Can’t Win Me Back

The cloudless sky was a brilliant blue.

After a long drive, the luxury car came to a stop outside a private manor.

"We're here," Jonah announced.

Jonah's broad frame dwarfed Julien's as he reached across to unbuckle Julien's seatbelt.

All he felt was that the atmosphere around him was warm.

It felt even warmer than sunshine.

"Why isn't there anyone around? We're not in the wrong place, are we?" Julien blinked, a flicker of unease crossing his features.

Julien was intelligent, but around his lover, his mind seemed to cloud over.

Jonah easily manipulated him, taking advantage of Julien's lovestruck state.

"We're not.

Maybe we're just early.

Let's go." Jonah exited the car first, then circled around to open the door for Julien.

This grand gesture left Julien speechless.

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Why are you acting so attentive, Mr.

Taylor? People aren't usually this nice without an ulterior motive." Jonah took Julien's hand and helped him out.
