Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan)
Chapter 85

Chapter 85

Naturally, Anya sensed Evan's arousal as well.

Shock overwhelmed the young woman. Her fingertips trembled. She wasn't a virgin but she had only had sex that one time. Besides, she had no memory of what had happened that night.

This was her first time witnessing such a reaction from a man. Anya flushed instantly. Her cheeks burned. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She began to squirm as she struggled to escape.

Evan grabbed her and tightened his grip. She was trapped. His voice was low and husky when he spoke. “Why are you squirming? Stop struggling. Don’t make me do something I'll regret.”

Anya froze instantly. But she couldn't stay in his arms forever. She bit her lips. “Mr. Welton, what happened a year ago is now history. It's been a year. I won't make the same mistake again.”

Evan studied Anya's face as he listened to her. It was a pretty face. He was beginning to take a liking towards that face.

His eyes darkened as he eyed Anya like a predator would its prey. “Are you sure you won't reconsider my offer?”

“No, thank you. You have plenty of women who would throw themselves at you. They'll come flocking as soon as you snap your fingers.” The tone of Anya’s voice was firm. She was adamant. She wouldn't resort to being a mistress, no matter how poor she was.

This was such an insult.

She was a mother. She had Nathaniel and Eudora to think of. She had to make sure they could look up to her as their role

model.

Be it working hard to earn a living or exacting her revenge on the MacMillans, she swore she would rely on her own efforts to accomplish both aims. She would never put herself up for sale to achieve those goals.

“I'll give you a few days to reconsider your decision.” Evan rarely desired a woman.

This particular one might have set him up in the past but he was willing to let bygones be bygones. “Mr. Welton, I won't change my mind. I will never agree to your offer.” Anya didn't understand why Evan seemed so insistent on having her as his mistress

There were plenty of women in Nordeny. Every one of them would be willing to be his lover.

Why was he so fixated on making Anya his lover?

“You should think about it.” Evan was used to having his way. He wasn't going to take “no’ for an answer. His voice sounded low and husky as he persuaded Anya to reconsider his offer. “You'll get two hundred grand every month. That's a great offer. You can't possibly refuse it.”

Anya found herself at an utter loss for words. The man honestly thought she would sell herself if the price was right.

Chapter 85

She was completely speechless.

She had been such an idiot. How could she have fallen in love with him in the first place?

What a fool she had been.

Whatever fantasy Anya had once harbored of Evan was torn into shreds.

She would rather kill herself than be his lover!

“I'm not going to think about it.” Somehow, the young woman managed to summon a sudden boost of strength and pushed his arms away from her. She got up and took a few cautious steps away from Evan. Her eyes were bright with anger.

This was the first time Evan had seen Anya so mad.

It didn’t upset him at all. All it did was make him want her more.

“I always get what I want. Every time,” Evan said slowly.

Anya jerked back in shock. Was the man insane? “Mr. Welton, you're not in love with me. Why do you insist on signing the contract with me?”

Evan raised an eyebrow. “It's just sex. What's that got to do with love?”

Realization dawned on Anya then. He was looking for a good time in bed. He wasn’t looking for a girlfriend or a partner.

Well, he got the wrong person.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Welton, but I'm not interested in casual relationships.” Anya took a deep breath and stuck her chin proudly in the air. For the first time in her life, she wasn't worried about upsetting Evan or incurring his wrath. Her rejection was blunt

and final.

The young woman turned on her heel and marched out of the room.

He could get Jake to fire her. She didn’t care anymore. She could always look for another job. Honestly, she would like to keep her job at JK Couture. But there was a line that shouldn't be crossed

She would stick by her principles even if they got her kicked out of the company.

Evan stared at the shut door for a long time after Anya had left. His eyes glinted darkly. Anya MacMillan. What an Interesting woman.
