Chapter 46 As You Wish

• Meredith slowly woke in the dimly lit room. She sat up and realized she was back in her bed. Massaging her temples and rubbing her eyes, she gasped as the memories of what had happened flooded her mind. Her cheeks flushed, and her body still trembled from her encounter with Damien.
• She asked herself, “Did… did we really do it?”
• Suddenly, the creak of the door behind her broke the silence. Her heart skipped a beat as the Mate Pull surged through her system. She turned slowly, and there, standing in the doorway, was Xavier. He leaned casually against the doorframe, arms crossed over his broad chest, watching her with a small, knowing smile. His piercing eyes roamed over her, lingering on her disheveled state, flushed cheeks, and parted lips.
