Once he’d spotted her, taking a little extra time to make sure she got back safely was only reasonable-there were plenty of ways to handle it.

He really didn’t need to put himself on the line like this…

Yet he acted almost on impulse, already moving before she could even speak.

Noticing Isabella hesitate, Xavier’s expression tightened. “What’s the hold-up? Give me your hand.”

After a brief pause, Isabella pushed her thoughts aside and reached out. Xavier’s hand closed firmly around hers.

She barely had to pull-his strong arm drew her straight against his chest.

With one arm practically useless, she lost her footing almost immediately. Luckily, his grip held steady, giving her another chance to find balance.

“Oh!”

Isabella gasped, but really, if anyone should’ve cried out in pain, it was Xavier-not her.

She slid down a couple of inches before he hauled her back against him with everything he had.

His breathing grew heavier near her neck and ear.

Isabella knew that even someone as tall and strong as Xavier couldn’t support the weight of two people for long.

Especially with that shoulder injury-his muscles weren’t meant for this kind of strain.

But his voice gave nothing away. It stayed calm, almost steady.

“Take your time. I’ve got you. Just step across slowly.”

Something in his tone stirred a surge of determination in her. Leaning forward, she grabbed the wall railing and finally planted one foot firmly on solid ground.

Just then, the housemaids rushed into the room. Several froze in shock at the sight of Xavier using his own body to keep Isabella from falling.

The whole setup looked way too dangerous.

They snapped out of it quickly, though, scrambling forward to help pull Isabella safely inside.

Once both feet were firmly on the floor, Isabella turned and immediately offered Xavier her hand.

Even with one good arm, she was willing to risk straining it-right then, it didn’t matter.

Xavier ignored her outstretched hand and didn’t lean on the maids either. Bracing himself, he swung back over the railing in one controlled motion.

“Are you all right?”

Seeing his face had paled slightly, Isabella instinctively moved closer to check his shoulder.

She was quick-before Xavier could react, she was up on her toes in front of him, tugging his shirt open.

When she saw the bandage still clean, with no fresh blood seeping through, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

“Mrs. Moore…”

A maid’s voice snapped Isabella back to the present.

With Xavier’s shirt hanging open, his toned upper body was now completely exposed.

Isabella’s face flushed bright red, warmth spreading all the way to the tips of her ears. She’d just… undressed him in front of everyone.

The maids promptly averted their eyes.

“Mrs. Moore, we’ll be right outside!”

“No hurry at all-take your time with the master.”

They threw out those words in a rush, practically tripping over each other to get out of the

room.

“Wait-” Isabella began, but before she could finish, the door shut firmly behind them.

They’d even closed it on their way out.

A flicker of surprise showed in Xavier’s eyes, soon replaced by a faint, amused glint.

“Don’t get the wrong idea,” Isabella said, flustered for no reason she could name. She turned her face away and reached out to button his shirt back up.

But before her fingers even brushed the fabric, her wrist was caught.

Xavier drew her gently toward him. “How are you going to button my shirt if you won’t look at

me?”

His voice was low and soft, each word like a quiet tug on something deep inside her.

Isabella lifted her eyes to his and instantly got lost in that intense gaze. Just him looking at her like that made her feel as if she were sinking.

She held still for a second, then forced herself to focus and started on the buttons.

Without meaning to, she began stepping backward. Xavier didn’t pull her back-instead, he matched her steps, moving steadily forward. By the time she reached the last two buttons, her back met the edge of a display shelf against the wall.

Xavier’s hand came up to cushion her head before it could knock against the wood-his palm settled right behind her.

Her fingers trembled. Even looking down, she was completely aware of him-every shift, every breath.

As they leaned against the shelf, it let out a faint creak.

Isabella knew it was filled with delicate, expensive decorations. Breaking even one would be a

real shame.

She didn’t dare lean back any further, yet Xavier kept closing the space between them. She tried to fasten the last button two or three times and kept fumbling.

“Your heart’s racing.”

Xavier’s voice came softly, right beside her ear.

It was feather-light, and it sent a flutter straight through her chest.

“You’re too close.”

Isabella drew a careful breath, ignoring his comment, and finally managed to fasten the last button. But then Xavier caught her hand and pressed it against himself-right at his waistband, that sensitive place just below his stomach.

Isabella went completely still. She tried to tug her hand free, but Xavier’s voice was pure provocation. “You’re lying, Isabella. You’re still in love with me.”

Without another word, Isabella brought her heel down hard on his foot.
