FAZER LOGINEveline She could sense the unwanted presence in the air, even before she got out of her car. It smelled like her mother-in-law. Actually, it was the car parked directly in front of the house, as if the other woman had no sense of space, leaving a very narrow gap for Eveline to squeeze through to get in. “Breathe,” she told herself under her breath. “She’s just trying to rile you up. If you give in, then she’s succeeded.” And she wasn’t going to let Shane or his mother ruin the perfect day she had, either. A sly smile slid over her face as she thought about it—slipping back to hours ago, when she sat at a table of very important people, praising Gerald. “He’s amazing, really. I know he does have some problems…but underneath all of that, he means well.”“He’s my father-in-law. Well…I don’t know about that. We get along just fine, but if you were to ask me…”Lucien had secretly given her a thumbs-up at some point, which had her grinning the entire time he drove her back to the hosp
Lucien “So…” Lucien felt himself smile when Eveline started. He knew she was dying to ask all the questions she’d held inside for the car ride. After all, he was the one who brought her alone. Why did he bring her along? It was an almost spontaneous decision. He’d been heading down to the first floor, and then he thought about her. He thought about her…and wanted her. And he didn’t think twice before pressing the button for her floor and riding the elevator up. It turned out to be a good idea because he couldn’t tell her the contents of the envelope he dropped on Gerald’s desk, but he could satisfy her curiosity a little bit. For now, at least. “Yes?” He turned to her when she fell silent. “You were saying?”She shook her head smartly, her hands linked behind her back. “Nope. I wasn’t saying anything.”He bit back a grin, covering his mouth briefly to hide it. “I see,” he managed to respond in a measured, unbothered tone. “The office is on the twentieth floor. I’ll handle eve
Eveline “…did you hear…”“I heard that he…”“Is he going to get fired? Without the funding, we’re going to lose…”Eveline could hear the whispers as she walked into the mental health department of the hospital. She’d been hearing it from the first floor—the ER wasn’t as busy as usual and the nurses were all huddled together.At first, she thought it was about her. She’d frozen with cold sweat streaking down her spine when one of the nurses at their station glanced her way with a look that didn’t seem at all casual. But as she got into the elevator and two other nurses had gotten in, she pieced some of the pieces together. Her dear father-in-law and administrator, Dr. Roswood, had committed a grave mistake that could cost Green Hill its government funding, which was the second biggest they got each year. And not only that, the director was beyond furious. “…I know they’re best friends. They even play golf together.” She slowed down instinctively, her ears perking up to a conversat
Lucien Lucien’s hands shook by his side as he let the tear roll, the emotions racing through him like a rollercoaster. Grief was the first thing he felt. His brother, Michael, had aged so much in the years he’d been out of the country. He had a blank, hollow look on his face too, like the other patients—prisoners- because he couldn’t call them patients when they were strapped down. Then anger. His fingers curled into tight fists that trembled, as his nails carved lines into his skin, breaking through the top layer of his skin. Rage came last, as his chest rose and fell, the sound of his breathing the only thing audible in the large room. It wasn't even large enough. The beds were almost sandwiched next to one another, and there was a single window on the north wall, high enough that Lucien couldn’t look through, and the natural light that came in was a small, narrow ray.The space was stark, without any personal furniture, and there was a certain musky smell in the air, like s
Lucien She was killing him. In the best way possible. Lucien’s grip on Eveline’s hips dug deeper as her ass slapped down on his thighs. He thrust up with quick thrusts, and she picked up speed, grinding down on him harder and faster. The wet slap of skin on skin mixed with their gasps and moans. His legs, still dangling off the edge, braced against the floor for better leverage, driving up into her until she was whimpering his name like a prayer.He sat up suddenly, one arm banding around her back to pull her flush against him, their mouths crashing together in a messy kiss while she continued to ride him. The new angle had her squeezing him tighter and her clit rubbing against him with every roll of her hips. “ Lucien— I’m—”“Come for me,” he breathed against her lips, his hands sliding up higher to caress her breasts. “Let me feel you.”He was close too…so fucking close. She came first, her entire frame quivering and shaking as she clung to him. He fucked her more, swallowing
Eveline Eveline’s mouth curved with a cheeky smile. “What kind of material are we talking about, Dr Roswood?” she whispered, her eyes dropping to his mouth. She gazed at him from beneath her lashes, deliberately tugging on her bottom lip, just enough to send a message through. “Do you plan on teaching me how to be a proper consultant? Do my job as well as you do yours?” Lucien shook his head as his gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing slightly as they dropped to her legs, where she had absolutely nothing on. “Not that kind.” She should feel some kind of…way. She was seated in front of him, exposed and bare. But all she wanted was more. With Shane, a quick session was enough for both of them. But Lucien Roswood made her feel like she could take more—he made her want more. She wanted to be bent over, arched, with her toes struggling to touch the floor. She wanted her fingers raking down his back because she was close to coming—and her legs clamped around his waist because she
Lucien Lucien paused at the nurses’ station, sliding the patient file into its slot. “Dr. Roswood.” “Belinda.” he nodded, curt but polite. “How’s the night shift treating you?” Nurse Belinda shook her head, exhaustion etched into the lines of her face. “Like a circus on fire. Two vomiting episo
Eveline The jump scare in the hallway that made Eveline flinch as she hurried down, glancing at her phone and praying she wasn’t late to work, was Shane. She stepped back, with her hand pressed to her chest. “Jesus. You scared the shit out of me. Wait…” she frowned, her mouth twitching to one
Eveline Her gaze swept over the sprawling, ten-bedroom mansion in the middle of an affluent neighborhood—and Eveline had to admit. Gerald Roswood was the worst of assholes, but at least he was true to his word. He’d gotten them the house she asked for in less than a week, and she didn’t have any
Eveline “Do you want to get out of bed, Miss Storm…or do you want me to fuck you?”Eveline halted, her eyes widening and her body freezing as he said the words. She wanted to get out—genuinely. After waking up from a dream where she was doing questionable things to Lucien, to find out they were n
