CHAPTER 145
Shocked by the sudden contact, Raven stilled, unable to take a breather as she felt his strong arms wrap over her.
For the next few seconds, neither of them spoke as they each listened to the other person's heartbeat.
It felt calm but at the same time, it made them uneasy.
She did not understand why he would act that way all of a sudden or the reason behind why he would still stay close by.
Did that mean he had forgiven her and everything that happened the previous day with Arrow and the others?
She shook her head internally and placed her hand over his to pull him away when she heard him inhale deeply, forcing her to stop.
"Xavier."
"Just stay still please." She heard him say and obeyed.
For the next few moments, obeying him was what she did until he inhaled in her scent and pressed his face into her hair, close to her ear.
