Eve-

“Sal, again I don’t think I should do this,” I said, pulling the seat belt across my chest.

“Relax,” her grip tightened on the steering wheel. “Tonight we club, and forget about, Mr. I kissed you or I want to kiss you but it’s complicated.”

“It’s Wednesday, Sal,” I reminded her.

“And tomorrow will be Thursday.” She retorted.

“I’m supposed to be resting in the hospital—”

“The doctor said you’re fine.”

“Well I don’t feel fine—“

“You will, after a couple of drinks.”

I scoffed. “You always have to have a comeback from everything, don’t you?”

“Try me.”

At the entrance of the club, I adjusted the skimpy dress, the one she forced me into, tugging it down as a cold breeze brushed my thighs.

“I really don’t want to be in a club. You know how I feel about drunk people…and basically everything happening in there.” I reminded her.

Sal rolled her eyes, looping her arm through mine. “And that’s exactly why we’re here. To get you out of your head. Now stop overthinking and walk.”

I sighed, but

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   025: Emergency Contact

    -Eve-I let out a shaky breath, fighting back tears as I returned to the building. By now, the traffic had reduced and the only ones left here were probably working overtime.Once I got into the elevator, the entire moment replayed in my head.The way his voice had dropped. The way his hands had steadied me, diving to the deepest crevices of my body.And then, the way he had had gone cold, pulling my hands like I’d crossed some line I didn’t understand, and I hated how much his bothered me.My face flushed with embarrassment when I remembered how he sounded. Put yourself together.“Maybe it’s because I expected too much?”My thoughts barely settled before the elevator chimed open to our departmental floor.I let out a small sigh as got out, dragging myself over to my desk to gather my things. The entire floor was empty, and the lights were turned off in some parts.My mind wandered off to Dominic again. Maybe it didn’t mean anything to him.As I gathered my things, my phone quietly li

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   024: An Escape II

    -Eve-Once again, Dominic smiled at me, and I didn't know what it meant.I alighted the car, my eyes scanning through the surrounding like they held answers.It looked like we were in the middle of nowhere, on the outskirts of the city. An inclined gravel path that cut through the trees and led to the small picturesque building cradled by the woods, as if the trees were meant to protect it.I had more questions, but I didn't ask. I just followed, watching as he pulled out a key and unlocked the large steel door.He turned to me, gesturing inside, “After you.”When I entered the building, a light mix of alcohol and warm spice hit my nose. The place looked simple, clean floors, shelves of labeled bottles, and one long table with tools laid out.Before I could look around properly, his voice cut in. “This annex is where Kluxe started.”He walked ahead and switched on the lights, revealing a small workstation filled with ingredients“It’s separate from the main production wing,” he added.

    -Dominic-This was probably the most impulsive thing I’d done in a long while. Pulling Eve out of the office like this…What the hell was I thinking?Maybe it happened when she asked if I was okay, it just hit differently this time.For once, I didn’t want to pretend.From the corner of my eye, I caught her frozen in place, like a cornered, frightened mouse.A smirk tugged at my lips as I pressed the button to retract the soft-top of the convertible.Then I reached for her rich black hair. Always tied in a bun, always so serious. She flinched. I loosened it, letting the wind claim it. The only other time she had ever let it fall was that night at the club. She was… beautiful.Her eyes went wide.“It’s better when you let your hair down,” I murmured. Then stepped on the gas.Wind whipped through her hair, strands tangling across her face. Her fingers fought against it, thrashing chaotically. I found it… amusing.For today, I just wanted this. Just this moment, an escape.FLASHBACKEarl

    -Eve-Sal sat on the couch, tweezing and plucking out hair from places I didn’t know even had them.“My goodness, this is the living room, Sal. You might as well shave your ass while you’re at it.” I said with annoyance.She flared her nose, plucking more nose hairs, “Don’t worry I already did that, and I’m as smooth as the skin of a sphinx cat.” She winked.I gagged at the mental image forming in my head. “Geez, I don’t want the fucking details, Sal. “I can’t believe you ditched me at the club and the hospital—”“I can’t believe nothing happened with Dominic.” She retorted, “Do you still think he’s Dom Daddy?”My heart skipped, and I bit the inside of my cheeks.She doesn't know yet. “Of course not, why would you bring that up? And he’s my boss. It’ll be wrong to be involved with him in the way.”Liar. Liar. “Well unlike you, I intend to have lovely Sunday.” She grinned.First you disappear since Wednesday, and now you’re off again on a date? What happened to the men are scum versi

    -Grace-My lips curled into a smile as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. This wasn’t just beauty, it was perfection.I had put in a lot of money, time, and effort to look this good for my date with Dominic Kingston tonight.From my 24-karat gold facial to the oxygen therapy, the lymphatic sculpting, the glass-skin hydration drip, and the custom ceramic blowout that took three hours. Anyone with functioning eyes should be able to acknowledge that.Ever since we formally met on the golf course three days ago, I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. He was exactly the kind of man of I dreamt of. Although he was cold, but I was determined to make him warm up to me.“I gathered the information she you asked for, Miss Langley,” My assistant, Freya began as she stalked into my bedroom. She could be a bother some times, but this was crucial before the date with Dominic later.“Let’s hear it,” I said, my voice lazy, eyes glued to the mirror, because I was the only thing that matt
