Chapter 36

"Walter, I'm all cleaned up. What's next? If there's nothing, I'm off to bed."

Evangeline was about to head to the guest room, being considerate.

However, Walter called out, "Wait."

"What's up?" she looked back at him.

"Come here, sit with me."

Evangeline hesitated. With a resigned nod, she complied.

Walter's eyes gleamed with mischief as he watched her approach.

She walked over and brazenly sat on his lap. She pushed him back onto the bed and untied the robe's sash.

"I didn't see this coming," Walter murmured, his desire flaring.

"Oh? There's a lot you don't see coming," Evangeline quipped as she climbed onto him, the robe falling away to reveal swathes of pale skin. "Tell me, how did Julia take care of you last night?"

Beneath her, a bath towel was the only thing left covering him. It was clear he was more than ready for her teasing.

As their skin brushed against each other, the air crackled with electricity. The room was charged with a sultry heat and unspoken promises.
