[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander wasn’t sure what he could do to properly ease Evelyn’s nerves. Granted, it wasn’t for lack of trying. He’d offered on several occasions that she lay back on either the bed or a couch and let him sink down between her luscious thighs.He’d never grow tired of the way sh
[Evelyn’s POV]I should have known that Isabella was going to pull something like this. Under normal circumstances, when neither one of our families was out to get us, this whole occasion would have made complete sense. If the situation was normal and decent, an engagement party amongst family would
[Third-Person’s POV]There were many people around that dining room table who held their own amount of disdain toward the couple, or even Evelyn specifically. But the only person who truly earned Evelyn’s rage was Isabella.She glared down at the woman with a newly found hatred that had her hands it
[Evelyn’s POV]“Alright, tell me exactly what is going on between you and Alexander this instant,” Wendy demanded.A day had passed since Alexander and I had our confrontation in his office. Things had taken a major downhill effect between the two of us since then.Alexander had blatantly requested
[Evelyn’s POV]I drew closer to Isabella and watched the woman actually stiffen. I had no doubt that I looked positively menacing. Good.It felt as though a dark truth was finally coming to the surface. It practically vibrated my bones and shook every last one of my nerves.“That’s it, isn’t it? My
[Evelyn’s POV]What the hell happened? Ow! M-My head!The last thing I remembered...I was at the Silverwood Estate. I was walking out of the living room and then suddenly...There was a huge, thunderous pain in the back of my head as though someone had hit me with something hard.The pain continued t
Good God. If that was truly her plan, then I severely underestimated the woman’s intelligence. I knew that the probability of Alexander ever choosing to marry Samantha was seriously in the negatives. But the mere image of that notion sent my blood boiling.“You’re fucking delusional if you think Ale
[Third-Person’s POV]Wendy Kington found it hard to believe that she had to do this very same jaunt to Alexander’s office, yet again. The last time she had made this same journey to the other side of the house was back when Alexander was struggling to grasp the idea of Michael being back in the pict
As time went on, Evelyn was beginning to feel irritably restless and exhausted. Alexander, on the other hand, felt the arousal in his lower abdomen grow stronger.When he had her by the waist, he couldn’t keep himself from pressing his nose into the inner curve of her neck. She smelt of sweat and fl
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn knew that look Alexander had on his face all too well. She’d become an expert in knowing what his interests were. For some reason, he really seemed to enjoy watching her more lethal side come out. It wasn’t until more recently, that Evelyn even realized that she had that
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander was more than glad to know that Evelyn’s training had only managed to progress from that point on. Between hearing her own personal recounts of her sessions as well as checking in with either Erik or Thomas, he was satisfied.With one less thing pressing on his mind, A
Instead of helping him up, I actually reached down and snagged one of his ankles and, with all my strength, dragged me across the room. I heard the faint chuckles of Erik and Alexander as they watched this entire scene unfold.I’m sure it looked utterly ridiculous. Thomas was more than twice the siz
[Evelyn’s POV]I glanced at the mat on the floor but didn’t move an inch.I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Alexander, wherever it is that you’re planning, I’m not sure—”“Will you please just trust me?” he prompted.I clenched my jaw and, against my better judgment, moved over to the mat
That same, familiar pair of hands that had a high tendency to hold me close at night, came to wrap around my waist. My head tilted to the side as Alexander gathered most of my hair onto one of my shoulders.It was hard to believe that there was once a time when he and I weren’t like this. The though
[Evelyn’s POV]I really tried not to let the whole matter bother me. I was fairly sure that I wasn’t the only person to exist that wasn’t trainable. Still, I felt horrible knowing that I had wasted Erik and Thomas’ time.Every muscle and joint in my body was aching and for what? I couldn’t even say
“Believe me, although you got a little wobbly at the end there, it’s good to see that you still have that fire in you?”I turned back to glance at him with a questionable look. “Fire?”The two shared a knowing look with each other. “We, uh, heard about what happened with your Stepsister.”“Word alwa
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn had lost count of the number of times her curled fist connected with the hanging punching bag. The first few times were fine, having been shown the proper form. However, after the tenth time, she was really beginning to feel the burn in various parts of her body. Her join
