Chapter 224

• MILLICENT
• Xander's mouth is hungry in a way that makes my knees buckle, and when he deepens it, I grip his shirt just to stay upright.
• Xander’s mouth crashes into mine like he’s been pacing for this exact second, like he spent the whole damn day replaying the moment he lost me in that classroom. His fingers slide into my hair, his thumb tilting my chin up because of course he likes control even when he pretends he doesn’t.
