Evelyn's POV
And damn it—
he wasn’t wrong.
No one would get under Sebastian’s skin the way Julian could.
His hand brushed lightly along my inner thigh.
Not pushing. Just there. Waiting.
I swallowed, biting down on my lip.
Power.Desire.Control.
It all came at me at once, like a wave I wasn’t ready for.
No.Don’t rush this.
“I need time to think,” I said, forcing my voice steady.
His offer was tempting.Too tempting.But I hated complications.
And Julian?Was complication in human form.
“One minute.”
I blinked. “What?”
“That’s how long you get.”
I stared at him.Was he serious?I pushed at his shoulder, irritation flaring.And suddenly everything snapped into focus.That was the real issue.Not him.Not even Sebastian.
Control.
Julian was not someone you could walk away from whenever
