Chapter 18

• In under three minutes, we were already in his bed and Xavier put his ring in his finger.
• Xavier's confession ignited a fire within me, and before I could utter a single word in response, his lips found mine with relentless passion. Our tongues danced together, tasting and exploring as if feeding off each other's desires. His hands roamed over my body, slipping beneath my blouse, fingers lightly brushing against the sensitive skin before expertly unhooking my bra. My nipples instantly hardened under his touch while he continued to tease them between his thumb and forefinger.
• The rush of desire between Xavier and me turned frantic, as if we couldn't shed our clothes fast enough. He unzipped my jeans, slowly sliding them down my thighs until I stepped free, leaving me in only my damp panties. I fumbled with his belt, my fingers trembling with urgency as I unbuckled it and then slipped it through the loops before tugging his pants down. He stood before me, hard and erect, desire burning strongly in his eyes like molten gold.
