"This is weird, something is wrong somewhere."Well, for Eve, it could never get more weird than positioning butt naked in the middle of a studio where she was surrounded by canvases,With a very naked Alessandro Stark playing artist with that serious look on his face.She made a mental note to self; nude Alessandro with a grim expression equalled a clown.Regardless of how she felt, she swallowed the urge to laugh or make the various jokes in her head."Wrong?"Alessandro nodded and looked up from the canvass, gripping the pencil tightly in his fingers."Yeah, I... something doesn't seem right."He moved away from the canvas and stepped into her line of vision, wearing nothing but that glorious effortless seduction that suddenly made her want to jump him right there.But also induced the feeling of guilt in her.She wasn't supposed to be selfish and only thinking of how much she wanted him at this moment when he was struggling.Eve cleared her throat and held herself still, holding h
Eve was pulled out of a long long sleep by her annoyingly loud ringtone.It all came down to reaching for her phone and flinging it into the bathroom since she was still sore from earlier that morning.The reminder had colour flooding her cheeks, and she attempted to bury her head in the pillows,Well, that attempt failed, since the ringtone went off again, and this time, it was louder and ten times more annoying."Oh for Pete's sake..." Eve started to curse as she roughly pulled the duvet off her body, but she was halted by the image of her husband who stood in front of her, holding out her phone."It's been ringing for a while, think you should take it." Well, that thickness in his voice was definitely a total awakening agent.But it also brought memories of early that morning, and all the things they had done in his studio.He'd had to carry her up the stairs after draping that robe over her, his deep chortle laughing at her exhaustion."Guess I just brought to life the expressi
Something changed between them.Perhaps it was the declaration that Eve had made, or that pillow talk they'd had. It could also be their routine of her posing as his Muse while he tried to get what he was looking for.He still hadn't succeeded after the fourth day, but they had grown closer and learnt more things about each other than they both thought they would.For instance, Alessandro had let it slip that he had once tried out being a Dom between the sheets before with an ex, but it hadn't worked out so much.There hadn't been that trust between them.Well, damn her for picking up on that among several other things he had shared with her, but Eve was determined more than ever to try something new with him.Somehow, with each moment she got closer to him, she feared that their time together was running thin.It was obviously her paranoia, but she couldn't shake the thought out of her head.Which was exactly why Eve stood in front of the package she had ordered online, a mischievou
A leap of faith, complete surrender of herself.That how she felt when she mentioned her name for the first time in the presence of Alessandro.He was deeply skeptical man who could easily read meaning into it and find out what she had been hiding.But she said it anyway, against all odds."Eve..." Her name had never sounded more sweet, more enticing.Alessandro made it that way, and she remained at his feet with her eyes covered with love for him."I like the name, Eve. For some reason, it suits you, my forbidden fruit."He made everything sound like sex, and she shivered when his fingers brushed against her neck and trailed down her scantily covered lingerie."You wore this to drive me crazy, didn't you? I'm gonna spank you now, baby girl, punish you for making me this...crazy." She felt him move away from her, and the next thing she knew, that feather material was teasing her nipples and moving down to her wet sex.Her thighs clamped together, and an internal moan slipped from her
Eve stepped out of the same private jet which had months ago flew them from Paris after a sham of a honeymoon.But this time, she was smiling and glowing more than ever, with Alessandro by her side, his hand resting on her waist as though it had always belonged there.And she felt right with his touch, as comfortable as she did in her own skin. She leaned into him as their boxes were rolled behind them, her eyes glinting with so much happiness that it came as a shock when they were suddenly surrounded by reporters."Welcome from your vacation, what do you have to say about the multiple pictures of you in the streets of Paris?""You stayed off social media throughout your vacation, would you like to comment on that?""Is it true that you got married again..."Well, there went a bitter dose of reality. Microphones were pushed into their faces, camera lights attempting to blind them.Just when Eve thought she might collapse from all those lights, she was spun around, her face buried in
Eve kept a fast pace as she fled from the elevator, her assistant hot on her heels."Boss...boss, I don't...I didn't know!" His voice was loud behind her, but all that occupied her mind and kept echoing in her ears were those words.It was as though they had been said directly to her, and she managed to keep walking in her stilettos, her chest heaving as she got to her office and opened the door...Another surprise awaited her.Her office which had been organised minutes ago, was in a state of disarray, turned upside down and scattered beyond recognition.Her heart skipped and stopped for a moment."Wha...what is this?" Eve muttered, her fingers trembling as she ran them through the table where her drawers were open."Oh my God! Who is this crazy bitch! Security!" Vegas yelled, and in a minute, uniformed security rushed into the office."The boss' office was ransacked! What were you doing..."Apologies and explanations and more telling were flying in from all directions, but Eve's eye
Eve prepared her mind for the questions, the rounds of interrogations that would follow.But her husband simply clicked on 'delete' and trashed the message, returning the phone to his pocket, his head reclined against the car seat.Now that was anticlimactic, or even worse, because now she was battling with various guesses of what could be going on in his mind.What was he thinking?Why wasn't he saying anything?Silence took the head table, the tension so thick she could reach out and slice it.When it got to a point where it threatened to choke her, Eve parted her lips and broke the silence."Alessandro, let's talk about the message you just received."Her heart was pounding so hard that she could hear it, and he turned to her, his expression unreadable in the semi-darkness."Why don't we wait till we get home?" Gosh, even his voice was impassive, betraying nothing of what he could actually be feeling.Eve fiddled with the material of her clothes and inhaled deeply, forcing a smile
Months ago, Eve had prayed for this moment when Ava would return and she could go back to her normal life.But now, her head was swirling and her heart aching as reality crashed down on her.Her lips hung open, but no words could come out of it.She was still thinking of what to say when footsteps padded on the grand stairs, shattering the block in her train of thoughts.It could be anyone who would walk in and see her with her sister.Eve started to panic, her fingers trembling and tightening around the door knob, but she soon felt herself pulled into the room, the door shut quietly,Leaving her alone with her sister, whose expression proved that Eve wasn't hallucinating as she had hoped."I...um, you are...back?" Eve stuttered, her brain barely able to function amidst all the thoughts and anxiety blocking its passage.Ava smiled and took her hands, pulling her into a hug."Thanks so much for standing in for me, sister. I will take it from here."Thanks for standing in? She could tak
