resist him

Milena's POV

The electrifying feelings surging through me gave me one or two ideas of knowing who he was. There's only one person that makes me feel that way and that person is Julian. I toss on the bed to get away from his burning skin but he's determined to keep it on me. Not to be too cocky but I'm glad he came despite being with his mistress. I can feel the warmth of his touch on my arms and forehead.

" How are you feeling? I can't believe that happened" he speaks moving his hands in caresses that I can't help but hum. Caught red-handed, I slowly open my eyes to meet his tender ones staring lovingly at me. I would have been swooning over him if I didn't know about his affair.

" Never been better. How are Logan and Isa? Are they awake?" I ask hauling myself up in a sitting position with his assistance. He caresses my hair and I twitch my lips dying to run into his arms. There's a cannula on my hands which I was uncomfortable with, so I pull it out of my veins before he can stop me. He'd express his disapproval with a scowl but I ignored it. I feel fine. He's my problem, Isa, too.

" They're fine. And yes they're awake" good. I toss the hospital quilt away ready to get some answers but he stopped me with a simple sneer. I stopped moving to look at him.

" Ariana is with Logan and your parents are with Isabella. They're not alone. You need to eat if you must see them" he tells me then gets off the chair to get a tray of food, places it on the bed, and sat down beside me.

" How long was I asleep? " Ignoring the sparks from his touch I pick up the spoon to dig in.

" Four hours at least. I'm sorry about Maximilian. His family has been contacted and his body moved. Care to tell me what happened? " He happened. I wasn't going to sign the contract because I made up my mind to accept his menacing gift then those photos came in and I realize he was not going to be there forever and I don't need to ruin my career for him.

" He was shot by Trevor's men and I was almost looted again... " I stop myself from speaking further having flashbacks of the day Isabella claimed she was kidnapped. Julian had taken her into custody only to release her days later. Did she, wait, she did that?

This is crazy.

" What are you thinking? " He asks but I don't answer as I swat his hands away from my body to stand on my feet. I have to talk to Isa. Stepping down from the bed, I grab a gift box containing some clothes from the chair intending to go to the bathroom.

" What are you doing? I just told you to lie down" he commands and I roll my eyes at him spontaneously searching for a fitting outfit to wear.

" Trevor killed someone Julian, an innocent man yet all you can think about is me lying down? That's bullshit" he creases his brows when I said that, rounds the bed then wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me to his hard chest. I think I have forgotten what I wanted to say at this moment. I lift my head to look at him in admiration again. Julian has that effect on me.

" I know babe. I know. There's nothing you can do about it. Traffic cameras saw him driving downtown and there are barely any CCTV cameras over there. He's going to pay for what he did to you. I promise you " he coaxes cupping my cheeks which I leaned into. He brings his hands on my back while I rest my head on his chest then heave a sigh of relief. He's so warm, so hopeful and I want to trust him believe me I do ... Whatever I should bask in this moment. So, I hold on to him for some time before he pulls away from the hug leading me to sit on the bed and I foolishly allow him. I can't help it.

" You have to eat something. You need the strength " he tells me. I nod and begin to eat. He picks up the knife on the tray to slice some apples and cherries I can't help but stare at him. Am I that important to him?

I drop the last spoon after eating to my satisfaction while he takes the tray away and then joins me on the extremely large bed. I scooch over to give him more space. Hospitals have bigger beds huh? Nice.

" Are you really okay? I can almost feel your frustrations. You can talk to me" he says but I ignored it more concerned for my bleeding heart that can't resist him. He reaches for me across the bed. I stare at his ever-tender eyes then scoots closer to him and rest my head on his chest.

" What happened? Why are you wary of me?" He asks which stunned me. I didn't mean to give that impression until I have evidence. Lifting my head off his chest, I shake my head.

" I'm just tired Julian. Trevor surprised me today. Hopefully, the documents I took from the board room will provide answers " he smiles like he's proud of me then presses his lips on mine. The first thing that comes to my mind when I felt his lips on mine was seeing him kiss that bitch with it but I changed my mind as he pulls away and then stands up from the bed. I felt the loss of his kiss and touch at the same time causing a bang on my chest at the fact that he doesn't want to kiss me anymore.

" Where are you going? You're leaving? " He turns around with an apologetic look but I maintain my disappointed face which is obvious by the way. I can't hide it.

"No, I need a moment" he sits on the bed staring at me. Feeling those blue orbs on me, I decided to try again by leaning forward to kiss him while he keeps staring at me. I swallow hard before pressing my lips on his. He chuckles when I suck on his lower lips then opens his mouth to give me access.

My rationality seems to have been thrown out of the window as he slips his tongue into my mouth. I moan curling my hands on his hair, slipping my tongue in his mouth to taste him then deepen the kiss while I straddle him.

So much for the cold shoulder.
