To be clear, I never read the book so I really don't know much about the characters buuuut I was dying to write something about Xandra so here it is. enjoy reading loves.
Screw this. I gulped hard, bit my lip, looked down again on her lips, giving her the signal that soon those lips would be all mine to cherish. She smirked at me and seductively darted out the tip of her tongue to smoothly ran it across her lower lip. I wasted no time, I leaned forward catching those luscious lips with my own. I felt her smile within the kiss as I kept my eyes shut. God, I had been wanting her since I met her just hours earlier.
Tangling her fingers within my locks and tilting a little bit so our lips would fit perfectly. Her fruity smell was so addicting, and her lips tasted sweet. It wasn't that long until her tongue invaded my mouth. I moaned within the kiss and started running my hands on her sides, then I reached the hem of her crop top, teasing the pale skin underneath. She pulled away, catching her breath.
"So what brings you here?" she asked lighting up a cigarette then taking a long drag, puff of smoke came out of her lips, then she tossed a gum in her mouth. I never knew smoking could be a form of art so as chewing a gum. That added points to her hotness.
"Here in the rest room? You." The last word was a mere whisper to her ear, then I licked the shell before pulling away. She chuckled at my action. "No, I meant here at the bar."
"Oh nothing really, I'm just waiting for this woman."
"Was it the one who slapped you?"
"Oh so you've been watching" she shrugged and wiggled her brows before taking another drag.
"No, that one was my ex." I explained, leaning my back on to the wall and crossing my arms over my chest.
"Really? I wouldn't have known. Isn't she way older than you?" she curiously asked.
"Age is just a number and besides I prefer the company of older women, they are more lively and exciting to be with plus I love being babied all the time." It was true, there was something about older women preferably those middle aged that drove me insane.
"Such a little brat" she crunched her nose and threw me a wink.
"So this woman you are meeting with...is she your next target?"
"Hell no, she's my father's girlfriend." I didn't know why in all the places here in New York my father told me to meet her at this place.
"What's the name?"
"Xandra with an x." My father made sure to inform me that her name started with an X and not S like Sandra Bullock. When I looked up to her, she only stared at me with her lips slightly parted as if she had seen a ghost walked by.
Small laugh fell past my lips, "What? you know her?"
"You're (y/n)?" She said making the smile on my face dropped.
"How'd you...You're Xandra!? what the fuck? You are my father's girlfriend?" I almost choked on my words.
"Are you kidding me? I just made out with my potentially step mother. You've gotta be kidding me."
I was so taken aback by this, in a million thoughts that went through my head none of them was thinking she could be Xandra. But then I remembered how my father described her. I looked at her once again, examining her physique, every single detail was too accurate even the way she chewed her gum.
"I wish I was!" She exclaimed putting off the cigarette.
"Now I'm hesitating if I want to let my father marry or I will marry you."
"What did you say?" she asked with a hint of amusement in her tone, I acted chill.
"I said," I cut myself right there and took a step forward, caging her between my arms and placing soft kisses on her exposed chest because of the plunging neckline of her top. I could feel her shiver at the contact my lips did with her skin. "I'm hesitating now if I want to let my father marry you," I stopped again, latching her lips with my own and nibbling on them, "or I will marry you." With a coy smile on my lips and my voice heavy and aroused because of her.
This wasn't the first time it happened but it could be the last. Tammy was also my father's girlfriend, they had been dating for a month long until she was introduced to me. Long story short, I seduced her and made her mine that was why my father hated me but that was years ago and he already forgiven me especially when after breaking up with Tammy he landed on a 70 year old millionaire after that, the woman died leaving him with her wealth.
"You barely knew me, kid" Xandra said as I released her lips. "Tell me, do you really love my father?" woman like her must be high when she started dating my father, he was gruesome, violent and an addict nevertheless he could be nice – sometimes. She stayed unresponsive, I could tell my question hit her reality. "How long have you been dating him?" I wanted to spare Xandra the heartache my father could cause, same as what I did for Tammy. Before Tammy I witnessed how many hearts my father broke and I just didn't want the same fate to land upon her in my father's hands so...
"He's nice – in some occasions, usually after sex and he gives me everything I ask for." That wasn't the answer I require but, that would be enough. "Four weeks, we've been dating for four weeks" she added while keeping those brown eyes darted on her long acrylic nails. Moving closer, I titled up her head so our faces were on the same level.
"He's nice to you for now, Xandra. You don't know him like I do."
My lips cautiously planted on her cheek, ghosting down to the side of her lips, I felt her took a deep breath and moaned languidly. Her back arched making her pressed more onto me. "Let me save you, darling." And that was when I let her have he need, she devoured my lips as soon as I planted them against hers.
"I could promise you the world and more." It was true, I may be young but I already had businesses, I had my own house, dogs, a huge pool – all I ever needed was someone I could spend the rest of my life with – in short, a wife, a home.
I thought I found home within Tammy but we always found ourselves opposing each other's ideas. We were living in separate worlds. She wanted to start a family right away but I wasn't ready for that and would never be. How could I give her everything, how could we travel the world as I promised her? I was selfish, I wanted all to myself and never in my life I ever saw myself changing diapers and feeding a baby in a plastic bottle.
In Xandra, at first sight I already saw the similarities we possessed, she wasn't the one who I could see dropping a kid in kindergarden or waking up to cook breakfast and pack for lunch. She was a wild one, a woman with a free soul. She may be in her thirties but damn, this was what I always wanted.
I held Xandra's hands, firm and made sure her eyes were on as I spoke "I'll make sure he can never touch you again. We'll go to Los Angeles, you can live there with me." I just met her but I was already promising her a life, wow. Xandra remained speechless until she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in, her face was buried on the crook of my neck.
I could tell no one had ever treated her this way, my intentions with her was pure even if at first it seemed like we were just kissing for fun. She cupped my face and my eyes met her teary ones, "Yes, I'll come with you." Her voice was broken and weak.
That night, I took her with me in the hotel room I was staying at. I didn't tell my father that we met and told him that I would be flying home to L.A the next day because of an urgent meeting with a client, fortunately he didn't ask for anything anymore. Xandra laid in the king sized bed wearing my shirt, she was fast asleep and curled up on the left side. After booking a flight online I joined her, she must have felt me pulling her close so she scooted her body closer and her head was on my chest. And that night, I slept with a smile on my face.
