Madeline stopped breathing.
Fireworks shot through her as she felt him deepen the kiss, parting her mouth. His arms wrapped around her, sending shivers through her nerves. And yet, Madeline did more than try to stop him. Instead, she found herself kissing him back. It evoked sensations she never knew she was capable of feeling. She balled her fists in his shirt, making him pull her closer to him in response. Madeline's breath was stolen away, and she felt knees weaken and giddiness swirl in her stomach.
'Let this never end, please,' she thought in her head, her lips still brushing against his soft ones.
Madeline and Xavier separated from each other, and Madeline covered her mouth with her fist, still unable to process what happened. And yet, there was still a huge grin on her face.

"INDIANA!" Briar called urgently.
