Chapter 5 - Surprise!

-Eve-

“Hello, Eve,” Vincent freaking Beckett said with a smirk on his face.

“Fancy seeing you again,” he added.

I froze from where I stood as I looked at Vincent as he walked naked toward the girl on the bed. 

“You,” he said in a harsh tone, “Leave.”

I was surprised at the way he spoke but didn’t dare make any sound. 

I can see the look on the woman’s face as she looked at me and I can tell that I interrupted something that shouldn’t be disturbed. 

I heard her stump away but didn’t look in her direction because I knew that I would see her naked.

“Do you have it?” I heard Vincent say, making me confused at first but then realized who the hell he was.

“Yes,” I replied as I placed the envelope on the couch near me. 

“I’m not going to eat you, Eve,” he said. “Bring the file to me,” he added.

I picked up the envelope and the sigh that escaped my lips made him laugh. 

I walked towards him thinking over and over again how I ended up getting in this situation. And then I remember debt and jail and that was enough for me to endure this awkward situation. 

When I saw his bare feet I stopped moving and raised my hand to give him the envelope.

“Seriously, Eve,” he said sounding more amused than irritated. “Can’t even look at my face?” 

I raised my head only to see that he hadn’t put anything on.

“Fuck!” I said under my breath making him laugh once again. 

“Don’t tell me you haven’t seen a naked man in your life?” He asked teasingly as he took the envelope from my hand. 

“Now you have it, I will now leave,” I said about to turn around and leave when I felt strong hands wrapped around my wrists. 

“Not so fast,” he said, pulling me to face him. It would have been fine if I just turned but out of all the times that I had to lose my balance, the universe decided that now was the best time and I ended up falling toward Vincent's naked body. 

A loud laugh rippled from his body sending an electric current to my already tense body. 

“If you wanted me that bad, Eve. You know that all you have to do is ask.”

I immediately found my bearings and stood, making sure that I was a few steps away from him. Making him laugh once again. 

Most of the time I really hated him, but hearing the sound of his laughter shows a different side of him. 

I slowly turned to catch a glimpse of him and was able to calm my breathing to see his back turned at me as he walked towards what seemed to be a wooden desk by the window. 

“Well,” I said as I clear my now dry throat. Vincent may be an ass but I can’t deny that he has a really sexy ass. I saw Stephen’s upper body before when he was still part of the school’s varsity. He would always remove his jersey after playing and I would see his toned upper body. I thought that was already sexy, well until I saw Vincent’s naked body on full display. 

He was like a Greek god, sculpted to perfection. And Stephen’s toned body was nothing compared to Vincent’s because Vincent’s body was perfect. 

“Yes?” Vincent said. Interrupting my unholy thoughts.

What the hell am I even thinking?

“I’m leaving now,” I said, once again, attempting to get out of there as fast as I could. 

“I have a meeting tomorrow and won’t be in at the office until before the important meeting with a potential sponsor at my office begins.” 

I turned to face him all confused. 

“You need to wait for me to finish getting over this file so you can give this to Natalie and prepare it for the said meeting.”

“Oh,” I replied. 

“While waiting for this file please clean the room?” He said. When I didn’t reply he looked at me and I raised my brow at him. It was a good thing that he was behind that humongous desk that hid most of his body. Because I don’t think I can look him straight in the eyes if I see him naked. 

“I work for the company,” I replied. “And cleaning your house was not part of my contract.”

“I have mysophobia,” he said clearing his throat. “I won’t be able to concentrate on this document if I don’t see that the sheets on that bed have been changed and the room has been cleaned spotless.”

My brow went higher as I didn’t understand nor did I believe a word he said. Because how could he claim such sickness when I found him naked with the woman earlier? 

He sighed heavily as he looked at me straight in the eye. 

“If you are willing to stay here with me until my housekeeper arrives will be fine with me. Remember that you need to send this file to Natalie tomorrow morning.” 

I cursed. 

One of the things I hated was losing. Especially with him. But if I want to leave this freaking house as soon as possible. Then, I’ll just let him win this one time.
