“ Whoo!" The crowd cheered as Evelyn showed off her dance moves. Her two best friends, Ava and Mia were right beside her laughing and cheering her on. Evelyn started Jones Fashion Enterprise two years ago, and it has expanded in a short amount of time. With Ava's guide, they made it the biggest Fashion Enterprise in New York. After they had both finished high school, they shared an interest in fashion and decided to combine their ideas to make it a reality. Together they had achieved the unthinkable. Mia had joined them in college, and the three had been inseparable ever since.
“ Keep the shots coming!” Mia called the bartender who grinned and slid over three shots of whiskey.
“ Best night ever!” Evelyn shouted, her face glowing with happiness.
“ You bet!" Ava replied, clinking their glasses together.
As they downed their drinks, a guy in his early twenties approached their table, his eyes locked on Evelyn. “ Hey ladies, " he said, flashing a smile. He was undeniably attractive but not as attractive as Liam. Evelyn groaned internally as she couldn't believe she was thinking of that Jerk.
“ Let loose for once you deserve it " Ava whispered, pushing her into the crowd. Ava was right, Evelyn needed to forget all of her worries, even though it's just for tonight.
Evelyn swayed her hips, grinding against the guy in front of her. She felt free as the guy held her hips, his hands roaming her body
Evelyn turned around and met Liam who looked furious as he bore holes into the guy that was with Evelyn, he raised his hands in surrender as he left.
“ Liam ” Evelyn slurred as she stumbled towards him. Why was he here?
Liam's eyes darkened as he rushed to her side “ What the hell Evelyn? Aren't you meant to be in bed. For fuck’s sake you were in an accident! We are leaving now!”
Evelyn's anger flared, “ I don't have to listen to you! You're not my parent!"
“ No, but I'm sure as hell ur husband!”
Before she could protest, Liam scooped her up in her arms as if she weighed nothing. Evelyn gasped, “ Put me down!” she demanded, her voice weak and vulnerable as enjoyed the comfort she felt in his arms.
Evelyn giggled when she heard the girls protest behind her as Archer escorted them out of the club.
“ You don't get to boss me around ” Evelyn mumbled resting her head against his chest.
Liam glanced at her, his tone softening, “ Someone has to.”
The ride home was filled with tension, Evelyn throwing tantrums at Liam who stayed silent, his jaw clenching as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.
“ I can walk by myself! " Evelyn yelled, the moment they arrived home, pushing Liam's hand away when he tried to steady her.
The maids scurried over, bowing their heads as they tried to help her but Evelyn shoved their hands away. She was furious that Liam seemed to control every part of her life.
“ Dammit, Evelyn! " Liam growled as Evelyn nearly fell, but he caught her pulling her close to his chest.
Evelyn stared up at Liam, for a moment the anger in her eyes softened replaced with pleasure and lust. Without thinking, she kissed him, her lips urgent and demanding. Liam wasted no time in kissing her back, both their lips fighting for dominance, as he tightened his grip on her.
Liam lifted her easily, carrying her onto his arms as she clung to him, heading towards his room.
This was the first time Evelyn had been in Liam's room. Ever since they got married, she had always stayed in another room, keeping the distance between them. But now the air was thick with tension.
Liam pinned her firmly against the wall, his hot breath fanning her neck as he pressed closer.
“ We are both going to regret this, Evelyn, but tell me……are you ready?” his voice low, sending shivers down her spine.
“ Tell me to stop Evelyn and I will, just say the words ” Liam murmured, his lips brushing the skin of her neck.
Evelyn's breath hitched, desire twisting in her core, her eyes filled with lust as she met his intense gaze “ Don't stop, Liam. Take me, ”
In one swift move, Liam lifted her off the floor, his body crashing into her. He kissed her intensely, his lips possessive and hungry, tracing every inch of Evelyn's body. Evelyn felt his hands unhook her bra and before she could take another breath his mouth latched onto one of her sensitive pink buds.
Evelyn gasped, her head falling back against the headboard as Liam hungrily moved from one nipple to the other, devouring her. Each touch of his lips seemed to ignite Evelyn’s sparks across her skin. She held his body closer, her nails digging into his shoulders as pleasure shot through her.
Evelyn hadn’t been with anyone since Christopher, her ex-boyfriend had dumped her. The sadness still lingered but she was ready to move past that.
“ You're beautiful,” Liam murmured as his fingers gently pushed her panties aside, sliding into her. It was the first time he had ever called her beautiful, and the sound of it sent warmth through her.
“ Liam…..” Evelyn gasped as his hand moved, stroking deeper, each movement sending shivers through her until she couldn't hold back. “ Oh God!" She cried out, her legs trembling as she came.
She watched in stunned silence as he removed clothes. It was the first time she'd seen him like this - naked. His abs rippled under his skin, every muscle of his bulging. Her breath hitched as her eyes fell to the hardness between his legs, he was much bigger than she expected.
Liam hovered over her, his eyes locked on hers as he slowly positioned himself at her entrance.
“ Fuck, you're so tight” Liam groaned as he thrust into Evelyn.
Evelyn could only moan in response overwhelmed by the sensation of his length hitting deep inside her. Her hands clutched the sheets as her body trembled, the pressure building rapidly.
“ Liam I'm so close," she begged as the need to release overtook her senses.
But Liam pulled out abruptly, leaving her empty. “ Not yet, Get on all fours.”
Evelyn’s body was trembling, her mind filled with desire as she shifted, obeying him. Her groans filled the room the moment he entered her again, but Liam didn't slow down. His pace was relentless, pushing her closer to the edge, yet holding her back from the release she wanted.
“ I'm going to cum soon, so get ready" Liam's voice was rasped. His hands held her hips tightly as pleasure overwhelmed her.
“ I'm coming," Evelyn moaned, her thighs shaking as she quivered against him. Liam groaned, thrusting into her one last time, as he came inside her.
They lay in each other's arms, their breaths uneven as they let the sleep consume them.
******************
Evelyn was jolted awake by distant murmurs drifting from the living room. Blinking against the soft morning light, she looked at her surroundings, realizing something was off, this wasn't her room. Glancing down at her bare skin, the memories of last night came crashing back like a wave.
SHE HAD SEX WITH LIAM!!!!
Panic surged through her as she paced back and forth. Oh God, what have I done? She knew she couldn't avoid him. Grabbing her discarded clothes, she hurried out of the room trying to steady her breaths. She decided to take a shower hoping it would help clear yesterday's events from her mind.
After bathing, she dressed herself in a handless red top, with high waist jeans coupled with a pair of white sneakers. Her friends had planned a beach outing and she decided to keep to the plans, knowing she needed the distraction.
The voices from the living room grew louder as she approached.
“ Mr Stark, you really need to take action. Mr scott is a threat to your company,” a man's voice urged, sounding tense.
Evelyn’s curiosity heightened. Why were they speaking about Christopher? Liam and a man she didn't recognize were sitting faced together, their faces troubled.
Without thinking, she interrupted, her voice laced with curiosity “ What does he need to do? And what did Christopher Scott do to you?”
" None of your damn business Evelyn!” Liam roared, his voice sharp and laced with anger making Evelyn flinch.
The man sitting across Liam cleared his throat awkwardly “ I'll have to get going,” he said, standing up.
Liam's expression softened as he glanced at him “ Thank you Mr Smith, I look forward to working with you ” Liam shaked the man's hand as he escorted him outside. Evelyn watched, her chest tightening as her gaze lingered on Liam.
When he returned, Evelyn's eyes roamed his attire, he wore joggers and a casual shirt which clinged to his athletic frame. Evelyn averted her eyes as her mind was filled with unspoken questions and she needed answers to them.
Evelyn tried to distract herself, turning her attention to the food Mary, the maid, brought. She had grown quite close to her since she had been the only one who has shown her kindness since she moved into this lonely mansion. Mary was a woman in her 40’s who cared for Evelyn in ways her mother didn't. Speaking of her mother, Evelyn glanced at her phone, seeing 39 missed calls from her. She ignored it, not having the time for a conversation with her.
Liam's voice broke her thoughts “ Evelyn, about yesterday,” he began, stopping in front of her. “ It was a mistake, and should never had happened, let's forget about it and move on ” he said, his voice void of any emotion.
Evelyn's hands gripped the fork tightly as Liam uttered those words. Forget about it? Her mind screamed in protest. How could he ask her to erase the one moment that felt so real, so different from her past?
“ Do you know Christopher Scott?" Liam asked as he took a seat opposite her. His breakfast of eggs, bacon and orange juice was placed in front of him. His gaze not leaving her face.
Evelyn froze, her heart racing, hoping he wouldn’t remember but it was too late.
Liam's eyes narrowed, sensing her discomfort “ Who is he Evelyn?" He gritted, his tone demanding.
“ He’s……he’s my ex-boyfriend.”
One month later “ If we follow this procedure, we’re certain to see a 2% increase by the end of the year.” Chris announced with a proud smile as the board of directors congratulated him. As the supervisor of Stark's Industries import and export, Chris felt proud of his work.Liam's voice cut through the applause. “ Do you think this is a joke?” His tone wiped the smile off their faces. “ We're supposed to hit a 5% increase before the end of the year. Are any of you serious about your jobs?” his blue eyes narrowed, burning into each person seated at the table.Liam clenched his jaw, his frustration evident. Ever since that night with Evelyn, he couldn't focus. He regretted his words to her afterward, telling her it had been a mistake. He lied, it had been the best night of his life.Her soft, smooth skin haunted him, invading his thoughts when he least expected it. It had been a month since that night and he had been avoiding her, he felt himself softening up to her in ways that scar
The bell rang signaling the end of another tiresome class. Evelyn gathered her books and hurriedly made her way through the crowd of students rushing out of their classes like they were being chased by something fearful.As she strolled the hallways, she noticed girls taking selfies with their iPhones, eager to post them on Instagram to gain likes and attention from boys, but she wasn't like them. Moving to New York from Houston had been a big change for her. Evelyn knew it wasn't a place for her. She was a young girl trying to fit in this new change, but didn't belong anywhere. The more she tried, the more she never truly felt at home.Father was always too busy for her and would rather focus on his work instead and mother was always consumed with work too, though she gave her little attention anyway. She hated herself the more and felt more pathetic. She had no friends, wasn't pretty, just a pale face covered with freckles. Sighing, she opened her locker, carefully arranging my bo
Six years laterEvelyn's heel clicked against the marble floor of Stark's enterprise, echoing through the hallways as she made her way towards her husband's office, She was here to meet Liam Stark, the man who was both her husband and her greatest enemy to prepare for the press conference. Rumors were being spread, their marriage was loveless and forged because the Stark's family needed an heir to secure their legacy.They weren't entirely wrong, their marriage was indeed formed out of necessity not love. Her thoughts drifted to her fashion enterprise. It had crumbled, driving her to the last place she wanted to be, asking her parents for help. Their solution had been simple; an arranged marriage to Liam, the boy who ruined her teenage years. Evelyn’s heart ached as the painful memories of Liam's torment flooded back. He had bullied, insulted and disregarded her, leaving behind scars that had never fully healed. Though they’d been married for a year, Evelyn felt like an eternity had
Liam turned his head, his heart pounding as he looked at Evelyn. Blood trickled down her face, staining her pale skin. He carried her fragile body from the wrecked car, panic surging through him with each step he took. Fortunately, he only has little bruises which weren't severe. The sounds of the sirens and flashing lights blurring his vision. Two nurses rushed towards him, their faces tense.“ Please sir, move aside! She's hurt, we need to get her to the hospital immediately" a nurse said as she gently took Evelyn from his arms.Liam nodded, his throat tightening as he ran his hand through his disheveled hair “ I'm coming with you". They wheeled Evelyn to the back of the ambulance. As the nurse placed the oxygen mask on her, Liam's eyes never left her fragile form. He gently pushed back the strands of hair that covered her face, his hands trembling as they grazed her skin. His gaze flickered to the full curve of her lips as he traced them. She was gorgeous even in this state, how
