Don't drift off , " she breathed , nipping the delicate edge of his ear . " Quinn ... " Julius managed , voice ragged . " Not tonight .

Rest first - tomorrow , when you've slept , I'll give you every second you ask for , as long as you want , but tonight ... " He had to summon every shred of willpower just to finish the sentence . " I'm not fragile ," she shot back . " If anything , I'm realizing my hunger for you is larger than I ever imagined . " She wanted all of him - heart , body , the quiet spaces between breaths . For her , this storm of wanting was utterly new , raw , and uncharted . Julius froze , stunned into stillness .

Every syllable she spoke , every inch she pressed closer , every breathy gasp that caught in her throat testified to just how fiercely she desired him . The proof surrounded him like heat off glowing coals . Dreams he once chased with aching desperation now seemed to fall straight into his palms . There had been a time he feared she might never want him enough - so he'd considered using any lure , even the tease of his own body , to keep her . None of it had worked back then . Quinn had never been someone ruled by desire . Yet tonight , her longing burned bright and undeniable .

" But- " +10 Free Coins . " No more buts , my sweet , patient man . Thank you for waiting , " she murmured before sealing his protest with a deep , silencing kiss .

Had he not guarded his love through their long separation , had he not waited , neither of them would have found their way back to this moment . He had waited - patient as stone - and loved her with a resolve that never wavered , a faith strong enough to draw her back and let them stand beside each other again . How could she not fall even deeper for a man like that - deeper than she had ever believed her heart capable of going .

So in the hush before dawn their bodies intertwined , all fierce longing and limitless affection , as if the world held nothing beyond the heat beneath that single hotel sheet . The next morning , Quinn was dragged from sleep by the shrill peal of the room's telephone . Blinking toward the sound , she found Julius perched on a couch across the plush suite , the device vibrating in his hand . " I'm busy right now , " Julius said into the receiver , his tone cool , clipped , unarguable . He ended the call , crossed to the bed , and gazed at the now - awake Quinn . " Sorry about the noise .

Do you want to sleep a little longer ? " Quinn shook her head , reached for her own phone on the nightstand , and checked the display . It was already creeping toward noon - eleven fifty - eight . She must have slept like a stone . " I'm rested . I still need to swing by Fane Group in a bit , " she said , sitting up and pushing the sheets aside . After everything that had exploded last night , she had to visit the corporation and get a clearer picture . No calls from their end had reached her phone , which , she supposed , meant the hackers had finally halted their assault . " Freshen up .

I'll have room service send lunch while you're in the shower , " Julius said . 2/3 9:58 Wed , Oct 8 d Chapter 462 Hungry Hearts 76 +10 Free Coins " Sure , " Quinn murmured , slipping from the mattress and padding toward the bathroom , the loose hotel robe brushing her calves .

" We traced the breach . Your father orchestrated the attack on Fane Group's cybersecurity system .

" " Do we know Joaquin's exact location ? " Julius asked . " We tracked the IP trail and street cameras . We have a general area but need more time for coordinates . " " How long ? " " One day . " " Fine . In twenty - four hours , I want his whereabouts . Mobilize our people , set a net around his current radius . I don't want him breathing without us knowing . " " That's a massive operation , especially on Celosian soil , " Fabian muttered . " I've already negotiated with the local powers . No one will stand in our way . If necessary , they'll lend hands .

This time , at any cost , we take him . " Julius ' resolve rang like iron . He could no longer afford to let his father slip through the cracks . Every previous mercy had only fueled Joaquin's escalation . The blaze he had set last time had already scorched Julius's final line . He could tolerate wounds to himself , but he would never allow his father to gamble with Quinn's life . He had made up his mind . This time he would cut away every last hidden danger , sever it so completely that nothing could ever crawl back to threaten the people he cared about .
