My body was on fire. It was as though all I needed was just one more heave of oxygen and I would explode. John Declan must have known this however and must love torturing me because it was at that very moment when I was close to falling over the edge that he yelled. "Beautiful! That's a wrap Monsieur and Mademoiselle! It was a pleasure." And I was brought back to earth. The reality of things suddenly dawned on me, causing me to realize where I was and what the hell I was doing. Xavier cleared his throat awkwardly, his breathing, warm against my neck, slowly faded away as he let go of my babies and pulled away. His face was tinged pink but heck, I was sure mine was as red as a tomato. So much for staying away from him and staying aloof. All I had wanted was to be free from him
