Chapter XXV
The first thing I did after Xavier told me he didn't want me, was to call Zeke and boy was he mad.
He swore so much I had clean my ear with holy water afterwards in hopes of even getting half the stuff he said out.
But he did provide to be helpful. He told me so many things that would get on Xavier's nerves and I promised to call Zeke every night with updates of my situation. It was probably the only exciting thing going on in my life right now.
Even training wasn't fun anymore. Hayden just made me spar or run. No more guns and knives.
The week started with me showing up every where Xavier went. Yes, I was going to annoy him to death with my mere presence.
I had that affect on people.
At first I would only talk with Hayden but as the week progressed I got very touchy with the staff, I would flirt with boys and girls alike and I could see Xavier trying to hold in his tongue.
Sometimes he'd even leave the room like it was on fire.
Boy did that bring me joy.
Take that asshole!
Today Hayden told me Xavier was having his best friend over and that he would like for me to meet him.
He didn't even have the balls to talk to me himself. I scoffed at that.
After a quick shower, I decided to throw on a dress. I had been running around in nothing but sweats or shorts lately because we were always training.
I settled on a cute yellow sundress.
It felt so good to even slightly dress up. It made my mood shoot up way more than I though it could.
There was a knock on my door. I went to open only to regret it the moment I did.
Xavier stood there, his hair still looking wet from his shower. He was dressed in a tight black shirt and dark denim jeans. This was the first time I had seen him dress so casually and I couldn't help but admire the way he looked.
"You look good." Xavier said, his hazel eyes appearing brighter.
I didn't say anything, just stared.
"Well," Xavier awkwardly scratched his neck, "Come along."
With that I followed him until we reached what looked to be the common area.
I was yet to wander through the whole palace, this place too damn big.
When he opened the door, there was a tall man with jet black hair and green eyes talking away like they were the best of friends.
When they heard us come in, both of their heads snapped to us before the stranger ran towards, grabbing Xavier in a man hug.
It was honestly really cute. He laughed heftily and said, "Long time my man."
His eyes shifted towards me and he smiled, "You must be the infamous troublemaker. Nice to meet my best friends mate."
I raised my hand to shake with his but instead he pulled me in for a hug.
I almost toppled into his chest with an 'oomph'.
"That's enough" Xavier voiced when his best man didn't let go of me.
He chuckled, "I'm just messin' with you."
"I'm Carlos."
"Well, hello Carlos." I said slightly flustered with his charming smile. He was really gorgeous with his silky looking hair, and intense green eyes that twinkled with mischief.
We all sat on the brown recliners in the room and Carlos kept the conversation quiet interesting with stories of Xavier, Hayden and his nights together.
A patron entered the room looking frantic, "King Xavier, the council has called for you."
Xavier and Hayden got up and looked towards the both of us, "Do you mind?"
I shrugged while Carlos said,"Go ahead."
Once they left Carlos turned his attention towards me, "So tell me Scarlett, has Xavier been treating you right or do I need to whoop his ass?"
I giggled, "I think we need to whoop his ass."
"Really? He hasn't been on his best behavior?" He asked, genuinely concerned.
"I guess, I mean he told me he doesn't want me."
"What?!" Carlos exclaimed, looking horrified, "Oh I am so going to give him a piece of my head!"
I told him all about how I was trying to get back at Xavier and he smiled.
"You cunning little wolf." Carlos said once I was done talking.
I grinned.
"What if I could help you?" He asked.
My brows furrowed, "How?"
He told me a little plan and I was a little nervous but my excitement overpowered any other emotion.
I saw Xavier enter from the corner of my eye and nodded towards Carlos.
I leaned in closer whispering in his ear, "Wanna know something?"
He briefly nodded, his hands coming around me, locking me in place.
I smiled, "You look peachy." With that I placed a kiss on his cheek.
He smirked when he saw the look on Xavier's face, "Why yes I do ind-"
A punch. I think I heard a bone crunch.
Carlos lay unconscious on the floor and I couldn't help but gasp. Xavier stood next to his limp body, his hands clenched on his side.
He looked red with rage.
We were the only one's in the room and my eyes drifted towards the door.
"Don't even think about it." Xavier growled. For some reason his chest was heaving and he was taking in short breaths.
"What do you want?" I asked, skipping the bullshit.
"What do I want? What do you want Scarlett?" It almost seemed like he spit my name out. So angry. Screw me but he looked hot.
"Do you want him?" He continued, "Is that what you desire? Another man?"
"That's none of your damn business." I replied with much more calm than I was feeling.
I hadn't even realized how close he had come.
"None of my damn business?!" He exclaimed as his eyes lit up with emotions I couldn't decipher.
He walked even closer, a feral look in his eyes. I took one step back. He took two steps forward.
We went on playing this game of mouse and cat until I felt the wall behind me. Oh no.
"You Scarlett, are my damn business." Xavier scowled, "Mine."
"Well, last I checked - You didn't want me. Not the other way around buddy." I said sarcastically while patting his shoulder and tried getting away from between him and the wall.
He shoved his body completely against mine leaving not even a breath between us, preventing me from moving. I could feel every muscle, every ridge of his body.
My body was alive with sensations.
I groaned. Gosh he felt good.
"Feel that?" He asked huskily.
I was to afraid to answer, to afraid to accept what I felt.
Passion. Desire. Want.
"Stop messing around Scarlett, I only have so much control."
"Too bad." I was going to give him shit for ever even saying he didn't want me.
He growled,"Oh yeah?"
I felt the vibrations of his growl through out my body.
Fuck.me.
"Yeah."
He place one hand around my waist, bringing me impossibly closer while his other hand grabbed my chin, holding my face in place.
I was a goner.
"Well my little minx, I'm not letting anyone have you. Ever. I see you with another man and your next present will be his head." He threatened.
"Are you insane?" I asked, crazed by his antiques.
"You have no idea." He answered with a small laugh.
"Let go." I said.
Funny how our roles had reversed.
"And why should I do that?" He asked, a full blown smirk on his face.
Cocky bastard!
"Because I don't want you." I was ready to give him a piece of his own damn medicine.
"Is that right?" He huskily stated, his eyes promising me my very own demise.
His head dipped to the curve of my neck, he inhaled my scent slowly before grazing his teeth on my collarbone.
I sucked in a sharp breath.
He placed a kiss on my shoulder. His lips felt incredibly soft against my skin and I couldn't help but hold onto his arm.
"Tell me, Scarlett." He whispered, his eyes meeting mine again, "What part of me do you not want?"
I looked at him, unmoving.
"Is it the kissing?" He said as he placed a kiss on my earlobe.
"Or the teasing?" he sucked on my earlobe.
Goner.
Gone.
I was floating.
He smirked his signature one when he saw the look on my face.
"Tell me you don't want me, and I walk out of this room, stopping right now." He said, "Tell me you want me and I'll continue."
I just gulped.
"Words, Scarlett, I need to hear it."
I shook my head, defying him.
"Am going to have to get them out of you?" He challenged.
"I wouldn't say it in a million years."
"Maybe." He smiled, "but your body will."
With that he crashed his lips onto mine and I couldn't help but moan. The sensation of his lips on mine alone could throw me into a frenzy.
This was no soft romantic kiss. No this was the intense and powerful kiss.
His tongue grazed my lips, asking to enter and I smirked into the kiss, not opening my mouth.
I opened my eyes to see his expression and his eyes held a promise.
His hand grabbed my ass and give it a squeeze. I gasped in surprise and his tongue slid into my mouth with ease.
Explosions.In.My.Mouth.
We battled for dominance with our tongues, communicating with our bodies instead of our words.
He groaned when I gently slid my tongue over his and the vibration of his groan against my lips was enough to set me into overdrive.
He pulled away long enough for me to take in a breath before his mouth was back on mine, tasting me.
I heard shuffling in the back before Carlos groaned, "Get a room guys."
Xavier chuckled against my lips, making no move to leave them. I couldn't help but laugh myself.
What a day.
