Chapter-38

Xavier drags me along with him towards a secluded area. I don't say anything and just walk along.

I look upto his face and see his brows knit and jaw clenched hard. He is angry, really angry. This is the first time I have seen him so out of his character.

He is always calm like an ocean. There could be so much going on but he would never lose his composure.

Now seeing him like this is worrisome.

"Xavier"

I call him but he pays no mind and keeps walking.

"Xavier"

I call him again and he still pays me no mind.

"Xavier"

This time I jerk his hand and he finally listens me too.

He stops and turns around looking down at me.

"I I am sorry Xavier."

I sttutre and put my head down

I don't know why but I just feel the need to say this to him even though I have done nothing wrong but I feel responsible for his spoiled mood.

"милый, Why are you apologising you have done nothing wrong."

(Darling)

He says and takes my face in between his palms making me look up at him.

"You are not the reason I am miffed, trust me. It's just that Mr accardo always gets on my nerves. You have done nothing wrong."

He tells me as if understanding my inner turmoil.

His thumb feathers my cheek.

I gulp hearing him.

This means that Xavier and Lorenzo know each other.

Not only do they know each other but they also don't get along.

I haven't told Xavier about my past and never have asked about his.

We both never discussed our pasts and neither of us asked.

But the way he is talking about Lorenzo I am afraid he won't like when he'll know that I shared past with Lorenzo.

"Now ease yourself and stop worrying. We can't let that man to get to both of us and spoil everything."

I nod weakly.

He takes his hands off my face and looks at his watch.

"It's quite late милый. I think you should go upstairs to have some rest."

(Darling)

"What about the ball?"

I ask him concerned.

"Don't worry I'll handle it. And when I am done here I'll take you back home to nikaloi till then you go up and rest. You seem tired."

He says and my eyes lit up just upon hearing nikaloi's name.

"Hmm."

I just humm while smiling lazily.

To be honest I was quite tired. I haven't really attended a party or ball for as long as I remember.

And now to wear heels, this big gown, makeup and to meet so many people feels a lot.

"Just wait a second."

I say and lift my right leg up to untie the heel.

But before I could do that Xavier bends down.

"Wait let me take these off."

He says and lifts my gown up to take them off.

I put my hand on his shoulder to balance myself.

"I know you wanted to take them the moment you stepped in them."

He says chuckling and takes both of them off.

Grabbing both of them in his one hand by their back end he gets up.

"It's difficult to wear heels and I haven't wore them for quite a while,you can't balme me."

"Ofcourse milady. I understand your pain."

He says charmingly and puts his hand out as a sign for me to walk ahead.

I walk and he follows me.

I turn to him to take the heels but he says

"Don't worry about them I'll take care of them. You just go and rest."

I just nod in response.

We both reach the back door and enter back in the building.

"It will probably get late but I'll come back to you as soon as I can."

He says while gently putting his hand on my head. He leans in kisses my forehead.

I just look down and say

"Okay I'll wait for you."

He nods and we both part ways. He moves towards the ball room and I turn to my right in restroom's direction.

I walk with slow steps away from the lights, noise and croud of the ballroom towards the dim light leading me to the back stairs going up to the restroom.

As I am about to step on the first stair I feel someone's hand on my mouth as I am dragged into the dark alley besides the stair.

I try to fight and take the person's hand off but three words make me stop.

"Missed me, sweetheart."

Seeing me still and quiet he turns me around to face him.

The light was dim but I could still make out his features very clearly. His beautiful eyes, his face are just etched in my memory deeply.

A devious smile playing on his lips as he looks at me.

I just gape at him too surprised.

"Lorenzo"

I breathe out.

And before I could process anything I feel his lips crashing on mine as he pushes me back.

I feel my back hit the wall.

His hand courses thtough my hair and he grabs my head to make me still. He lips sucks on my lips harshly as if he is parched and I am his water.

It's a mess. His lips on mine while his hands on my head and waist keep digging into my skin.

But I am too far gone to feel the pain. All I feel at this moment is his lips.

His hand on my waist is pulling me more and more into him as if we aren't close enough while his lips ravage me.

Without even realising I feel my lips moving against his, following his lead.

I realise what I am doing and try to push him but he takes my lower lip betwen his teeth and bites it making me bleed.

He then suckes on it easing the bruise while his hand on my waist grabs both my hands in his one hand.

"Fuck, I am finally alive baby."

He says and we both take a deep breath.

I am panting out of breath and my head is spinning.

I don't know what just happened in a matter of moments.

It's all hazy.

And as I am processing everything. I feel him gently kissing my jaw and moving down.

He is placing slow and gentle kisses on my neck.

Making me more delirious.

I feel his lips on the junction of my neck and shoulder. He is kissing there again and again making me heady.

He brings his tongue out and licks that spot.

"I missed your fragnance."

He kisses the spot sweetly

"I missed it SO FUCKING MUCH."

Now I feel his teeth sinking in that spot making me grimace.

I look down to see that he has left mark there.

He kisses the mark one last time and bring his head up to face me.

"So, did you miss me, sweetheart?"

He asks smiling again.

I gulp looking at his face. I don't know what to say at this moment. This all is too much.

I just bite my lips not knowing what to say.

"Nah! Don't do that it will make me want to kiss you more."

He says and his hand pulls my lips out of my teeth.

He gently feathers my lower lip. His whole focus on it.

I look at him and then look past him to the source of bright light.

Ball

Xavier

Nikaloi

This is wrong. So wrong.

His thumb is still on lips.

"Lorenzo"

Hearing me finally speak he let's go of my lips.

"Yes, baby?"

He asks smiling

I feel my voice getting lost but I have to speak this. I can't let him have his way with me.

Not when I have a family of my own.

"I I aam married."

I say and expected him to get angry but he just chuckles.

"Sweetheart, you forgot silly?"

He questions while cupping my jaw and smiling broad at me.

I knit my brows in confusion not understanding him.

I look up into his eyes. They don't mirror the smile on his face. They got darker and murkier.

His gentle hold on my jaw tightens.His hold on my jaw is strong but it's not hurting just leaving a little ache.

I flinch a bit as he says.

"You belong to me."

His smile is repalced by a stern expression.

I don't know why but I feel a surge of anger as I reply.

"I am not a thing and even if I have to be owned. You will be the last person to own me."

I spat angrily at him.

He let's go of my face. His eyes fill up with mischief as he looks at me amusingly.

He tilts his head a bit back and says

"Is that a challenge sweetheart beacuse if it is...

He leans in his lips touching mine and he utters

"Then it's galdly accepted, baby."

I feel his lips touching mine, our breath mingling and eyes staring into each other.

I don't know what's takes over me but this time I bite on his lips hard, drawing blood.

He doesn't budge and let me bite him. As I feel his blood I move back.

"I was enjoying it sweetheart."

He says chuckling.

I don't know why but he sounds so hot when he laughs. It's making me wet.

Anger

Yearing

Lust

Sadness

All emotions fill me up. I don't even know what I want.

Whether I want to kill him or make out with him?

"It's not a challenge, not when I am someone's wife."

I say to make him angry.

"Oh! my silly girl."

He says and cups my my left cheek.

"I will have real fun when I'll tie you to my bedpost and will fuck this aggression out of you."

He tells me with a solemn voice.

I know he means each and every word.

"And then I'll ask you who do you belong to?"

He says his eyes turning darker.

"Keep dreaming, you fucker."

"One thing is for sure, you have gotten hotter and fiercer."

I am again about to give him a sarcastic reply but I feel him putting a handkerchief on my mouth.

"I'll find out how much more you have changed later on, sweetheart. Now it's time to leave."

I look at him in panic as I feel myself getting dizzy.

My eyelids become droopy I try to hold them open but I fail.

"I'll make sure you are mine even if it's against your wish."

These are the last words I hear before I succumb to darkness.
