Rapine: Abducted by the Billionaire
Page 25
I hesitate for a moment as Julian places the card into my hand.
I drop my eyes down to look at the card. “I don’t think I need this,” I murmur as I peer up at Julian.
“You can charge anything you want on it,” Julian clarifies. “And I mean anything; your heart’s desire.”
“You’ve already offered so much,” I whisper.
“Nonsense,” Julian scoffs. “I would offer you the sun, the moon, and the stars if I could.”
I am silent as I process the overwhelming feelings overtaking me. “It’s just so much,” I say under my breath.
“It’s never too much,” Julian gloats. I sense he is feeling fulfilled by offering so much of himself to me.
I take a sip of my wine. “Thank you,” I say gratefully. Although being materially fulfilled is superlative, it’s mostly about the act of him offering all he can offer me; a self-sacrificing gesture.
“You’ll get used to it. You should know that nothing makes me happier than seeing you happy.”
“I am so happy just being with you.”
“I know. I wouldn’t want it any other way. You we’re not fully happy with Derek.”
“Even if I were to go back to Derek, I could never be as happy with him as I am with you. Shouldn’t I let him know that he will never make me happy, that his efforts to get me back are useless?”
“Regardless of what you tell him, I’ve spoken on the phone with him and he is determined to get you back.”
“Cheryl, you have nothing to worry about. If he wants to try to get you back, he can come find us, and fight me once more, but this will be the last time.”
