Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession 038: The Pull Between Us
-Eve-We reached a bathroom door half-way up the stairs and came to a stop. I turned, confused.Dominic stared back me, his expression unreadable. “You’ve stained yourself.”“Huh?” I blinked, my confusion deepening, until the words suddenly registered.“Shit.” I cursed, bolting straight for the bathroom.Panic coursed through me as I rushed to the mirror, and turned. I saw the bright blob of red on the cream dress and I was mortified.My hands found the edge of the sink, and my knees almost buckled.My goodness, he’d seen it, those bratty girls had seen it, and everyone had seen it! My mind screamed at me.Fuck.I let out a small sigh, wishing the floor would open and swallow me whole.Thankfully, Sal had put a tampon in my purse. I quickly took it, cleaned up, and put it on. The stain was minimal, and his suit jacket covered the rest.I washed my hands and stepped outside, hoping Dominic had gone. But no—he stood there, hands in his pockets, unfazed, as if he hadn’t just witnessed th
Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession 037: Piss-Yourself Energy
-Eve-“Okay, I said I’d try. It doesn’t automatically translate to I’m going, Sal—”“Hell no, Eve. I am not having any more of that sulky, piss-yourself energy from you,” Sal cut in, her tone low but fierce.It was Friday evening, and somehow, she’d gotten wind of the launch event happening tonight. I watched as she paced back and forth in front of my wardrobe, throwing open drawers and tossing clothes around like a whirlwind.“Tonight is a big moment,” she said firmly, slamming a cream sequined dress onto my bed with authority. “And you’re not going to sulk in the corner like a sad little cat.”I had to do something to avoid going, anything to avoid Alex.I didn’t answer his question yesterday. Couldn’t.I sighed, crossing my arms. “So what? My idea birthed a commercial. Millions of marketers do this every day.”She stopped mid-step, tilting her head as she gave me a sharp, cutting glance. “Oh, please. Millions of marketers do it every day? Yeah, and millions of them don’t have an
Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession 036: Fair Game
-Alex-When I went to Eve’s place an hour ago, Sally told me she’d be at the hospital.When she stormed out of her mother’s room and we collided, I saw her tears and got worried.“Eve?” I called, “What’s wrong?”She stared at me briefly, as if trying to find the right words.“I’m fine,” she murmured, already stepping around me.Lies. I spun, catching her wrist just in time to make her stop. Her body trembled under my touch.“You’re shaking.”She yanked her hand free, eyes flashing, “Don’t.”Now I feared the worse had happen.My voice dropped to a careful whisper as I leaned in, “Did something happen to your mom?”She bit her lips through her gleaming eyes and let out a dry, humorless laugh, “would I be cruel if I wished it had?”I studied her for a moment, watching her hold herself together like she always did. But she was hurting, too deeply.“You don’t have to do this alone.” I told her, and that did it.She stepped back, putting space between us. “Yes. I do.” She said gritting he
Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession 035: The Older Secret
-Eve-There was no longer any valid excuse for avoidance.An entire week had passed, and I still hadn’t visited my mother in the hospital.Ever since I learned there was a possibility I had an older sibling, something inside me had broken. I felt betrayed and deprived. Still, today I decided I would face it head-on. I would say what I felt. I would demand answers.Just breathe. In and out. You can do this.I sucked in a deep breath and stepped into her room.She brightened the moment she saw me, too quickly, too eagerly, but guilt clawed at my throat, making it hard to return her smile. I set the groceries down quietly.The room was spotless, the faint antiseptic scent unchanged, everything perfectly in place. Sal had taken care of it all, as always.I forced myself to walk to her side, pushing past my selfish annoyance. “How are you feeling today?” I asked. But it felt shallow. Performative. Even to me.She nodded slowly, her eyes searching my face like there was something only she
Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession 034: An Eye for an Eye
-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 me hurry out here, I was in the middle of something important.” I called out as Seb made his way across the underground parking lot.His movement was measured, eyes flicking over his shoulder like he expected someone or something to jump out at any second.He didn’t answer right away, instead he entered the car and shut the door.“It’s even better,” he replied, his voice tight. “And it’s nice to see you too, Dominic…It’s been a while.”I scoffed. I could sense the sarcasm in his voice.“Likewise.” I raised an eyebrow. “Why are we in the parking lot of HQ again?”“Because, there’s too many prying eyes in the building. Seb had always been like this, too careful, cautious and paranoid for his o
Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession 033: Dog Dad
-Eve-I’d heard of dark family secrets, twisted affairs, things best left unspoken. But a hidden sibling? That was something I never imagined. A sister.Suddenly, my world felt a little bigger. And I felt curious. Clueless.I shook my thoughts away and focused on the bookstore. My mother’s old books were stacked neatly at the counter, and I handed them over.“Miss,” the clerk said, snapping me back, “We can only exchange these for store credit at this time.”I nodded, taking the small slip of credit in my hand. Good enough. I wandered through the aisles, letting the quiet hum of the store pull me away from the storm in my mind.Romance. Billionaire drama. Steamy fantasies I’d never admit to anyone. That would do.I pulled a paperback off the shelf, “Penthouse Rules” by Lola Noir. I thumbed and flipped through it, letting the over-the-top, steamy paragraphs fill my head. It was just enough to put Dom’s audio aside for a wihile.Just as I turned, I collided with someone. I bent to g
