Sneak peak -
Xavier growled possessively, walking towards me like the predator that he truly was. Staring into the endless pools of his eyes, I saw as raw, primitive need took over every ounce of him and all it did was turn...
You've made me so happy with all the support lately and it's my turn to give back in the one way I know how to - Updates!

Chapter XVIII
We were walking on the streets of Venice, having ditched the car. It was just Xavier and I, walking step in step, close enough for people to know we were out together but still had enough space for them to wonder if we were friends.
Not that I cared.
After all the dancing I had done in the heels, I was sure I'd have blisters on my feet. It didn't make walking around on the side-walk any easier.
"So," Xavier said, "How do you know that girl?"
I smiled, "We were dorm mates in college."
"Really? You lived in college dorms?" He asked keenly.
"Yes actually. My parents insisted to at least buy me an apartment but New York is an expensive place to live in. Plus, I didn't want to be a burden to them. University offered me a scholarship and I didn't think twice as I moved out. Of course, I still had to pay for housing but that much I didn't mind asking my parents for. Still, I payed them back by the time I graduate. Dance gigs actually pay more than yo think they do." I giggled.
"That's impressive compared to me." He said.
"Oh really? Being crowned the 'king' of the entire werewolf population obviously isn't that big of a deal." I teased.
"I'm talking about college beautiful."
"What did you major in?" I asked. Now that I think about it, I had no clue about his past or what he enjoyed doing, his hobbies and I was rather eager to find out every nook and corner about him, every unturned page of his story.
"My father wanted me to major in business studies, he always said it was the future. It was actually going pretty great until my final year. I was declared a rogue and thrown out of pack." He explained.
"Oh." I didn't want to ask him about why he was thrown out, I wanted him to tell me on his own terms.
"Would you like to get something to eat?" He asked, hands tucked in his crisp pockets.
"That would actually be great." I said, looking up at him,"All that dancing makes a woman damn hungry."
"Well then, it would be my greatest pleasure to feed you, my hungry queen." He did a little curtsy and I couldn't lie, my heart skipped a beat.
I slapped his shoulder playfully, "Let's get going, I might just eat you instead."
