“So the tracking device in my necklace only tells you where I am? You can’t hear Huntley insulting or dragging me to his office?”

Evan’s jaw works as he glares down at me. “No, but I sure as fuck am angry you didn’t tell me sooner.”

My palms press against his chest, sliding around his neck. “I was afraid you’d get fired and kicked out of the university if I told you.”

He wraps his arms around me, pulling me against him. “Neither will happen, bellissima. Stop trying to protect me. My job is to protect you.” His lips are on mine, erasing all doubts. “I’ll always protect what’s mine.” He kisses me again before pulling back with a smirk. “But Dwayne’s gonna get it.”

I roll my eyes. “Dwayne’s innocent. He didn’t do anything to you.”

“He exists. You named him.” Evan lifts one shoulder in a shrug. “He needs to meet a fiery demise. Don’t worry. I’ll buy you more, but don’t name them unless you want me to destroy them.” He levels me with a look. “And you only use your toys with me.”

I raise my brows. “You’re ridiculously controlling.”

He chuckles. “You already knew that. And it’s not a loss. When you used Dwayne, you didn’t shatter around that asshole like you did when I used it on you.”

I can’t help the laugh that bursts free. “Oh, now he’s an asshole.”

“Yup. Cause he has a name.” He kisses me before pulling away and dumping some shampoo in his hand. When he massages my scalp with it, I no longer care about saving poor Dwayne.

“I love taking care of you,” he whispers.

“It’s been so long since anyone has.” I practically purr as I lean into his touch, my body limp and under his control. “Sometimes you are so damn sweet. It’s almost like you’re two people.”

He chuckles. “You get to see the real me now. You’ll still see the persona I wear around others.” He puts a sudsy finger on my nose, making me giggle. “I’m very careful who I reveal my authentic self to. It can be dangerous.”

He spins me and begins rinsing my hair. I sigh, enjoying the warm water trailing over my skin.

When he pulls me from beneath it and grabs the conditioner, I run my fingers over his chest. “You know I’m not gonna hurt you, right?”

The genuine grin on his face melts my heart. “I know. I trust you.”

Cocking my head, a flirtatious smile curls my lips. “You know I’m still gonna give you attitude and piss you off.”

“You wouldn’t be Lexi if you didn’t.” He massages the conditioner into my scalp and down the length of my hair.“And I’ll enjoy punishing the hell out of you.”

“Have I told you that I love you?”

His charcoal eyes burn into mine. “You have. But you can tell me all day, and I’ll never tire of it.” Spinning me around, his lips meet mine in the most passionate kiss he’s ever given me.

When he pulls away, his gaze burns into mine. “I love you so fucking much, Lexi. And I’m going to show and tell you every single day.”

CHAPTER 54

Alexis

Evan’s magical touch in the shower was like a truth serum, and before I knew it, I’d purged everything Huntley had said and done to me.

Evan nearly exploded when I told him what happened in Huntley’s office. “That’s bullshit. He’s giving you shitty grades to coerce you to his office.”

My brows raise as he wraps a fluffy dark purple towel around me. “The irony, huh?”

He smirks. “But only one of us is your enemy. The other is the man who loves and owns you.”

My hand reaches out, wrapping around his hard cock. “Why don’t you show me how much you love me.”

“Lexi,” Evan growls, closing his eyes.

“Yes.” I stroke him from base to tip as he mutters curses.
