Chapter 74 Fractured Heat

• I could feel the rogues closing in—their howls had intensified, sending a chill down my spine. But it wasn’t the sound of them that had my heart pounding. It was Xavier. The heat of his body, the intensity of his gaze, the way he made everything else fade into nothingness. The world around us felt distant and unimportant compared to the burning tension between us.
• Every inch of my skin still throbbed with the lingering sensation of his touch. I could feel it even now, the memory of his lips on mine, his hands on my body. He was a force, a storm, and I had no idea how to fight it. My breath came fast and uneven, but it wasn’t the rogues making my pulse race. It was Xavier.
• “Xavier...” I breathed his name, barely managing to get the words out. My voice sounded rough, desperate. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to pull away from him or pull him closer.
