Aubrey

I had been enjoying the night. Everett hasn’t bothered me too much, but his eyes have been on me most of the night. My only regret is I have drunk too much. I am a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. I shouldn’t have had more than a couple.

The best thing for me to do is find somewhere else to go on the property and stay out of the way. I don’t want to embarrass Erica or Hugo in any way. I sneak away while everyone is preoccupied. I grab a bottle of water and walk away. I walk away from the backyard.

I stroll down the long path, and I reach the lake behind the house. I take a seat at the end of the walkway, my feet dangling over the water. It’s both beautiful and peaceful. There is not a single soul in sight. The noise from the party is barely audible. If I hadn’t been drinking, I would go for a swim. That lake is privately owned. Each home in the area has a stake in it.

There is a little light left. Darkness will fall soon. I will head back to join everyone before that occ

  • 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

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Thirteen

    EverettI had spent the afternoon with Aubrey at her place. She has been quiet, mostly, but she hasn’t once asked me to leave. Maybe we are making some progress, or she is tired of telling me to leave her alone and has gotten nowhere.“Are you hungry? I could make us some lunch.” She says, breaking the silence.I had immensely enjoyed the silence that was between us, but at least she is speaking.“Sure,” I reply.I am getting a little hungry. She smiles and slowly stands up.“Is your back still sore?”“A little, but it will ease.” She shrugs and disappears to the kitchen.I sigh and get to my feet. She is still in more pain than she likes to admit. I can’t help but wonder what happened in her past with the way she flinched. I know it too well. I did the same when I was a kid, any time my father would get close. Someone hurt her.I follow her to the kitchen.“Is a ham salad roll okay? With some pickles on the side?”I screw up my face, “No pickles. I don’t like them.”She seems shocked
