"Stop you're hurting me."She winced when he pinned her hands to the wall.
"You are messing with a beast wifey."He slurred and chuckled darkly.His warm breath fanning her cheeks sending down shivers to her body.

"Whoops...I'm sorry shister." "Rosa are you drunk?" "Just a lil bit."She gestured showing her index finger and thumb. "Hmm..I see.But what made you do that?You're never a drinker." But Roxanna's eye were staring at the corner where a very handsome guy was dancing with a beautiful women. "Who's that?"Anastasia raised her eyebrow and enquired. "No..no one.Ana can you take me home please?I don't think I feel well." "Sure.." "No,not my place.Let's go to yours.Is that alright?I'm not intruding?I don't want to be alone tonight." "Never Rosa.That's your home too. Let me get Xander first." Roxanna swayed a bit. "Whoa..You madam has completely overindulged today."Anastasia pointed out accusingly like a mother hen fussing over its chicklets.She assisted Roxanna to sit on a chair. Just then Xavier walked towards them. "Hey guys enjoying yourself?" "Sshhh..You're loud.Let's go home pleaaase."Roxanna whined like a little kid. "What the everloving fuck!Are you drunk Roxanna?" "Geezz..quiet." "Xavier can you take Rosa to the parking area.I'll get Xander."She didn't wait for his reply.For she knew the two will keep on bantering forever.
She hurriedly move towards the other end of the room.Xavier walked restlessly towards the very impressive bar area.There was a frown between his eyes and lines on his handsome face which has beguiled so many women were sharply etched. He was worried,and it showed in every movement he made,in every breath he drew.
He walked to the grog-tray in the corner,and poured himself out a glass of scotch.
"Is drinking,order of the day today?" Anastasia joked.Xander's body stiffened.His body faced the opposite side,so it was impossible for Anastasia to see his expression.
"None of your business."Anastasia was now accustomed to Xander's pert remarks. "Ohh but it is.You see its not nothing.Its just your coping mechanism when life goes downhill."Anastasia remarked dryly.
Xander looked at her startled.Anastasia was very perceptive he would give her that.If only she knew how much he was hating her and his life right now.
"Who has been talking to you about me?" "No one and before you lash out at me again.Hear me out.Your sister is drunk.And she wants to stay with us today. "What?Drunk?Rosa?"Xander seemed confused. "Ofcourse she can stay with us.You did not uninvite her did you?"Xander asked sharply. Anastasia's eyes widened. "How dare you think of me like that?Do I hold so little in your eyes?" Xander still looked at her accusingly.Anastasia was very angry with him. "If Rosa stays with us.You're staying in my room."Xander said somewhat begrudgingly. "Huh?What?" "If you've forgotten.We are to behave like a normal couple infront of my family.I don't want any further problems." Anastasia gulped.Staying in a room with Xander. Xander held Anastasia's arm and let her towards the exit.A familiar quiver ran down her body.
"Xavier you're a bad brother.Where is my big bro?Xanderrr."Roxanna slurred loudly. Xander reached hurriedly towards Roxanna. "What the hell is going on?" "Ask her brother.One of Rosa's bitch fit." "Xanderr..Please take me home brother." "Ofcourse lil sis."Xander said soothingly.
"Are you sure? I can take Rosa to my place." "Nooo...Go awayy..I want to be with Ana and Xander..Ana is my sister and my bestfriend." Rosa pouted adorably. All of them smiled at her.Roxanna always oozed out confident but somehow she seemed vulnerable today.Anastasia decided to talk to her in the morning.
When they reached home.Xavier carried Roxanna to a guest room. "Sleep tight princess."Xavier kissed her forehead followed by Xander and Anastasia.
"Xavier its too late.I think you should stay in too."Anastasia said kindly. "Uhmm.." "Absolutely..Sia is right.Besides this is a mansion.Take up any room you want Xav.I'll ask Mrs.Katherine to see to your comfort." "Why thank you brother."Xavier said graciously. With that Xander and Anastasia moved towards Xander's bedroom.Anastasia's heart ran like a racer in a marathon. As soon as she reached his room.She gasped in wonder.

His room aptly describe his aura.It was set with dark wooden ceiling with black decor.Everything seemed black just as the perfect backdrop for its occupant.Xander made his way to his bathroom.Meanwhile she made a tour to his room. The whole room had a combination of black....and black. She sat on his bed and noticed the black sheets were very soft.Even the blinds on the windows were black.He must really like black..she thought to herself.
Without saying anything Anastasia quickly went to her own room.Removing her clothes,she took a warm bath and got in her beautiful red night suit.She stepped outside her room and stealthily reached Xander's room. She realised Xander has taken a bath himself.Water dripping from his hair and body.He was wearing nothing but his black boxers.A towel hung around his neck.He looked sexy as sin.Anastasia realised she was staring.She quickly diverted her eyes.Xander stood looking at her strangely. Then suddenly his eyes becoming somewhat hard and voice becoming cold he caught Anastasia's wrist painfully. She flinched in pain. "Where do you think you're going?"He asked angrily. "To sleep?" "On my bed?Never..Go sleep on the floor." "Excuse me?Did you say floor? "You heard it.I don't like to repeat myself." He settled himself on his bed and threw a pillow on her face. All the while Anastasia stood frozen looking at Xander surprisingly.
'Who is this man?And why was he behaving like this again?'She asked herself for the umpteenth time. Very slowly she laid down on the cold hard floor.Her silk night suit did nothing to protect against the coldness of the room.There was no warmth in it.Just like the man who was her husband.This was the beast.And for the first time she realised that Xander's wall was very hard to break.It may end up breaking her.She shivered the whole night tossing and turning......
