Desires Die Hard

Chapter 85

Naturally, Anya sensed Evan’s arousal as well.

Shock overwhelmed the young woman. Her fingertips trembled. She wasn’t a virgin but she had only had sex that one time. Besides, she had no memory of what had happened that night.

This was her first time witnessing such a reaction from a man. Anya flushed instantly. Her cheeks burned.

She began to squirm as she struggled to escape.

Evan grabbed her and tightened his grip. She was trapped. His voice was low and husky when he spoke. “Why are you squirming? Stop struggling. Don’t make me do something I’ll regret.”

Anya froze instantly. But she couldn’t stay in his arms forever. She bit her lips. “Mr. Welton, what happened a year ago is now history. It’s been a year. I won’t make the same mistake again.”

Evan studied Anya’s face as he listened to her. It was a pretty face. He was beginning to take a liking towards that face.

His eyes darkened as he eyed Anya like a predator would its prey. “Are you sure you won’t reconsider my offer?”

“No, thank you. You have plenty of women who would throw themselves at you. They’ll come flocking as soon as you snap your fingers.” The tone of Anya’s voice was firm. She was adamant. She wouldn’t resort to being a mistress, no matter how poor she was.

This was such an insult.
