...Xavien POV...
Leaving her in there with him is driving me insane. The man looks like nothing but trouble, no wonder she has not mentioned him before. And by the looks of him, he was obviously not worth mentioning in the first place.As I stand here against the door, I cannot hear much of what is going on. I keep on telling myself she is fine and if she is not that she will call me.And then, just as I feared, I hear her scream. I grab hold of my gun and burst through the door only to find the bastard raising his hand to my princess."Get your hands off her!"The minute he sees me raising my gun and walk toward him, he drops his hand and looks at me with a goddam grin on his."Wipe that shit off your face and get your fucking hands off her."The minute he lets go, she runs straight into my arms. Her soft historical sobs are enough to get my blood boiling. It seems that someone needs to be taught how to have respect for a woman. Unfortunately for...Mekayla POV...He is refusing to answer my questions; I need to know what he did to Damian. If Damian is dead, then it will be my fault; I should have never let him leave me alone with him, for I fully knew what Damian is capable of doing. But we did not hear any shots or, for that case, anybody screaming, but the construction outside was very loud you would not have heard a thing.And now he wants me to move my office to him. This was not quite how I saw myself starting my own practice. I always thought that I would have started it back home, but I know that somehow we will never move back there, and to be honest, I do not really want to.But Mr. Caruso is about to learn how dirty I can play to get the answers out of him. Is lowly sway my hips as I walk toward him where he is sitting on the chair?"You know what is going to be a pity.""No, tell me, princess.""We are never going to be able to have sex on my desk.""Well, we do have some time n
...Mekayla POV...So it seems that my mom's little pet, Raymond is that scumbag that I first thought him to be after all. No to say that he actually has some guts to go as far as this remains to be seen even after Xavien has warned him on more than one occasion to stay away from me. Well, it seems that the man is still left to learn his lesson; I just hope for my mom's, wait, that woman that I use to call my mother, I just hope for her sake that she is not the one that has told him where to find me.Now to say that Xavien is not scared of his head would be a blatant lie, and I hate to say that it all in only but a matter of one day. I hate that I have to put him through this. The past week has been nothing but a battle for him, to think that for what can now be the third time around, he has to fight for me to remain by his side. Yes, I need him now, but I also need him to know that I am not a scared little girl. I deal with a bunch of assholes every day; one stupid man is
…Xavien POV…She is like a breath of fresh air on a fluffy white cloud. That is what her naked body feels like as she lays pressed peacefully up against mine. I am not a man for soft and tender moments, but this is something I could easily get used to every day. I do sound like every part of me has gone all mushy inside, but this is how I shall feel about her for as long as I possibly can.As I see her slowly start to stir, I cannot but help get an enormous smile on my face. If I thought I looked like a mess when I wake, her head of fuzzy hair is the cutest thing I have ever seen."Morning, princess.""Hey, you.""How did you sleep?""Like a baby. What was it that you mumbled before I fell asleep last night?"Damn, I was so hoping she did not hear what I said last night. I never thought that I would say it to a woman, at least not so soon anyway. My ego is far too big to admit it to her now."Nothing; I think I might have just ki
…Xavien POV…Just as we step out of the car, Raymond feels he needs to make his authority and presence known as he walks out the front door; it is as if he was almost expecting our very arrival."What seems to be the matter?"It does not take me but a second to snap at him. "Oh, you know what is the matter, Raymond.""It is between my fiance and me.""Wow, when did that happen?" Mekayla says, surprised."No need to get clever with me, Mekayla. You know that you have been promised to me.""Mekayla is not your property, Raymond, and it would be wise for you not to refer to her as your fiancé.""The last time I checked, she was, and she is not yours, Caruso, so why do you not just do us both a favor and leave."Then, at last, Mrs. Winters decides to step in. "Now come on, boys, let's all play nice and take this inside."I show for Mekayla to go ahead of me into the house. But before I do, I adjust my weapon in the b
…Mekayla POV…Xavien is not himself after the encounter with Raymond. I do not know if he is scared that he is going to lose me or if he won't be able to protect me.Yes, that woman and Raymond have gone too far, but there is no way that I am giving into their schemes. To think that she went as far as to do something like this is beyond me; I doubt that my father and Catalina know about it, for they would have never approved.The fact that it has gone and spiraled so out of control does scare me. First, it was Damian coming after me, and now it is Raymond. I can honestly say that I have truly tested Xavien's love for me. I sometimes wonder if I am not pushing him too much, but I know him, and he is a man that will not do something if he does not feel it is right.So, after spending an endless amount of time in the bathroom this morning experiencing the very first joys of an expecting mother, I make my way back into the room where Xavien is sneakily
…Xavien POV…Sometimes you the moments that you are the most frightened of are the moments that feel right."Princess, I am not a man of many words. So please excuse me if I get this wrong.""Xavien, what is wrong?""Please, please just listen to me, please just listen until I am done."I shift but a fraction even closer than what could even be possible and take her soft hands into mine. My trembling hand that right now wish that I could just fall into an abyss and disappear. But I can do this; I have played this moment in my head over and over now for days.So here it goes."Princess, until I saw you first, love, at first sight, was just an overrated phrase for me.When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.From the moment we first met to this day, if there is one thing that has always been constant is love, care and excitement, and the fear of the unknown. I was single and likely to stay single until
…Mekayla POV…In front of me, I have Xavien on his knees.Who is more scared at this very moment is left to be seen. But apart from the fear of the unknown, not knowing what to say next, I know that there is only one thing in life that I care about the most.And that is Xavien.So I gently take his face between my hands and whisper to him,"Now it is your turn to keep quiet."With one deep, swallowed breath, I find the words that have never been so easy to roll from my lips."Xavien, you are the only precious thing in my life.I hold close to my heart. There's no moment that I don't think about you. I've always wished to experience that kind of love shown in movies, not knowing I was a step closer to experiencing it. It's so great to finally have someone as beautiful as you are to enjoy life with. You're my push, my strength, my best friend, and my fighter. You've seen me at my worst and terrific moments and watched me cry on the
…Xavien POV…"Princess, you are mine," I softly whisper. "You are mine alone, now and forever."Before she can protest, I pull her against the depths of my chest. I take in a deep breath and press her even deeper. "Princess, I want to own you, possess you, body and soul."Instead of answering, she reaches out to me, putting her small, warm hand on the back of my neck. Then she kisses me, first lightly, then more urgent. Her hips are tilted against mine; her breasts are against my chest; her whole body is sending a message that is undeniable.Then she nibbles my ear, touching my face softly with her fingertips, and she whispers, "Mr. Caruso, you are mine.""Oh, princess," I gasp as she takes another deep breath and pushes me back into the chair behind me.So I sit back into the chair and watch as her hands travel up her body; she caresses her exposed skin. Then she slides her hands to cup her breasts, rolling her nipples between her fingers
