely Nicholas still didn’t arrive. She checked her email for work and found two emails from him, both work-related. Was he not coming to the office? Why else would he send her so much work that might take her all day to finish? For the next few hours, she absorbed herself in the work Nicholas gave her. It was lunchtime and yet Nicholas hadn’t arrived at the office. “It’s lunch, Alyssa. Come over to the cafeteria with me,” said Phil as he walked into her cubicle. Alyssa looked up at him and smiled, closing her laptop. “Oh, hi! I’ll be there in a while,” she said, getting up.“Stop working so much. Nicholas wouldn’t be coming in for two weeks after all. Aren’t you, his girlfriend? Why didn’t he take you with him?” asked Phil suspiciously. “He offered bu

Alyssa rolled her eyes at the absurdity of his proposal. Was it seriously a marriage proposal? “No, thanks. I’ll take back my concern.” Nicholas laughed but although he didn’t admit it to her, he actually liked the idea. Marrying her would more or less solve his own problem. He would be entitled to unlimited se*, his mom and granny would be happy too and so would Alyssa since she would be free of her step-dad and brother’s interference in her life. “Why not? It’s the best solution for you, me, and my family. I’ll get what I want from you. You’ll be free from your stepdad and brother while mom and granny will be happy to have you in our family.” Alyssa gaped at him, baffled by his suggestion. Was he really pursuing the matter? She had thought he was joking! “Seriously? This is the weirdest marriage proposal I’ve ever seen,” she scoffed and Nicholas shrugged. “If it solves our issues, why not? So will you marry me, Alyssa?” he asked giving her a brief glance and driving on. “No, Nic

“I don’t fall for crooks, so you can keep your crooked plans to yourself.” Nicholas laughed as her warning didn’t deter him even a tiny bit.“I can’t leave my crooked ways. Let’s see if they work or not.” He drove out of his granny’s driveway but Alyssa was now more concerned about the trip he had announced for tomorrow. “What time are we leaving tomorrow? Shouldn’t you have told me earlier? I haven’t packed anything yet,” she complained giving him a pointed glare. “I can help you pack. We’ll leave at 10 o’clock in the morning. Be ready, I’ll pick you up.” Alyssa gave him an exasperated look wondering how in the world she would pack everything tonight.“No thanks, I’ll manage somehow. So for how many days are we going? Will it be just a business trip?” she asked, glancing in his direction to notice the smirk that momentarily appeared on his face. “It’ll be a two-week long trip. Yes, mostly carry your business suits along with some semi-formals. We will be free during the afternoons

“You won’t have any problems with me after you get to know me. That’s what this trip is all about, isn’t it? I told you I won’t play fair,” he shrugged, sitting on the chair and making himself comfortable. Alyssa was stunned by his admission. So he had indeed taken her challenge seriously and started working on it as well. “I thought this was a business trip,” she said, dazed and confused. What would she do now? What exactly had Nicholas planned for her? Would she have to share a room all throughout the trip? “Stop fretting so much. Let’s relax and enjoy a movie. So which is your favorite?” he asked her to lighten the atmosphere in the room. Alyssa studied him for a second and noted that he was indeed interested in a movie. Sitting on the chair beside him, she browsed through the options available. “Select it but we’ll watch after take-off,” said Nicholas sensing the way she was all worked up around him. He wanted to make her comfortable around him first or it would be difficult to

Alyssa woke up suddenly feeling someone pick her up. Her eyes met Nicholas’s piercing gaze as he carried her in his arms and deposited her on the bed. “Why to sleep on a chair when you have such a comfortable bed?” he asked in a husky tone. Alyssa was immediately on high alert and scooted as far away from him as possible.“I’m not sleepy at all.” Nicholas sighed and leaving her all alone, he went to his chair and took out his laptop to work. He felt a little upset at Alyssa’s attitude. He was just trying to make her comfortable since she was sleeping cramped up on a chair but she misunderstood his motive as always. Why couldn’t she see that he was indeed true to his words? He just indulged in harmless flirting with her. None of the kisses that he gave her were forced since she enjoyed them as much as he did. It was true that he had been totally honest about his feelings for her but he hadn’t given her any reason to tread so cautiously around him. Sighing he continued with his work wh

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
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Seventy - Blissfully Together
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
