…Mekayla POV…

Xavien is not himself after the encounter with Raymond. I do not know if he is scared that he is going to lose me or if he won't be able to protect me.

Yes, that woman and Raymond have gone too far, but there is no way that I am giving into their schemes. To think that she went as far as to do something like this is beyond me; I doubt that my father and Catalina know about it, for they would have never approved.

The fact that it has gone and spiraled so out of control does scare me. First, it was Damian coming after me, and now it is Raymond. I can honestly say that I have truly tested Xavien's love for me. I sometimes wonder if I am not pushing him too much, but I know him, and he is a man that will not do something if he does not feel it is right.

I take in a deep breath and press her even deeper. "Princess, I want to own you, possess you, body and soul."Instead of answering, she reaches out to me, putting her small, warm hand on the back of my neck. Then she kisses me, first lightly, then more urgent. Her hips are tilted against mine; her breasts are against my chest; her whole body is sending a message that is undeniable.Then she nibbles my ear, touching my face softly with her fingertips, and she whispers, "Mr. Caruso, you are mine.""Oh, princess," I gasp as she takes another deep breath and pushes me back into the chair behind me.So I sit back into the chair and watch as her hands travel up her body; she caresses her exposed skin. Then she slides her hands to cup her breasts, rolling her nipples between her fingers

Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding, and it's nothing like I've ever experienced; every square inch of my body dissolves into his.
