When Scarlett looked at herself in the mirror, she could see her pale face. Surprisingly, she noticed parts of her body were covered in love bites from Xander. 'Gosh!' she thought to herself while checking her body.
Xander leaned against the door frame and watched Scarlett as she brushed her teeth. He couldn't help but notice the faint bruise on her collarbone area. Instantly he felt guilty leaving traces there.
After she finished, Xander pulled her into his arms and pressed her close.
"I'm sorry, Scarlett," he whispered in her ear. "I accidentally hurt you last night. I couldn't hold myself..."
Scarlett blushed, realizing the whole meaning of his words. "It's okay," she reassured him. "But please, in the future no marks on my neck. It would be hard to hide. Luckily, it's winter, so I can cover up with a turtleneck." She smiled, grateful for the chilly weather.
