-Dominic-

I was at the dinner table with my mom when my phone buzzed with a notification from an unfamiliar number:

Good evening, sir. Thank you for calling Sal. I really appreciated it.

I smiled, I could tell it was Eve. Somehow, Mom noticed immediately.

“Who’s that?” she asked, eyes narrowing playfully.

“Oh, just someone reminding me I’m helpful,” I causally said.

She laughed, shaking her head. “Helpful, huh? That’s a stretch.”

I chuckled. “Barely.”

My mind went to last night. The mortified e

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   077: Reunion II

    -Evelyn-“I'm sorry.” The words hung heavy in the air. My heart slammed hard against my chest as I waited expectantly for a response.Instead, she simply nodded. Was that acceptance? My mind wondered.Then finally spoke. It was slow, measured and hesitant.“Did you… want me?” I finally got the courage to meet her gaze. Her eyes were just like mine. I slowly nodded. “More than anything—”“Then why?” There was sharpness in her tone.A lump formed in my throat, but I swallowed and steadied myself. “I was eighteen, I didn't have a real support system. Every decision I made felt wrong.”“Eve told me you didn't know everything about the adoption.” She quietly admitted.“Yes.” I said. “My in-laws made me look unstable, and had my ex-husband sign the adoption papers. I came home one day,” I paused, forcing back tears. “And you were gone.”She nodded again. It seemed to be a coping habit. I continued. “I didn't give up, you were taken away from me. And I should have fought harder for you.

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   075: Reunion I

    -Evelyn-I'd been sitting in front of the mirror for over thirty minutes while Eve tweezed, clipped, brushed, and styled. Every time she declared herself finished, she'd spot one more thing that needed fixing and start all over again. I let her fuss, mostly because it seemed to calm her nerves as much as it was supposed to calm mine. Personally, I couldn't have cared less about my hair or makeup. In less than an hour, I was going to see my first baby for the first time in thirty years, and that was the only thing on my mind.I had listened to Eve talk about Rachael. I'd seen photos of Rachael. But I still didn't know Rachael. I wanted to know Rachael. I wanted to hear what she sounded like. To know her personality, what her laugh sounded like.I wanted to know everything about her.So when I got the call that she'd finally decided to see me, my chest burst with emotions I didn't have a name for.Finally, Eve announced I was perfect. Then we left my apartment.We hailed a cab and

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   075: Five, Session Two

    -Eve-It had been ten minutes since I last called Alex, and now I had to walk in alone to this place because Eleanor called.He was supposed to pick me up, but I ended up coming here by myself.The space looked relatively normal, like a low-lit wellness clinic with private consultation suites that made it neutral.There was nothing erotic about the place like I'd imagined.Though the atmosphere was awkward, I mean, everyone knew why everyone was here.The sign at the reception desk made it even clearer, it read: Intimacy Education Center.I gave them the slip for my appointment, they explained to me that we’d be couple number five for session two.Apparently session two was the code name for: Bdsm education.Then they handed me a consent form and I was directed to a lounge where other couples sat. There were muted conversations—whispers, awkward laughter, nervous energy, and brochures on the tables. “Consent in Practice” “Communication in Intimacy” “Safe Exploration Basics”I sat

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   074: Legacy Week II

    -EVE-Downstairs, Alex was nowhere in sight, but at least Ana was. She was in the main hall, muttering something under her breath as she rolled out the red carpet.“You look pissed,” I said, trying to lighten her mood.She straightened, gritting her teeth. “Ugh! I'm so fucking tired of being directly tied to Vanessa. She's so arrogant and indecisive—”“Sh! Someone might hear you,” I whispered, looking over my shoulders. “Let them hear for all I care!” She spat. She was clearly way past caring.Before I could speak, the hum in the hall disappeared. I turned. Eleanor Kingston had walked in with Vanessa beside her.Eleanor glanced around, eyes scanning and scrutinizing the entire hall. She glanced at the table placement, she nodded. At the flowers, and everything else, and then her eyes landed on the stage’s backdrop.She paused, pointed to it. “The color is wrong. Didn't we change it? Burgundy is different from wine red!” Her voice rose.Vanessa quickly stepped forward. “I'm really

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   073: Legacy Week I

    -Eve-“You were supposed to meet my mom on Wednesday,” I told Alex after Dominic's words had unintentionally stuck to my head since Sunday.Alex looked up from his laptop, the only still that was currently worth his attention. “What?”“Dinner, you said you'd come.”“Eve.” He rubbed a hand over his face. “Legacy Week is consuming me. The venue walkthrough ran over, then Eleanor called an emergency meeting about the staff film.”I folded my arms.“If you wanted to, you would.”The words slipped out before I could stop them.His head lifted. “What?”“Nothing.”“That's not nothing. Who said that to you?”I looked away.“Eve.” His voice softened. “Listen to me. I want to meet your mother. I want every part of your life. Right now, I'm just trying to get through the next few weeks. After the gala, things calm down. I promise.”I wanted to believe him.“Okay.”“Okay.” He kissed my forehead. “Just give me until Legacy Week is over.”The next three weeks disappeared into planning.The hotel's

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   072: Visitors II

    -DOMINIC-The look on Eve’s face when she opened the door was worth the drive. “W-what are you doing here?” She stuttered, eyes wide with disbelief.I opened my mouth to answer, but then her mother appeared from behind her, smiling wide, hands already reaching for my arm.“You made it!” Evelyn—she had insisted I call her that—pulled me inside. “Come on, come on in.”I handed her the flowers, and she thanked me with a smile. We walked past Eve.

    -Dominic-I didn’t mean to disappear on Eve like that, but when Seb’s call came in, and she hadn’t returned in time. I couldn’t stop myself.Still… I could already feel her judgment, sharp as it might be. Not that it would make me change my mind. “Whatever you found should be good enough to make m

    -Dominic-“Come on, Storm, one more lap,” I muttered, gripping the reins tight. The rain drenched me, pouring down my face, but I didn’t care I needed this.I had been out on the estate since dawn, riding Storm through the rain. It was the only way to shake off the anger left over from last night,

    -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 st
