Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 264: A little messy - III

It had been a week of secretive meetings, breakfast and tennis with the family and of course, barely sleeping with Salvatore.

By the time she would wake up, he would either go on for the day or when she would go to sleep, he would come late at night. Either way, she was barely getting to spend any time with him.

That was also resulting in making her a tiny bit cranky. From spending every night together, in each other’s arms they had gone to barely sleeping together as he would slip in and out of bed without her knowledge ending up in her waking up alone.

Should she tell him that?

But he was working and to complain would really not be nice. The man was as it is doing everything he could to keep their family safe and the least she could do was be appreciative about it.

It was almost one in the morning and everybody in the house was asleep except for the guards that were continuing the patrol as ordered by the boss.

Evelyn, on the other hand, stayed awake by reading a book just so she could go to bed this time with Salvatore who, still had been a no show.

When was he going to come?

She focused on her book, and when her last sentence of the page was finished, she turned the page only to jump on the door clicked open.

The silence made it seem scary she was the only one awake but when she looked over, she found Salvatore staring at her.

"Hey," She closed the book and put it on the seat over before swinging her legs on the floor while standing up. "When did you arrive?"

"Just now," he said. He was still staring at her from the door for you and she was still standing near the couch that she had been previously sitting on.

She did not take a step forward, rather just kept on staring at him, waiting for him to call her like he did by rolling his two fingers into his direction. The same to fingers that he would call her with and then make her come with.

Somehow, even when they were doing nothing but staring at each other, she felt the tension crackle in the room. What it was for, she did not know but it stressed her out because the more they stayed at each other, the thicker it got.

Evelyn took a step forward—

"I’m going to take a bath."

He pushed himself of the door frame, and without looking at her and went straight to the bathroom but did not close the door.

He did not close the door, she gulped. Was it some kind of invitation?

Was he giving her permission to enter the bathroom while he was using it? Would it be nice to interrupt his privacy without seeking a yes?

Closing her eyes and debating about it for some more time, she ended up deciding to go inside.

Slowly, she made her way towards the door and peed inside just to be sure that he was permitting her.

Evelyn found him in a steamy shower room that was in the corner of the bathroom. He did not bother closing the door to the shower as well and the steam was creating humidity in the bathroom making harsh skin precipitate.

If not for the steam then it was definitely precipitating for the man who she saw naked in the shower.

That’s when she started to ogle him by looking at his body up and down only for her eyes to narrow and the Crimson colour water going down the drain. That was blood and that was being washed off Salvatore.

"Y-you," she took a step towards him before realising that she needed something for the ones. So she changed her way to the cabinet below the sink.

"it’s not mine, Evelyn."

Oh.

Ohh..

"Come here."

Sweat trickled down the valley of her breasts just as she started to take steps closer towards him. When she was near the man she called husband, he pulled her in and turned his back to the shower.

Such closeness drove her crazy and he obviously knew about it.

"I deliberately chose this time because I knew everyone would be asleep, why wouldn’t you?"

She blinked. "I waited for you, Salvatore. We were barely spending time together so I thought of going to bed with you."

He stared at her. Maybe he was trying to stare into her soul instead. Those intense grey eyes that he inherited for his father definitely could do a number on anyone. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"This is Me, Evelyn." He said, holding her by her shoulders. "you do realise what it means with all that blood draining down the drain?"

"The meaning of what I have done tonight?"

She nodded.

The blood that was coming from his clothes and his body meant that he had killed people. She was aware of that. She had even seen her father come home like this but instead of standing in front of him like she did in front of Salvatore, she was hiding in the corner so that her father would never be able to see her.

"And you want to be here, with me?"

Why was he talking like this all of a sudden? Of course, she wanted to be here with him. Otherwise she would have never come into the bathroom. She went ahead to give him another nod—

"because if you don’t, today I will give you an opportunity to walk away. If you choose to walk away, you will have nothing from me, not my protection, not my money, you get to be on your own."

What? Evelyn blinked back in surprise and this time she was sure that he did not have to gorge the reaction out of her. It must be readily available on her face.

He nodded, watching her closely. "Go ahead, Evelyn. Make your choice."
