Chapter 13: chapter 13

Xavier's POV–When I was coming back from work, I received a message from John. He is one of my men. He is good with machines. I opened the message. It was a picture. As I looked at it. My chest ached. It was not in a bad way. It felt like my heart become full of light. I can't even express this feeling. It was a picture of Isabella and Evangeline's.They both look the same. They both look beautiful in my clothes. My heart is feeling warm by just looking at the picture of them.I was more eager to reach home now. I get out of the car and almost run towards the door.I entered the hall, it was filled with boxes. I think the things I ordered had come. I ordered some things for both of the girls. Specifically for the little one. I asked Ohio to help me with this.I saw them. Isabelle was playing with Evangeline on the sofa. When she saw me, the little girl smiled brightly. I was very excited but I hide it. I went up to my room. I was changing into something comfortable to wear in the evening. I had no work left for today.There was a knock on my door. I said to come in. Maybe it was Ohio because I asked him to collect some very important information for me. I was putting on my shirt when I felt soft, tiny fingers on my back. Instantly I knew it was her.What is she doing here?I wanted to ask her, but right now nothing was coming out of my mouth. My heart was beating fast. She was running her fingers on the tattoo on my back. I got that much, because, her fingers were running in the same pattern as the falcon tattoo, that I have on my back. Her one hand was on my back, tracing every inch of the skin and the other was on my waist. I was on the verge of losing my control.She was oblivious to how much she is affecting me. She was so close that her breath was tickling my skin, wherever it was brushing. I become overwhelmed with the reactions of my body towards her innocent touches. It was out of pure curiosity, I'm sure of that. She is not the type of woman, who can just enter anyone's room and behave like this.I know very well how I affect the women population. I have my fair share of women in my bed. It was a long time ago. Still, I know how to woo a girl. But I don't want to bed this woman, who is standing here. I want to make her the happiest woman and want to take care of her, protect her and her daughter. I know it's a foolish thought but that's what I feel now.I took her hand in mine, which was resting on my waist. I turned her around so that she was in front of me. I took her other hand too and put both hands on my chest. I saw her eyes went wide. I guess it was because of my fast heartbeats. I don't care though.She was not looking into my eyes, just keep staring at my whole naked upper body. The look in her eyes was like she saw something interesting. Out of blue, she started talking."I never thought I'd interested in seeing a man's body. But I've never seen one, to know how I feel about it."I was confused. She is married and has a daughter.How is that possible. She has a husband and she must have seen his body.Just thinking about it, makes me want to murder someone. I know, I should not be feeling like this. She is married to the man legally. I don't have any right to feel possessive over her. But then why she is here, making me feel like I'm the only man she ever put her eyes on? Why is she making me feel so ......... special?I looked at her face. She has that surprised glint in her eyes like she really saw a man's body for the first time.After seeing her face, every confusion or doubts slide out of my mind. I couldn't resist anymore. I took her face in my hand and interlock her hand with my other hand. Her other hand was still on my chest. I caressed her cheek with my thumb. She leaned into my hand, closing her eyes. Like she never felt this gesture before. This makes me rethink about, what kind of husband she has? I rested my forehead against her's.She is beautiful, innocent, and lost. Very lost. Just like me."Isabelle"  as I said her name, she stopped breathing for seconds. I wanted to say her name again and again. Saying her name feels good. She raised her hand from my chest. She was looking at my lips, so I had thought of, what she wants to do with them. The thought made the hairs on the back of my neck stand. When her fingers were mere inches away from my lips, she went still. I looked at her, confused. She gasped loudly and gripped my hand tightly. Looking at me, she took several steps back. My heart longed, to hold her close to me again. But by the look of the situation, it's not a very good idea.  She started panting, looking at the ground. She didn't look at me once. She held her forehead in her hands. I was confused as hell, but I was worried about her more.Then she said the words that made me understood of her reacting this way. Her words made my heart bleed.'I'm married.' She murmured to herself.Then she looked at me with shock and tears in her eyes. Which causes more pain in my chest. My chest tightened at the sight.I said "It's okay. You didn't ........" But she didn't let me finish my sentence. She looked deep into my eyes and repeated."I've married, Xavier. I can't do this. I should not be near any man, except my husband. What the hell I was thinking, How could I ........ How can I be this disgusting," She had a pained look as she said 'disgusting'.I don't know what to say? How to make her understand, that it's okay. She didn't do anything wrong. "I came here to thank you for what you did for Engi. The toys and all." She stopped. Her voice and body were trembling from the emotions that were running through her."Xavier, I'm not... I'm not this type of woman. I'm not a cheater or cheap like this. I don't know how this ..... happened. I don't know what got into me, so please, Xavier, please wouldn't think of me as a bad girl, who cheats. I'm sorry." With that, she walks away.I would never think of you, as a cheater, Isabelle. How could I, when you are the light in my life? I wanted to go after her, hold her, kiss her so that she would know how I feel about her, but I know it will complicate this situation more.What the hell are you thinking? She is married. She just said that she is not someone who cheats. How could you even think she will ever cheat on her husband for someone like me.****************Hye.How do you like this chapter?It was very hot, I know.There is so much more romance waiting on the way.
