Chapter 259
Evangeline found Walter snoozing away nude. There was no way she could haul him into bed all by myself.
“Walter, come on, wake up! If you want to sleep, do it in your room, in a proper bed!”
Walter blinked his eyes open, all dazed. What he saw was Evangeline looking down at him with this weird, worried expression.
Was he still dreaming? Or maybe he was thinking about the wrong person?
They had just had a massive blow–up, so why on earth would Evangeline be fussing over him?
He could not believe it and his eyes went wide, his throat bobbing.
“E–Evangeline?”
“Who else? Get a move on, will you?”
Evangeline gave him an eyeroll for the ages, all the while grumbling to herself.
“I must’ve been in your debt in a past life or something. It’s the middle of the night and I’m not at home sleeping, but out at a bar picking up a lush like you! Only a total brain glitch would make me do something this dumb!”
Evangeline, with her slim arms, tried to drag Walter with all the strength she could muster, but he would not budge.
Running out of patience, she gave Walter a smack on the back.
“Can’t you try a little harder? You’re a big guy, don’t you realize that? How am I supposed to get you out if you don’t even try to move?”
Evangeline e was rough, sure, but Walter did not get mad. Not even a bit.
“Oh.”
He looked all kinds of sorry for himself and finally put some muscle into it, working with Evangeline’s tugging.
Together, they managed to get him halfway up. If he could just plant his feet on the bottom of the tub, he would be able to stand.
As it often happened, things did not always go to plan.
Walter had a bit too much to drink, and his coordination was off, not to mention the bathtub was as slippery as ice.
“Whoa!” he yelped as his foot slipped, and he tumbled back into the tub.
He was not the only one making a splash. Evangeline, who had been trying to fish him out, got pulled in
too.
Evangeline felt gravity yank her down, and before she knew it, she was soaked to the skin.

Chapter 259
The
withic of nearly drowning hit her like a wave, and she shot her head above water, only to lock eyes
Walter’s intense gaze.
He had that look–the one that screamed his brain was on a one–way trip to fantasy land.
She followed his stare and got why he was so out of it. She had ditched her bulky coat for comfort, leaving her in a thin white shirt that. It was no big deal when dry, but when wet… It left nothing to the imagination.
Eves off…
“Pervert! palm smacked Walter’s cheek as her heart hammered in her chest.
Walter was all fired up, just like that last time, and if he tried anything, she doubted she could stop him.
His hand, hot as a stove, latched onto her wrist. Walter’s dark eyes drilled into hers, and without thinking. his lips edged closer to hers.
The second their lips met, Walter’s jittery heart found peace.
Then, his breathing turned ragged, and his touch grew wilder without him even realizing it.
The fire raging within him grew wilder by the second. All he could think about was taking the woman in front of him, making her his, completely and utterly.
Evangeline was yanked into the bathtub against her will, her ability to breathe snatched from her. She was groggy, powerless to stop Walter’s every whim.
