Chapter 86 What Are You Doing?

Finished

A fire was burning inside, so it wasn’t cold at all. Rosalie closed the door. The thick carpet underfoot felt cozy. Worried her dirty shoes might stain it, she took them off and set them aside.

Julien was sitting on the carpet, one knee up, eyes fixed on her every move.

Rosalie walked over calmly. “Does what you said that day still count?”

Julien looked up, his deep blue eyes reflecting her image as he nodded. “Of course it does.

“I’ll lend you the money, but you have to keep your promise.”

Rosalie hesitated, then tested him. “Can’t we change the condition? I can pay you back double later.”

He reached for her wrist. She yelped and stumbled into his arms. He wasn’t wearing much. His beast-hide top dipped into a bold, deep V at the chest, revealing smooth, well-defined skin.

Her hand brushed over his firm chest. Her face heated instantly. She pulled back, scared she might touch something she shouldn’t.

When she tried to stand, Julien pressed at her waist, forcing her down onto his thigh.

His warm breath tickled her ear, and Rosalie nearly forgot how to breathe.

She turned her head. They were so close that their noses almost touched.

Rosalie blinked twice, totally overwhelmed by the closeness. She was about to speak when Julien’s face suddenly filled her vision.

His lips brushed hers. Her eyes went wide, and her heart skipped a beat.

The kiss was brief. Julien pulled back with a slight smile, his brows carrying an irresistible charm.

His long fingers rested lightly on her flushed lips.

“My future Matriarch, that’s the deposit.

“After the chillwave passes, we’ll get married. I want the grandest bonding ceremony of all.”

Rosalie was almost lost in those blue eyes like that day. She was dazed, unable to say anything.

“What are you doing?!”

Finished

The voice cut through the room like ice. Rosalie turned to see Micah at the door. Behind him were Cameron, looking furious, and Leon, his eyes icy cold.

Rosalie was still sitting on Julien’s lap. She quickly pushed him away and stood up.

Micah walked to her side. His gaze dropped to her reddened, glossy lips. The air around them felt freezing, like the room itself had chilled.

Cameron lunged forward and grabbed Julien’s collar. Seeing Julien’s chest mostly bare, his eyes turned red with anger. He cursed, “You damn seducer!”

Then he yelled, “Pervert! What did you do to the Matriarch?!”

Julien sat steadily on the floor, even sipping warm wine and smiling at Rosalie.

“Matriarch, haven’t you told them about us?”

Cameron froze, his brain failing to process it. “What did you just call her?”

Rage flared. He yanked Julien’s collar, almost lifting him off the floor.

“You don’t get to call her Matriarch!”

Seeing Cameron about to strike, Rosalie hurried to explain, but a pair of arms wrapped tightly around her waist from behind.

Those arms were like iron clamps. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t move.

Panicking, Rosalie started sweating and yelled, “Leon, let go of me!”

She shouted toward the others, “Cameron, I can explain it!”

When neither reacted, Rosalie turned to the gentlest one for help.

“Micah, make them calm down. Let me explain.”

Micah’s eyes

held feelings Rosalie couldn’t read-dark, heavy, and suffocating.

His fingers lightly brushed her lips as he stared at her. His voice was soft as ever, but it sent a shiver down her spine.
