Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 103

Helene was bawling and cursing out Madeline, yelling for the driver to hurry up.

Madeline was still breathless from Julian’s kiss when he finally let her go. Her cheeks were burning. She seized her chance, shoving him down onto the couch. She snatched a fruit knife from the coffee table and pressed it to his neck. “Julian, you absolute bastard!”

Julian felt the cool blade against his skin but only grinned, tugging her closer. “Wow, you’ve gotten gutsy.”

“Don’t touch me. You think I won’t do it?”

A soft laugh slipped from him. His deep voice was low and rough, almost teasing. “Go ahead. Try me.”

Madeline’s hand shook as she held the knife, her eyes ringed with angry red. Julian caught her slender wrist, keeping her right where he wanted. He lay back, pulling her on top of him, his mouth right by her ear. “So what is it? Are you scared, or do you just not want to hurt me?”

She pushed the knife harder, and he felt a sting at his throat. For a split second, there was a flash of real fury in her eyes.

Through gritted teeth, Madeline snapped, “Julian, why can’t you just let me go? We’re divorced. I don’t love you anymore. Why are you still doing this?”

I don’t love you anymore.

Julian’s eyes narrowed. He barely felt the scratch on his neck, but her words hit him hard, making his chest tighten. Something wild and angry simmered in his gaze.

Suddenly, loud banging rattled the door.

Helene’s shrill voice rang out. “Madeline, you trash, get out here! Give Julian back to me!”

She was so loud the neighbors were peeking out into the hallway. She sounded like a wife gone mad, desperate to drag her cheating husband and his lover into the open. She’d even brought a locksmith, who was already fiddling with the lock.

Madeline glanced at the door, her whole body relaxing when she realized it was Helene. At least it wasn’t Casey coming home with Oliver.

Julian saw the relief in her eyes and his expression darkened even more.

So she was that scared of her boyfriend seeing them?

He scooped her up and rolled her beneath him, crushing her lips in another kiss.

This time, his kiss was rough, almost savage. Madeline didn’t hesitate; she bit down on his lip, tasting blood between them.

The pain didn’t make him stop. If anything, it made him kiss her even harder, the taste of blood only fueling him. Madeline couldn’t fight him off. She could only let him kiss her, trapped in his arms.

That was when Helene finally crashed through the front door.

Madeline’s heart jumped into her throat. She started pushing at Julian, but he wouldn’t let her go. He just picked her up and carried her straight into the bathroom.

As the bathroom door swung shut, Helene stormed into the living room.

The bathroom door was frosted glass. Their shadows were just barely visible through it.
