Chapter 2471

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face.

Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah’s eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah’s mesmerizing gaze locked onto him.

What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool-a pathetic fool.

Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien’s head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien-just as he had last night.

“Julien, does it still hurt—”

“Fuck you!”

Julien’s bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah’s face.
