Chapter 107 Making His Cat Wants More

• Cathleen's fingers clawed at the cool marble on the counter, her knuckles whitening with the grip. Her breath came out in ragged pants, betraying the tumultuous storm raging within her. She was trembling, every nerve ending in screaming for release—a release only Xavier could grant. His touch—those hands that had charted every inch of her skin—knew precisely how to shatter her composure and make her unravel.
• "Damn it," she cursed under her breath, a venomous whisper that spoke volumes of her internal conflict. This dalliance with Xavier was spiraling out of control, threatening the ordered life she'd so meticulously built. Cathleen Devereaux, a celebrity lawyer, unshakable and formidable—now unsteady, craving the very thing that was undoing her.
• She despised the transformation—the way she'd become pliant under his command. It was antithetical to her nature; she wasn't designed to be anyone's submissive. Yet, since that first surrender, her defiance has been slowly eroding, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.
