One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 207
Evelyn's POVA cool gust of wind swept through the campground, carrying with it a burst of laughter and cheering from somewhere farther down the hill, and a moment later somebody apparently connected a Bluetooth speaker because faint music began drifting between the trees, rising and falling with the wind while the sky overhead remained impossibly clear, crowded with so many stars that it almost felt unreal, as though the entire city of Los Angeles had been pushed dozens of miles away and left beyond the horizon.“What about you?”I turned toward Maddie and tucked my blanket more tightly around my shoulders.“Have you been seeing anyone lately?”“God, no.”The look of immediate disgust on her face was so dramatic that I started laughing before she'd even finished answering.“Recently it's been nothing but guys exactly like that one.”She gestured vaguely toward the woods where our unwanted visitor had disappeared.“Models?”“Young models.”She emphasized the word young as though it we

Evelyn's POVFor a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then she sighed.“You know, this whole thing proves at least one thing.”I glanced at her.“What's that?”“Julian may have an alarming number of issues.”The flames reflected in her eyes as she spoke.“Psychological issues. Control issues. Boundary issues. Rich-people issues. Probably several issues science hasn't even identified yet.”Despite myself, I felt the corner of my mouth twitch.Maddie pointed at the fire.“But.”She paused dramatically.“At least he's never looked at a woman who was actively crying and thought, you know what would really improve this situation? Asking her if she'd like to go back to my tent.”A laugh escaped me before I could stop it.Maddie immediately noticed.“See? That one was real.”I rolled my eyes.“That's an incredibly low standard.”“True.”She took another sip.“But it's still a standard.”The fire crackled softly between us.“And let's be honest,” she added, sounding far too pleased with hersel

Evelyn's POV“Whoa, relax.”He immediately threw both hands into the air and adopted the expression of a man who had somehow convinced himself he was the victim in this situation.“I didn't do anything.”“That's because she moved away.”Maddie's response arrived without a second of hesitation.“If you take one more step toward her, I'm pouring this hot chocolate directly into your pants and giving you a firsthand demonstration of what an actual victim looks like.”A burst of laughter erupted from somewhere nearby.A few young women at another campsite actually started clapping.The guy finally seemed to realize the atmosphere had shifted.Because the most uncomfortable thing about public embarrassment in America isn't being rejected by a woman.It's the moment everyone else notices you've been rejected and decides you're the problem.The second that happens, you stop being the unlucky guy whose flirting didn't work and immediately become the creep who's making everybody uncomfortable.

Evelyn's POVHis eyes lingered on my face before drifting lower for a fraction of a second.That was all it took.A wave of disgust rose immediately in my stomach.Not fear.Not even anger.Something colder than either of those.It was the feeling of being assessed rather than seen, of realizing that the person across from you wasn't actually interested in who you were, what you felt, or what you wanted, but was instead evaluating you the way someone might evaluate a car, a house, or anything else they believed could potentially belong to them.Maddie had clearly noticed it too.“Okay.”She set her mug down on the table with deliberate care before leaning forward slightly in her chair, her expression settling into the particular look she reserved for people who were seconds away from exhausting her patience.“Now I'm genuinely starting to wonder if you don't understand English,” she said, her voice calm but sharp enough to cut glass, “because she already told you no.”The guy laughed.
One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 203
Evelyn's POVMaddie and I looked up at the same time.At some point, a group of slightly drunk guys from the neighboring campsite had wandered over, their laughter carrying ahead of them through the cold night air. One of them, a man in a hiking jacket with a beer bottle dangling loosely from his hand, stopped near our fire and let his gaze travel openly over me.“Why are you crying?”He flashed a grin.“Who made a pretty girl like you cry?”The look in his eyes made something in my stomach tighten immediately.Yet he either didn't notice or simply didn't care, because he took another step closer, the smell of beer drifting toward us with the wind.“If he doesn't know how to appreciate you,” he said with an easy smile, “maybe I should get a chance instead.”When the words reached me, I didn't even realize at first that he was talking to me.The conversation with Maddie had drained me completely, leaving my thoughts tangled in places far away from this campsite, far away from the fire,
One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 202
Evelyn's POVThose things had become addictive.Those things had become the emotional equivalent of a slow poison that tasted sweet enough to make you forget it was killing you.Because if I kept accepting them, if I kept letting myself enjoy them, if I kept collecting them one after another and storing them away like treasured memories, eventually I would start expecting them, and there was something unbearably cruel about expecting devotion from someone who might never truly belong to you.The realization settled over me so heavily that it felt almost impossible to breathe through it.Because expecting something from a person who loved somebody else wasn't romantic, and it wasn't hopeful, and it certainly wasn't brave; it was simply a slower way of breaking your own heart while pretending you still had time to stop.The fire shifted in front of me, sending a shower of sparks upward into the darkness, and I stared into the flames as though they might somehow provide an answer, but al

Evelyn's POVA quiet laugh escaped him after that confession, bitter enough that it barely sounded like amusement at all.“That night, you were supposed to meet me,” he continued. “But instead, I watched you kiss your husband in the parking lot, and afterward you even called me just to provoke me.”

Evelyn's POVAnd the more I thought about it, the more horrifying another realization became, because underneath all those questions was one truth I suddenly couldn’t escape from anymore:I had never seriously questioned him at all.Not really.Somewhere along the way, I trusted Julian so naturally

Evelyn's POVJulian’s voice came lower this time, steadier than mine, but I still caught the hesitation buried underneath it.That hesitation hurt worse than denial would have.Because it meant Sebastian was telling the truth.Slowly, I looked at Julian.And for the first time since meeting him, I

Evelyn's POVEverything fell apart so quickly after that that my brain barely had time to catch up.One moment Sebastian still had his hand wrapped around my wrist, refusing to let go no matter how hard I struggled, and the next Julian was already moving.Fast.Faster than I had ever seen him move
