"Don't think you can get away from me so easily love." He stated with a smirk. It was then I realized that his bare hands were touching my exposed waist because of my present attire which just happened to be a sports bra and tights. Oh no.

"Touch me again and I will not hesitate to cut you," I stated calmly with a blank stare directly into his eyes, while emphasizing each word forcefully.

Xander is desperate to get Cleo back but what happens when she returns and is no longer who he thought she was. Will he continue to persist or let her go?

What if the one whose touch burns is the only one who can quench your hearts thirst.
