Julian disengaged from the kiss, and reality hit him like a ton of bricks.
He realized the crazy action he had just taken, Jealousy had gotten the better version of him, and he had kissed Astrid out of possessiveness.
Astrid's eyes sparkled with a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with color.
Julian's voice was low and husky as he warned, "Make this be the last time I see you with Rowan."
The undertone of jealousy was unmistakable, and Astrid's heart skipped a beat.
Still reeling from the intensity of the kiss, Astrid stood there, her fingers tracing the contours of her lips.
It was the second time their lips had met, but this time, Julian's passion had been fueled.
He didn't seem to feel guilty about his actions, and Astrid couldn't help but feel a thrill at the thought of being the object of his desire.
She watched him walk inside the mansion walking past Mattie.
