22. HOME, SHOWER AND BEDROOM

XENIA'S POV:

It's been a week ever since my mini breakdown at the cemetery, I explained everything to Asher when I woke up the next day. Needless to stay, we both spent that entire day together watching Netflix and eating. I think I am ready to face Xander now partly because I miss him. So I'm driving to his penthouse, I was informed that he'll be coming late tonight so it's a win-win situation for me. What? When I said that I was ready to face him I didn't mean that I will talk to him. Duh.

Okay, I feel bad and ashamed right now. I don't know what to say to him honestly. He hates my guts already. Shaking my head, I park the car in his driveway and make my way inside. The guards smile slightly upon seeing me. I nod at them in acknowledgement. I loved this place.

As soon as I entered, I could feel, see and smell home which made me smile Only Xander can bring me the comfort of home. I go into the kitchen and make myself a cup of hot chocolate. The maids were not there of course because Xander didn't like anyone inside the house in his absence.

I took the steaming hot cup to the living room and played 'The Vampire Diaries' and started watching it. After a couple of episodes, my phone went off and I saw Veronica's name flashing on the screen

"Hey. How are you?" I ask picking up the call.

"I'm good, about to board the plane in a couple of minutes. How are you? Ash said you've finally moved in with Xander." she asks and I switch off the TV, taking my now empty cup to the kitchen.

"Yes I just came here a couple of hours ago and he's not home yet so he obviously doesn't know." I said placing the cup in the dishwasher.

"Stop being a bitch, you know?" she said and I could practically feel her rolling her eyes at the other end.

"No can do." I said just to aggravate her more.

"no seriously, stop running away from him and fucking let him in. He's trying." she said again making me sigh.

"I love you, V." I smiled and made my way upstairs.

"I love you too Xenia. I just-I really want you to be happy." she sighed.

"I know, hon. Don't worry about me. I'll call you later." I said and she mumbled a 'bye' before hanging up. She's going to Dubai for her upcoming shoot and will be back after a week. But I miss her already. The way Asher and Veronica consoled me after that incident, I don't think anyone else could have. I used be so paranoid, always on the edge but they stayed with me, told me it's okay to be scared yet at the same time, taught me how to overcome those fears and how to turn them into my strength. I am so thankful to them, for them.

I walk into Xander's room as I knew that my stuff must be placed there. Opening the door, the scent of mint and chocolate welcomed me making me close my eyes in content. I craved for this scent every single second of the day. Walking inside the bathroom, I stripped out of my clothes and turned the shower dials on. I will sleep before he comes and we can talk tomorrow. Stepping inside, I immediately felt relaxed as the warm water cascaded down my body, removing all the soreness of my muscles. I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall. I sighed deeply but it was cut short as I felt someone push me against the shower wall. A scream erupted from my mouth but it was muffled with a large hard.

XANDER'S POV:

I arrived at my house after a long and tiring day of work. We had a meeting with the Sicilian leader, he discussed about expanding the territory of his business and so we mutually decided that all the transactions of Florence will be dealt right here and not in Sicily. His nephew will handle all the dealings and in return of providing them land, our profit will be increased by fifteen percent which is fair enough. I climbed up the stairs taking off the suit jacket and tie in the process. Opening the door of my room, I heard the shower running. What the fuck? I threw my stuff on the arm chair and peeked through the slightly ajar door to see the wall of the cubicle fogged. I frowned as I made out a female figure leaning against the shower wall. My expressions morphed from confusion to shock then happiness but it was soon overtaken by the rage that boiled inside of me. I walked back into the room and ran a hand through my hair. So she decides to show up after two weeks? I clenched my jaw and kicked off my shoes while stripping out of my white shirt.

I opened the door quietly and walked towards the cubicle. I pushed her front against the wall and trapped her with my chest. My hand covered her mouth and muffled her scream. She struggled for a moment but then I turned her around and removed my hand from her mouth. She looked at me for a while in shock with a hand on heart and then a sigh of relief escaped her lips. Her eyes were closed and mine were on her parted lips. Without wasting another second, I planted my lips firmly on hers making her gasp and giving my tongue the entry inside of her mouth. I smirked against her lips as she responded with equal fervor. Placing my hands under her thighs, I picked her up causing her legs to wrap around me instinctively. I groaned as I felt a tug on my hair and her naked chest pressed flush against mine. Needing to breathe, I pulled apart and looked in her eyes that were clouded with both lust and longing. We both were panting heavily and I turned the shower off. I pinned her further against the wall making my, very prominent, bulge press into her. She bit her lip as she gulped and looked at me through her dark lashes.

"Don't look at me like that love unless you want me to take you to the bed." I trailed my finger from her jaw to her collar bone making her breath hitch and bite her lip harder.

"Leave the bruising to me, Xenia." I said releasing her bottom lip with my thumb. Her eyes followed my action then met my intense gaze. The look she gave me said it all hence making me carry her to the bedroom.
