The Mafia's Secret

Chapter 24 ✔️

SCARLETT

        Within a matter of seconds Xavier had me pinned against the wall. His one hand rested on my hip while the other was resting on the wall. He leaned into my ear, slowly kissing behind it. His breath was warm, forming a tingling sensation onto my ear. As he trailed kisses down to my neck, I could smell his Sauvage by Dior cologne.
        Trailing kisses down to my collarbone, he grabbed the hem of my shirt, lifting it above my head before continuing with the kisses above my breasts. Leaning my head back as he fiddled with my bra until it came off, I was left half exposed. Struggling to take off his shirt, I pushed him back enough so that I could get the job done. He gave me a mischievous grin as he undid my jeans, dropping them to the floor before undoing his own. As he lifted me up off of the floor, I wrapped my legs around his waist. Adjusting himself into position, he thrusted into me. My back slammed into the wall, causing me to let out a small grunt. The longer he continued to thrust, the more pain started to form in my abdomen where the stitches had finally started to fade.
        Xavier was quick to notice since my body tensed up. He stopped, panting slightly as he looked down to where my stitches were. "Do you need me to stop?" He asked with a hint of frustration.
        "N–No."
        I knew he didn't believe me from the raised brow he gave me but that didn't stop him. He carried me to the bed, laying me down onto my back before beginning to thrust again at a rough pace. Grinding my hips with his movements, easily allowed him to finish just shortly after. I expected him to just get up and walk away but instead he stayed above me. He grabbed my hands, pinning them above me as he started to softly trail his lips from my neck to my breasts.
        His hands moved to rest on the bed as he teased my nipples with his lips. Letting out a soft moan as he flicked my left nipple with his tongue, he started to run his thumb around my other nipple. Running my hands through his hair he started trailing kissing down to my abdomen. The butterflies in my stomach begged for more as he kept going down until he reached my bikini line. He kept teasing as he trailed his kisses all around the area. A small whimper escaped my lips as I begged for more. Xavier Chuckled before finally moving to my clitoris, flicking it with his tongue. Moaning as he flicked harder, I started to grind my hips with his tongue movements. Arching my back as my breathing quickened, my body reached its climax. I let out a moan before my body relaxed. The second I did, Xavier moved to lay beside me. The both of us were hot and sweaty as we laid on the bed, catching our breaths. 
        Xavier pulled me close to him, still breathing heavily. After a minute of silence, let out an exasperated sigh. "Fuck, Scar. You're changing me."
        "Not so tough anymore are you?" I teased.
        "Says the girl who used to despise me at the beginning and now she's sharing my bed."  He snickered.
        I sighed. "When you spend time with the person you hate most in the world, you tend to forget the others who have wronged you."
        "Hmm. Well if that's how you feel, then perhaps you won't mind joining me tonight for a night out."
        "Your nightclub?" I guessed, remembering the card Tyler had given me.
        "Obviously. You've earned a night off. But not right now." He paused. "Right now I want to talk about a serious matter."
        "Like what?"
        "What did your father do to you, Scar?"
        His question stumped me. I hadn't expected him to suddenly bring it up while I was vulnerable. So ignoring his question, I stayed where I was, closing my eyes as thoughts swirled in my head like a whirlpool. The longer I thought about my father, the more the memories I buried came back. I didn't want the reminder of the past and I wasn't going to let Xavier find out either. Nathaniel was gone and my father didn't have me in his grasp anymore. That was all that mattered.
        Sitting up, I pulled the sheets to my chest as I swung my legs over the side of the bed. Tears started to stream down my cheeks as flashbacks of that monster filled my mind. I could feel the bed move as Xavier shifted.
       "Scar, look at me." Xavier ordered with a serious tone, causing me to flinch. When I didn't move, Xavier repeated himself more harshly, annunciating every word. "Scar. Look. At. Me."
       Turning to look at him, he was on his side with his bottom half covered in the sheets, staring at me with curious eyes. He matted the bed, gesturing for me to lie down. Doing so, I kept my back to him so he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes. He kept an arm around me, pulling me towards him. I wanted to move away but something about his touch was calming.    
        "You're a complicated woman, Scar. So many secrets."
        "You're one to talk." I scoffed.
       "That may be so, but I never let it get the best of me in this line of work. You need to do the same and put whatever it is behind you before you get yourself and others killed."
        I sighed. "You're persistent. I'll give you that."  I paused, trying to find the words. "My father killed my mother the night I left. He had gotten so angry that he pushed her down the stairs. She broke her neck so I'm certain it was a quick death. My father would beat me nearly every night so I knew what was coming. Only he had different plans. He raped me that night. So I left, starting a new life with Bianca."
        I paused again, expecting Xavier to say something. But he stayed silent. The only sound coming from him was his slow shallow breathing as he listened.
        "A few months later, I met Nathaniel. He was charming and gentle in the beginning. But all good things come to an end. He started being rough and abusive despite knowing what my father did to me. So Bianca and I switched apartments and I left him. I'm sure you can finish the story."
        "Hmm. I want to hear it from you. What about when they took you for the second time."
        Turning towards him, I looked up to meet his eyes. He was staring back at me with curious eyes. I could tell he was trying to read me. The hunger in his eyes to know what I was holding back. He pulled me back down and moved his hand to my waist, kissing the back of my neck as he traced his fingers along my skin. As shivers formed throughout my body, he continued to kiss my neck before moving up to my ear.
        "I only ask so I hear it from you." He whispered into my ear.
        "Some things are better left in the dark."
        He sighed. "When you are ready to talk, I'm here." He kissed my neck one last time before he got up from the bed. Turning to face him, he was quick to dress back into his clothes. He moved to his closet, pulling out a big Gucci box, tossing it onto the bed in front of me. "Get dressed. I'll meet you downstairs." He left the room, closing the door behind him.
        Opening the box, I was stunned to see a black satin dress neatly folded inside. As I pulled it out and put it on, it fit perfectly. It was a tight fit dress that covered just an inch below my ass. It had an open chest that pushed up my breasts, allowing them to appear bigger. The long sleeves fanned out at the elbow, slowly increasing the width of the sleeve by a couple of inches at the end. The collar around my neck kept everything attached to the hem. It was a gorgeous dress that I planned on wearing more than once.
        Moving into my own bedroom, I styled my curls with hairspray to keep them contained and less messy. I didn't own that much makeup so I put on pink lip gloss, a light amount of dark eyeshadow and mascara before I was satisfied. Grabbing my black heels I found in the closet, I put them on before heading downstairs.
        Xavier was standing by the door, putting on a black leather jacket. The second he saw me, his eyes lit with hunger. I was certain he would take me back upstairs and rip the clothes off but he didn't. He walked over to me, looking me up and down. The hunger in his eyes grew.
        "I'll be taking this off you later." He smirked. "Let's go."
