Claire's POV:

It's been 3 days since I last saw Xavier. And I can't deny the fact I have been missing him awfully.

I have been sleeping in his room every night, and the times Derek is busy I spend it reading in his room because it makes me feel closer to him, and it's the only thing that kept me calm the past few days.

Don't get me wrong Derek has been nothing but generous towards me, he makes me laugh to the point my stomach starts hurting, and we have so much fun together. He's been taking me out to a coffee house that I took a liking to.

But I miss Xavier, I miss his embrace, I miss the warmth he offers, the way he makes me feel when he looks at me longingly, and the way he touches me, making me think of sinful fantasies.

Right now I am sitting in his room, in his bed. Reading.

Derek has been on an important call all day today, something about an upcoming shipment.

Feeling the urge to pee I closed my book and walked into the bathroom to do my business. After I was done I pulled my hair up in a loose bun and brushed my teeth.

I brought a couple of my supplies to Xavier's room since I was practically staying in there and he hasn't been home for the past 3 days.

Walking out my breath hitched in my throat when I saw a tall figure standing by the bed, with my book in his hands.

"Xavier?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Xavier's POV:

I finally got track of him, after searching nonstop for 3 days straight we finally got a hold of that prick and now all I need to do is fly back to Newyork and fish the truth out of him, then I'll be able to finally hold my angel in my arms again.

Walking into the house I saw Derek on the phone but as soon as he saw me he cut the call.

"You're back" he muttered before walking up to me.

"I'm flying back to Newyork tonight, keep her safe" I muttered and began walking towards the stairs but he walked in front of me, blocking my path.

"Are you going to talk to her?" He asked, brows furrowed.

My silence gave him his answer and he let out a scoff.

"For how long are you going to keep this up? Because this is a fucking torture for her, she asked me about you over ten times, about when will you be back, and she's been sleeping in your fucking room for days Xavier, she went through a traumatic experience barely a few days ago, and now you're gonna treat her like this? She thinks she did something to fucking upset you!" He roared pushing my chest and making me stumble a step back.

I was furious, but not at him. Because every word he said was true, and everything he said was right. I was furious at myself for making her feel like that. But all I did was to protect her.

"Everything I'm doing is to fucking keep her safe" I snapped.

"Just talk to her Xavier, please, she misses you, she tries to cover it but the sad look in her eyes says it all every time she asks me about you." He sighed and walked away, leaving his words like a heavy weight on my chest.

Letting out a heavy sigh I walked up the stairs and into my room just to find the door slightly ajar.

Walking in I ran my eyes around the room. The room was exactly how I left it except for a book on my bed, with her phone and earphones beside it.

Walking forward I picked up the book. She really has been staying in my room..?

"Xavier?"

Her soft velvety voice hit me like a melody. I never thought I'd miss anyone, let alone their voice.

Putting down the book I turned to look at her, just to see her in my shirt. She's making it even harder for me to leave.

"Hello angel" I whispered and out of nowhere she zoomed towards me, wrapping her tiny arms around my waist and pulling me in her tight embrace, catching me off guard. I've been longing to feel her in my arms, this is what I've been wanting, for her to hug me like this. And now that I have it, I have to leave..

Wrapping my arms around her I held her close against my chest breathing in her comforting scent.

"I m-missed you" she mumbled against my chest making my heart increase its pace.

Slightly pulling away I lift her face to see all the marks and bruises were gone. Absent-mindedly I began rubbing circles on her delicate skin to which she leaned into my touch.

"Are you feeling better Doll?" I asked and she only let out a soft hum with her eyes still closed while I caressed her cheek. I felt a sense of happiness fill my heart seeing the effect I have on her.

"I'm leaving for Newyork tonight" I forced the words out and her eyes immediately snapped open looking into mine.

"We're going back?" She asked with a sense of excitement.

"I am, you're staying here with Derek. I will be back in a few days" I informed to which she took a step back with a deep frown on her angelic face.

"What do you mean?" She asked, her voice slightly cracking at the end making me wanna punch myself in the face.

"I have some business to take of there, I can't take you with me" I explained and she shook her head.

"N-No I'm coming too" she said, her lower lip trembling.

"Claire it's not safe there for you" I sighed trying to reach for her arm but she pulled back.

"And how do you know it's safe for me here?" Her voice got harder but her eyes got glossier.

"Derek is here to keep you safe" I muttered and she shook her head while clearly trying to hold back her tears.

"Y-You make me feel safe Xavier, no one else" she whispered and I felt my heart drop at her confession. Fuck.

"I have to go, Claire, it's important" I muttered not daring to see the look in her eyes because I knew it would break me because I know I'd hurt her.

Soft whimpers left her mouth making me snap my eyes at her to see tears dripping down her face, and before I could hold her she dashed out of the room. Real smooth Xavier, real fucking smooth.

Shoving my fingers through my hair I sat on the bed letting out a frustrated sigh. I promise I'll make it up to you angel, I'll fix everything I've fucked up.

Claire's POV:

I couldn't believe him, he's actually gonna leave?

I don't know why but I felt like there was something between us, the way he would look at me, the care, the comfort he offered me. It can't all be nothing...right?

Wiping my face furiously I splashed cold water against my face. If he wanna avoid me then I'll make it easier for him.

Walking out I just layed in bed snuggling my pillow to my chest. Wondering why his behavior changed in just a few days.

⚠️ adult scene ahead ⚠️

The whole day dragged on, I didn't once leave my room. Derek came to call me for lunch but I wasn't feeling hungry so I stayed and listened to songs, trying to keep myself distracted.

I knew I was falling for him, but I didn't realize how fast and hard. I should've known better.

My head was buried in the pillows when I heard a knock on my door.

"I'm not hungry Derek" I hollered hoping for him to go away, but then heard my door opening.

"Why haven't you eaten anything all day?"

Instead of Derek, Xavier's deep voice came making me sit up and look at him.

"I'm not hungry" I mumble and he let out a sigh shaking his head.

"Come downstairs angel and eat, it's not a request" he ordered but I stood up and walked towards the bathroom instead, trying to ignore him.

But his hand grabbed my upper arm twisting me around and pulling me against his chest to face him while my hands laid flat on his chest.

"Do not walk away from me when I'm talking to you" he warned, not letting go of my arm.

"I don't wanna talk to you" I grumbled back looking straight into his eyes. He seemed slightly surprised by my direct reply.

"What was that angel?" His tone got low as his eyes never left mine, my arm still in his grip.

"I don't wanna talk-"

My sentence was cut off when he smashed his lips on mine catching me off guard.

Before I could react to his sudden action he pulled back. Running his eyes over my face he cursed under his breath and closed his eyes, letting out a deep shaky breath.

"Fucking hell Claire" he cursed before smashing his lips back onto mine, harsher this time. His lips sucked onto my lip with want, with hunger.

I could feel my knees giving in but thankfully he rested his large hands around my waist, holding me firmly against his body.

Running my hand up and back to his neck he let out a throaty groan and slammed me against the wall, pinning my hands above my head as he kissed me passionately.

I was beginning to run out of breath when he pulled his lips away just to press them against my neck. Leaving a trail of soft pecks down my collarbone while I bit my lip holding my moans in.

I sigh as his hand creeps up to cup my breast, squeezing gently before his thumb begins to circle the nub, forcing me to let a shaky breath out.

I could feel the hotness pooling in between my legs as my core throbbed in the desire to be touched and played with.

His lips slowly trailed up from my collarbone up to my neck and then he placed a soft kiss behind my ear making me shudder in delight.

"Fuck baby" he whispered, his voice deep and raspy giving me goosebumps while my heart hammered against my chest like a madman.

He trailed soft kisses down my jaw and pushed his thigh between my legs, slowly moving it, while I tried not to moan and grind against his thigh.

His leg picked up the speed and I could feel my core getting tighter with his every rub. I let out soft whimpers and moans and his hold over my breast only tightened.

"You don't realize the things you do to me Doll" his deep voice grumbled against my ear dampening my panties.

Letting go of my hands he picked me up by my waist and I instantly hooked my legs around his waist. A gasp escaped my lips when I felt his rock-hard arousal pressed against my very wet core.

The only thing separating us was his trousers and a thin layer of my short shorts yet I could feel his hardness rubbing against my wet center.

He pressed further into me, pushing me against the wall before burying his nose in the crook of my neck as heavy pants escaped his lips.

He cursed under his breath and his hands squeezed the sides of my waist pulling me impossibly closer to him as he began grinding himself against me while deep groans left his lips as he sucked a sweet spot on my neck, arching my back I tugged onto his hair which only caused him to fasten his pace earing breathy moans from me.

Keeping my legs tight around his waist I could feel myself getting closer to my orgasm with his every move. And by the way he was digging his fingers into my sides and groaning with every grind, I knew he was too.

His lips freed the skin of my neck as they traveled back up to my lips before molding them together and I returned the kiss with the same hunger.

He let out a throaty moan when I pulled his face closer deepening the kiss as he began grinding faster and harsher bringing me on the edge of my orgasm as my stomach twisted in unexplainable pleasure.

One of his hands rested on my throat slightly pressing, but not hard enough to cut my oxygen supply.

"X-Xavier I can't-" I moaned feeling desperate to get my release and his hold around my neck tightened while he rested his forehead against mine, breathing heavily before grunting and pressing hard into me making my legs shake as my eyes rolled at the back of my head feeling the hotness seep through the thin material of my shorts.

We stayed still. His forehead pressed against me while the only sound in the room was our heavy breaths.

Pulling back his eyes lazily traveled down my face and he slowly leaned forward connecting our lips in a soft and slow kiss, way different and delicate than the one we shared earlier.

"Let's get you cleaned up hm?" He whispered against my lips causing redness to spread through my face while he carried me towards the bathroom and gently set me down on my feet.

Making sure that I was standing properly on my feet he pressed his lips against my forehead and walked out of the bathroom leaving me dumbstruck. Holy molly...
