Chapter 76 Forced to Love

Jos stood frozen in the center of the room as the brilliant blaze of two large green eyes penetrated into her very soul. The determined set of his jaw and large stride of his steps was disarming, but Jos couldn't bring herself to move. She stopped fumbling with the tee in her hands as his lips turned up into a toothy smile and a wicked twinkle lit his eyes. Her face heated as he took the shirt from her hand and tossed it to the floor with the discarded dress. Her breath caught in her throat as he pulled her around to face him, forcing her hands away from her body.

Xavier could feel the blood from earlier boil in his veins as he struggled to maintain his usual calm facade. His eyes traveled up and down her body. "It should be a crime to cover up so much beauty." A muscle jerked in his jaw as he took her in. "But of course I'm sure you've been told as much before, haven't you?" His grip tightened on her wrists.
