Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 104: The Scary Don- IV

If this was supposed to be romantic, Evelyn did not want any kind of romance from the don.

He leaned back to stand straight and the feeling of his lips left her forehead. It was more of a lingering touch. She could still feel them on her forehead.

"It was not very romantic." Evelyn muttered not feeling afraid enough not to do it.

He squeezed her waist making her squirm in his grip. "That is a romantic gesture from my side. However, I can assure you that I will improve. Would you like roses sent to you tomorrow?"

She chuckled that, unable to control it. " Chocolates would do." She said instead and before placing a hand on his well toned chest. Even through his shirt Evelyn could feel the well-defined muscles. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Focus.

"I think I should go to bed now." She whispered softly. "You should do it. You have a working day tomorrow."

"Hmm," Salvatore hummed and his chest vibrated under her hand before he pulled her close to his chest. "Difficult to sleep when I know you are sleeping next door."

Evelyn blushed harder.

"Do you know when we were sleeping at Lucas’s, you would actually try to climb on top of me?"

Evelyn’s eyes snapped to him. She found mirth there which made it difficult for her to believe if it was true or not. "What?" She hissed. "I did no such thing!"

He chuckled before giving a soft laugh. " I don’t understand what you found while coming closer. It was like you were trying to snuggle all the way into me."

No, she was not. That had to be the biggest lie she had heard.

She cleared her throat forcefully and loudly before trying to pull away from him. "I would like to go to bed." She announced for his ears but it did not seem like the don had because his arms still remained on her waist.

So Evelyn had to continue by saying, "which means you have to take your hands off my waist so that I can leave."

"Can you though?" He tilted his head but the action did not make it better for Evelyn. If anything she remembered that that was the action he did before walking into the office with her family members.

Her smile faltered as the fear appeared on her face. Now she was afraid. But how was she afraid when all he did was tilt his head?

But it was not just that, it was also the finger and the hand that was lying on the floor not even two feet away from her that made her legs feel paralyzed and frozen as if she moved she would touch it.

It was the fear in her heart.

"Evelyn," Salvatore touched her chin tenderly before raising it to his eyes, "what is it?"

"Nothing." She whispered instantly. Perhaps it was too soon because Don narrowed his eyes immediately.

"Is it?" He asked. "Is it nothing?"

She nodded. "Yeah, So you mind if I go to bed now?"

He gave her a nod. "I would like for you to keep your lunch free. I’ll take you out tomorrow."

She gave him a nod and Salvatore let her go but not before placing a kiss on her cheek. After that, could Evelyn leave the office and just as she took a step outside of the office and closed the door she heaved a sigh of relief.

She gulped when her eyes met the floor and she closed her eyes on the impact.

She could not bear to look at the floor without thinking of the cut hand and finger. Evelyn did not want to wait in front of his office door anymore so she moved inside her room and locked the door shut.

He killed someone.

How much had her cousin played when Salvatore cut his hand off? Is that why Salvatore had said to tend to her family members?

Even if everyone had expected to date the dawn and she knew the dark side of this was something she had never imagined. She had never imagined being on the receiving end even if it was just watching a cut hand and fingers. Her father had kept away and she had hoped to be away from it all.

Shit, she fell face forward on the bed. How if she thought about it did she even want to be here?

She groaned loudly. Whatever happened tonight was messing with her head badly.

Evelyn raised herself on her elbows before grabbing her phone. She opened the dial pad but then realised that she had no one to call. Every friend was an acquaintance of her father which meant that they were not really friends but someone that her father did business with.

She was alone and the realisation could not have come at a worse time than this.

"Fuck," she cursed lightly.

She turned her head around to look at the door. Comfort meant to be taken from someone who could provide it.

At the moment there was only one person that could provide her with the comfort that she wanted and that was also the very person who had cut the limbs of her relatives who had once abused Evelyn.

It was a gamble that she was ready to take. She did not want to be lonely at the moment.

Evelyn let her lips before getting up and wearing her slippers once again. She opened the door only to come face to face with Salvatore who was entering his room.

She gulped before speaking out the words very slowly. "Can I... cuddle with you?" The world’s first spoken source slowly said that she almost wished that he did not hear and she could get the benefit of doubt by rearranging the words.

But of course the don would not give her that chance. He opened the door wider and motioned for her to enter.

"Come on in," he said before tilting his head, gesturing her head to come in.
