Julius‘ body jerked in surprise<b>. </b>A momentter, Quinn’s warm palms cupped his cheeks, steadying the trembling he tried to hide.
“Julius Whitethorn, I will live longer than you. You do not have to fear me dying first<b>.</b>”
In that instant, the storm in his chest began to settle, each frantic beat pacified by her certainty.
It felt as though she could see the precise shape of his fear and was cing gentle hands <b>over </b>every sharp edge.
He studied her, needing the answer as much as air. “You promise?”
She smiled. “I promise.”
Still smiling, she lifted her hand and crooked her pinky. “Shall we seal it with a pinky promise?<b>” </b>
He stared at the tiny invitation for a long, silent beat, then finally hooked his own pinky around hers.
“Quinn, a pinky promise means you must do what you said.”
“I will.” She pressed the pad of her thumb to his, sealing the childish ritual with solemn devotion.
In their world, that simple gesture was holy–a vow no courtroom could rival.
She knew how deeply this man loved her, and if she left the world first, he might follow her straight into the dark.
As such, she would fight to live longer than he did, praying he would live a long, fruitful life.
That night, Quinn fell asleep with her fingersced through Julius‘
Morning light arrived, and the very first thing she saw was the man’s striking, sleeping face. Waking to such a view each day felt like a gift her eyes never tired of unwrapping.
Even with rumpled hair and half–lidded eyes, his beauty refused to hide, spilling effortlessly into every angle.
He looked nothing like the aloof businessman the world feared. In sleep, he wasnguid, innocent, and dangerously morepelling.

Quinn had already imed the job of changing Julius‘ bandages each morning.
Julius merely nodded, offering noment.

Changing the dressing, winding new gauze–such chores flowed from Quinn’s fingers <b>like </b>second nature.
After all, her mother had been a military doctor, and Quinn had shadowed that <b>steady </b>hand since childhood. Later, being in the Falcon Special Forces turned practice into reflex.
Most days, the two of them upied the vast presidential suite as though it were a private world suspended above the city.
While Julius sequestered himself in the study to wrestle with corporate battles, Quinn settled in the airy lounge,ptop bnced on her knees, fielding emails, briefing her staff, and exchanging quick messages with Laura.
“So, tell me, now that you and Julius have found each other again, have you slept with him yet?” Laura asked, her tone as casual as a question about the weather.
Laura, forever honest about her desires, pictured herself in Quinn’s ce. With a specimen like Julius lounging nearby, she doubted her own restraint.
Quinn coughed, a small, embarrassed rasp that slipped through the call.
Laura caught the sound and needed no further confirmation.
“Cast on your leg or not, girl, that is some iron–willed determination!”
The remark made Quinn choke for real this time, water catching in her throat until tears pricked her eyes.

“Since you two are back together, when are you flying home?” Laura pressed.
“We’re not back together,” Quinn answered, her voice thin.
Laura gasped. “You’re kidding… You guys haven’t made up with each other?”
Julius had braved a wall of mes to save Quinn, and Quinn had chased him all the way to Celosia, yet somehow the final piece between them remained out of ce.
“Did you at least tell him you love him?<b>” </b>she continued.

“I did. Iid every card on the table and even put my feelings into, um, action. He still doubts. that what I feel is real.”
“Then maybe the action wasn’t great enough. Maybe he wasn’t satisfied?” Laura said after thinking for several seconds.
“Laura!” Quinn eximed. “I don’t think that’s the issue here!”
“Harmony in the sheets keeps love on its feet,” Laura dered. “I know everyone has their own area of expertise, and it’s understandable that you’re not very skilled in this aspect. But that’s fine–I’ll give you some materials so you can study and improve.”
Laura ended the call before Quinn could protest. Momentster, several video links popped onto thetter’s screen.
She tapped one absentmindedly, only to immediately regret her action. The image exploded into motion, and her eyes flew wide as heat pooled in her cheeks.
As it turned out, Laura’s “material” was a collection of adult films.
Bodies tangled on the small disy, breathy moans and wet kisses leaking through the speaker until the very air around her seemed to rise in temperature.
<i>Oh </i><i>my </i><i>goodness</i>. <i>I </i><i>better </i><i>close </i><i>the </i><i>video</i>. <i>Otherwise</i>, <i>if </i><i>Julius </i><i>sees </i><i>this</i><i>… </i>
Suddenly, the man’s voice rang out from behind her. “What are you watching?”
