Chapter 9 Jealousy Just as Evelyn was about to close her mouth , he pressed his thumb against her teeth , and she instinctively opened her mouth again, letting Huston play with her mouth . Eventually , he had enough fun and withdrew his fingers . He grabbed a tissue to carefully wipe his fingers , and glanced at Evelyn , sitting in a confused daze . Her innocence ignited his desire . However , they just had sex in the dining room , it'd be too much for her to handle if he f * cked her again . " It's unbelievable your husband chose another woman . He probably hasn't seen you in this light before ," Huston sarcastically remarked , Perhaps Huston didn't intend to belittle her , but his words struck a chord . Embarrassed and angry , Evelyn wrapped herself in clothes and rushed out of the room . As Huston watched her disappearing figure at the doorway , a wider smile played across his eyes . Not only was she as pure as a daisy , but she was also playing hard - to - get. Evelyn headed straight to the room Huston arranged for her , locked the door , and threw herself onto the bed . The thought of what had just occurred made her feel butterflies . She hurriedly got up and rushed to the bathroom , turning on the tap to splash her face . The cold water cooled her , but only a little . When she looked at her flushed appearance in the mirror, she turned away. What made her any different from Jerry now ? Despite her intention to divorce , she hadn't followed through . By having sex with Huston , did she have ulterior motives beyond escaping her marriage ? Evelyn questioned herself internally , yet she couldn't muster the courage to face the truth . She wanted Huston's help to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her and win the lawsuit . But he wanted her body and though she wouldn't admit it , she … wanted him too . She noticed the lingering red marks on her face , less swollen now . She remembered how tenderly Huston had treated her wound in the study just now … Shaking her head vigorously , Evelyn snapped herself out of her reverie . The sound of knocking on the bedroom door interrupted her thoughts . She wiped her face clean and approached the door . Huston's displeased face greeted her as she opened it . "You locked the door ? " She pursed her lips . " I'm going to sleep . " A grin spread across his lips . " Who told you we'd be sleeping in separate beds ? " Her eyes widened , and she quickly took a glance at the king - sized bed . Huston pushed the door open and stepped inside . After closing the door , he picked her up and pressed her against the bed . " You're testing my limits . Not being a very good girl … " When their eyes met , the playful glimmer had faded from his gaze , leaving behind an incomprehensible darkness . She swallowed hard , about to come up with an excuse , when her phone on the nightstand suddenly vibrated . She breathed a sigh of relief . " L - Let me answer the phone first . " He didn't refuse her , but he didn't release her either . He grabbed the phone himself , keeping her underneath him . Upon seeing the caller ID , Huston raised an eyebrow . He answered the call and placed the phone next to Evelyn's ear . " Evelyn ! Where the hell are you ?! You think you can just disappear for days ?! You even took your IDs ! " Jerry's irritable voice echoed from the other end . The color drained from her face , " Why are you calling ? I don't have time for your nonsense ." " You've forgotten who you are , huh ? We are still married , so you're still my legal wife ! " His tone was full of disgust , " And if I want to f * ck you , you can't say no ! " Suppressing the bitterness in her heart , Evelyn responded calmly , " I'd rather have f * ck a dog than you . " Before Jerry could say anything , Huston pinched her hard . She bit back a yelp , then looked up and at his displeased gaze . Jerry recognized her little scream just now all too well . And it was late at night ! He was agitated now . " Damn it ! Are you fooling around with other men ? Where are you ?! " " It's none of your business. And the only way I'll go back is if you sign the divorce papers ." He continued to curse on the other line , but Evelyn hung up . Though she had feigned toughness and indifference , she couldn't help but feel the sorrow deep down inside . After all , she had loved that man for so many years . Letting go wasn't easy . Huston looked at all the emotions dancing in her eyes , and slid his hand underneath her shirt , making her jump . " W - Wait ! " she gasped . " I- I don't- ! " His pupils were blown back , almost completely dark . " You might say you don't want it . But I don't see you pushing me away … Evelyn put her hands against his chest , but she felt his hard muscle under her palms … and she didn't push away . Her breathing quickened , and she rubbed her thighs together involuntarily . Huston chuckled darkly . " When are you finally going to be honest with yourself ? " he asked huskily , his hot breath against her ear . " Just admit that you want this . That you want me … " Her face heated , with anger , with embarrassment , and she couldn't deny … with desire . " You … " she started , then growled in frustration . " God , I hate you ! " He laughed again . " Maybe , but this … " He slid one hand down and pressed a finger against her damp panties , making her whimper . " … tells me otherwise ." She turned away , shameful tears stinging in her eyes . But he lifted her chin , forcing her to look into his eyes . " Don't … " he said softly , more tender than before . " Don't fight me … " His face was inches from hers . Her eyes flit between his eyes and his plush lips . Just a few inches more , and she could kiss him … " Evelyn , " he groaned . " Give yourself to me … "
