?XAVIER POV?
âIâm sorry that I scared youâ I said to Rachel Immediately the team came to our rescue.
She didnât say anything and I could not help but worry if she was thinking about the colour of my eyes when my wolf form took over.
She was not supposed to see me in my weakest moment, how do I even explain to her why that happened to me. Rachel didnât bring it up infact she was more concerned about my health than the fact that my eyes changed color.
We
got out of the dark room and she had her hand on mine as we walked towards the site together.
âIâm so sorry
about that sir, we had no idea that the both if you were stuck in there for hoursâ the engineer apologised as he walked us towards our car.
âYou should have been more careful, calling someone else to replace you would have been better. That place was dusty and he is allergic to dustâ Rachel said and he bowed in embarrassmentâ¦
âOnce again I apologise maâamâ he said and she sighed..
âKeep your apology to yourselfâ she bursted angrily as she walked in front.
âIâm sorry sirâ he said once again and I gestured for him to leave.
âHe didnât know I had phobia for dark places Rachel and he has apologisedâ I said when we finally got to our penthouse.
âDoes that change the fact that I was scared to death?â she asked as her voice broke after the edge.
âYou look almost lifeless Xavier and I stood there unable to do anythingâ she said and
heart swelled with love for the woman in front of me.
my
âIâ¦I donât know what to say Rachelâ I said as I took slow steps towards her.
âWhat?â she asked with eyebrows raised.
âThe care you showed Tonight is something I have not experienced for yearsâ¦â I said. and she blushed.
âOhâ she said and looked away.
âI should go to my room and freshen up, you should rest too Xavierâ she said and

turned to leave but I held her by the hand making her stop on her tracks.
âWe are not done talking Rachel â¦â I said and she stood rooted on the spot, refusing to turn towards me.
âI have feelings for you and I am not going to pretend to like I donâtâ I said and she turned to me in shock.
âXavier youâ¦.â she trailed speechlessly.
âYes Rachel, I know there are a lot of reasons why we canât be togetherâ¦â I trailed as my heart squeezed in hurt.
âYou have a wife XAVIER, except from the fact that I donât want to get involved in an extra marital affair with a married man, we are business partners and this is supposed. to be strictly professionalâ she said and I held her hand.
âDonât you feel it Rachel Iâm going insane because of you, Iâm unable to act on my feelings for youâ¦â I said and I could heard the uneasy sound of her breath.
Her heart beat crazily against her chest as I bent my head sideways and captured her plump pink l*ps in a k*ss, she stood rooted on the spot and I moved away only for her to walk into my arms and pull me back into the k*ss.
We where so deep into the k*ss, we keep exploring our self as our l*ps moved in sync as we explored each otherâs l*ps Rachel tasted so familiar I could remember this taste even in my sleep.
She tasted just like the women that hunted every part of my life for the past five years, the woman that broke my heart and left nothing, the woman that left me for another
man.
I broke the k*ss immediate shocked and I stared at her in shock as my heart beat crazily against my chest, I refuse to believe this.
Maybe Iâm hallucinating or maybe the after effect of mg phobia for the dark rooom, but one thing Iâm sure of is that she is the one.
âEMERALD !â I said in shock.
