Alistair's POV

"Mmm", I smirked. "You definitely like what you see" she blushed and turned away. I turned her to face me, her breath fanning my face. Did I just make her blush?

Suddenly, she leveled her height with me unexpectedly. Her forehead touched mine, and I could feel her breathing. She bit her lower lip and curled her hands around my neck pulling me closer to her, intimately of course.

I gasped for air. My hands were hanging loose on either side of my thighs. I fixed my gaze on her beautiful face, precisely her deep eyes. I was blown by the beauty her face beheld and trust me when I say beauty... it means more than just facial features. She smiled slightly looking at me, and I did the same. This moment felt like everything, and I so wished that it could stop.

I stroked her cheek with my thumb smoothly. Her cheeks felt like cotton, and I so wanted to have this cotton in between my lips. The charm on her face was ethereal, and it was alluring me towards it in an enchanting way. It felt like I was magnetically attracted to her. She blinked her eyes but kept her focus on me.

Every lie I told her made me feel guilty every consequent minute. I was trapped in my own lies. To be honest, I was taking advantage of her innocence, and it killed me from within. Sometimes I wondered how would she react when she comes to know about the truth? Will she ever accept me? I was pretty sure about confronting her with my real name once I figure things out with my father.

I did decide to confront her about the truth earlier, but every time I tried, the story took a completely different turn and thus got more complicated. I couldn't deny the fact that I was falling for slowly, and this fall came with strings attached.

"Evelyn...I-uh"

"Shush", she placed her finger on my lips interrupting the words which were about to escape my mouth. My eyes widened, in shock, in excitement. My heart almost plummeted on the floor but then regained back its original position.

I thought for a while, stayed still, and then said the line I always say "You don't have to" I tightened my lip as she moved her fingers away from them.

"I want to"

"Okay, then Hazel Grace?" I questioned.

"Okay", she smiled cheerfully as she leaned closer to kiss me. Her hands massaging the back of my head, and her lips doing rounds with mine! I kissed her back, slowly at first, but then rushed my lips into her mouth aggressively. I waited for our tongues to collide in unison. I could feel her lips, her taste, and most importantly her.

At first, I didn't want to make out but now I didn't want to stop. I wanted to have her, all of her. I sucked her lower lip and the tip of her tongue before progressing towards the other important areas. I intertwined my fingers with hers erasing every space in between them. I changed my position with Evelyn and pressed her back against the wall.

She gasped, but then softly moaned when I pressed my lips on her neck gently biting it. I advanced towards her collar bone, her neck, and the top of her cleavage. I deepened the sensuousness when I kissed her on her lips again as I started unbuttoning the hooks of her dress from behind. She, without breaking our kiss, rested both her hands on my torso. She waited for a while and then unbuttoned my shirt slowly, and when she finished doing it, she quickly yanked it away from my body.

I've had sex with Evelyn earlier, but never once did she make any move. It was me and only me. She never even showed that she was interested to unite with me, even for once. This time, it felt like she was opening up to me. She pecked me softly on my lips one last time and interchanged my position with hers.

After picking her up in my arms, I gently placed her on the bed. I straightened her hand and crawled on her carefully. I planted a small kiss on her forehead before unbuckling her lacy bra. She moaned softly while I did so. As soon as there was no clothing on her upper body, I couldn't deny the sensation my nerves experienced, so I quickly cupped her breasts and gave it a gentle squeeze. She moaned pleasurably.

I smiled before clasping them in between my lips. She was sweet by face but her body was sweeter. I, trailing small kisses from her stomach to her lower intimate area, tried yanking away the lacy obstruction panty as well, but couldn't.

My lies didn't allow me to. I was cheating her and there was no denial in this. I quickly gained my original position and gave her a small peck on my lips. I rested my back on the bed next to her and gave her a warming smile. My conscience didn't approve of the idea of us uniting. If only there were any fewer complications.

"Just do it, Al", the negativity within me tried encouraging me in the name of lust.

"No, don't do it. If you still have a positive side then listen to me", the positivity within me tried controlling me. Damn, I was so lost. Lost in lust!

"Yeah, I won't" I spoke out loud, but to my discontent sounded like a complete fool in front of Evelyn.

"Did you say something?" she questioned, as she sided in my position whilst facing me.

"No-uh" I stammered turning away.

"Did I do something wrong?" How can someone be so innocent? I was lying to her, and basically, I was the villain, but she had a feeling of doing something wrong.

"You..." I cocked my right brow "Obviously not Leaf" cupped her cheeks and pulled her face close to mine "It's just that something clicked in my head at the moment. Something which can't be ignored! I need to get things sorted. I'll get back to you at night" I parted myself away from her, collected my shirt from the floor, and draped it across my body instinctively.

I sprinted outside the door and rushed towards the parking area. After reaching my car, I drove as fast as I could towards my mansion. When at once I reached, I threw the key towards the watchman and handed him my car. I wasn't really in a position to do anything at the moment. My mind kept revolving around my lies. Too bad I was surrounded by it.

It was evening by the time, so I didn't expect anyone in the hallway. But to my surprise, my whole family was having their evening snacks at the dining table, and there was an addition to the number of members, along with Christine sat his boyfriend, Charles. It was really difficult for me to digest the fact that Christine opened up about Charles to my dad, who was one hell of a snob.

I strolled towards them, throwing daggers at the newly formed couple. As soon as I was about to shake hands with Charles, I almost flinched when I felt an aggressive tap on my feet. Christine faked a smile looking at me. I knew what it meant. It clearly meant for me to shut the fuck up. Now I know why people believe in the proverb Overprotective parents raise the best liars.

I breathed in after comforting myself on one of the chairs. I tried avoiding any eye contact with my father. "So, the prince is home", think of the devil and it speaks.

"Indeed!" I tried my best not to be sarcastic. "Yeah, dad, I'm glad that you're home too. It's so good to sit together and eat", I covered up for my sarcastic tone.

"My baby looks so thin. Did you even eat?" My mom filled my plate with snacks. I had to literally pull it back so as to stop her from overfeeding me. A mother's love is incomparable, it truly is.

"Mom, you're acting like I've been out for a month", I filled my spoon with some pasta and stuffed it in my mouth. The delicious taste of sauces dissolved in my mouth, and for a moment, I forgot about the difficulties I was facing.

"So, how long have you been out?" Dad questioned popping out his right eyebrow.

"Stop it, Ashton. My son just came back and you already started interrogating him like he's some criminal", Mom frowned looking in dad's direction.

"Fine for now, but Alistair I need to have a word with you, so after you finish having lunch, freshen up and meet me in my study room", dad wiped his face with the napkin and exited the dining room. When he was nowhere around, I took charge of my plate and sat on the empty chair next to Christine.

Charles reluctantly stopped eating. That's good, people fear me. "So, what's your version of the story?" I questioned straightforwardly.

Christine chuckled as she gulped the whole of her orange juice in one sip. "Charles is just a friend who is helping me with a project. Right, baby?" she leaned towards him and gave him a peck on his cheek.

"Oh. Friend" I raised my brow and smirked. "Good thing, and good luck with that", I refocused my attention towards food. Christine did lie, but at least there was transparency in between the partners, and that's what matters the most. A small lie to dad wasn't much of an issue in her condition.

"No doubt if in future my husband divorces me then I know which two kids to blame", mom coughed making us realize her presence.

I winked looking at mom "Not gonna happen", I grinned and mom did the same. She, within a while, left the place and left us alone with the servants. Charles was a keen observer. I could say that from the way he looked at every minute detail of the furniture. I could tell by his face that he was allured enough but whenever he caught me looking at him, he reluctantly turned his gaze towards food.

Charles belonged to a middle-class family, and it was no wonder why he was amazed. I just didn't want him to use Christine for the sake of money. My sister had a fragile heart, and I was ready to protect it at any cost, regardless I had to beat that guy to death if he did something wrong.

"Well, excuse me", I wiped my mouth and walked towards my room. I knew Christine and Charles were eyeing me from behind. Maybe they wanted to make out a little, so I gave them some privacy.

The moment I reached my room, I gathered my towel and rushed inside the bathroom for a quick shower. Showers have always resulted in reducing a certain amount of my stress. As soon as I wrapped the towel around my abdomen after drying up, I exited the bathroom.

But I was shocked to find Charles in my room. He sneaked in slowly but took a step back when he realized that he had been caught red-handed. "And what have I done to be blessed with your presence?" I cock a brow and question sarcastically.

"I was um" he coughed and continued "Um-I was um looking for a washroom since it would have been very inappropriate to use Christine's washroom. So... if you don't mind" he took a step forward towards my bathroom. It felt like his mouth didn't attest to his body language.

"Sure" I shrugged and laid my back on the bed.

"Thanks, Al. Love you brother" Christine opened the door without knocking. I quickly straightened the towel and covered my intimate areas.

"Where thy manners....?" I uplifted myself and sat whilst crossed legs.

"Yeah, thanks a lot man", Charles clenched his fist and propelled it in my direction. I gave it a quick knock hoping that he did wash his hands.

"Oh, and I forgot to say to you that dad wants to meet you right now. I don't know what mess you're into, but all the best", Christine shrugged.
