Chapter 77

Summer Frost POV

A smile formed on my lips as I woke up to the handsome face of Xander as he sleeps next to me while sitting on the chair and his head on the bed. I tried to move my hand, but realized that he was holding it, so I relaxed.

My heart flustered in excitement and my cheeks heat up as memories of last night or hours ago rather, flooded my mind. We finally kissed after several years, and d a m n! I didn’t know I missed it so much. Yes, I always knew I did miss every single touch of his, but I had no idea it was that deep.

How his lips tasted, the way he held me in his arms like he never wanted to let go, and that magical feeling I had at that time was everything. I wanted the moment to last till eternity, but sadly, we had to stop so I could rest.

‘Hunter’ It was unfair that I was just thinking about him now since hours ago, but what could I do when my thoughts and everything were occupied by the presence of Xander?

“Where could he be?” I muttered. He saved me, so I should be worried about him, right?

“You are awake?” I felt butterflies in my stomach when Xander raised his head to me, his sleepy charming eyes gazing into mine tiredly. His hair was disheveled as a result of his sleeping position, and he looked super hot as always.

“Hmm… Good morning,” I turned my face away, embarrassed. I could not bring myself to look him in the eyes after what happened between us last

night.

“Good morning. How are you feeling now? Do you want me to call the doctor?” I felt a rush of adrenaline as he placed the back of his palm on my forehead to feel my temperature briefly.

“No, I’m fine,” My voice came out almost in a whisper, my heart pulsating hard against my chest.

“Hmm… Are you sure you are not feeling pain anywhere?” He asked for the second time to confirm, and I nodded.

My stomach grumbled, and I slowly rubbed it while holding my gaze low

“You must be hungry. I will go get you something to eat,” He tried to stand up, but I held his hand before I could hold myself back.

“Is everything alright?” He looked at me, worried.

“Hmm… I’m fine. Uhm… It’s nothing. Thank you,” I slowly let go of his hand even though I desperately wanted to tell him to stay with me. A second without him might feel like a torture to me..
