The kiss
1164 Words
Because of Alexander's intervention, Evelyn didn't dare to say much more.
However, Mr.s Smith still occasionally scanned over them, seemingly still suspicious of something.
After a hearty breakfast, Evelyn swiftly retreated to her cozy bedroom, where she meticulously gathered her textbooks and stuffed them into her trusty backpack. With a sense of purposeful urgency, she prepared to embark on her journey to the halls of knowledge, eager to absorb the day's lessons.
As soon as she opened the door, a wall of flesh blocked her path completely.
The enigmatic figure exuded an oppressive air, his piercing gaze as frigid as ice.
Suddenly, his eyes sparked with intensity, their heat searing through her.
Recognizing Alexander, she recoiled instinctively, as if evading a predatory wolf poised to strike.
Her intuition proved correct; the wolf in question was indeed obstructing her path with deliberate intent.
Alexander's tall figure slowly walked in, shut the door behind him, and locked it.
The quiet room was now left with only two sets of uneven breathing.
Thinking about the conversation that had taken place at the breakfast table, Evelyn's breathing tightened. She was terrified that someone would see Alexander always running to her bedroom!
No matter how much he asked about her homework, there was no need to lock the door!
A
t that point, no amount of explanations would suffice.
"Alexander, what exactly do you want!"
Evelyn clung to her backpack and asked helplessly, yet angrily, "Couldn't you knock before entering? You could come in only if I say it's convenient."
Alexander's eyes darkened slightly, ignoring her incessant words and walking steadily forward.
Evelyn was small, like a cute doll in front of him, making Alexander's heart warm and wanting to hold her in his arms again.
However, what happened earlier today made him realize how scared this girl was!
She was afraid of anyone finding out that their relationship had changed.
"Evelyn, from being a girl to a woman... have you forgotten the rules?" Alexander's overseeing gaze carried a warning, making her throat tighten as if someone were choking her.
Her delicate features flushed scarlet, her porcelain-white teeth gently grazing her lips as a hint of tears shimmered in her eyes, evoking a sense of tender vulnerability.
Her pink lips were pouting, seeming to still hold some dissatisfaction.
Alexander's calm eyes were completely disrupted by her cuteness; she didn't notice that the man's body was boiling with a primal desire to devour her!
"Don't mention what happened last night again!" Evelyn stubbornly reminded, gritting her teeth, "What rules do you want? I'll agree to anything as long as you keep it a secret!"
This righteous demand instantly hit the spot of Alexander's anger.
His eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't bear it anymore, wrapping his arms around her waist and forcefully pulling her into his embrace.
The backpack she had been holding was immediately thrown away by him, and its contents scattered all over the floor.
Evelyn let out a low cry, and before she could scold back, her slightly open lips were just caught by him, and he didn't hesitate to invade.
His kiss was forceful and aggressive, taking over as if he were conquering territory, making Evelyn quickly struggle for breath.
No matter how she pushed and resisted, Alexander seemed intent on punishing her, not giving her a chance to catch her breath.
It was only when she felt increasingly dizzy and her small hands fell limply that Alexander reluctantly released her.
"Girl, my name is not for you to call directly!" Alexander let her go and walked towards the door with an aura of severity.
Just thinking about her bluntly calling him by his full name made him feel as if the distance between them widened even more.
Clearly, they had already shared the closest physical intimacy, but Evelyn's attitude made Alexander very unhappy.
She had always called him "brother" before!
From last night until today, she had broken the rule and called him by his name several times.
Each time, her tone carried anger and disdain.
He would never allow this little girl to speak to him in such a tone!
Evelyn fell back onto the bed, staring at the open door. The room still lingered with his unmistakable scent.
The faint smell of cologne constantly reminded her that Alexander had taken advantage of her again just now!
She had thought he didn't even bother to acknowledge her, but now it seemed that this man was really attached to her.
Evelyn hung her head and silently picked up the scattered items, dragging her heavy steps downstairs.
As she passed by the slightly ajar study door, she caught fragments of a conversation that seemed to mention her name.
She instinctively stopped and quietly approached the study.
"Mr. Smith, I tell you, Evelyn is definitely not someone who can be easily dealt with!" came the resentful voice of Mrs. Smith, filled with great disdain for her.
Mr. Smith did not speak, but sighed lightly and said with a serious tone, "dear, it can't be like what you said! the girl has always been obedient. How could she have anything with Alexander?"
"Oh, Mr. Smith!" Mrs. Smith slapped her thigh in frustration, "Look at Alexander, he's so outstanding and perfect. Who wouldn't like him? Especially with Evelyn living here, it's like having the advantage of being close to the moon! You know she lost her parents early and has no one to rely on. She looks so pitiful! But there's no guarantee that her personality hasn't been distorted. Maybe she's been looking for an opportunity to use Alexander to gain a permanent footing in the Smith family!"
Mrs. Smith's words were bitter and harsh, making Evelyn clench her fists in anger.
When Mr. Smith remarried years ago, she had actually supported him in marrying Mrs. Smith.
She never expected this woman to speak ill of her behind her back!
What a blind mistake she had made!
"Once she's with Alexander and marries into the Smith family, she'll be the young lady of the Smith family, getting whatever she wants! I don't believe she hasn't thought about it!" Seeing that Mr. Smith didn't agree with her, Mrs. Smith continued to add fuel to the fire, her words plunging Mr. Smith into contemplation.
Although Evelyn was the daughter of his good friend and had always been obedient... she absolutely could not be with Alexander!
Mr. Smith fell silent, lost in a flood of memories and secrets that made his heart increasingly troubled.
Mrs. Smith's words were not unreasonable. Evelyn had grown up, and staying in the Smith family any longer might lead to trouble sooner or later!
"Do you have any good ideas?" Mr. Smith softened his tone and asked Mrs. Smith for advice.
"Mr. Smith, how about sending her abroad? The farther the better, to avoid her being an eyesore at home!"
Mrs. Smith whispered seductively into Mr. Smith's ear.
This suggestion caused Evelyn outside the door to shake uncontrollably.
