"Well," she said softly, her voice still carrying that teasing lilt, "that was just one part of your surprise."
Xavier's brow arched, his breathing still uneven. "One part…?"
"Mhm." She straightened slowly, her body brushing against his as she rose, leaning in close until her lips nearly touched his ear. "I told you… I have another surprise for you."
