DESIRE UNDER THE SAME ROOF
"Tell me you don’t feel the same way," Xavier murmured, his dark eyes locked on mine.
"Tell me you don’t feel your heart racing every time you see me. Tell me you don’t think about me for hours, imagining things… imagining me touching you. Tell me you don’t feel jealous when you see me with another girl who isn’t you."
He stepped closer, his lips curling into that infuriating smirk.
"Tell me, Princess," he whispered.
My throat went dry. My words stuttered.
"I… I don’t feel anything for you," I barely managed.
"You're such a terrible liar," he said, his grin darkening.

Xavier Knight: arrogant, reckless and rebellious. The one person I shouldn’t want. The one person I can’t stop noticing.
He’s not supposed to be mine. I’m not supposed to want him.
And yet… every glance, every word, every heartbeat pulls me closer to danger.
