His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 675

Sinclair POV

Julian’s eyes almost looked shocked after I asked the question. “Are you actually considering it?”

I put my bag down on the chair beside me. “It depends on what you are offering. Don’t give me the ‘stand by your side’ nonsense, either. I want to know what being Luna here would mean. Would I have authority? What security would you give me? I’ve already been let down enough in my life. You know this already, since you investigated me.”

Julian’s eyes danced with hope. He grabbed me by my waist and held me tight. I put my hands on his chest, and I am praying to the Moon Goddess that Adrian isn’t feeling any kind of pain. I still have three minutes before the alarm sounds.

“I will give you anything you want, Sinclair. Tell me, what do you want in a mate? Loyalty? I’ll worship you. Money? I will give it all to you. Security? I will make sure you have the best damn Luna Guard you could ever hope for. If you want the latest and greatest in everything technical, you will have it.”

Two minutes. “All of that sounds lovely, Julian. You mention a lot of material and tangible things, but there are things you don’t mention at all. Respect, for example. What about treating me as your equal? Love? If those things aren’t crossing your mind, then how can I trust you not to betray me?”

Julian’s eyes soften further. “Sinclair, I respect you already. You are the most brilliant mind I have ever met. As my Luna, you will be my equal. As for love, if you give me the chance, I will pour every ounce I have into this relationship. Say yes, and I will show you right now.”

One minute. “You mean that, Julian? You’re not toying with me? I don’t just want loyalty in a working or united sense. I need your loyalty as a man to a woman.”

I lower my eyes and look down, letting my eyes sadden. I think I’m doing a good job, but in the back of my mind, I have been counting down the seconds.

Julian pulls my chin up, so our eyes meet. “I assure you, no other woman will ever compare to you, Sinclair. Say yes, and I’ll give you a grand Luna Ceremony and mark you tonight. I will live for you.”

If I were truly interested in Julian, these words would make me melt, especially if I hadn’t met Adrian. I honestly don’t feel a single emotion, though.

“What do you say, Sinclair?”

“Okay,” I whispered.

Julian gave me the widest smile, and I’m counting in my head. He pulled me closer to kiss him. Three…two…one…

“SINCLAIR!” Angelo said in a panicked voice as he burst through Julian’s door.

“Angelo!” he growled at the interruption, and I stepped back, relieved. That was so close. “What is the meaning of you bursting in here?!”
