Xavier's Surrogate RAW EMOTIONS
Halle breathed through her nose in an attempt to calm herself, she was being squished by both men with their heavy weights. They pinned her to the wall like she was about to become mashed potatoes.A gun.It was pressed against her rib, digging deeper past her dress and into her skin.“Start walking…” The green-eyed man said from behind her as he moved his feet and in turn moved Halle forward as well.“Don’t make a fucking sound or I’ll shoot you, then I’ll take you against your will,”OhGodohGodohGod!Why did this always happen to her?Halle sucked in a deep breath and began to walk slowly, following the men’s instructions even as her panic grew the closer they got to the darker part of the building.“Where are you taking me?” “Somewhere your man will give anything to find!” The other man snarled in her ears as he held her other hand and dragged her forward like she was a rag doll that didn’t feel any pain.Halle hissed as she felt the man’s nails dig into her skin, anger
Xavier's Surrogate THE MAFIA
It was quiet.The only thing that could be heard was their silent breathing, his eyes bored deep into hers and at that moment, Halle felt like her heart had come to a standstill.At that moment, nothing else mattered but she and the man whose fists were covered in the blood of another who hurt her, whose dark and seemingly empty eyes still burned with anger because of her, whose lips quivered slightly, and then his legs finally left that of the probably dead man on the floor.Xavier stood to his full height, making Halle’s hand slip from his shoulder, he caught it just in time and placed it on his chest, Halle could feel the hard and fast thumps of his heart beating against her palms.Her eyes widened slightly when she looked at their hands, the stark contrast his bloody hands and her now stained hand created.What had she just witnessed?She breathed out slowly, willing her feet to stay planted on the floor and not run for the hills like her reflexes told her to.Something tol
Xavier's Surrogate A YEAR
“That part of your life?”She knew what he meant but she wanted to hear it from him, maybe deep down she wanted to be wrong despite what the facts were pointing at.Maybe she wanted to hear him deny those notions that had begun forming in her head.But then again, the universe was a shady little bitch that always stopped at nothing to turn her life upside down no matter how many times he tries to get back up.Xavier’s lips pursed and his eyes left hers, he stared down at his knees but Halle kept looking at him.Was it that bad?“Ahem!” He cleared his throat and then shrugged his shoulders like he had just mentally said the words ‘fuck it!’“In the past thirty-two years of my life, no one has made me question everything as much as you have flower,” Xavier said, just dropping those heavy words and making Halle’s mind go into a spiral.“Our family has been around for a hundred years, we spent the last fifty climbing up every ladder that there is so we can come out on top, that a
Xavier's Surrogate NDA
Halle stared long and hard at the door after it closed behind Xavier.She sat there, rooted deeply in shock and not sure she would be able to snap herself out of it anytime soon.The conversation they’d just had was far from what she expected, far from what she imagined he would say to her when he finally decided to give her an explanation as to why she was chosen.He still didn’t give her an answer she understood but he said something else that made all of her questions feel like they were not worth asking.Halle let out a shaky breath and clenched the sheets beneath her fingers, her cold fingers that managed to pale in comparison to the coldness of his own body.He was dying.He is—Halle sucked in a sharp breath she struggled hard to process the information, never in a million years did she imagine that a man as infuriating yet as strong as he was would be weakened by such a thing.This just proved that he was more human than any other man she’s been close to, he’s experien
Xavier's Surrogate FULL-TIME
“How long ago do you think they’ve been following her?” Asked Xavier as he looked down at the pictures Monty had taken off Halle’s attackers and their phones. There were pictures of Halle walking to school, getting into cabs, and even some from her class and the bar she used to work at. Most of the pictures dated back to months if not a year, her hair was shorter…Why have they been following her? “At least two years up until the last time she went to write an exam,” Monty replied grimly, no doubt the same thought running through both their minds. How did the Delgados know about Halle’s connections with Xavier enough to even keep a constant tail on her? Xavier looked down at the pictures again, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at the sides. He remembered just how cautious Halle had been in front of those cameras at the party, it was obvious she hated having her photographs taken without her consent. In all of the pictures, she looked lost in her thoughts, unaware of wh
Xavier's Surrogate LIPS
“Xavier!” Horacio was up on his feet the second he spotted Xavier. Xavier fought the urge to roll his eyes knowing fully well that whatever conversation they were about to have was going to be a pain in the ass. Horacio and Xavier had some history, they used to be really good friends but then life happened, he found out Horacio lied a lot and so the distrust between them began, the only reason why they still see each other so regularly was that the guy is a fucking good doctor and Martha wouldn’t trust anyone else to handle his or the family’s health. “I was so shocked to see your text,” Horacio grinned as he sat back down once Xavier had reached the sofa, “I never knew you had a phone or even knew how to operate one!” Then he gasped in mock shock like he was being serious, picking up the glass of water that was set down in front of him. Who gave him water? Probably Tabitha, she like the man for reasons unknown to Xavier, despite Horacio’s terrible character that no one could hand
Xavier's Surrogate LOST IN THOUGHT
Halle stared out into the distance, her Uber is supposed to be here any minute now.She stood at the front gate with her purse and also an official warning from the resident professor.He apparently wasn’t aware of the little arrangement and has decided to remind Halle to report to her assigned clinic before they took the scholarship away. Of course, she explained the entire situation to the man and then still texted the owner’s son who was so eager to help her despite his prideful replies.He wanted a connection with the Stone family.Halle couldn’t help but laugh, she didn’t have any connection with them either.It had been a really long day, Halle had been so lost in her thoughts about Xavier that she was hardly present, not even when she was writing her exams.She couldn’t wait to be done with anything that had to do with nursing so she could finally focus on her dreams of culinary properly.Just one more year.Halle stared down at her sneakers, wondering if it was finally
Xavier's Surrogate A DATE
When Xavier had made it clear that he knew she had been avoiding him, Halle couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when looking into those brown depths of his.She placed her sweaty palms on her lap and then balled them up into fists.“Haven’t you now?”Unfortunately for her, she couldn’t look away from him, she could feel everything she didn’t want to. The loss of breath the butterflies she’d ignored, the sounding heart that seemed like it would jump out of her ribcage.For fucks sake!Halle wanted to curse out loud so badly but instead, she swallowed each curse word and forced a smile while slowly releasing her fists and trying to relax her tense-up muscles.“I have…been, maybe a little,” Halle muttered, cursing how small her voice was as she admitted the truth.He looked at he like he expected her to say more, his smile broadened as he moved closer to her, ignoring the distance Halle had decided to put between them.“I never took you as the shy type, Halle,” Halle wasn’t sure
