Xavier's Surrogate MR.STONE'S SURROGATE
When Halle left the bathroom, the bedroom was empty. She felt a pang of disappointment in her chest as she strode to the walk-in closet. She had expected Xavier to be there, beneath all that anger, she craved the warmth he provided and how calm it made her. Don’t do that shit you always do! Halle scolded herself as she rummaged through the closet in search of something decent yet, soft and comfortable. She didn’t want to put on clothes that would rub against her bruises the wrong way and add more to the pain she was feeling. She went deeper into the walk-in closet, exploring the clothes that they had supposedly ‘arranged’ for her. It came as no surprise that they knew her size and knew the right things to buy…Xavier said he’s been watching her for the past three years and damn it that brought back her hopes that she wanted to throw away. The closet was decorated with a blend of peach and cream colors, reminding her of how long it had been since she’s tasted ice cream on her tongu
Xavier's Surrogate PATIENT
Xavier walked into the room, his king legs taking large strides from the door to Halle’s bedside where she and Tabitha stood. Tabitha lowered her eyes on instinc6, her shoulders tensed and when she raised her eyes, they were back to that professional gaze she always carried around the man. “Mr. Stone,” She greeted and he nodded absentmindedly in response, his burning gaze sizzling on Halle’s skin as she fought the urge to look into his eyes and then the urge to look away. It was a fucking challenge! “Thank you for bringing up her breakfast Tabitha,” Xavier said, his eyes still on Halle. He sounded less wound you than he did earlier, his shoulders more relaxed but that steely gaze that showed a hint of fury hadn’t gone anywhere. Halle suddenly felt like the bruises on her skin were on fire under his scrutinizing stare. A small frown on his lips and knots between his brows as he took another step forward and then turned to Tabitha. “I would like to have a word with Halle,” Tabitha’
Xavier's Surrogate MAKE HIM WISH
“I had a boyfriend,” His expression darkened even though he tried to keep up that blank mask. Halle stared down at her fingers, for some reason the words she wanted to say suddenly felt too heavy.Was he going to kill Simon?Or was he going to be disappointed in the fact that she’s been a fool for so long?Halle knew that Simon was a bad choice and it wasn’t just the countless times that Greta had asked her to break up with the bastard, it was the moments in between. How much money he would ask from her knowing fully well that he wouldn’t pay her back, the number of times he’d threatened to hit her or even actually hit her with the intention of doing more but yet… Halle had still been with him.She was ashamed to admit it, but what was between them was more of a personal issue of her trying to prove herself to her mother rather than love.Halle loved the man but not enough to take that kind of bullshit but just like she’s tried to fight for the past few years and fail miserab
Xavier's Surrogate SIX MEN
There was no need to stay in bed, that much Halle knew but she was still bedridden for three days either way.Horacio had come back a few hours after Xavier had left her with those chilling parting words. He came with two nurses that helped him with more intimate tests just so that Halle wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.He said he had to redo everything else and also make sure her body was still healthy enough for the procedure but before that, she needed at least two weeks to heal fully from Simon’s assault.Halle found herself breathing out a sigh of relief after everyone left the room. She didn’t realize just how scared she was of the procedure until Horacio made it clear to her that a date would soon be set.It wasn’t like she was going to be the mother of the child but yet her heart pounded hard in her chest and her mind flew to many places.If she were to become a mother later in life…no, that would never happen!After two days of staying indoors and not really leaving her b
Xavier's Surrogate ROLES
Join them? Halle wasn’t sure what action to take, she chewed down at her bottom lip as she looked at all of them, overwhelmed by all of their attention.The blonde was still smiling patiently, his hands still holding the seat out for her.He had large brown eyes, they made him look like a perfectly drawn comic book character.He had a round face but Halle could tell from his beard and the look in his eyes that he was actually older.This was the first time she’s seen this many people in the mansion.Halle shrugged as she walked to the dining area and took the seat held out for her.What’s the worst that could happen?Besides, she’s been in her room for the past three days and she could really do with some company.“Good morning,” Halle said to them, it earned her wide grins from the men. They looked at her with a certain awe in their gazes and that baffled her.Somehow it made her feel weird that they all knew who she was and what she was here for but as long as they didn’
Xavier's Surrogate ROGUISH
After the men had left the kitchen, Halle stayed back with Collette and helped with some of the cleanings despite the young woman’s protests. “You’re not supposed to be doing anything stressful!” Collette had exclaimed when she saw Halle with a wet rag. “There’s nothing stressful about wiping down a table Collette,” Halle replied with a playful grin, “And besides, I’m not pregnant yet so those rules don’t apply to me,” Collette pursed her lips and left Halle to her devices but of course, Halle could still feel the woman’s stares from the back of her head and her slight in takes of breath whenever Halle made a little strenuous movement. They were treating her like she was some egg that would be broken by anything and everything. Halle was sure if they had their way, she would be up in her room for the entirety of the year. Somehow she managed to block off all thoughts of Xavier and Simon from her mind as she cleaned, her mind rather thinking about the lessons she’s been taught and
Xavier's Surrogate TIRED
“That son-of-a-bitch better watch his fucking back!” Greta snarled, “Cause the next time I set my eyes on him, I’ll be ripping his skin off his bones!”“Jesus, Greta,” Halle said in shock, “You need to calm down,”She could feel the woman’s anger through the phone and Halle knew what Greta was capable of when angry.“The last thing I want is for you to go to jail because of my personal problems,” Halle said. Her phone was on the vanity table and loudspeaker as both her hands were busy, pulling out the pins on her hair and releasing her thick strands from their tight bondage.“Your personal problems?” Greta practically seethed, Halle could almost imagine the smoke leaving her ears and her narrowed eyes.“This shit is far beyond a personal problem Halle! Why didn’t you go to the fucking cops?”“Because…” Halle sighed in relief as her hair finally came loose and fell to her back.“It's Simon and—”“—oh forget it!” Greta groaned, “After all, when you were supposed to call the cops on that
Xavier's Surrogate SOMETHING ELSE
The dining room was dimly lit, unlike what it was earlier in the day. The scent of homemade pasta and sauce drifted to Halle’s nose, she inhaled deeply, her stomach grumbling as she made her way to the take. He was there.He was still in his three-piece suit hit, he had taken his blazer off and loosened his tie, kept it right next to his blazer on the armrest, the first three buttons of his dress shirt were left open and he looked laid back.He looked really good with long hair but damn, this low-cut hairstyle was just...It gave him a certain edge that she didn’t see before. It seemed like he had slow-growing hair...Or was he just trimming it every morning?His eyes had been on her since she stepped through the door.She could feel it and also wanted to pretend that she didn’t. Tabitha had just set down an extra dish on the table right next to Xavier’s fingers, he flashed Tabitha a grin and muttered a ‘thank you' to her.Halle blew out a short breath, summoning courage from whate
