Chapter 31 - Practicing Husband Duties

Evelyn“Wh…what do you mean?” I stammered, my voice coming out embarrassingly shaky.Damon stared at me without blinking, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly while his teeth dragged slowly against his lower lip like he was enjoying every second of my panic, and somehow that made him look even more dangerous.My heartbeat turned uneven immediately.Before I could step away, his hands slid firmly onto my waist, pulling me closer until my palm landed against the center of his chest.My breath caught.“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about,” he murmured softly near my ear.The deep sound of his voice sent heat rushing straight through me so suddenly it annoyed me.Why was this man always doing this to me?I pushed against his chest quickly, trying to create distance, but Damon barely moved. If anything, he only pulled me back against him harder.“What are you doing?” I asked slowly, trying very hard not to sound affected.His eyes dropped briefly to my lips before retu

EvelynI pulled away from him so fast his fingers slipped from the zipper immediately.“That’s enough. I’ll do the rest myself,” I said quickly, forcing my voice to stay steady while I reached behind me again.But Damon's eyes narrowed slowly as he stared at me, and suddenly the air inside the room felt too thick to breathe properly.The corner of his mouth lifted, just enough to make my stomach tighten.“Looks like you finally remembered what happened that night.”My heart skipped so violently it almost hurt. The zipper stopped moving completely beneath my fingers.For a second, I forgot how to breathe. Damon took one slow step closer.I immediately stepped back. Then another and another until my back hit the wall behind me.The cold surface against my skin did absolutely nothing to cool the sudden heat rushing through my body. His hands moved to the wall, caging me in.His eyes stayed locked on mine the entire time, dark and unreadable, watching every tiny reaction on my face like h

Damon“You can leave now if you want,” I murmured against her lips, my voice low enough to make the silence between us feel heavier. “Because when I start, I don’t stop.”The words came out rougher than I intended.Evelyn stayed beneath me, her breathing uneven, and the closer I looked at her, the more obvious it became that she was fighting herself.I could see it in her eyes. That hesitation and fear. That dangerous curiosity she kept trying to bury. But she still didn’t move.A slow smile pulled at the corner of my mouth.“I’ll take that as a yes.”I leaned closer until my lips brushed the shell of her ear. Her entire body tensed instantly beneath me, and the reaction alone nearly destroyed the little control I had left.Then I lowered my mouth to her neck. The second my lips touched her skin, she gasped softly.Just one small sound.But damn.That tiny sound hit me harder than it should have.My hand pressed into the mattress beside her while I kissed the sensitive spot below he

EvelynThe second I got back to my room, I dropped face first onto the bed like my body had completely given up on me. The mattress dipped beneath me as I buried my face into the pillow, but it did absolutely nothing to calm the mess happening inside my head.“What is wrong with you, Evelyn?” I groaned into the pillow before rolling onto my back sharply.My fingers dragged over my lips slowly, and I bit down on the bottom one without realizing it.This was getting completely out of hand. It was supposed to be simple. A contract. Just a stupid arrangement between two people using each other for their own reasons. That was all. Nothing emotional. Nothing complicated. So why did my chest still feel tight?Why could I still feel his breath against my neck?And worst of all… why the hell could I still picture the water dripping down his body?My eyes squeezed shut instantly. Bad idea.Because the image only became clearer.The way his wet hair had fallen over his forehead. The drops of wat
