Oblivion

Chapter 31

   Serenity looked up at Xavier her gaze searching his face. "What?" Xavier chuckled a deep sexy sound that made her shiver. "Marry me Serenity, let me love and protect you." Xavier reached inside his pocket a velvet black bag in his hand, he bent on one knee dragging her down with him so they were face to face. "I love you Serenity, with everything that I have. I don't want to be apart from you ever, marry me." Xavier slowly untied the bag pulling out a ring. It was a black diamond surrounded by smaller red ones. She took it with a shaking hand reading the inside, "είσαι η λήθη μου. What does that mean?" she asked. Xavier took the ring from her and slid it on her ring finger his touch gentle and loving. "It means you are my oblivion, my undoing." Serenity stared at him her hands going to his face her lips meeting his in a rush. She loved this man with her entire being and the very thought of being without him pained her. So she put her love into the kiss her answer was put in the kiss she didn't want anyone else she wanted Xavier. Xavier lifted her up her legs wrapped around his waist as he pushed her against the wall his strength surrounding her, he was dominating her every sense, her body and she loved it. Serenity gasped when her shirt ripped down the middle her gaze finding Xavier with his sly grin on his face. He was holding the fabric in his fist leaving her in her bra and pants. "You ripped my shirt," she whispered as he kissed down her exposed neck his fangs scraping her sensitive skin. Serenity gasped leaning her head back against the wall closing her eyes in pure bliss. Xavier pulled back looking at Serenity her hooded eyes full of desire dark promise, her breasts rose with ever every breath she took enticing him further. "Xavier," she whispered her hands running up his body pushing his coat off his shoulders. Her eyes followed her every movement as she pulled off his shirt tracing gentle fingers over the scar of his torso. She licked her lips leaning down placing the gentlest of kisses against his chest. He sucked in a sharp breath, he wasn't used to gentle he needed rough but with her it was different, she was his mate her every breath was connected to his she was his. Serenity traced her hand down his stomach his muscles jerking with her every touch she was in control she felt powerful in that moment, he was hers and he only had eyes for her. "Serenity," her name left him in a tortured groan making her smile against his warm skin. Xavier growled low in his throat and before she could blink she was on her back the satin sheets cool against her hot skin and she realized she was naked, Xavier on top of her her legs around his waist. "You take to long woman," Serenity laughed softly followed by a gasp. "You have no patience Xavier." She sighed against his throat as he pressed into her. His hands and mouth were all over her, heightening her pleasure his movements strong and sure. "Not when it comes to you I don't." Xavier said capturing her mouth in a rough kiss. Serenity pulled at his hair their bodies moving together in a seductive dance. In that moment they were one with each other he held her captive a willing prisoner her body was burning as she was pushed over the edge Xavier following close after.

   Serenity sighed softly as Xavier held her to him, their hands were entwined together and Serenity felt happy and care free. For the first time in weeks she was free from Draco, from impending doom. "What are you thinking about?" Xavier asked kissing the top of her head. "That I'm happy in what feels like forever," Serenity leaned against her elbow her hair falling over them like a curtain, "Why hasn't Draco come for us yet? Dedra said he was free. Yet he hasn't tried anything." Xavier sighed and stood up kissing her lips softly before pulling on his clothes. Serenity sat up pulling the sheet up to her chest as she watch Xavier move around the room gracefully. He strapped knives to his thighs and into his boots, and a gun in the back of his pants covering it with his coat. "Xavier?" He turned to her leaning towards her, "Get dressed and I'll get you food, you haven't eaten in days." With that he was gone. Serenity sighed standing and walking towards the bathroom where her clothes sat on the counter. Serenity looked around the marbled room her reflection bouncing off the mirrors that surrounded the bathroom. She looked tired but contempt, but in the back of her head she couldn't figure out why Draco was quiet. It unnerved her but she tried not to focus on it and showered quickly and changed before she went to find the others.

 Xavier walked through his mother's house where he thought he'd find her only to find out she left weeks ago to find a way to kill Draco. "She's wasting her time," Xavier turned at Scarlet's voice. "She's hopeful. There's a difference." Olivia interjected her green eyes bright as she smiled at Xavier. "So is Serenity coming to terms with her pregnancy?" Xavier nodded sitting at the table, books were scattered across the marble. "Did you find anything on how he got out? Dedra wasn't the wiccan who let him go, she was powerful but not powerful enough to destroy an entire realm." Avalon walked into the room her dark eyes hidden by the dark circles that were forming under her eyes. "I thought I could connect to Draco through the shadow realm in hopes that he'd be there but nothing. He's not at his home in Romania nor is he anywhere in the states or Europe. It's like he fell off the edge of the earth. No traces of him are anywhere." Avalon explained sounding more and more exhausted. "How is that possible? If he's out in the open we'd be able to feel him. He can't just disappear," Xavier stated angrily. "Maybe he's dead. In Cuba we thought that maybe he was the reason for the earthquake if it wasn't him and Dedra is dead then who the fuck is out in the open?"
