TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Ninety four
Evangeline Nadia rubbed her temple and stepped closer to the bed. “Eva, stop. You’re not thinking clearly.”I pushed myself upright against the headboard, the IV line tugging at my wrist. “I am thinking clearly. Can’t you see that? Everything got worse when this started, and you know it.”Nadia moved to the foot of the bed. “You’re scared. That’s normal. But you don’t get to make decisions about someone else’s body because you’re scared.”“It’s not about control. It’s about survival.” I pulled the blanket tighter around my waist. “You should be on my side. You’re my best friend.”She dragged a chair closer and sat. “No. I love you, but this is extreme. The contract is documented. She can report us for violating her body, and nobody will defend you. The agreement was natural conception, which means sex had to happen. Cameron might have gotten distracted, but we don’t need to panic. We wait. She gives birth. She leaves. If he still stays attached after that, then we deal with it. Then

EvangelineI woke with a coated mouth and a bitter film stuck to the back of my tongue, the taste dragging when I swallowed. My eyelids resisted when I opened them, and when I moved, the blanket pressed down across my legs like extra weight. I pressed my lips together because I knew exactly why I was in that bed. The argument, shouting and fainting.I pulled the blanket higher, hiding my face from the room even though everyone had already seen. Cameron's hand slid under my pillow and lifted it, adjusting the angle under my neck.My chest loosened when I saw him, and I grabbed onto that feeling before anything else could push in. His hair stuck up where he had been dragging his hands through it.“You’re awake.” He leaned closer, searching my face.My throat scratched when I spoke. “What happened?”“You fainted. The doctor gave you something to settle your system.” His hand stayed near my shoulder, like he was ready to catch me again.I glanced at the bedside table. I looked past him a

LisaMy hand remained on the door handle as I stood there like a fool. I didn’t move away from it.Evangeline had looked at me with pure hostility. It wasn’t normal anger or jealousy. It was something harsher, the kind of look that made me react before I even understood why.I backed away from the door and sat on the edge of the bed. My legs didn’t feel steady under me. She could have hurt me.The realization sat heavy in my chest. What am I doing here?The house felt too big and too quiet, and I couldn’t shake the sense that I didn’t belong in it. I had never felt unsafe here before. I had felt awkward and out of place, but never unsafe. Now it was different.Headlights swept across the gravel. I stood and walked toward the window. A car turned into the driveway and stopped near the entrance.Franklin and Doctor Beauty headed straight for the entrance without stopping. Voices carried faintly from downstairs. Doors opening. Footsteps moving fast across the floor. This was happenin

CameronThe door clicked shut behind Evangeline, and the noise lingered in the room, settling into the walls and furniture.I stared at the door she had just walked through, hating myself for using that tone on her. Pressure built under my ribs. Her glossy eyes kept replaying in my head, that devastated look on her face.I should have stopped talking when I saw that.Needing help, I grabbed my phone off the table and called Nadia. The line rang in my ear. It kept ringing.Nadia always answered, even when she was drunk or busy. If she missed a call, she would call back quickly, usually with a joke about me being dramatic.It went to voicemail.I walked toward the window and shoved the curtain aside, staring out without seeing anything.It went to voicemail again.Franklin picked up on the first ring.“Where is Nadia?”“She left earlier,” he said. “Probably with Desmond.”“She isn’t answering, and that’s not like her. Send your men to Desmond and confirm she’s there. Check her usual spo

Cameron POVThe suite was quiet when I walked in, but the silence felt wrong.The lamp beside the sofa was on. A cup of tea sat on the table, untouched. Evangeline's medication tray was pushed to the side like someone had moved it without care.She stood near the window instead of resting on the couch. That alone told me everything. Her arms wrapped around herself, fingers gripping the fabric of her sweater. She did not turn when I closed the door.“You love her,” she said before I could speak.Her voice sounded controlled, but there was strain under it.“Eva, please let's not do this. I went to bring her back from the club. I was only being concerned “She scoffed. “Is that what we’re calling it now?”I stepped closer. “Eva—”“No.” She turned toward me sharply. Her eyes were wet. “You promised me you would take care of me. That you would not leave me while I’m sick and barely holding together. And tonight you were out enjoying yourself with her.”“I was not enjoying myself.”“You le
