Ava Kent then noticed that the pajamas she and Julius Goodman were wearing were a couple's set, and her heart inexplicably fluttered.
Listening to him ordering breakfast, she felt utterly entranced.
"Julius..." Ava quietly got up, wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, and sweetly called out.
Julius Goodman stiffened, feeling a surge of electricity flood his heart.
Earlier, when she was sound asleep, he could still force himself to ignore it, but now...
His actions were faster than his thoughts, and he said, "No need to send it up."
With a snap, he hung up the phone, turned around, and pressed Ava onto the bed, showering her with kisses as fierce as a storm, fiercer than even the storm last night.
The wild morning began with Ava's unwitting attempt to ignite the flames.
Julius Goodman liked to leave his marks on her, like red plum blossoms against snowy mountains; at such times, his restless heart found great solace.
