Evangeline met Finn's captivating gaze and saw the desire simmering in his eyes. She paused, a slow smile spreading across her face. Her fingers hooked his tie, and she gave it a gentle tug.
Finn leaned forward, following her lead, and braced his hands on the desk behind her. They were only inches apart, so close he could smell the fresh scent of her body wash.
"No problem," she said, her voice a low murmur.
Finn's breath caught in his throat as he looked at her face—sun-kissed but still exquisitely beautiful—and her long, dark lashes fluttering. His heart skipped a beat.
"So confident? What if my fee is more than you can afford?" he asked, his own voice growing thick.
Evangeline's smile widened, and she shook her head. "I'm not worried."
"I trust that the man I love, who loves me back, would never make things difficult for me."
A low chuckle rumbled in Finn's chest.
"No, I won't."
With that, he lowered his head to kiss her, simultaneously scooping her up into his arms and striding out of the office.
As they drove away, neither of them noticed the small, blinking red light of a camera lens from a parked car down the street.
Back at the Fawkes Family Estate, Soren stared at the photos his bodyguard had just sent. Evangeline and Finn, holding hands, smiling blissfully as they got into a car. The already cold look in his eyes turned to ice.
That familiar, suffocating tightness returned to his chest. His breathing grew shallow, and a wave of intense irritation washed over him.
