Chapter 35

ELEANOR

Xavier’s warm hands explored my burning skin. He moved closer to my face, his lips barely a centimeter away from mine. He slowly moved closer until our lips brushed against…

~Beep, beep.~

“Argh!” My eyes flew open when the annoying sound of the alarm woke me up from that wonderful dream. I took the phone from beside my pillow and turned the alarm off.

How nice would it be if that dream came true?

When I was about to turn around, I felt something heavy tightly wrapped around my waist and saw it was Xavier’s arm.

I gently rolled to my other side. Xavier was sleeping beside me with a peaceful look on his face. That’s when everything that happened last night came rushing back.

The excruciating pain and the unbearable heat coursing through my body were intense. My mind began replaying what had happened once Xavier came home, and a warm blush crept up my face.

I moved closer to him, wrapped my leg around his, and he smiled

“You’re treading on dangerous waters, Eleanor,” Xavier spoke with his eyes still closed.

“No, I’m not,” I defended myself when his hands around my waist tightened, and he pulled my body to completely mold with his.

That was when I felt his morning wood.

“Didn’t you get enough, Xavier?” I asked with a gasp, and this finally woke him up.

He opened his eyes and stared into mine.

“I’ll never get enough of you,” he whispered as he moved closer to my lips, but I quickly moved away.

“I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”

“I don’t care,” he asserted as he placed his lips on mine in a soft kiss.

My hands instinctively wrapped around his neck as he pulled me on top of him. I straddled his waist, my legs settling on either side of him.

“Shall we go for another round?” Xavier asked me as he pulled away from me, but I wasn’t able to think straight. His dick was poking my entrance, and all I could think about was how he took care of me last night.

“Maybe we…”

“Xavier, we…oh shit!” Both of us looked toward the door to see Marquez standing there with his eyes widened and his mouth parted.

Xavier quickly pulled the blanket to cover us both and glared at him.

“Haven’t you heard of knocking before you enter?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you guys started banging?”

“Just get out!” Xavier growled while his hands were possessively wrapped around mine.

“Okay, okay, I’ll leave, but Samuel needs you in his office in ten minutes,” Marquez informed me before he banged the door closed.

“He fucking ruined it,” Xavier mumbled, sounding irritated while I ran my fingers through his sharp jawline.

“You should go. It might be important,” I said as I pushed myself away from him and lay down on my side of the bed again.

“You’re right, but I think I can spare a few more minutes with you,” he said, but I pushed him away.

“No, I’m sore from last night anyway, you should get back to your duties,” I told him, and he pouted.

“Fine, but you owe me one, Eleanor,” Xavier warned me, and I smiled.

He pushed the blanket away from his naked body and got up from bed. Instead of just going to the bathroom, he turned around to face me, and my eyes widened to the size of saucers when I saw how big he was.

Since everything had been dark last night, I'd never gotten to see him completely naked.

“Close your mouth, Eleanor, you’re drooling,” Xavier joked, which made me throw a pillow at him.

“Shut up and go. I want to sleep,” I said, buried my face in his pillow, and closed my eyes.

“Yeah right, I don’t think you should be shy after this,” I heard him say as the bathroom door closed.

BETA XAVIER

I woke up way before Eleanor. Even though last night was one of the best nights of my life, my heart began to cloud with doubt and fear. Eleanor wanted me when she was in heat, but I was afraid that she might just say it was all a mistake when she woke up.

But the moment when I saw that beautiful smile on her face, all my worries eased. After taking a shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out of the bathroom. I looked toward Eleanor to see that she’d gone back to sleep again.

After putting on a fresh set of clothes, I walked out of the closet and made my way to the bed.

“~Mate looks so beautiful,~” Kyle said in a dreamy tone.

I agreed with him, but what would be even more beautiful was my mate mark on her. I moved closer to her and placed a soft kiss on her head before I grabbed my phone and left the room.

When I reached Samuel’s office, I knocked on his door and waited for him to call me in.

“Come in!” I heard his voice.

I pushed the door open and walked inside. Samuel was sitting on his chair while Marquez was on the sofa with a glass of bourbon.

“Why are you drinking so early this morning?”

“We’re celebrating your mating ceremony,” he casually replied.

Samuel glared at him. “Leave him alone, Marc.”

“What was so urgent?” I asked.

“We found out who drove the trailer that collided with your car,” Samuel said.

~Hell yes, payback time.~

“Where is he now?”

“Marquez caught the scumbag and brought him to our pack,” he explained.

My feet moved toward the door before I even realized it, fueled by the thought of all the ways I could make him talk. I would break him down piece by piece until he cried out the name of the person who sent him.

“Xavier, wait!”
