24. Adam

“Oh, I…” I don a forced smile, withdrawing a step from Eva. “It’d be kind of you, but I’ve got to run. I have a little appointment to meet with someone soon.”

“Alright, then. Whenever you’re free. I’ll be waiting,” she says. A somewhat crestfallen look dawns in her narrowed eyes. She slides into an old armchair and crosses her legs like a Viking queen on a throne of glass.

“I will,” I lie. And as I creep out the door, I’m tempted to look over my shoulder and watch my back.

Despite my plea for her to stay, I’m afraid it might be better for me and perhaps for her if she leaves.

God, I hate myself. My legs swing swift to my bedroom where I lock the door behind me. My back flattens on the door panel, my face buries in my palms and my study desk remains toppled on the floor at my feet.

Damn! What am I going to do?

When Lisa set out to find me a tenant, I never imagined in half a lifetime that it’d be a lady, much less Eva Garfield of all girls whom I thought would be rotting in jail.

And if I’d known ahead of time, I'd have turned her down before the deal was settled. Now the deal’s settled. Dialing Lisa, asking she refunds the rent so that I can let Eva go won’t delight her in the slightest.

Like me, she wallows in debt. She was in desperate need of the cash when we last met. How fair would it be, asking she returns the sum?

It’s done.

I sigh, drifting away from the door, I undress and head for the bathroom. For the next six months at least, I guess I’m stuck on this farm with Delilah. She’s beautiful, she’s seductive, she’s fearless, and she’s dangerous.

But what I fear the most is that deep down there’s a little piece of me still drawn to her, unable to resist her.

It’s a part of me that I thought extinct and buried for the past seven years. The seven years since my fall from grace at ULLT. Seven years since I let myself be lured by her luscious kiss.

Her kiss of death! I had dreams, I had the perfect future ahead of me. Then one delicious kiss. One single moment of utter bliss and infinite pleasure with Eva cost me everything.

In the bathroom, I open my shirt and stare at her vicious cuts and slashes across my chest.

I’ve passed the last seven years trying to set things right, trying to get things back on track like the old days before I ever bit the forbidden fruit. But she’s back again to wreck me like last time.

My hands wander to my toothbrush and paste. It’s just a Sunday morning, I have no real plans on Sundays other than to sit on my study desk and revise my notes.

This Sunday however, I think I’d rather be anywhere but this farm.

I dip in and out of the shower, slip into a fresh set of clothes, comb my hair backwards and slink out of the front door like a thief.
