Chapter 67

• When we got back to my brother’s, he was outside waiting for me. His face was completely masked, not a single fucking emotion visible. I met his gaze evenly, knowing he wanted to talk to me. “Let me get her to our room, and I’ll come down to your office,” I told him.
• He nodded once and spun around on his heel, executing a perfect about-face before he strode into the house, leaving the door open for me. I led Juliana up to our room and shut the door behind me. I cupped her face in my hands, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her lips. “Get a shower,” I told her. “I’ll be back shortly, and I’ll take care of you,” I promised.
• She nodded. I released her and waited until she was in the bathroom before I strode out of the room. I looked at the guard positioned outside. “No one enters without my permission.” He nodded. “If she leaves the room, I am to be notified immediately.” I didn’t think she would, but I wouldn’t take a single chance.
