Bewitched His Soul - Chapter 144

As both stared at each other , the atmosphere become tense. Only now did they realize they were so close to one other, as if they could hear  the other’s heartbeat.

Daniel always felt Evelyn was too prim and proper , dressed up from head to toe made her seem glamorous and alluring .

As she tried to be too perfect she hid her true self making her unattainable and separating her from everyone.

He somehow felt her charm was lost but here today in his arms he felt like he was witnessing a different side of her. Her hair was tangled and wet , her face bare of any makeup and even some dirt was there on her forehead , her dress looked wrinkled and old .

Especially those eyes of hers which was either cold or flirtatious was now tranquil and full of life .It’s like she was fully showing her emotions not at all being aware of the opposite party.

The expression on her face was relaxed and peaceful, unlike the other times she was always conscious because don’t know when the camera’s may flash.

A drop of water fell from her eyebrow to her cheek, Daniel could not stop from raising his hand.

As his thumb traced her cheek , Evelyn’s mouth parted .How can a simple touch send shivers all over her body.

When she observed Daniel’s facial features from so closely she felt he was very handsome .His sharp jawline ,thin lips and gray eyes were looking at her as if no one else mattered but her .His hair was wet and strands of hair was falling of his forehead giving him playful look.

Daniel felt her skin was so soft and was pleased with himself that he can evoke such a reaction from her .Evelyn pressed her hands on his chest and moved closer such that her entire body was pressing onto him. Daniel hated even  a tiny bit of contact with a female but here having Evelyn all over him he did not feel disgusted instead he felt his body becoming hot.

He put his hand on back on her neck and pulled her closer such that his lips were almost touching hers.

Evelyn trembled by his close proximity , she wanted his lips on hers. She even closed her eyes hoping he will kiss her soon and they can kill this sexual tension between them.

Few seconds passed but nothing happened and when she opened her eyes Daniel has moved back and even his hands were not touching her.

Evelyn was confused by his sudden change of behavior she was sure he was also attached to her so how can he have such  a strong self-control to back out at such a intimate moment.

“Let’s go back ,”Daniel turned around and this time there was no emotions in his tone .It felt as if the past few minutes were nothing but  her imagination.

Evelyn was still when Daniel asked her ,”Do you need help.”

She shook her head and started to swim towards the shore .Was he messing with her knowing how they hated each other’s guts , was it all a ploy to distract her. How can she be such a fool to fall into his trap, will he be laughing at her seeing how she could not ignore his charm.

Evelyn was kind of irritated how easily she forgot everything and let him played her. Even though she does not want to admit the truth she liked having his arms wrapped around her waist as she felt safe and secure  .His touch gave her tingling sensation all over her body and she felt special when she had his undivided attention as Daniel never spared anyone a second glance .

He was a self-centered individual who thought no one is his equal and when he looked at her with tenderness and curiosity she become greedy wanting more.

When Daniel pulled back and  went to his normal self she felt she was naïve to let him  manipulate  and mess with her thoughts.

After reaching the shore Evelyn was trying to dry herself and squeezing the water from her clothes. Daniel was staring at her and when her gaze followed his she noticed her dress has become little transparent.

“Hey ,stop checking me out .Turn around ,”Evelyn screamed.

Daniel did not try to defend himself and turned around.

Evelyn was checking over her shoulder whether he was peeking or not.

“Don’t turn till I say , okay ,”Evelyn stated.

“Trust me , I have no other intention ,”Daniel replied .

“Who knows you may get horny and do something ,”Evelyn covered her chest.

“Even if I am ,I prefer to manage by  myself than asking for your help ,”Daniel stated.

“You …are so shameless ,”Evelyn stammered.

She blushed hearing his crude comment and her neck turned slightly red. Daniel was saying that he would rather use his hands to let out his pent up desire than try to touch her.

“Did I say not to turn back , this is why I can’t trust you ,”Evelyn growled seeing he was looking at her.

“I was just checking on you , you were taking so long ,”Daniel replied.

“Lair , stop giving excuses ,”Evelyn yelled and this time Daniel walked a little bit further and stood at a corner so that he would not give her any chance to complain.

He was not even sure what he was thinking when he was about to kiss Evelyn in the lake as she closed her eyes it was a wakeup call for him. Daniel quickly realized how he was taking advantage of Evelyn, She never liked him and now she was willing to kiss him which may be because of the close proximity, hormones or this lonely environment.

He did not want her to regret it later and blame him so decided to back out even though it look every ounce of his self-control. He was never the type of person to lay hands on a woman when he was not ready to take the responsibility.

May be being alone in this wild place was messing their emotions and someone has to be mature enough to decide what’s right and what’s not.. If Evelyn cannot be that person then he will gladly be the one.
