My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter XVIII

The Past

My eyes opened to the sunlight outside the window. I groaned and turned my head away. "Ow." My neck hurt when I turned. "What's wrong?" I heard Xavier ask groggily. "Nothing, I'll be fine. Sleep." I didn't want to wake him up because I knew he'd have to wake up to work.

"Tell me." he opened his eyes and looked down at me. "My neck, it hurts." I broke under his gaze. "The mark," his voice trailed off. "It's gonna hurt for a little while." His fingers brushed it and sparks flew through my every nerve in my body.

"You should just rest today." he told me. "I need to perform a spell today so after that I'll rest." I explained. "Why?" he curiously asked. "I got a bad feeling yesterday so there may be a spell to help." I explained. "Fine but I want to be there. Now come here." he grinned as he pulled me up to his lips.

My hands immediately traveled to his hair and his went to mine. He pulled me impossibly closer to him and used his other hand to grab my butt. Every touch just sent an inexplainable feeling through my body. I felt electrified. Alive. Happy.

I pulled away and sat up. "Why?" he fake pouted. "We need to get ready." I chuckled. "Fine." he rolled his eyes. He carried me off his lap and placed me on the floor. "Alright let's go." he wrapped his hands around my waist and placed his chin on top of my head.

I looked up at him was met with a goofy grin. I started walking and he just waddled behind me. We got in the bathroom and I wanted to shower first but he wouldn't get out. "I'll just shower then." Before I knew it, he was naked before my eyes.

As much as I tried to look away, I couldn't. My eyes traced every inch of his body. He had a few unnoticeable tattoos on his chest. He worked out a lot and it showed. He had bulging muscles and a nice six pack.

I wanted to look away so bad but I saw it. His cock. He was huge. All of a sudden, I felt his hand under my chin and he was pulling my head up. I visibly gulped in front of him. He leaned down and kissed me in a soft, passionate kiss.

Like clockwork, my hands went up to his neck and I pulled him closer. I'd never verbally admitted it but I think I was falling in love with him. He pulled away and smiled at me. "Shower with me." I was shocked at what he said.

"It's nothing I won't see later." he winked before backing up. He turned on the shower, "You coming?" I stripped my clothes and was in the shower with him in seconds. He had me wrapped around his finger and I think he knew it.

Xavier was coming with me to the spell room in case anything went wrong. He trailed behind me as I lead the way. We'd gotten more intimate and I didn't know if it was the mate bond but I truly believed I was starting to love him.

I looked up at him and he looked deep in thought or like he was mindlinking someone. "If you're needed elsewhere, you can go. I'll be fine." I stopped walking and grabbed his arm. He shook his head, "I'm not going anywhere princess." He kissed the top of my head and I smiled.

I turned around and kept walking. We finally arrived and I walked in. The place looked kind of bland, I wanted someone to decorate it but they could accidentally touch something and anything could go wrong.

I knelt down in front of the table holding the candles and salt. "I need my grimoire." I muttered quietly, remembering that I'd left it in the room. "This one?" Xavier held it out in front of me.

"Thank you." I smiled

"No problem my queen." he grinned cheekily.

I organized my grimoire specifically in a way that I would remember where everything was.

I passed each page until I found the one I was looking for.

I set the grimoire to the side and recited the spell.

"Est aliquid contingat"

"Est aliquid contingat"

"Est aliquid contingat" Normally I would be starting to feel weak but right now, it's like I'm barely using magic.

"Est aliquid contingat"

The vision came to me as I recited the spell one last time.

I gasped in shock and backed away from the table, breathing heavily.

"Hey hey, what's wrong?" I felt Xavier's arm on me and I pulled him closer to me and hugged him tight.

"I- I figured out what the rogues plans are." I stuttered quietly.

"It- Th- Breathe babygirl. Breathe and talk to me. Nothing is going to happen to you while I'm here." he comforted me.

I took a deep breath.

"They want me." I said quietly.

"We know that but they're not getting their grimy little hands on you." he smiled softly.

"No you don't understand," he furrowed his brows at my words.

"They're going to kidnap me. Tomorrow."
