Second Marriage The Billionaire's Planned Love (Quinn and Julian) novel Chapter 14

Zeke was confused, asking, “Do we need a doctor? For her condition, you could just help her out. Or at least a cold shower…”

He trailed off when he saw the look on Julian’s face.

“Okay, I’ll call him.”

He dragged Maddox out like a sack of garbage and thoughtfully closed the door behind him. He was still reeling. He looked down at the unconscious Maddox and shook his head.

Zeke could only shake his head. He had always known Julian had a fire banked deep inside him, but seeing it finally unleashed for a woman was a terrifying sight to behold.

Maddox was finished.

Inside the room, Quinn had finally kicked off the blanket. Her face was flushed with an unnatural, feverish heat, a rosy blush that spread across every inch of her exposed skin, creating a breathtakingly sensual image that would make any man’s blood run hot. As Julian’s own throat tightened and his Adam’s apple bobbed convulsively, he leaned down, fighting his own instincts as he tried to cover her again with the blanket.

But just as he moved, Quinn, lost in the fog of her drugged consciousness, caught a familiar scent, cool, distant, and intoxicating, like the clean air of pine trees on a snow–capped mountain, and unlike before, her body responded not with fear, but with a deep, instinctual longing.

Before Julian could react, a slender arm shot out, her long, delicate fingers winding around his wrist like a tenacious vine, a touch so intimate and unexpected that he felt a jolt of panic. It was the first time a woman had ever been this close to him, let alone touched him. Her fingers were long and delicate, and even through the sleeve of his shirt, he could feel the scorching heat of her palm.
