CHAPTER 65

"Xavian." 

Xavian wasn't there. 

Poppy's blinking became rapid as she slinked off the bed, peering around the room for any sign of him. But there was none. 

It was almost like he hadn't been there at all. But that wasn't true, because she could still smell his conclonge, feel his fingers caressing her scalp, running through her hair and lurring her to sleep. 

His lips on hers, sucking and kissing her like he couldn't get enough, they were al;l; still very fresh in her memory. 

Maybe he just went to the bathroom? Or maybe he is in the living room. 

Poppy told herself that's what it was. But checking around and finding no trace of him made her so uneasy, until she dropped on the couch almost on the verge of a meltdown.
