The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts Chapter 53: Looks a Lot Like Catching Someone Cheating
When Claire and Felix made it back to the campsite, Julian was standing by the fire with a face like thunder.In the firelight, Felix studied him for a moment, a faint smile tugging at his mouth.He'd seen Julian around before, though the two had never really crossed paths socially.Julian's sharp gaze swept over Felix, unmistakably cold, tracking exactly how close he was standing to Claire.Felix had let go of her hand only two minutes earlier not that it seemed to help.The two men clearly recognized each other by reputation, though there was no real familiarity between them.Two men of that caliber rarely got along easily competing egos didn't mix well.Julian pulled his attention off Felix, his eyes landing on Claire instead, unreadable.He crossed the distance between them in a few quick strides and pulled her straight into his arms.One hand cradled the back of her head, the other tipped her chin up firmly. "Baby. Cutting it close, weren't you."Claire pushed lightly at his ches

"Honestly, I'd be more than happy to keep you safe."Claire blinked, caught momentarily off guard by the shift in his tone."Let's go." Felix extended his hand.She let him take it, his palm warm and firm around hers.An odd charge settled over the moment, her pulse ticking up despite herself.They were close enough now that she caught the faint trace of his cologne.After a beat, she tried to pull her hand back but his grip only tightened.Then, without warning, he caught her waist and pulled her flush against him.Their bodies pressed together, and Claire's breath caught.She felt the solid line of his chest against hers, heat rising to her cheeks."Felix. What are you doing?"She hadn't expected him to make a move this fast.She tried to pull back, but his voice stopped her, low and warm. "Stay still for a second."He leaned in, eyes dark and unhurried, his mouth just barely holding back a smile.Something about the air between them felt charged, deliberate."Bit cold out here," he
The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts Chapter 51: What's There to Be Scared Of? I'm Here.
Bianca crossed her arms, a look of anticipation settling over her face as she watched Claire disappear into the tree line. Julian shot her a cold look before turning and walking straight into the tent, done with the whole spectacle. He had absolutely no intention of spending another second in that woman's company. Bianca, unwilling to let a rare moment alone with him slip by, followed him inside. "Julian. Camping out here is actually kind of nice, isn't it?" she offered, attempting conversation. He ignored her completely, settling into a folding chair and pulling out some work documents. Undeterred, Bianca crept up behind him, seizing what she saw as the perfect opening. She wrapped her arms around him from behind, and the moment her hands made contact with his warm skin, her pulse spiked. She'd never been this physically close to him before, and the unexpected proximity had her heart racing with possibility. Just as her fingers started drifting lower, tracing toward his stoma
The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts Chapter 50: Baby, Don't Be Scared
Julian felt Claire press against him, soft and warm, carrying that same faint, familiar scent that always did something to his focus. Something shifted in his expression, his gaze going momentarily hazy. He brushed a hand over her hair, then wrapped an arm firmly around her waist, voice low and doting. "Don't worry. She won't lay a finger on you while I'm here." Bianca, standing off to the side, watched the two of them wrapped around each other, fury climbing straight to her head. She pointed a finger at Claire, who peeked out from Julian's arms with a raised eyebrow, and completely abandoned whatever polish she'd walked in with. "You little! I haven't even done anything yet, and you're already playing the victim!" "Don't think you can hide behind Julian and act smug with me!" She didn't actually dare touch Claire outright not while they were all out here together, and certainly not if it meant Julian sending her packing on the spot. But she had absolutely no intention of
The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts Chapter 49: Julian, You're Impossible
Claire pressed a light kiss to Julian's mouth, then caught the loose ends of his suit tie and pulled, drawing him in with an easy, deliberate tug of her fingers, her eyes glinting with the same familiar challenge.Julian thoroughly enjoyed being led around like this.He tilted his chin up, his hands settling on her shoulders before drifting lower, unhurried.The dress slipped down to pool around her waist.Their eyes locked, something electric passing between them.Claire wrapped an arm around his waist and rose on her toes, pressing a kiss to his throat, her voice teasing and warm."Julian. You're impossible."He smiled down at her, something dark and pleased flickering in his expression, and pulled her in for another slow, deep kiss.When they finally broke apart, both of them were a little breathless.Claire's cheeks stayed flushed, her already striking features somehow even more so in the firelight.She barely had a second to catch her breath before Julian pressed forward again, g
The Divorcee Who Ruled Their Hearts Chapter 48: An Exciting Camping Trip
Amid a chorus of teasing from the other guests, Julian steered Claire out of the banquet hall.The rain hadn't let up outside.He held the umbrella carefully over her, keeping her close and shielded from the drizzle.As they crossed toward the car, Julian's possessiveness had clearly reached its peak.He glanced down at her, something dark simmering behind his eyes."Your uncle looked at you very strangely tonight.""Are you upset?" Claire asked, blinking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.Something about that look softened him instantly.He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, voice low. "Baby. Keep some distance from him going forward."Claire settled into the passenger seat with a faint smile, saying nothing.Distance, huh. Given everything that had already happened between her and Damian, that request felt a little late.She had no intention of writing off a man as compelling as Damian Ashford just because Julian asked nicely.She'd always had this effect on men it wasn't somethi
