LOGINBack 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
Valeria stared up at him through a haze of pure, unadulterated pleasure, her chest heaving rapidly as she tried to find her voice. Her vision was slightly blurry, and her mind was completely spinning from the crushing orgasm that was still sending ripples of warmth through her lower body. Julian hovered directly over her, his strong forearms framing her head, his grey eyes wide and intensely focused as he waited for the one truth he needed to hear.After a second of desperately catching her breath, Valeria finally replied. "Yes," she whispered, her voice cracking with a raw, long buried emotion. "Yes, Julian. I’ve missed you every single day for the past five years. Every single day."Upon hearing her reply, something inside Julian completely fractured. The heavy wall of defense he had built around his heart for half a decade melted away, leaving him entirely exposed. His breathing hitched, and without a moment's hesitation, he asked another question."Do you want me back?" he asked,
The kiss deepened, turning from a gentle, desperate reassurance into a fierce, consuming flame that had been buried under ice for five long years. Julian’s grip on her jaw tightened ever so slightly, his tongue sliding past her lips to taste her fully, claiming her mouth with an intensity that left Valeria completely breathless. A low, ragged groan vibrated from his chest straight into hers, and his large, warm hands began to roam all over her body. He moved with an intimate familiarity that time hadn't erased, touching her exactly where he knew she liked, tracing the curve of her waist and pressing his palm against her thigh. The sheer sensation of having her back in his arms, soft and completely yielding, shattered the last of his restraint. It didn't take much time before he became as hard as a rock, his heavy frame growing rigid with a sudden, overwhelming surge of desire. Julian immediately raised his body off her slightly, breaking the kiss for a fraction of a second to catch
The drive back to the hotel was exceptionally quiet. The heavy security guards escorted Julian up the VIP elevator, leaving him at the double doors of his room. The moment he stepped inside the spacious luxury suite, the absolute silence felt like a heavy blanket pressing down on his chest. Julia
As Julian headed back toward the inner VIP lounge, his long strides were mechanical, but his brain was firing at a chaotic, exhausting speed. A million different things began running through his mind all at once. At this point, the legendary Ice King truly didn't know what to do anymore. He felt co
Julian slumped onto the edge of the mattress, his head buried deep in his large hands. The raw pain in his voice vibrated through the quiet luxury suite. Ken sat back on a nearby armchair, remaining completely silent as he listened intently, allowing his best friend to finally pour out the heavy se
Back at Valeria’s place, the heavy silence of the apartment was broken by a loud, frantic knock at the door. Valeria quickly wiped her eyes, and Tara opened the door to let Shawn in before quietly slipping out to give them some privacy.The moment Shawn stepped inside, his eyes locked onto Valeria’
