The night air was thick with tension as Xavier stood there, his wrists bound in cold metal handcuffs, facing a police officer who clearly sensed there was more to this story than met the eye. The accusation against him hung in the air like a dark cloud, and poor Xavier knew he had to think fast if he wanted to regain his freedom.
"Of course, I can prove it!" Xavier declared, his voice filled with confidence that he hoped would convince the officer to give him a chance to prove his innocence.
The police officer studied him carefully, curious about what evidence this young man could possibly present. After all, the accusation was serious, and finding proof of his innocence seemed like a long shot. But Xavier was willing to risk everything, even his last shred of dignity.
"Take my phone out of my bag. Unlock it with my face and go find a secret photo album. You'll know after you see that," Xavier said, making a split-second decision that would change everything. He was determined to regain his freedom, even if it meant exposing the deepest secrets of his heart.
"A secret photo album?" The police officer's curiosity was piqued, and Leia, who was standing nearby, was equally intrigued. But before the officer could even reach for the phone, Leia snatched it up, her movements quick and decisive. Using his face to unlock the device, she demanded, "Which secret photo album?"
Xavier's handsome face flushed with embarrassment as he gritted his teeth and admitted, "Umm... It's called 'my bedtime dessert.' Just show it to the police officer."
Leia found the hidden photo album and tapped on it eagerly. But the moment the images loaded on the screen, her own face turned bright red, and any traces of alcohol-induced boldness immediately evaporated. "You... Why did you..." she stammered, turning away with a complicated expression that mixed shock, embarrassment, and something else she couldn't quite name. She simply couldn't look at those photographs anymore.
The police officer, growing increasingly curious about all the fuss, took the phone from Leia's trembling hands. He began swiping through the photos one by one, his thumb gliding across the screen as he examined each image. A few moments later, a broad, knowing smile spread across his weathered face. "Well, kid. You look like a Casanova, but it turns out you're actually a loyal man. It's rare to find a man like you!"
At that moment, Xavier, who was normally shameless and confident, felt the heat of embarrassment wash over him like never before. He'd rather face a hundred business rivals than stand here, his most private moments exposed for everyone to see.
"Thank you, sir. Can you let go of me now?" he asked, his voice strained.
"It was a misunderstanding. Sorry, kid." The police officer finally unlocked Xavier's handcuffs and patted his shoulder warmly. His expression turned fatherly as he offered some sage advice: "Women don't always mean what they say. Just try to talk it out. I'll be rooting for you... You can win her over with sincerity. If you love her, you have to say so."
Then he turned to Leia, who was still blushing and keeping quiet like a shy schoolgirl. "Girl, don't be pretentious. As another man, I can tell that he loves you very much!"
Leia timidly nodded, her eyes downcast. "Thank you for the advice. I realize that now."
Meanwhile, Xavier was overwhelmed with speechlessness. He gingerly touched his sore wrists, which had nearly been dislocated during the entire ordeal. *This is so embarrassing! I'm a Casanova who's been enjoying life all these years. I've never been so embarrassed in my life...*
"Well, you guys should talk it out. I'll get on with my work." The police officer smiled happily as he said goodbye to them, walking away into the night and leaving the two of them alone.
Soon, Xavier and Leia were the only ones left on the quiet road. The soft glow of the streetlamp cast their shadows on the ground, making them overlap in a way that looked almost like they were embracing. Suddenly, an awkward tension engulfed them. Neither of them spoke, unsure of what to say after everything that had just transpired.
"Be careful!" A car suddenly zoomed past, and without thinking, Xavier quickly pulled Leia behind him, shielding her from any potential danger. The protective gesture came so naturally to him that he didn't even have to think about it.
"Umm, thank you..." Leia kept her head low, looking timid and bashful in a way that was completely unlike her usual tomboyish self.
"Give me my phone." Xavier was quite shy too as he took his phone back from her trembling hands.
That secret photo album—it was full of Leia's photos that he had taken discreetly over time. Photos of her eating, laughing, or sleeping, completely unaware that she was being watched with such tender affection. The most romantic one was a picture snapped under a dim, intimate light: Leia was sleeping peacefully in Xavier's arms like a contented little kitten. It was then that he had kissed her softly on the cheek before capturing their first photo together. From that picture alone, one could see just how tender and doting he was toward her. Anyone who saw those photographs in Xavier's album would surely be charmed by the depth of his love for her.
"Are you sober now?" After Xavier locked his phone and tucked it away, he averted his gaze, doing his best to act as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. But his racing heart betrayed him.
"Yeah, I'm sober now." Leia pushed her hair behind her ear and nodded shyly, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment and something warmer. "It's late now. Let me give you a ride home?"
"Okay." She nodded again, unusually docile and compliant. In that moment, Leia's mind was racing with new revelations. She had always believed that Xavier never regarded her as a woman, that he didn't desire her in the way a man desires the woman he loves. But after seeing those photographs, she understood everything. He had been longing for her for so long... he had captured her most vulnerable moments and cherished them in a secret album he called his "bedtime dessert." Of course she would feel shy. Everything she thought she knew about their relationship had just been turned upside down in the most unexpected way.
Xavier hailed a cab and told the driver to head to Osborne Mansion. Although Leia had her own house, she spent most of her time staying at her family's estate. Geronimo had five daughters before Leia and Liam were born, so naturally, he cherished the twins greatly. With Liam having been traveling around the world for a full year now and not being around at the moment, Geronimo and his wife focused all their attention squarely on Leia instead. If Leia didn't come home at night, they would call her endlessly demanding to know where she was. Even that night, they had been calling her ceaselessly until Leia finally turned off her phone entirely, needing a moment of peace.
Both Xavier and Leia sat in the back seat, their shoulders leaning toward each other almost subconsciously, as if drawn by an invisible force. "Are you feeling sick?" He touched her flushed cheeks, genuinely worried that the alcohol might be making her ill.
"I'm fine. I just feel a bit hot and dizzy." Leia mumbled, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. Her tight white shirt strained slightly against her body with the movement, showing off her natural curves in a way that was impossible to ignore.
"Now you feel sick. Why didn't you stop yourself when you were drinking?" Xavier scolded her gently, but his actions contradicted his harsh words as he allowed her to lean her head against his broad shoulder. "Close your eyes and rest for a while if you're sleepy."
"Hmm." Pursing her lips into a satisfied smile, Leia leaned into him more fully. In that moment, obedience had become her closest companion.
Xavier, however, found himself in quite a predicament. He could feel her curvy figure pressed against him, and there was no denying that she was indeed a wildly attractive woman. His throat inevitably felt dry. He swallowed hard, trying to maintain his composure before blurting out, "You... You're always behaving like a tomboy, but now, you're being so polite. I'm not used to it!"
Leia didn't open her eyes as she gently pinched his arm in protest. "Don't take my photos secretly... You can... do it openly."
Xavier felt his entire face grow hot at her words, and he quickly looked away in embarrassment. "Just forget about that. Pretend that you saw nothing."
Leia murmured cheekily, a playful smile dancing on her lips, "Okay, my bedtime dessert."
Xavier was utterly speechless. This woman was going to be the death of him, he was sure of it.
After ten more minutes, the cab finally pulled to a stop in front of the grand Osborne Mansion. Leia found herself not wanting this precious moment to end. As she stepped out of the car, she struggled to say goodbye. "Umm... Do you want to come in?"
"No, it's late. It won't look good," Xavier deflected, trying to maintain some distance.
"I'm not afraid, so you don't have to be afraid either." Her voice was determined, almost challenging.
"Er..."
"Just stop talking. Get out of the car." Leia's ladylike composure crumbled as she grabbed him and pulled him out onto the sidewalk with surprisingly strong arms. Her eyes sparkled with mischief and desire as she declared boldly, "It's fine if you don't want to come in, but you have to kiss me. Kiss me until I'm satisfied, then I'll let you go."
Before Xavier could even process what was happening, Leia stood on her tiptoes, grabbed the collar of his shirt, and pulled him down toward her, capturing his lips in a deep, passionate kiss that stole the breath from both of them.
The night around them seemed to fade away as all barriers between them finally crumbled. In that moment, under the pale moonlight and soft streetlights, the secret feelings that had been hidden for so long finally came bursting to the surface.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, what a chapter! My heart is still racing as I write this review. The scene where the police officer discovered Xavier's secret photo album was equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. To see the famously shameless Xavier reduced to a blushing mess was priceless! But more than that, this chapter beautifully revealed the vulnerability hidden beneath Xavier's carefully constructed mask. The secret album wasn't just evidence of his innocence—it was proof of a love so deep and so private that he could only express it through photographs taken without her knowledge.
Leia's transformation in this chapter is equally compelling. She's always suspected that Xavier didn't desire her, but discovering those photos shattered that belief completely. The revelation that she's literally his "bedtime dessert," the last thing he looks at before sleep, moves her deeply. And that ending! Leia demanding a kiss until she's satisfied is such a power move—it shows how much her perception of their relationship has changed. She's no longer content to wait in uncertainty; she's taking what she wants.
The only thing keeping this chapter from absolute perfection is that we still haven't gotten full clarity on Xavier's actual feelings in words, only in actions. But honestly, actions sometimes speak louder than words, and his actions here scream LOVE in capital letters.
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Given that passionate kiss Leia demanded at the end of this chapter, I predict the next installment will finally force these two to have an open and honest conversation about their feelings. Leia has clearly shed all her doubts about whether Xavier desires her, and she'll likely push him to confess his love openly rather than hiding behind secret photo albums and subtle gestures. Meanwhile, Xavier, whose pride has taken quite a beating tonight, will need to decide whether he can finally let down his walls completely and admit just how deeply he cares for Leia. Will they begin a real relationship, or will some new misunderstanding throw a wrench in their almost-love story? With this drama-filled tale, nothing is ever that simple, so I'm bracing myself for whatever twist comes next! Whatever happens, I'll be right here ready to continue this incredible journey with you all.
