It took Noah two more weeks of begging to finally get Eva to agree to the dinner and still, she
wasn't happy about it. In the end, it became a family affair with Olivia and Eric, his aunt and
uncle, his mother and Johnathon Cross.
On the day of the dinner, his mother and aunt aided Eva in the kitchen, so he was sure she
wouldn't be trying to kill anyone with them there. To soothe her ruffled feathers, Noah, Eric and
Olivia set the table and the appetizers. Olivia added fresh flowers to the table and made sure her
husband and cousin didn't botch the job.
Roland and Veronica arrived and joined in the festivities while Eva was still in the kitchen. Noah
chatted with Roland to delay informing her of their arrival for as long as possible. He didn't get
off that easy as Olivia informed them that Eva went to change and would be down shortly, so the
dinner party could officially begin.
Eva was a woman that would never bore him Noah realized as Eva swept into the den. She had
her hair down and dressed in a red dress that made Roland's eyes pop out of his head and Noah
want to cover her. Her full breasts were on display as the dress wrapped around her curves. To
make matters worse, she was wearing no underwear.
"You must be Roland." Eva greeted in that fucking bedroom voice of hers.
"Uh..." Roland gasped out as he stared at her.
"Bonjour again, Veronica. It's so nice to see you again." Eva greeted in French.
Finding his voice, Roland stated, "You speak the language like a native."
"I lived in Italy as a child, travelling around Europe and learning the language is natural," Eva
answered in Italian.
"Wow. I'm impressed." Roland gushed.
Of course, he was, Noah gripped internally. She was charming the pants off of him. She was
screwing with both him and Veronica with her little show. He didn't know if he should be mad,
applaud her antics or take her upstairs and rip that dress off and fuck her till she couldn't move.
As he continued to stare at her, his mind leaned towards the last.
Eva leaned forward as she offered Roland an appetizer and a better view of her cleavage.
Honestly, Noah had to give it to Roland, he did try not to look, for about a minute then his eyes
plastered there until Eva tilted his eyes up, smiling at him. She finally turned to Noah as though
she just remembered he existed.
