Chapter 210

Xavier watched Lily, the woman he had adored for two years, sitting before him. She was someone he couldn't bring himself to let go. After suppressing his desires for so long, it was only natural that even the slightest physical contact would make him lose control. His gaze darkened as he sat with his back to the dining room window, sunlight streaming over him. Lily sat on his lap, nearly at eye level with him. His eyes traced her figure, stirring something deep inside. She resisted, her hands pressed against his chest as she tried to push him away. Instinctively, he raised his leg slightly, his hands finding her hips and pulling her closer, forcing her into submission. "Why try to run?" Xavier's back was to the sunlight, his features blurred by the light, but his sharp eyes held a dangerous edge. "Do you really think this is imprisonment?" He couldn't help but think to himself how Lily had mastered the art of playing hard to get. However, he had no intention of letting her go.
