The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 40

Evelyn knew that by responding that way, she had in a way justified Derek's reason for tricking her into coming

on the trip with her.

"You see? Why can't you open your heart to mir, Eve? As much as | want to have sex with you because sex

between us was great and it's an experience I've been craving to have again, | really do care about you. Deeply

even, Derek said, and butterflies fluttered in Evelyn's belly.

His words conjured the memories of their night together coupled with the picture of his bare body which she had

been struggling to keep away. Not wanting him to see how much his words were affecting her, she took a sip and

said, "That was a one-tthing, Derek. Nothing is going happen between us. Nothing can or should happen. I'm

only here to do my job, and after that, | intend to disappear from your life" "Are you sure about that, Eve! Derek

asked and Evelyn frowned.

"Sure about what?"

"Can you look into my

eyes and tellthat you don't wish to haveagain? Derek asked as he set down his wineglass and rose.

Evelyn watched him, her heartbeat increasing as he walked around the table to her and sat beside her.

"Do you not wish to feel my hands on you? To havepleasure you again?" He asked as he took her hand and

raised it to his lips.

Evelyn swallowed, unable to withdraw her hands or look away from his intense gaze which held her spellbound.

Everything he was saying was true. She wanted him so badly and even now, the only thing in her head was to

trace her fingers down his chest, connecting every muscle and having him pleasure her like he had done six

years ago.

"Deny it. Eve." Derek said as he kissed her palm and then her wrist where her pulse throbbed. "Tellyou don't

wantas much as | want you and I'll stop," he said as he inched his face closer to hers. he dared her, his voice

husky as he kissed up her arm.

"Tellyou haven't ever dreamt of this moment once in the last six years," he

Evelyn opened her mouth to say 'No' but as though her lips had their own volition, what she said was, "Yes, |

want you, right now.

"Then lethave you, Eve. Give yourself to me. Letmake love to you and touch you in ways no man has

ever touched you or will ever touch you. | want another taste of all that passion you have buried deep, Derek

said as he leaned closer to her.

In her head, she knew that this was a bad idea and she should stop, but her body had a mind of its own and was

determined to betray her. So, instead of pushing him away, she found herself closing the gap between them until

both their lips connected.

Abandoning logic,, she kissed Derek passionately as he devoured her lips with his, and his hands caressed her.

His hands moved over her body with a deliberate tenderness, sending electric sparks coursing through her veins.

She could feel his heart pounding against her own, and the intensity of his desire only fueled her own

Their kisses grew more fervent, more urgent, as Derek's hands found the hem of her dress and slowly inched it

upward. Evelyn's breath hitched when his fingers brushed against her bare skin, and she arched into his touch,

wanting more.

Derek's lips trailed from her mouth to her neck, leaving a scorching path that made her tremble. She threaded

her fingers through his hair, pulling him closer, losing herself in the heat of the moment.

She would worry about everything else tomorrow. She would blthis recklessness on the wine if she had to,

but for now, just for tonight, she

needed this.

"lI want you now, Derek," Evelyn cried when his fingers brushed her nipple, and desperate to have a feel of his

body, she tore his robe off his body. Taking that as his cue, Derek u unleashed his desires on her, eager to make

the night even more pleasurable than their first ttogether.

The next morning, Evelyn woke up cradled in Derek's arms. She could feel the warmth of his body and hear his

heartbeat because her head was resting on his chest.

For a brief moment, she allowed herself to savor the feeling of being held in his arms. It had been so long since

she felt the arms of anyone wrapped around her this way, and she admitted to herself that it felt really nice.

The nice feeling however didn't last for long, as the reality of their situation quickly set in, stirring a lot of

emotions within her.

Shame, anxiety, and guilt. Shfor recklessly giving in to her desires and acting so wantonly despite all she

had said about never falling for him.

Anxiety because now Derek was not going to give up on his pursuit of her, and that might inevitably cause him

to learn about Samantha

Guilt because she knew how Derek felt about her, yet she was keeping vital secrets from him about her

relationship with his cousin and their

She sighed inwardly, telling herself that she was probably overthinking the situation. She was just going to get

up and act like sex with him wasn't a big deal.
