I didn’t expect Summer to dare to bring the TV
crew to my house to film the show without
telling me.
I was still a little confused when I got her call
early in the morning.
I had been up until dawn the night before.
Summer’s voice was sickeningly sweet.
“Sis, my husband and I are coming over to see
you later. You know I’m on that TV show now,

right? Heh, I’m gonna let the whole country see
if my brother–in–law is mistreating you.”
Her plan was easy to guess.
She wanted to kick me when I was down, alone at home.
She wanted to show off how happy her married life was.
But…
The man next to me, hearing the noise, hugged me from behind.
He reached out and rubbed my aching back, his voice low and sexy.
“Who is it? Juniper, getting up so early? You’re not tired.”
Summer paused for a moment on the other end

of the phone, then said meaningfully, “Sis, it
looks like you couldn’t resist…”
What?
Did she think I had a boy toy at home?
The man’s cool fingers brushed over my lips
and then moved down.
I started to lose focus, forgetting I was still on
the phone.
The man chuckled and took the phone from my
hand and hung up.
He kissed me.
His breath was hot.
Like waves hitting a boat.
I instinctively grabbed his hair.
My voice was hoarse.
“Xavier!–”
He groaned softly.
The air heated up, and the sounds of breathing
and heartbeats intertwined.
I was a little dazed.
Images kept popping into my mind…
The night before, I had taken a few drinks to
help me sleep.
When I stood up, I fell on the floor.
The next moment, the bathroom door was
opened, and I was picked up.
It was Xavier.
Seeing his cold, handsome face, I thought I was
dreaming.
With such a beautiful man in front of me, I
kissed him.
He said something quietly.
I didn’t hear it and started touching him.
Xavier held me under the shower.
His eyes were full of desire.
His movements were fierce.
I couldn’t think, my mind was blank.
A sentence flashed through my mind: “Xavier is
so good.”
