Chapter 73 With Olivia But His Mind Body And Soul Yearning For Cathleen

• Shivers rippled across Cathleen's skin, each wave a sharp reminder of her body's betrayal. She curled tighter under the sheets, willing warmth into her limbs, but the fever that had taken hold refused to relent. Eyes heavy with unshed sleep, she lay in the dark, cocooned within the four walls that seemed to press closer with every strained breath.
• The fucking night was alive with the goddamn sounds of betrayal. Olivia's piercing screams echoed through the fucking silence, punctuated by the relentless thud of the headboard slamming against the wall. Each fucking beat was a reminder of Xavier's frenzied passion, a symphony of flesh that spat in the face of Cathleen's lonely solitude.
• Xavier's normally aloof demeanor shattered as primal urges consumed him. The scent of Cathleen's skin haunted him, lingering on his fingertips like a ghostly reminder of what he couldn't have. Despite the heat radiating from his current lover, her defiance and sharp tongue still cut through his defenses and settled deep in his mind. With each thrust into Olivia, it was Cathleen's name that echoed in his ears, a relentless and maddening litany that fueled his desire and frustration. He was helpless against the overwhelming pull towards her, a force that threatened to consume him completely.
