Se connecterValeria instantly froze, the glass of orange juice hovering halfway to her mouth. The sudden shift in the room's atmosphere made her heart skip a beat. She carefully set the glass back down on the silver tray, her fingers trembling slightly. She tried to brush the question aside, forcing a small, tight smile onto her face as she looked away toward the velvet curtains. "Oh, it was nothing really important, Julian," she said, her voice sounding a bit too airy, a bit too forced. "I was just... you know, working. I was trying to get an exclusive interview before the final period started. You know how the media gets during the championship finals. It was just work." Julian didn't say a word right away. He just sat perfectly still, his massive frame casting a long shadow over the bed. He watched the way she completely avoided eye contact with him, her eyes darting around the room, her fingers nervously picking at the fabric of his oversized black shirt. He knew her too well. He knew eve
Julian tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her back against his chest as she finished drying her face with a small towel. He looked at her through the bathroom mirror, his grey eyes soft and completely relaxed. "How was your night, love? Did you sleep well?" he asked, his deep voice rubbing against her ear. Valeria turned around slightly in his embrace, her cheeks still sporting a beautiful, pink shade from the warm water. She nodded her head in agreement, a small, genuine smile on her lips. "Mmm I slept incredibly well, Julian. I don't think I've slept that deeply for a long time. The bed is like a cloud." Julian chuckled at the sight of her childishness before he cleared his throat softly, his gaze dropping down from her face, tracing the long line of her bare, smooth thighs beneath his oversized black shirt. It was a silent, intense question that asked if she was physically okay after the rough, passionate night they had shared, or if she needed any medication or war
Back at the penthouse suite, the morning sun was now shining brightly through the gaps in the curtains. Julian was already wide awake. His grey eyes were wide open, staring intently at Valeria's peaceful morning face. It was already past 10 in the morning, yet she wasn't showing any signs of waking up soon. He couldn't help but wonder if this was how she normally slept these days, or if she was just completely exhausted from last night's intense and passionate activities. Julian, at this point, was already missing the sweet sound of her voice. He badly wanted to wake her up just so he could talk to her, but he knew how much she needed the rest after everything she had endured. Controlling his urge, he simply got out of the bed carefully, placing a soft, lingering kiss on her forehead. He moved to wear just his simple drawers and headed straight into the bathroom. He washed his mouth and rinsed his face, and before leaving, he placed a brand new spare toothbrush right on the marble si
Inside the main living room of the grand Vane mansion, the atmosphere was incredibly thick with tension. Mrs. Clara Vane, Ariel, and Mr. Romanus sat in the sprawling parlor, their eyes constantly glancing at the large grandfather clock. They had all rushed to the mansion late last night, firmly believing that whatever dramatic stunt Julian was pulling, he would eventually come back home after cooling off. But it was already morning, and there was still absolutely no trace or news from him. Not even a single text message had dropped. It was completely unlike her son. No matter how difficult a situation was, or how angry he got during his occasional outbursts, Julian always updated his mother. He never left her completely in the dark like this. Mrs. Clara was beginning to panic, her heart hammering against her ribs as the worst kinds of thoughts began to creep into her mind. She had spent the entire night calling every single one of Julian’s known estate properties across the city,
Julian immediately pulled the thick, plush blanket up to cover Valeria first, shielding her bare, flushed skin from the sudden chill of the room. He reached over to the nightstand, grabbing the smart remote to increase the AC, bringing the temperature down to a perfectly crisp, freezing level to clear out the heavy heat of their passion.He slid under the blanket beside her and cuddled her softly, pulling her warm, trembling body securely against his massive frame. He began planting soft, gentle kisses all over her face, tenderly pressing his lips against her mouth, her little nose, her closed eyelids, and her rosy cheeks. His large, warm hands moved underneath the blanket, gently caressing her body with a light, soothing touch to help her muscles relax after the intense workout."Are you okay?" he asked, his deep voice dropping into a genuinely worried whisper as he looked down at her. "Does it hurt anywhere, mmm?"But Valeria was way too tired to speak a single word. Her body felt l
Julian pulled back from her mouth for just a second, his chest heaving as he looked down at her. His grey eyes were completely dark, filled with a raw, primal hunger that had been suppressed for five long years. He reached down and stripped away her remaining shorts, leaving her completely bare on the crisp white sheets. With a swift, smooth movement, he discarded his own drawers, finally revealing his hard member. He was incredibly well endowed, a thick, perfect eight and a half inches of pure, throbbing muscle that had Valeria’s eyes widening slightly in the dim, golden light of the bedroom.'Was this what he'd put in her the other night?' Without waiting another second, Julian moved between her thighs. The tension in the room was thick, a perfect mix of rough, uncontrollable lust and deep, unyielding love. He grabbed her hips, his large hands sinking into her skin, and slammed hard into her with a sudden, powerful force. Valeria let out a loud, piercing gasp, her head throwing ba
The heat between them rose to an unbearable level inside the quiet suite. Pinned securely against the cold marble wall, Valeria could feel every hard line of Julian’s bare chest pressing against her. The anger and panic that had consumed her just seconds ago began to melt away under the sheer inten
Shawn immediately stood up, his heart hammering against his ribs in pure panic. He quickly grabbed a spare sheet from the edge of the bed and wrapped it tightly around his waist to cover his naked self. "Who the hell are you?!" his voice thundered through the quiet room, echoing off the high ceili
The next morning, the bright golden sun peeked through the heavy glass windows of the luxurious penthouse suite, casting a warm glow over the giant king.sized bed. Valeria was still fast asleep, buried beneath the soft white duvet, her breathing slow and peaceful. But Julian was already wide awak
Finally, by the time the Canadian sports personality ended his long winded conversation, Julian felt like he had been sitting on pins and needles for a whole century. The moment Mr. Harrison shook his hand one last time and turned away, Julian immediately lunged forward to stand up from the plush s
