Köhler (Book 9 of the Köhler Series)

𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐈𝐈

Xavier paced the floor of his room, trying to figure out what his father wanted with Shanice and Jasira. He knew it had something to do with what happened in the courtyard back at the university, but why ask them back to their home for dinner? He could've asked them all he needed that day, but to invite the two over for dinner scared him.

Everyone knew his family wasn't as nice as people may think, and when his parents invited people over, they didn't trust never ended well. Xavier knew what happened between him and Sira had his mother upset, and after learning some viable information about Jasira. The two had become closer over the last few months, and he knew she was hiding shit, but the shit he saw on her phone didn't sit well with him. Making him regret what he had done, but he didn't know how to tell her.

Xavier knew it was wrong to sleep with the girl and put her in the friend zone. He didn't know how to tell her the problem and what he saw. Then there was Shanice, and he knew Jasira saw their connection. She was a little better to connect with, plus she hid nothing. Jasira did, and at first, he thought it was the fact she was working with the Nigerians, something he had yet to undercover, and he didn't want to be hurt again as he was with Summer. Hell, he thought he knew her. Xavier was wrong, and having sex with her was just another step that should have waited, but it was something Zavier couldn't take back.

"Dad told me to come get you... Zay, before we go down, can we talk." Xylia asked as she took a sit at the end of his bed. Xavier knew what it was about, causing him to sigh, sitting beside her as she took his hand. "Does it hurt?" Xavier shook his head. It did when he first broke it, but their dad made sure to help him with the pain.

"I don't want us to grow apart. I'm sorry that I hid that I was having sex with Isaac...."

"Actually, I don't want to hear about that, and I knew. I didn't want to believe it. Elias told me some time ago his high ass just forgot and told it again. Isaac is a good person. If he weren't, I would let him be with my sister. I want you to be careful, Xy. The things were are doing can land us in a mess of trouble, especially me. I slept with Sira knowing she could be our enemy... I feel used."

Quickly Xylia shook her head as she touched him, forcing the two of them to look at each other. "Don't do that to yourself. Yeah, we don't know if she's our enemy or not, but I overheard dad talking with Opa a few weeks ago. Whoever the girl is, the Nigerians were using her. This Mistress wants you to father a child with whomever. If it's Jasira, we need to protect her. Still, be careful, don't use any condom she gives, and make sure she doesn't handle them."

Xavier nodded. It wasn't like the way that fucking crazy to begin with. The one thing their Uncle Elijah always told them was never to let a female that they didn't fully trust handle the condom. It wasn't that he didn't trust Jasira. Xavier didn't trust any female that wasn't a part of his family, and like Summer, they all could've been out to set him up.

"Never, and if I did fuck up, whose to say it would be mine. We only slept together once, and it wouldn't happen again."

"Why would you say something like that?"

"Don't worry about it; you do the same, Xy. Just because Isaac is a male doesn't mean he won't want a place in our family. You saw his father the other day when we came out of the Dean's office. He knew who dad was, meaning they knew who we were. Getting you pregnant could very well be a way into our family. Let's go before dad sends one of the evil nannies up to get us." He laughed as he pulled his sister up with him. Afterward, they went downstairs into the dining room with the rest of the family.

"ZAVIER!" Xeon yelled as he jumped from their mother's lap running to his big brother with his arms open. Quickly Xavier picked him up, tickling his belly as he laughed. "You missed big brother?" He asked as his little nodded, hugging him once more.
