**Faith POV**
Xavier seemed to set my entire body on fire.
I felt like I pulsed with need. What he did to me last night awakened something terrible, some deep desire that I really preferred he would have kept down. When I woke up, his shirt wrapped me in his scent and flooded my core. I was half disappointed he wasn't still there this morning, even though I told him to leave. I didn't want to be caught with him. But the way he had put my leg on his shoulder and devoured me had made me absolutely crave him. Being kissed and pleasured like that was absolutely delicious, and honestly, I needed to stop letting it happen! Even worse, I let him jerk off on me, coat me in his pleasure. I felt like my whole body had turned to jello. Then I just watched as he pushed his cum into me and rubbed his cock at my entrance. In fact, I was an accomplice, having my hand on his dick like that. He was so hard, and way too big, it genuinely scared me. He couldn't possibly expect all that to go into me. That was never going to happen.
And the sweet things he said to me after... I really couldn't handle it.
When I woke up, I threw on a pair of shorts and had to rush to get ready before anyone saw me. He had left hickeys right on my neck, which I dabbed some makeup over. The ones on my tits would be mostly covered by a swimsuit, thank goodness.
Then Ashley came bounding into the room with her shiny new ring. I gushed and congratulated her, acted like I knew nothing. She once again reiterated how she wanted me to be maid of honor, which I accepted. She drug me downstairs and embarrassment flooded me seeing Xavier in there. He was so bold looking at me, his eyes tracing over my body in his shirt. I really hoped no one recognized it. I had planned to change before coming down, but Ashley was too excited as she drug me around. Not only were the guys disinterested in her wedding talk, I couldn't stand here in front of Xavier much longer. When I mentioned telling the others, she drug me back up the stairs.
Jeanna and Viv were all happy for her, but I could tell we were wary that it was Tristan. I felt like he was just doing this so she couldn't leave as easily. We didn't let her see that, though. Kay seemed like she was simmering with some jealousy at Ashley getting a ring before her. Jeanna looked at me- well, my shirt- for an inordinate amount of time. Did she know? How could she? It was just a simple black shirt. She didn't say anything, just looked at me with an amused smile before turning her attention back to Ashley. She wanted to sit by the pool and talk all the details about the proposal, so we all changed. I folded the shirt and put it on his bed on my way down, trying to signify to him that this was the end.
I sat sideways on a lounge chair, looking at Ashley and sipping the champagne Jeanna had toasted with everyone as she talked about everything she wanted at her wedding. Xavier came out a little while later, lighting up a cigarette when he came outside. I saw him scan the area before coming right up and sitting beside me.
"Let me see that rock," he asked, putting on a charming smile. He was sitting way too close to me, so that his body was touching mine. I couldn't look at him as Ashley held out her hand to him and gushed about it. "Wooow, what is that, 3 carat? Very nice."
"Yes! 3 carat! It's so beautiful. I think I want to get married next summer, after the trip..." she continued on and on about the plans, which I knew he didn't have much interest in. He was just using this as a means to be close to me.
"You doing destination, or something close?"
"I don't know! I've been looking at venues but I want to visit in person. I've booked some tours already. Maybe you and Faith could come!"
"I don't think we'd be of much help," I deflected, not wanting to go on any wedding venue tour with either my brother or Xavier.
"Oh, please." Xavier drawled, looking right at me while I could barely return his eye contact, "I think the maid of honor and best man would be a huge help to the happy couple."
