Chapter 466

In the haze of a dream, Scarlett felt the brush of a gentle kiss. Warm lips pressed softly against her cheek, carrying a familiar scent. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Xavier's handsome face and deep, steady gaze. "You're awake?" His voice was low and magnetic, and his eyes were laced with amusement. Scarlett rubbed the sleep from her eyes, her vision gradually sharpening. Surprise lit up her expression. "You're back," she whispered and wrapped her arms tightly around Xavier, only for him to gently lift her into his arms and carry her to the bed. He leaned down again, kissing her in a manner that was tender and full of longing. Scarlett melted into him, her hands instinctively wrapping around his neck. "Xavier," she whispered his name sensually. When he pulled back slightly, she whimpered. In response, Xavier kissed her even more fervently. It wasn't until Scarlett felt a strange pressure against her stomach that everything came to a sudden halt. Xavier's body had reacted.
