All Chapters of Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession: Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

-Grace-My lips curled into a smile as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. This wasn’t just beauty, it was perfection.I had put in a lot of money, time, and effort to look this good for my date with Dominic Kingston tonight.From my 24-karat gold facial to the oxygen therapy, the lymphatic sculpting, the glass-skin hydration drip, and the custom ceramic blowout that took three hours. Anyone with functioning eyes should be able to acknowledge that.Ever since we formally met on the golf course three days ago, I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. He was exactly the kind of man of I dreamt of. Although he was cold, but I was determined to make him warm up to me.“I gathered the information she you asked for, Miss Langley,” My assistant, Freya began as she stalked into my bedroom. She could be a bother some times, but this was crucial before the date with Dominic later.“Let’s hear it,” I said, my voice lazy, eyes glued to the mirror, because I was the only thing that matt

The way his hands had steadied me, diving to the deepest crevices of my body.And then, the way he had had gone cold, pulling my hands like I’d crossed some line I didn’t understand, and I hated how much his bothered me.My face flushed with embarrassment when I remembered how he sounded. Put yourself together.“Maybe it’s because I expected too much?”My thoughts barely settled before the elevator chimed open to our departmental floor.I let out a small sigh as got out, dragging myself over to my desk to gather my things. The entire floor was empty, and the lights were turned off in some parts.My mind wandered off to Dominic again. Maybe it didn’t mean anything to him.As I gathered my things, my phone quietly li
