GRAYSON

How the fuck was I supposed to stay just friends with a lady I was totally obsessed with?

How was I supposed to pretend that I didn't want her, didn't yearn for her every single second of every single day?

But I'd given my word, and I had every intention of keeping it.

I knew how difficult it would be for her to trust me, so it was better not to rush her. Better to lean in slowly, to make her trust me—even just a little bit. To show her through actions, not words, that I'd changed.

No matter how much my heart yearned for her. No matter how hard I got whenever she stood before me in those silk pajamas that showed the perfect outline of her breasts and hips. No matter how much I wanted to pin her against the wall and fuck her brains out until she screamed my name and forgot every reason she had to hate me.We would just be friends.For now.Because I had no intentions of letting Eva go. Not now. Not ever. Never again.It had been real work getting her

    I frowned as I turned to see Grayson walking towards us, his expression dark and thunderous.He stopped a few inches before me, his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle ticking."Let's go inside, Eva," he said, his voice low and controlled in a way that made my skin prickle.I raised a brow. "Excuse me? Who do you think you are to order me around?"Grayson pinned me with a hard glare, his gray eyes flashing with something dangerous. "I don't want my patience to be tested. Get inside. Right fucking now."I opened my mouth to protest, fury rising in my chest—But before I could get a single word out, he bent down, hurled me over his shoulder like I weighed nothing, and started marching toward the cabin."Put me down!" I screamed, pounding my fists against his back. "You psychotic asshole! Put me the fuck down right now!"He didn't respond. Didn't slow down. Just kept walking with determined strides while I cursed and struggled against his grip.Behind us, I heard Sylvester's unc

    I walked into my room and shut the door behind me, leaning against it as I tried to steady my breathing.It wwas then I heard the unmistakable sound of Grayson throwing up in the bathroom down the hall.Violent, wrenching sounds that made my stomach twist.A part of me felt guilty. A small, traitorous part that whispered maybe I'd been too harsh, maybe I should check on him, maybe he was genuinely sick with remorse.Stop it, Eva! I scolded myself mentally. Do not be fucking weak.Grayson was a monster. Whatever redemption he might have gone through over the past few years could never atone for what I'd lost because of his cruelty. He'd destroyed my life, my family, my sense of self. He'd taken everything from me and left me with nothing but shame and pain and scars that would never fully heal.I didn't owe him sympathy.I didn't owe him anything.I sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled out my diary—a leather-bound notebook I'd been keeping since I left Willow Creek. Writing has a

    The sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand was what woke me up the next morning.I groaned and closed my eyes, playing with the idea of just ignoring the call until it rang again and I reached out and grabbed it.St. Mary’s Hospital flashed across the screen.My heart stopped.I answered immediately, my hands already shaking. “Hello?”“Miss Rose, this is Dr. Patel.” His voice was calm but serious. “I’m calling to let you know that your mother is being prepped for surgery right now. We’re moving forward with the procedure we discussed.”“Right now?” I sat up, my chest tightening. “But I thought—I thought it wasn’t scheduled until—”“Her condition deteriorated overnight,” he said gently. “We had to move up the timeline. I wanted to call before we took her into the operating room so you could speak with her if you’d like.”“Yes,” I said immediately. “Yes, please. Put her on.”There was a rustling sound, and then my mother’s voice came through, weak and thready but still unmistakably

    I woke to sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows and, for one blissful moment, forgot where I was or everything else for that matter… just focused on the beautiful and warm feeling that only Christmas morning would bring.Then reality crashed back down.Grayson. The auction. Twelve days in this cabin.I groaned and rolled over, ready to bury myself under the covers and pretend the world didn’t exist, when I noticed something hanging on my bedroom door.A stocking.A fucking beautiful red stocking, with white fur trim, and embroidered across the top in elegant script: Eva.My chest tightened.I threw off the covers and walked over to it, my hands shaking slightly as I lifted it off the hook. It was heavier than I expected, and against my better judgment, plus of course that girlish excitement, I opened it.Inside were small, thoughtful gifts that made my blood run cold at how much they were made for me.My favorite candy—the obscure brand of salted caramel chocolates I
