Xavier grins at me, and pats me gently on the back.
"Melinda!? Cut it out. Yes, we're together now, and yes I'm very glad you're happy, but please don't embarrass Aria like that." Xavier grumbles at her.
She didn’t reply to his brother’s remark but smiles sheepishly at me and nods. We all sit quietly eating our breakfast, and I feel genuinely happy with them both here.
After I help Melinda wash up, I loan her some clothes to change into, and we both go upstairs to dress.
Xavier left a little earlier than Melinda to go home and change---he had to go to work to sort a few things but promised to be back later to take us out for dinner.
Me and Melinda decided to spend the day getting to know each other, we have a lot in common, there's only six months in age between us; me being older.
She helped me clean around the house in the morning, and we listened to the radio, dance stupidly as we go around room to room.
In the afternoon, we spend it baking all sorts of goodies for us to eat later, and I can't keep the smile from my face.
"So, Mel, do you work?" I ask her curious.
She stops mixing the batch of brownies and just looks at me for a minute, before nodding.
"Yeah, I'm actually an author. You might even have read one of my books? I write the Starlight series." she replies nonchalantly.
I gape at her.Astonished. No freaking way!?
"Really? I love that series so much, I've read them all. You're amazing Mel, this is so cool!" I say excited.
She just shrugs, and goes back to mixing as if it's no big deal. I shake my head as I look at her, smiling. I can’t believe I befriend someone as amazing as her.
After all the baking is done, the house smells sweet.
Xavier arrives back around five and sniffs the air as he walks in, appreciatively.
"Wow, you've been busy. It smells amazing in here." He grins, licking his lips.
"Yeah, Aria and I spent the whole day baking and getting to know each other. I just discovered she’s my fan!" Mel replies grinning.
Xavier’s eyes smile as his glances moved at the two of us.
"So, you read Starlight, huh? Oh well at least you’re not the crazy-stalker type of a fan." He replies smiling brightly at me.
"No, I’m not a bad one. I really do love the books, though." I reply winking at them both.
"So, Xavier? Where are you taking us?" Mel asks him excited.
"We're going out to eat first and then I have a surprise after. Are you both ready?"
"Yeah, I just need to grab a jacket," I reply, and went out from the room to grab it from the back of the chair where I'd left it.
Going back into the lounge, I see Mel with her jacket already on, and Xavier waiting for me.
He comes over and lightly places a kiss on my lips, making me blush.
"Stop it, will you? I'm starved and we need to hurry. Let’s go!!" Mel shouts at us impatiently.
"Come on, then!" Xavier replies and leads us out to his car; a different one from the one he brought the first time they met but still a black one.
He takes us to a fancy restaurant, and me and Mel both roll our eyes at him, giggling at each other stupidly.
We were lead to an empty table near the window, with an amazing view.
We're served immediately after sitting, by a bleach blonde bimbo, who's batting her fake lashes wildly at Xavier, trying to get his attention, while ignoring me and Mel completely. Thankfully his eyes are set on me, and didn’t see her as she make a fool of herself; Mel and I did though, and we laugh at each other as she leaves.
"God, how desperate was she?" Mel asks me between laughs.
"Very." I reply dryly.
"What. Who was?" Xavier asks confused, making us laughs even more.
I order chicken Alfredo with a side salad today, wanting to eat a little healthier.
Xavier raises an eyebrow at me, but I just shrug it off.
After eating, we get back into Xavier's car, ready to go to the surprise he has promised. Mel can't seem to sit still, and is a constant ball of movement in the back seat, driving me crazy.
"Mel? Can you sit still?" I ask, her trying not to smile at her.
"Nope." She replies, popping her 'p'.
I just shake my head at her and turn on the radio, Xavier tries to stop me and I frown at him confused until I hear Mel singing loudly from the back seat----and grin wider at the pained look that on Xavier's face. So the author can't sing huh?
By the time Xavier pulls the car over, Mel and I have been singing our hearts out for nearly an hour, and Xavier doesn't look too happy with either of us.
Looking around curiously, I realize he brought us both to an ice rink of all things.
Mel seems to know this place and laughs loudly, clapping her hands in obvious glee.
"Oh god, we haven't been here in years Xavier, I love coming here with Mom and Dad. It’s really been a long time. Thanks for bringing me back again." She tells him happily.
"No problem, sis. Do you skate Aria?" He asks me, as he pulls me into his side.
"Uhm no, I've never done it before." I mumble slightly nervous.
They both chuckle at me, and I childishly stick my tongue out them, causing them to grin.
"Come on then, we'll teach you," he says, before planting a soft forehead kiss. "It's not really that hard to learn. Don’t worry I’ll catch you if you fall." Xavier assures me.
I nod and we swiftly head over to the counter where I assume the skates were given.
Xavier pays and much to my annoyance pull a pair of the ugly skates on.
Mel can't hold back her excitement, and rushes off towards the rink as quickly as she can leaving the two of them behind.
Xavier stands up and grabs my hand, cautiously leads me over to the edge.
"Ready, cara? I promise to not let you fall." He says softly, before leading me gently out onto the ice.
We spend an hour just skating around slowly. There are fewer people at that time and I surprisingly had fun with them.
Xavier stays close to me at all times, and I eventually do get the courage to try to skate a little bit by myself.
I manage a few feet before I wobble like bambi, thankfully Xavier is quick enough to grab me in my waist to help be steady.
After we returned our skates and get into back the car with the heat on high, Mel and Iseem to have our smiles glued to our faces.
"So, did I do well today?" Xavier asks us both.
"Yes, you did brilliantly." They both answer in chorus.
"You guys are so cute! I'm glad Xavier found you Aria, he needed a proper woman, not those bimbo barbies that clung to him like glue." She told me seriously.
"Thanks, I guess? And I'm glad I met him too." I mumble embarrassed.
Xavier grabs my hand and squeezes them gently, and continues hold it as we went over to my place.
We soon arrived at my house. I look at them like it’s the only way to hold them back. I truly don’t want them to go just yet. If only I could keep them around all the time, I’m more than happy to do so, but that’s not the case and they really need to go.
Xavier went out and walks me to my door.
"Thank you, Xavier. I really enjoyed it."
He smiled as he gaze back at me and bent down his head tome capturing my lips in a hard, demanding kiss that leaves me breathless.
"I'm glad, cara. Can I see you again, tomorrow?" He asks me, smiling down at me.
"I have to go job hunting again, but I should be free after lunch. What’s your plan?" I ask while gently placing my hands on his chest and leaning up asking for another kiss eagerly.
He grins down at me, and leans down so it's easier for me to reach.
"Can I steal you for a date then, cara?" He asks me.
"I won’t mind at all, Xavier. Whenever you want to go is fine," I reply, stealing for another kiss, not being able to restrain myself.
Turning and unlocking my door, I turn back to him to see h
im watching me closely.
"Goodnight, cara. Have a sweet dream." He replies and kisses my forehead, before going back to his car where I can see Mel waving at me, grinning.
I grin, and wave back, and went inside and lock the door behind me.
Turning the lights on, I drop my bag and jacket beside the sofa, and grab a soda from the fridge.
It's a little after 11p.m and I'm tired, so I head up to my room, turning the lights back off.
I took a shower and change for bed. I climb in exhausted and happy, falling to sleep quickly.
11.
The next five weeks went so swiftly I hardly notice the time passed by. Xavier and I have been going out and I've been spending a lot of time with Mel, too.
I still hadn't found a job yet, and had started feeling down about it. Mel cheers me up and suggested to ask Xavier for any empty spots in his company.
I was surprised to hear Xavier actually owned a "company". She'd just smiled sheepishly at me. After, her lips seem to be plasteredand tryavoiding my questions saying that I needed to talk directly to Xavier about it.
It’s been a while since the last time I heard from Margaret and Johnalthough I did receive a nasty email from Alexander Steele being down right offensive which I deleted after skimming my way through.2
Xavier stays over at my house on weekends, and I can't believe how much I was missing out on being a virgin. Xavier seems to be enjoying showing me just how much too, I can't get enough of him and I'm positive that I've started falling for him already, and can't stop smiling about it.
We've only known each other for about six weeks and I sometimes wonder if that's too short of a time to feel this way, but I can't seem to help it.
Tonight Xavier has another date planned, but he won't tell me where we are going no matter how much I keep on asking and convincing him to tell it to me. The only thing he told me is to dress casually. I decided to have some skinny jeans, black pumps, a short sleeved green top, and my leather jacket that I love. I tied my long blonde hair up into a high ponytail, and left off putting a light makeup.
I sat patiently while waiting at the kitchen, sipping a can of Coke when the doorbell rings. Getting up quickly, I excitedly open the door, and let a grinning Xavier in.
He's wearing jeans and sneakers with a leather jacket, and I smirk at how we're even matching. He seems to notice too after blatantly checking me out, and chuckles at my raised eyebrows.
"Well, cara. You're all mine, and damn I must be the luckiest man alive now to have you all to myself. You seem to have me wrapped around your finger, tesoro and I wouldn't have it any other way, either." He replies sounding serious while I’m turning red, I grab to kiss him lightly.
He grabs me around the waist pulling me closer, and deepens the kiss, making me moan against him. I can feel his smile at my reaction, and when we finally release each other, we're both smiling goofily at each other.
"Come on cara, I made a reservation to a newly-opened restaurant, we can go watch a movie afterwards then, what do you think?" He asks me and I nod in ascent.
We arrived at a small seafood restaurant beside the harbor and I immediately like the ambiance of the place.
We get led to our table by a young blonde man who keeps staring at me, making me feel uncomfortable. Xavier possessively wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer and sends a vicious look at the waiter.
Thankfully, the waiter gets the idea and finally looks away. Once we were on our sits, another waiter comes and takes our order, and he's nothing but respectful.
"You okay,cara? Sorry about that, I don't like anyone looking at you that way." He grumbles. I grin as I notice the jealousy in his tone. I never find a jealous man hotter than this one before.
I smile at him, and lean in to kiss him gently. He returns my kiss, and I break it off before things get too heated. He pouts at me childishly, making me giggle loudly at him.
Our waiter returns with our food and wine, and I dig in immediately, moaning at how good it tastes. I feel Xavier's eyes on me and wonder why.
After finishing my meal, and deciding I didn't want any dessert, we head out to his car. Once inside he grabs me roughly, pulling me against him.
"God cara, your moans in there were driving me wild. I even consider taking you right there, and then on that damned table.” He groans.
He kisses me roughly again, making me moan, and we're left gasping for air, when we break apart finally coming up for air.
"Anywhere you'd like to go now, cara? Or do we go have dessert at your place." He asks with a teasing eyes.
I grin up at him and he grins back, he starts the engine and revved it up as if we’re flying.
We barely make it at the entrance of my door before we both undress each other. He grabs me and lifts me, and in quick strides lands me to the sofa, where he takes me right then and there. I didn’t even notice the windows aren’t closed!
We’re both after our breaths when we finished. He lifts me gently into his arms, and brought me to my room upstairs. He continues into the bathroom, and turns the shower on, stepping under the hot water with me still in his arms, and puts me down gently.1
He pushes me against the wall and I position myself as my legs become weaker and weaker as we both come near to the climax.
"God cara, it gets better each time we're together. You drive me mad, tesoro." He says, smiling softly at me.
"I can't believe how amazing you are, Xavier." I reply, still weak.
He leans down and kisses me, before grabbing my loofa and shower gel. He then started to clean me and washes my hair. His hands travel all over my body, exploring every part and not leaving any feeling incompletely unattended.
We finished and wrap a huge towel around each other. I'm too exhausted to do anything else again tonight, and Xavier seems to be content with that.
We head to the bedroom and both lay down naked on my bed. Xavier pulls me against his chest, wrapping us in my duvet, and I fall asleep with a satisfied smile on drawn on my lips.
12.
I woke up feeling Xavier’s muscular arms wrapped around me. I smiled as it felt so good to be imprisoned by those arms.
My eyes carefully travelled around his face, gently touches him trying not to wake him up. He looks so peaceful and content.
I tried to move slowly out of his arms----but fail miserably when I end up on my butt besides the bed---landing with a bang that wakes Xavier up immediately.
"Cara? Why are you on the floor?" He asks, in a morning voice that's so sexy it should be illegal.
"I tried to get up without waking you, and fell. I'm fine though, just a bruise to my ego." I reply blushing brightly.2
He chuckles at me, and helps me back onto the bed. He's still naked, and his not so little Xavier is stood to attention, capturing my gaze.
I hear him chuckle again, and he leans over and kisses me.
"You know, cara? Instead of just staring, why don’t you help me instead?" He asks grinning widely.
I raise my eyes, and look at his grinning face and smile at him. God I love this man! ----wait. What?!
Stunned at my own thoughts, my face must give a wrong impression making Xavier looks concerned.
"Cara, what's wrong?" He asks me gently.
Smiling up at him, I shake my head. I didn’t say a word and kiss him softly.
"Nothing, Xavier. Something just came to mind. Now, what were you talking about before? I could help you, huh?" I ask him smirking.
He raises an eyebrow at me, but nods, and my smirk widens.
Crawling closer, I lean down and capture him in my mouth, making Xavier suck in a harsh breath.
"Mio dio!" He shouts loudly.
I continue the sweet torture hoping I'm doing the right thing as I'd never done it before. Judging from Xavier's reactions though, I think I'm doing okay.
"Cara!? God cara, stop, or I'll go in your mouth." He begs sounding desperate.
Ignoring him, I continue moving my tongue
and lips around his length and feel his rigidness before he finally fills my mouth with his seed. Swallowing quickly, I try hard not to gag.
Releasing him, Xavier collapses back against the bed, panting loudly and staring at me in awe.
"Wow, you were amazing, tesoro. Gosh. Your mouth!" His eyes widen in total wonder.
"Glad to see you do like it, babe. I’ll go first. Meet me downstairs in a minute, okay?" upon saying I head to my closet to put some wardrobe.
Looking out the windows, I notice it's nice out, and decided to put on a summer dress and sandals for the day. It's rare in New York to get some nice sunny days like today. Today must be fun!
Once dressed, I walk downstairs to find Xavier cooking in the kitchen----shirtless! The corners off my mouth involuntarily turned up finding such scenery.
"Cooking, huh? I should wake you up like that more often," I respond cheekily, giving him a sweet back hug.
He turns and pecks me on the cheek, before plating up the food he cooked.
He hands me a plate of bacon and eggs. I feel a little nauseous, but take it anyway.10
"Well you could always bribe me that way I suppose, but any morning I wake up with you is special tesoro, so wake me anyway you want to." He responds sweetly, making me flush in pleasure at his words.
Once we'd finished eating, I loaded up the dishwasher. Xavier leaves after pleading his goodbye and I get ready to go meet Alexa. We agree to meet up for some shopping and I decided to include Mel with our date.
Alexa didn’t seem to like the idea but I insisted and convinced her Mel needed friends and I like hanging around her, so she might also come to like her, too.
I grab a bag to match my purple dress and put a pair of my gladiator sandals on. I texted Mel telling her I’m on my way then set off to pick her up. Xavier had given me their address already, and I'd even been there once, when he brought me to see it.
He and Mel both lived in a huge house---more of a mansion than a house exactly---six bedrooms, and five bathrooms; he'd informed me. They even had an indoor pool that we'd spent time in with Mel.
Driving up to their house, I immediately spotted Mel right in front of the door patiently waiting. She was dressed in a cute denim skirt and a pink top, with matching jacket. She had on huge heels that I raised my eyebrows at, but shrugged it off. If she wanted to shop in heels, who am I to judge?
