CHAPTER 75
~Jade's POV~
Xade's lips moved against mine desperately, as though he had been holding himself back far longer than I realized. His kiss deepened, slowly at first, then demanding, his mouth claiming mine in a way that made my knees weaken beneath me.
My hands tightened instinctively around his shoulders.
I felt him everywhere. His heat. His strength. The steady rise and fall of his chest against mine.
I kissed him back just as fiercely, opening my mouth to let his tongue tangle deeply with mine. My hands instinctively found their way into his hair, gripping the soft strands.
And then Xade shifted. His hips pressed forward again, grounding his erection firmly against my stomach this time, trapping me between his body and the wall. The sudden pressure pulled a soft gasp from my lips.
His forehead rested briefly against mine as he breathed out slowly, as though fighting for control. "I want you, Jade," he whispered huskily. "I want you so much."
