Everett

I was hoping for a different reaction from Aubrey. She didn’t seem fussed at all, but the night had only begun. We still have time. I will keep a close eye on her to see if it does bother her eventually.

The three of us head inside. Hugo is coming towards us as we do.

“I never thought you would be someone I would see again,” he smiles, hugging Tara.

She happily hugs back, “Me neither. It’s great to see you, Hugo.”

“You too.” He replies as they part.

Erica and Tara head inside to get a drink. My little brother’s attention falling on me.

“You two aren’t back together, are you?” he questions, raising his eyebrow.

I shake my head. “No, of course not. She didn’t have any plans, so I invited her along. You know how toxic we were when we were in a relationship.”

“Good, because the two of you should not be in a relationship.”

“I know. Happy birthday, little brother.” I smile, hugging him.

“Thank you. Where is my present?” he chuckles.

I smirk. “It will arrive tomorrow.”

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Nineteen

    EverettI have kept my promise and behaved. It hasn’t been easy, but I know if I didn’t, Aubrey would have left. I hate the long game, but I will continue to play along until I get what I want. She is already close to breaking. It had been a relaxing night, spent watching a movie and enjoying snacks.I check the time, and it is getting late. If she wants to go home, she should leave before it gets any later. I glance over at Aubrey and find her sound asleep, her head resting on the arm of the sofa. It doesn’t look very comfortable. She can stay here. If she doesn’t like it, tough. I would rather she not crash on the way home because she is half asleep. I will take her to my bed. At least that way, if she wakes up and freaks out because she forgets where she is, she will see me next to her.I stand, going around and making sure everything is switched off, and the door is locked. I arrange my bed so I can just put her straight into it. She still has clothes on, it won’t be comfortable t

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Eighteen

    Aubrey Just my luck!I am trying to get away from here, away from Everett, but my car has decided not to start. How typical! I groan, trying again for the fourth time, and finally, the stupid thing starts. I look up, making sure I am clear to pull out. When I do, I get the fright of my life. I squeal at the figure standing in front of my car. It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust and realise it is Everett. God damn it! I was hoping I could get away before he showed up.He rests his hand on the bonnet of my car, refusing to move. I huff, resting back on my cheat and glaring at him. He motions for me to get out of the car. I shake my head. I refuse to go out there. He stands up straight and comes around to the driver’s side, tapping on the window. Everett crosses his arms over his chest and waits for me to get out. I glance back and forth, wondering if I could safely drive off without hitting him or crashing. No matter how badly I want to get away from him, I wouldn’t put either of

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Seventeen

    Everett“Thank you for dinner.” Aubrey smiles as we head through to the living room with a glass of wine.“You are welcome. I am glad you came. I honestly believed you would have changed your mind.”She raises her brow at me. “Like I had a choice. If I didn’t, you would have shown up at my place.”I could deny it, but what would be the point? We know it is the truth. I smirk and nod. She responds to me with an eye roll. I chuckle, shaking my head. I guide her towards the sofa, letting her sit first before I join her. I sit as close as possible, making her nervous. I always have fun making her nervous.“Could you get any closer? What is the need for it?” she asks.I take her glass from her and set it down on the coffee table. I do the same with mine. Aubrey looks at me, confused. I don’t say anything. In one swift movement, I bring her into my lap, causing her to gasp. “There is always room to get closer.”“What are you doing?” she breathes out.“Nothing,” I say casually.She goes to c

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixteen

    Aubrey I need out of this damn meeting! I need to be away from Everett. I am sitting between him and Hugo, but that hasn’t stopped Everett from teasing me. Does he want to get caught? His hands have been wandering under the table, getting a little close to a place he shouldn’t be. It is driving me crazy. I am aroused! Why does this man insist on torturing me? He has no shame. I turn my head to glare at him and swat his hand away from stroking the side of my thigh. He smirks but keeps his attention focused on the meeting, acting like he isn’t doing anything.“Please, excuse me, I need to use the restroom,” I say, getting to my feet and rushing out of the room.I head straight for the bathroom, lock myself in one of the stalls and take a minute to pull it together. My body feels like it is on fire. I leave the stall and stand in front of the mirror. My face is flushed, and my eyes seem a little darker than normal. I groan in frustration and splash some cold water on my face. Thankfully

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Fifteen

    EverettI have no patience left. I honestly thought Aubrey would have broken and given in. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It has been three days and nothing. I tried to call, but she rejected my calls. I texted a few times, but she ignored those, too. I haven’t been to her place because I have been busy. I don’t like being ignored and having to do the chasing. I don’t take it well. I am surprised I am not bored yet. I tend not to play with the same toy for too long.Aubrey can’t avoid me today, though. I am heading to my brother’s office. Where I will be for the rest of the afternoon. Hugo and I have business to discuss and an important meeting.I arrive outside, park and head up to his floor. I am a little early. I can have a coffee while I wait, one which Aubrey will have to get me. I wonder if she knows I am coming today.I enter, and the cute receptionist smiles and checks me out. I was going to walk by, but changed my mind. I can’t remember her name. I confidently stroll toward

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Fourteen

    AubreyI hate how badly affected I am by the kiss we shared. I am so sexually frustrated. I need to snap out of it. It was a mistake! I should have pushed him away before he even had the chance to cover my lips with his.“Aubrey, eat your food; don’t play with it.”Everett’s firm voice pulls me from my thoughts. I glance across the table at him.“I will eat it when I am ready.” I snap.I half expect him to snap back at me, but he doesn’t. I see a smirk curl on his lips.“What is the matter? What has you so distracted?”Asshole! He knows fine well what is distracting me. I roll my eyes and don’t answer him. I pick at my lunch. I hear the chair screech against my floor. Please tell me he is not coming over here. I keep my head down, hoping he's done with his lunch and is taking his plate to the sink.My hope is shattered when I see him stand at my side out of the corner of my eye. I slowly lift my head to look up at him. He is staring down at me intensely. I swallow hard and shift in my
