My body hummed deliciously with the after touch, and honestly, I craved more even though my body protested hardly against these thoughts.Theon grunted and pulled me closer, burying his face into the crook of my neck as he hummed in satisfaction. I guess I could say that we were back to where we were. But even with the emotions buzzing, I couldn’t think because my head was filled with so many thoughts.The truth about Julian hung above me. I was starting to regret my decision not to tell Theon because it had been bothering me nonstop. We had decided to start things all over again, without secrets, but I was still keeping a big one from him.I turned to my back, and Theon’s hand fell to my midsection, still unwilling to l

AUTHOR’S POVThe silence in the boardroom was no longer filled with tension but with disbelief. They couldn’t believe the audacity of Julian.“Julian, calm down,” One of the board members yelled in warning, but Julian’s glare forced the man to back down.Julian could feel his voice becoming hoarse as he breathed harshly. His words echoed in the room, and it wasn’t enough. Rage burned inside him. The anger was overwhelming, and he wasn’t even done.The mask he had always worn had disappeared. Gone was the refined man the board members always knew, the Julian before them had gone feral with greed and hatred. He was a beast.No one moved at first. They all watched him with the mix of surprise, fear, disgust, and wonder.
