Julian Donovan had been rebuffed, but there was nothing he could do about her. So, he simply dragged her into his bedroom next door. In truth, what he wanted most was to hold her while they slept.
Even the good-tempered Naomi Shaw couldn't help but flare up after being treated so domineeringly time and again. She flung his hand away. "Julian Donovan, even if I agreed to give you another chance, that doesn't mean I'm just going to jump into bed with you!"
He kept taking advantage of her like this. 'What does he take me for? A woman who'll sleep with anyone?'
Her outburst didn't make Julian angry. Instead, his eyes instantly lit up with joy. He came over, grabbed her by the shoulders, and asked, "Naomi, what did you say? Say that again."
The delighted surprise on his face made Naomi suddenly realize what she'd just said in her anger. She had originally planned to tell Julian only after she returned to Wincastle and spoke with Sean Donovan.
