Chapter Twelve

Evelyn’s cell blared through the open doorway connecting the two rooms. She jumped out of Vin’s bed and ran to get her phone. She always made herself available in case a new client was calling.

Of course she couldn’t really pride herself on professionalism, considering she’d just spent the entire morning in the bed of her highest-paying client.

“Can’t you let it ring?” Vin called after her.

Ignoring him, she grabbed her cell where it had been charging on her nightstand. Unplugging it, she hit the button to turn it on.

“Hello.”

“Happy birthday, Evie.”

Evelyn sank down on the edge of her bed and smiled. “Thank you, Dylan.”

“Hope I didn’t interrupt anything.”

Evelyn smiled as she spotted Vin lounging in the doorway between their rooms, wearing nothing but a grin.

“I’m a little busy, but never too busy to get birthday wishes from my big brother.”

“Little?” Vin whispered. “Nothing little here.”

Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh as she tried to shoo him away.

“Sounds like you’re having fun,” her brother told her. “You and Vin still getting along?”

Flashes of what they’d just experienced together flooded her mind. “Getting along perfectly. I can’t wait for you to see this resort.”

“I’m sure it’ll be amazing,” he told her. “While I have you on the phone, did Alan call you about Rick’s party coming up?”

A shiver rippled through her at just his name…especially since she was sitting naked. She refused to allow any ugliness to creep into the beauty that had just transpired.

“Yes, I’ve talked to him. I’ve got the caterer covered and Rick’s assistant has the invites ready to send.”

“Alan wanted me to ask if you’d be willing to meet him at the house about an hour beforehand. I’m getting Rick out of the house and I’ll see if Vin will come with us.”

That sixteen-year-old living inside her shrank back in fear, but the woman she’d become, the woman who’d just overcome a huge hurdle only moments ago emerged and took control.

“Fine,” she told him, knowing she’d never be the victim ever again. “Anything to surprise Rick.”

She chatted a few minutes more before hanging up. When she placed the phone back on the nightstand, she sighed. Alan may think he was being slick, but she knew how he worked. How many times had he manipulated time alone for the two of them? Did he honestly think that after all this time she’d fall prey to him again? Did he truly believe that she hadn’t taken control of her life, moved past that innocent, naïve, vulnerable teen she’d been?

“You okay?”

Evelyn focused her attention back to Vin. She hadn’t even noticed he’d come to stand right beside her. His hands were fisted on his naked, narrow hips, his brows drawn together.

“Um…yeah.” She forced her eyes to stay on his face and not on his already impressive erection. “That was Dylan and… Are you just going to stand there like it’s normal to walk around like that?”

He laughed. “Well, it is normal considering you’re sitting there naked. Did Dylan say something to upset you? You got this look on your face like, I don’t know.
