eyes and raspy voice. If only I had a whip in my hand, I’d make sure he groveled at my feet. But forget it. I no longer need to play such games. Throwing her phone aside, Winnie raised her hands to touch his ears, which were already red just from her kiss.Amidst the soft sand below them, she could feel his large hand on the back of her head.To her, there was nothing more pleasurable and exhilarating than being with a desirable man, surrounded by the blue sky and turquoise ocean.It was not until she got a grip of her hormones that Winnie turned around to pick up her phone.Although it was on silent mode, she noticed the message light blinking and figured that it was likely from Christopher.She then sat up with her back facing Xavier.All of a sudden, a pair of hands grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back. Before she knew it, she was cocooned in a warm embrace.Xavier rested his chin on top of her head. “Are you happy staying here? If you are, let’s remain here for a few more days and just ignore everything else.”“I am.

Lowering his head, he held the back of her head and gave her another passionate kiss.When he was done, he instructed, “Stay here and don’t go out.”“All right.” Winnie had no desire to continue her act. “Please be careful.”Xavier was stunned by the sudden change in her temperament, for she was no longer the Dumbo he knew.If the driver had not interrupted them, she would have revealed the truth to him.He nodded in acknowledgment. “I will. Just wait here for me.”With that, he turned around and walked toward the mansion.It was not until he was gone that Winnie took out her phone and went
