Chapter 349
Early morning.
Julian hadn’t slept a wink, yet he was buzzing with energy. He traced the lines of the woman in his arms, his finger gliding from her. brow to her nose, then down to her chin. He punctuated the journey with a soft, adoring kiss on her lips.
He could kiss her forever.
If it weren’t for the daylight streaming in, he wouldn’t have stopped at all.
After last night, he finally understood. He’d been living on bread and water for twenty–eight years without even realizing what a feast tasted like. It was barely a life.
He pressed another kiss to her smooth cheek. His eyes were soft, his lips curved into a smile that made him look completely revitalized. He’d shed his emotional inhibitions overnight.
Sienna had never been so exhausted. Every bone in her body ached. A tickling sensation on her face made her frown, and she lifted at hand to brush it away.
But her hand was caught, her fingertips gently nipped before being pressed against his bare chest.
“Too hot.” Sienna mumbled, trying to push him away
Julian relented, shifting back a little but keeping his arm wrapped around her.
An hour later, Sienna still showed no signs of waking Julian slipped out of bed and pulled on a pair of black silk pajama pants.
Julian tucked the blankets around her, placed a final kiss on her brow, and quietly left the room.
Lana and Reno saw him emerge and instinctively took a step back
“I’m going to make her something to eat. She’s fine now.” Julian said.
“Okay,” Lana replied.
As Lana led Reno away, Reno shot a fuming look at the bites and scratches marking Julian’s neck. Men were all animals.
“If the boss didn’t need a man, I could do the job just fine, Reno thought bitterly
“Hey, watch where you’re going.” Reno snapped
Reno, who had been sulking by the door, was knocked to the ground. A sharp pain shot through her backside.
She glared up at the person who’d run into her.
Clark offered an apologetic grin. “Sorry, my bad. I didn’t mean to. I’m looking for my boss. It’s urgent.”
He hurried past her and into the room.
Reno was seeing red. She shook her fist, but Lana stopped her. “Calm down. He’s with Mr. Ford”
“My ass hurts. I bet it’s bruised. Reno grumbled.
“Tll put some cream on it for you. Come on, Lana said with a sigh.
Reno’s eyes lit up. “Really? Oh, Lana, you’re the best. Let’s go, it really, really hurts.”
“Sir, we might have overdone it with the drug. Thorn Noir is still out cold” Clark said.
Clark watched Julian carefully, his stomach churning with anxiety. He worried his boss would think he’d been reckless.
Hut Julian didn’t look displeased at all. In fact, he seemed happy.
