CHAPTER ELEVEN

Eliza fell asleep long before Evan even closed his eyes. She was on her side next to him and he had one arm around her. She’d taken his hand and threaded her fingers between his before resting it just over her left breast. He could feel every beat of her heart.

Evan had stripped down to his boxer briefs before crawling into bed and Eliza’s skin was impossibly smooth against his. He wanted to run his hands over every inch of her body, but he knew that would only cause him to want even more of her. Evan settled for burying his face in her neck and breathing deeply. She smelled like something floral and sweet and everything good in Evan’s life. Eliza murmured contentedly in her sleep.

His head was spinning a little and he couldn’t tell if it was from the alcohol or from being so close to Eliza. She was like a drug to him, intoxicating him and making it hard for him to focus on anything else. When she had kissed him, the feeling of her lips against his had triggered something inside him. For twenty years, he’d repressed his feelings for Eliza. He’d tried to pretend that they were just old friends who saw each other every few months. He’d tried to pretend that he was okay being around her without being with her. But then she’d kissed him.

Now, Evan couldn’t ignore those feelings any longer. His body craved her. He was overwhelmed by the sensation of having her in his arms and feeling her chest rising and falling with each breath. Even with his eyes closed, he couldn’t stop seeing her as she’d looked earlier that evening in her bedroom. Naked and flawless, vulnerable and exposed. He’d wanted to throw his arms around her right then, but he’d somehow resisted the urge. Then he’d resisted that urge again when he had her pinned against the wall with his tongue in her mouth. Evan wasn’t sure if he could resist Eliza Kingston any longer.

“Ev?” she whispered in the dark.

“Yeah?” His lips were still pressed against her neck.

“What do I have to do to get you to make love to me?” Her tone was flirty, but also serious.

Evan sighed. “Sober up,” he said.

“I’m sober now,” she replied. Eliza lifted their joined hands and moved them down her body, sliding them under her shirt before pressing his hand to the area just above her pubic bone. “Touch me, Evan,” she whispered. “Please.”

Evan sucked in a sharp breath. He knew that no one had touched her there since her attack. He knew the importance of what she was asking him to do. “Are you sure?” he said.

“Yes.” She slid his hand down an inch. “Please.”

Evan wasn’t going to make her beg again for him to touch her. He moved slowly, in case she changed her mind. As his fingers slipped between her legs, she let out a small gasp of pleasure. He kissed her neck as he moved his fingers purposefully.
