Xavier's POV:

She's asleep peacefully in my arms while I could feel my dick throbbing in my trousers.

Listening to her moaning my name had me fucking hard as a rock. I had to fight so goddamn hard not to rip her clothes off her delicate body.

Every sound and every movement she made had me crumbling inside. She's too pure, too innocent for me to taint her, but I can't help it anymore, it's way out of my control.

And to be honest? I don't think I want to anymore. I've had a taste of her and now it's impossible to stop. I'm fucked.

Sliding out the bed making sure she doesn't wake up I walked towards the bathroom to take care of a very rock-hard problem in my trousers.

Setting the shower at the cold temperature I jumped it, letting the cold water calm my nerves down. I can't even count the number of times I had to take a cold shower when she unknowingly gives me a boner.

Getting done I wrapped a dry towel around my hips and ran my fingers through my hair pushing them off my face when my eyes landed on the mirror.

She likes my tattoos.

I could feel my heart do a goddamn flip when I remembered her calling my tattoos pretty. So fucking adorable.

I've been complimented a lot about many different things but none of them ever stuck around. But this time I can tell this one will.

I walked out to find her still asleep, legs on full display making my hands itch to touch her again, to make her whimper and cry in pleasure again but I tore my gaze off before I had to take yet another cold shower.

Getting dressed I combed my hair back and walked towards the sleeping beauty in my bed. She looked so peaceful, so comfortable that I couldn't bring myself to wake her up, so instead, I left her a note.

Pressing my lips softly against her forehead I ran my eyes over her once more before walking out of the room.

Claire's POV:

I woke up feeling oddly happy and giddy. The events of a few hours before were still really fresh in my mind and it only made me blush like a madman.

Rolling onto Xavier's side, it was cold. He has been gone for a while. I could feel my heart lumping into my stomach as I sat up. Why didn't he wake me up?

My eyes fell on a small note on his bedside table so I reached for it.

"Be ready at 8" was written in neat writing with a very cute smiley face at the end making me smile at his cute gesture. Never thought the deadly mafia lord can be cute.

Letting out a soft yawn I slide off his bed. As I stood up I could feel a little ache in my lower region, where his fingers were not too long ago. I still can't believe that actually happened.

Sneaking out of his bedroom I looked around to find the corridor empty, no maids were around which I was thankful for.

Speed walking to my bedroom I got in the bathroom and looked over myself in the mirror my face went bright red when my eyes took in my appearance.

The first two buttons of my shirt were undone by him. Feeling giddy I stripped out of my clothes and jumped in the shower to get clean.

As I got done I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom to change into something comfortable but all I had was Jean shorts and tank tops. Ella didn't put any of my comfy pj's.

Nibbling onto my bottom lip I creek open my door and tiptoed to Xavier's room.

Getting in I went into his closet and my eyes landed on a white shirt that looked big but comfortable so I took it and threw it on buttoning it up. Let's hope Xavier won't mind me stealing his shirts.

Walking out I made sure to grab the note he left me. It gave me major butterflies.

Rushing into the library I sat down in my fav spot with a book in my lap.

Placing the note over the book I doodled a tiny heart in front of the smiley face and slide the note into my all-time favourite book "ignite me"

Putting the book aside with a stupid smile on my face I pulled over a small blanket before I continued reading the book I was reading yesterday.

~~~~~~

Hours passed by and I was beginning to feel hungry so I jumped off the couch and looked over at the time. 4 pm.

Xavier told me to be ready by 8, but he didn't mention what for.

Walking out of the library I skipped down the stairs and straight into the kitchen.

"Good evening Paul, how's your knee?" I asked when I saw Paul stirring something on the stove.

"It's better dear, are you hungry?" He asked turning to look at me and a look of shock flashed through his eyes for a millisecond making me confused, then I realised what I had on, Xavier's shirt.

"Starving actually, but I'm just gonna have an apple" I said and picked up an apple from the basket to which he let out a soft chuckle and went back to cooking whatever he was making, and whatever it was, it smelled delicious.

Bitting down on the apple I mindlessly walked towards the garden when my eyes landed on an unfamiliar woman watering the plants.

A sense of peace coursed through me and I walked towards the pool and sat at the edge dipping my feet in the water.

Sitting there thousands of thoughts entered my mind. Especially about Xavier. I don't know the reason I was brought here to this day and even though things are taking an unexpected turn between me and Xavier, a huge part of me feels like I'm being held in the dark.

I need to know who are these people Xavier talks about, and what does that have anything to do with me? What is the connection?

And to get my answers I need to question the devil himself.

~~~~

It was now 7 pm so I got back in the house and into my room to change.

Getting in my closet I threw on a pair of shorts and a tank top with tiny sunflowers all over it.

Tying my hair up in a ponytail I let out a hiss when a sharp pain coursed through the back of my head, where Tristan had hit my head on the wall yesterday. There was a bump. This is why my head has been hurting all day.

Letting out a sigh I let my hair down before applying a bit of mascara and lip tint. Running my eyes over myself once more I was satisfied with how I looked.

Then my eyes fell on the scar on my thigh, peeking out my shorts.

Mindlessly I ran my fingers over it. How can someone who scarred me makes me feel the safest now? Why does my heart beat at an abnormal pace every time I'm around him? This isn't good I know, but for some reason, it feels right.

A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts and soon walked in Paul.

"Master said to let you know he's outside dear" he said with a sweet smile.

"Thanks, Paul, I'll be down in a second" I said giving him a soft smile and he walked out.

Going into my closet I threw on a pair of sneakers and rushed down the stairs and out the main door. For some reason, I feel excited.

Getting out my eyes fell on Xavier leaning over his car.

I walked towards him and my eyes involuntarily ran over his appearance.

His hair was slicked back, a little messy with a thick strand falling over his forehead which only made him look like a model straight out of a magazine.

His tie was loosely hanging around his neck with his sleeves rolled up his elbow. Holy molly.

"It's rude to stare Doll" His deep voice pulled me back into reality and I could feel my face turning red to which his smirk only grew, making me lower my head.

"You will get cold in that angel" he said pointing at my top and I bite my lip, embarrassed. Why every time he calls me such names I feel like melting?!

"I didn't have anything else to wear" I muttered to which a frown appeared on his pretty face.

"Wait" he said and opened his door to pull something out.

Pulling his suit jacket out he gestured for me to come forward and I obeyed and walked closer to him, now standing within his arm's reach.

Swinging his suit jacket over my shoulder he ran his eyes over me once more as a satisfied look took over his features.

"Let's get going" he said and held his hand out for me to hold and I placed my hand into his, feeling an intense electricity course through my body which gathered at the pit of my stomach. Get a grip, Claire!

As I got in the car I suck in a deep breath letting his smell put me at ease as always, and his jacket only gave me more warmth and comfort allowing my racing heart to rest.

Getting in the car he began driving and the street lights caught my attention as I placed my hand on the glass window and looked outside with a smile playing on my lips.

After a while of driving, the car came to a halt in front of a fancy restaurant. We're here for dinner? But why did he bring me out for dinner? Is this a date..?

Definitely not, I'm thinking too much about it.

My thoughts were interrupted when two men dressed in all-white uniforms rushed to the car and opened both my and Xavier's door.

Letting out a soft thank you I walked towards Xavier who handed over his keys to one of the guys.

As we began walking towards the restaurant I felt Xavier wrap his arm around my waist pulling me more into his side causing a deep blush to creep up my face.

Going in a waiter lead us to an empty table and gave us our menus.

"What can I get you for starters" the waiter asked both of us.

"Just water please" I mumbled and he noted it down.

"Red wine" Xavier ordered to which the waiter nodded and walked away.

"Give me your hand Doll" Xavier's voice came making me look at him confused. But held my hand out to him nevertheless.

He held my outstretched hand in his before pulling something out of his pocket making me instinctively pull my hand back.

He looked at me confused with furrowed brows.

"Relax Doll, I wasn't gonna hurt you" he said with a bit of pain lacing his voice.

He slowly reached for my hand again and put a seemingly brand new phone into my palm making me look at it and then back at him, completely bewildered.

"I want you to have this and I've already put mine, Derek's and Oliver's numbers in it, you can add whoever else you want" he said and I looked at him in disbelief. Is he for real..?

He let out the softest chuckle and shook his head.

"Yes Doll, I'm for real" he said with a slight smirk. Shit, I said it out loud!

"I'm trusting you with this Doll, do not make me regret it" he warned and I slowly nodded at him, still in shock.

The waiter came back with our drinks and left when we gave him our orders. Everything here seemed expensive but delicious.

I could feel Xavier's eyes on me while I was sipping on my water.

Lifting my face our eyes connected.

"It's rude to stare" I mumbled softly repeating his own words and he let out a deep chuckle, melting me on the spot!

"Being brave huh little one?" He teased not taking his eyes off me, making me blush like crazy. I really like the sound of his laugh. It's so rich and deep.

Soon the food arrived and we both began eating. I could feel eyes on me but when I looked up at Xavier, he was busy eating.

Running my eyes around us my eyes fell on a familiar face.

In the very far corner, stood pissed off .fTristan.

From this far away I couldn't make it up properly but he did not look happy.

My heart immediately dropped to my stomach and I lost all my appetite. Not daring to look in his direction again I pretended as if I haven't even seen him, but that did not help one bit. I was scared and the worst part I couldn't even tell Xavier about it, I need to act cool. Deep breaths Claire, he can't harm you while you're with Xavier, you're safe.

"Claire?" Xavier's deep voice broke my panicking thoughts and I looked at him.

"You haven't touched your food yet" he stated looking at me, trying to figure me out.

"Y-Yes I'm eating" I mumbled and began forcing small bites into my mouth.

"Claire you look pale, are you okay?" He asked, concern lacing his words.

Not looking up at him I gave him a soft nod but his eyes were still on me.

After a few minutes, I mustered up the courage to run my eyes around the restaurant and this time I was relieved when I didn't see Tristan anywhere. Thank god.

Letting out a deep breath I looked up at Xavier just to find him already staring at me, his brown orbs swimming with worry.

The waiter came with our bill and Xavier stood up after paying and I followed him closely out of the restaurant.

As we got out I could feel the same creepy feeling return, and when I looked around I didn't see anyone looking my way. Relax Claire.

I held onto Xavier's jacket around my shoulders to feel protected.

And just on cue Xavier wrapped his arm around my waist walking us towards the car, and that's when I felt protected, I felt safe.

Getting in the car I let out a sigh of relief and Xavier began driving.

My focus then went to the phone Xavier had just given me. Picking it up I turned it on and as he said a few numbers were already saved with their names, having Xavier's number on speed dial.

When I couldn't hold back the curiosity any longer I spoke.

"You gave me a cellphone, what if I call the cops on you?"

A wide smirk plastered on his lips and he glanced at me for a short second before speaking.

"Cute" he muttered making getting his focus back on the road.

"Cute?" I asked confused.

"It's cute that you think the cops can do me any harm angel" he spoke and his tone changed from playful to a dangerously low tone making me regret ever saying such a thing to him.

"Do not make me regret making this decision, you wouldn't like the consequences Doll" he warned, his voice now void of any emotion making me gulp and nod silently. Well done Claire.

Unknown's POV:

"How much more time do you need?" I asked feeling my patience ticking off with every passing minute.

"I'm not tracking just anybody, it's Xavier fucking Winston. If you think finding him is a piece of cake you're goddamn wrong" Evan snapped.

"I know who the fuck he is, that's why I need you to step up your game Evan, or it won't end well for you" I warned and walked out of the room.

I will find you Xavier and I will make you pay for fucking with my sister.
