Sinful Temptations Her bodyguard, her lover (6)
ELOISE POVI had managed to avoid Alexander for almost six hours, it shouldn't have been difficult. The house was large enough for two people to disappear from each other, and I had made sure to stay upstairs whenever I heard his footsteps in the hallway. After everything that happened that morning, I wasn't ready to look him in the eyes and pretend the kiss hadn't affected me, because it had.I could still remember the feel of his hand against my cheek, the controlled restraint in the way he kissed me, and the way his eyes had looked at me afterward. He had warned me that it was a bad idea, and somehow that only made me want him more.I was beginning to hate myself for it. I finally decided that the only way to get him out of my head was to distract myself, so I took my laptop downstairs and settled on the sofa in the living room. I had barely managed to read through a few lines when I noticed the weather outside.The rain had started sometime in the late afternoon, soft enough that

ELOISE POV How I had managed to sleep, I had no idea. All I knew was that I woke up and the sun was already high in the sky. Rubbing my eyes sluggishly, I got up to prepare for my day and confront the one person I thought I was safe with. I was still in shock from the video I was sent last night. Alexander was a murderer. I knew he had killed people while in the Marine Corps, but I didn't think he would continue in the bloodshed now that he was a civilian. I showered quickly and dressed without giving much thought to what I was wearing. My mind was too occupied with the same questions that had kept me awake most of the night. Why had Alexander killed that man? Why had he lied to me? And who had sent me the video in the first place? I picked up my phone from the bedside table and stared at the message again. Are you sure you can trust him? I hated that the question had gotten into my head,more than that, I hated that I didn't know the answer. I left my room and headed downstairs

ELOISE POVLena was already waiting for me downstairs when I came out of my room, and the moment she saw me, she clapped her hands together.“Finally. I was beginning to think you had decided to spend the rest of your life hiding upstairs.”I rolled my eyes as I walked toward her. “I said I would come shopping with you, didn't I?”“You did, but knowing you, you could have changed your mind.”“I wouldn't dare.”“Good answer.” She looked me over before nodding approvingly. “You look better already.”I smiled faintly. “I feel better.”It wasn't entirely true. My ear still hurt, and the memory of the gunshots hadn't disappeared. Sometimes, when the house became too quiet, I could still hear them in my head. But sitting there with Lena, talking about clothes and shoes like we had done a hundred times before, made everything feel a little less frightening.Nico was waiting by the door, his expression as serious as ever.Lena pointed at him. “Nicky, let's go.”“Nico.”“That's what I said.”“

Eloise POVThe sight of blood on my fingers made me nauseous, gunshots still rang in the room and Alexander pushed my head closer to him. There was a consistent whine ringing in my head, until finally the shots stopped.“Are you alright?”I could see his mouth move but I couldn't make out the words he was saying. “The bullet grazed your ear, next time I tell you to get down you do it without questions, do you understand me Eloise”I nodded my head even though the only part I had heard was the bullet grazing my ear. “Are we safe?”Alexander stood up accessing the damage done to the room, glass shattered beneath his boots as he took long strides to reach his phone which was now on the other end of the room. I slowly stood up, raking my gaze everywhere, observing the damage the shooters had caused, bullet casings lay everywhere, broken glass and artifacts lay on the floor but none of that was my concern. The only question on my mind was how did they know I had been discharged from the h

ELOISE POVI opened my eyes slowly, blinking several times as I tried to make sense of the white ceiling above me. For a few seconds, I couldn't remember where I was or why my entire body felt like it had been dragged through hell. Then everything came back in pieces. The restaurant. The messages. The car coming toward me. The brakes. The crash.My heart began pounding as the memory hit me all at once. I instinctively tried to sit up, but pain shot through my body and forced me back against the pillow. I winced and looked around the unfamiliar room. A hospital room. An IV was attached to my hand, and the faint beeping of the monitor beside my bed filled the silence. I looked down at myself and noticed the bruises scattered across my arms. My head throbbed, and there was a dull ache running through my ribs, but considering what had happened, I was surprised I could move at all.I tried to raise my hand to push a strand of hair away from my face, but I couldn't. Something was resting on
