Then, Xavier leaned in close to Hera's ear, his breath warm and unsteady. "Baby, should we go back and finish this in bed?" he whispered, his voice low and laced with desire. He wasn't just teasing her; this was also a calculated move to provoke Alexandre.
Xavier wanted to make it clear just how intimate things could get between him and Hera, and if Alexandre thought he could pursue her, this level of closeness would be the bare minimum. And it could go even further behind closed doors.
Xavier's restraint was already wearing thin. Just a few more moments of this, and he wasn't sure he'd be able to hold back. His body was burning with need, and the only thing on his mind now was getting Hera alone, fast.
But since Xavier was doing all this right in front of Alexandre, who wasn't part of her circle of "boyfriends," Hera felt utterly mortified. She didn't have the face to let someone else witness such an intimate moment, especially not in public.
