Chloe heard a knock on the door while she was getting out of the shower. She was not expecting anyone at that time, so she didn't have any idea of who could be. "Evan?" Chloe couldn't be more discredited when she saw her boss standing in front of her. At her apartment."Yes. May I come in?" he asked tiredly."No!" she answered without thinking. "I mean, what are you doing here?""I would not come if it was not important." he stated."Ok, come in. Just wait a second because I need to change, you know… my clothes." Chloe was embarrassed."It's fine." Evan said while he was stepping in the room. But before going through her, Evan got closer to her face and when he was almost kissing her lips, he just said: "You look good to me." Then he kissed her cheek. Chloe swallowed hard and closed the door. She was feeling uncomfortable with that bathrobe so she didn't think twice before going to change it."Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back in a minute."When Chloe was about to turn arou
Chloe was enjoying the pleasant morning air as she watched the landscape pass by outside the car. Evan was driving to the airport, where he said they would board his private jet and head towards the island where the family reunion was to take place.Family. She was going to meet his family. What would they think of her? Were they as cold and distant as most rich people were? What if they found out that this was all a plan?Too many questions without answers and Chloe was getting more nervous at each step closer to that holiday. "Is everything ok, Chloe?" Evan glanced at her quickly. "Yes." she shook her head and replied to him."Don't worry too much, darling. They are cool." he held her hand and that action took Chloe by surprise. "You just need to be careful with my mom." That statement made Chloe look at him in despair. He gave an embarrassed smile."Moms, you know." he completed."Are you already acting in your role?" Chloe asked while she raised their hands together to show what
Their kiss was interrupted by Evan's phone ringing. He didn't let go of Chloe completely, just pulled out a hand to pick up the device and see who it was.The name "Jill" was on the screen. Evan sighed heavily and turned off without answering. Chloe saw who was and it changed her humor."I'm gonna take a shower." She broke free from the hug, grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom.Evan realized her change and gave space to her. He went to the balcony and inhaled deeply. Maybe the fresh air of his favorite place on Earth could help him get himself together. Why did Jill still mess with him? What kind of feeling was that? The only thing Evan could assure was: what he felt for Chloe was very different from what he felt for Jill. Could one of those feelings be love?Chloe was overthinking while she washed her hair. Why would Jill only appear at moments that were meant to be just the two of them? That was freaking Chloe out. When Chloe thought she was reaching Evan's heart, Jill a
Chloe could not believe Evan was still thinking about Jill, after everything she made to him, his feelings for her were alive yet. He should have loved her despite claiming otherwise. With those thoughts in mind, Chloe entered the house and she was following straight to her room when Emma stopped her before she reached the stairs. "Chloe, lunch is served. I was about to call you and Evan." Emma said gently."Thank you Emma, but I'm with a boring headache and I'd prefer to lay down a bit." Chloe simply said."Do you need any medicine?" Emma sounded worried."No, thanks. I already took it. It's just tiredness." Chloe answered."Ok, get well soon." Emma said not feeling convinced and Chloe just nodded and followed her way. Chloe closed the door behind her and sighed heavily. When did her life become an unprecedented romantic drama?Evan was trying to understand why he was so bothered when Chloe called him 'sugar'. That word brought a lot of memories with Jill, when she used to please h
The sunset was coloring the sky with pink while Chloe was watching the waves of the sea. When she went downstairs, Evan and Emma were talking so she decided to take a walk at the beach alone.That place was a paradise indeed. Chloe thought her parents would love to go there someday, but then she remembered it was a private island. "This is not my reality." she thought out loud. As the air was getting cold, she embraced herself. After a few minutes, she felt big and warm hands touching her arms and hugging her from behind. That scent was unmistakable, so he didn't need to say a word. Chloe already knew who was. Her whole body shivered with that touch."I was looking for you." Evan said in her ear.She didn't answer. Chloe just wanted to feel that heat in silence, enjoying the sensation of their bodies together. She didn't know if it was the place or the man, but she felt comfortable in that moment."A penny for your thoughts." he said calmly while resting his chin on top of her head.
Chloe opened her eyes and blinked a few times to get used to the light. She felt the comfortable sheets under her body and it reminded her where she was. She quickly looked around checking if he was there. When she was about to sigh in relief, the door from the bathroom opened and a distracted Evan came out, wearing shorts and a towel around his neck. Chloe swallowed hard. How could a man be so perfect?"Enjoying the view, love?" he mocked as he towel-dried his hair.Chloe was embarrassed and got up from bed promptly, trying to ignore his presence. She made her way straight to the bathroom, but before she reached the door, Evan held her by waist and glued their bodies. "Good morning to you too." Evan said in her ear, teasing her."Mor…morning!" her voice came out weaker than expected.Evan gave a victorious smile and let her go. She ran into the bathroom and locked herself there for long minutes.When Chloe entered in the kitchen, only the maid was there, washing some dishes."Mornin
When Evan and Chloe came back to the house it was lunch time. All the family was seated around the table, talking about amenities. The couple joined them and Chloe was feeling so much better after Evan's support at the beach.Evan seemed to be another man. He was joking, playing with the kids, and sometimes he glanced at Chloe just to make sure she was ok. Chloe wondered if that version was the real one or if he was just playing a great role."Evan, I would like to discuss some business issues with you. Would you join me for a coffee in my office?" Richard said calmly."Sure. Shall we?" Evan asked and his father just nodded.They excused themselves to leave the table and Evan gave a quick kiss at Chloe's head before he followed his father.Chloe went to her room to take a shower while Emma and Elena went to the living room to play with the kids. When Richard and Evan were comfortable, the maid served the coffee and left the room. "What's wrong, dad? I don't believe we have a business
Before Chloe answered if she was ready to the next step, Emma entered the kitchen with the kids saying she would like to taste that chocolate cake. Evan was still hugging Chloe when they arrived, which made that moment a little embarrassing for the couple."You two, get a room!" Emma mocked.Chloe blushed and tried to hide her face in Evan's chest. He just smiled and kissed her hair."We're leaving, don't worry." Evan stated."Where are you going?" Elena asked while she was stepping in."It's a secret place I would like to take Chloe." He said proudly.Emma and Elena glanced at each other as if that was a big deal. Evan rolled his eyes and took Chloe by the hand."Let's go! We need to enjoy the sunlight."After long minutes walking inside the tropical forest, they found a crystal clear water lake with several rocks around it and a big rocky opening at the bottom, which looked like a cave."That's amazing, Evan!""Are you ready to see the best part?" he asked and she nodded in affirmati
