A Diamond In The Rough ~Julian and Eve~ Chapter 11

Eve looked at Julian with wide, nervous eyes. "What are you going to do, Julian?" she asked, afraid to hear the answer.

A slow smile spread over his handsome face. "Oh, I couldn't tell you, my darling....I prefer to surprise you. And after all, " he added with a mischievous look, "you are my captive damsel, aren't you, my dear?" He planted a kiss on her forehead. "Mine, to do with as I will."

"Julian, if you don't stop this, I'll never forgive you!" she contended hotly, only to have his hands frame her face. " This is insane! You can't keep me like this--be reasonable!"

He got up from the bed, still smiling. "Oh, I will be reasonable in every way--all you have to do is enjoy it," he said, his voice taking on the deep seductive tones that she knew so well. With that, he left the room again, leaving Eve writhing on the bed in frustation. Julian knew she would tire quickly, the cords being tight enough to restrain her if she did not pull them harshly. Picking up a bottle from the bathroom vanity, a grin of pure delight lit his features.

Eve's eyes were shooting daggers at him as he entered the room, and he laughed in response. "That look does nothing for your ethereal beauty, my love--can't you arrange that lovely face of yours into a more pleasant expression?" he queried, knowing that that remark would enrage her all the more. Ah, there was a thin line between love and hate, and he was determined to push Eve over the line.
 

"I'll be more pleasant when you return to the world of the sane and law abiding," Eve shot back. She watched with curiousity as Julian showed her the flask he'd brought into the room."What is that?"
 

"Something you may remember from some years past.....do the words 'Drakkar Noir' mean anything to you?" He opened the bottle and began dabbing a smalll amount behind his ears, much to Eve's horror.

He wouldn't dare, Eve thought apprehensively. He wouldn't! Yet she knew that all of these years later, Julian had remembered that she adored the smell of that cologne--which was why he'd worn it so often when they were together. Eve had laughingly called it her aphrodisiac, and he had always made sure to have a supply on hand whenever they were together.

"Julian, please," she began nervously. "You don't want to do this."

"Oh, I do, my Lady Day.....I want it more than the very air that I breathe," Julian said huskily, as his eyes feasted upon Eve's lovely form. Her rising panic made her chest rise and fall, and Julian licked his lips at the sight. "Of course, if you don't want me to--all you have to do is tell me what I want to hear. The truth--all of it."
 

"What-what truth? Julian, don't!" Eve shrieked as Julian took his index finger and ran it gently up the side of her leg through her dress, stopping at her hip.

"Tell me, Eve,'" he persisted, as he hovered over her, allowing her to inhale the cologne that he knew she loved so well. Seeing her eyes widen, and her breathing quicken, he smiled knowingly. "What secrets are you keeping from me....and when will you admit that I still have your heart, my dear?"
 

Eve was becoming intoxicated by Julian's nearness and the scent that made her remember loving him with wild abandon all of those years ago. She tried to steel herself, but her will was slipping away by the second. Julian saw a momentary weakness in her eyes, but soon it was replaced by Eve's strength returning.

How valiant, he thought amusedly. Custer's last stand.

"NO, Julian! You will not do this to me....I forbid it!" Eve declared, trying to ignore her heart beating furiously.
 

Julian gave her an almost sympathetic look. "Even now, captive of my love that you are, you 'forbid' me? Forbid all you like....this is a pleasure I cannot deny myself, nor you." With that, he placed his hands on her dress, unbuttoning it to reveal her shapely legs up to her midriff. "Care to take a trip into the past, my dear?" he asked, seeing Eve's eyes snap dangerous sparks at him.

How lovely, he mused, as Eve tugged again at her ropes. She looks as beautiful as she did the first time we--

A moment later, he gasped. "Eve....these faint stretchmarks on your stomach! You've had a child!"
