Xavier's Obsession

Xavier's Obsession

**Excerpt** “Can't sleep?” I ask. She shrugs and turns back to the TV, while I study her side profile. It's as if I'm seeing her in a new light. Her long red hair is pulled into a high bun, showing off her slim neck and I feel the sudden urge to lick it. I move forward slowly, my eyes trained on the pulse beating below her ear. I'm so focused on her neck that I don't even see her hand coming until it connects with my face, sending my head snapping to the side. “What the hell is wrong with you?” She snaps. My ears ring as I rear back, smirking mildly. “Fuck, that was wild I knew you had a naughty side to you, Audrey Watson.” *** Living with her mortal savior proved to be a challenge for Audrey Watson, but since the day she was born, life had always thrown her challenges so what was one more? Little did she know that this particular challenge came with a twist. She didn't expect to fall in love with him and when she finally realized, he was getting ready for his wedding.

Chapter: Chapter 11: I Don't Know The Code.
Audrey.It's noon when I wake up on the couch. I sit up and stretch, noticing that the TV is still on. I make a mental note to inform Xavier about the woman that came to see him today. That would be when he gets back though. I didn't let her in, nor did I talk to her. It took quite a while before she left, as she was really convinced that Xavier was home. But then, could I blame her? I had left the TV on when I went to take a shower and the sound of the TV was what convinced her that Xavier was home. As she persisted in ringing the doorbell, I had made myself comfortable on the couch, my heart thrumming in my chest as I watched the news channel that was on. That was how I fell asleep. So far, there's been no mention of me on the news. And I don't know if I should be relieved or scared. I turn off the TV, standing up from the couch as a yawn escapes from my mouth. I'm painfully bored and I decide to do some stretching in my bedroom. It's during the process of stretching that I n

Chapter: Chapter 10: My Alleged Fiance.
Xavier.“You're back?” The look of surprise on Carla's face is hard to miss as I step out of the elevator, arriving on the fifth floor where my office is located. Another thing that's hard to miss? Her wrinkled blouse and smudged lipstick. And not to mention the blue-eyed idiot that's currently smirking at me. Ethan looks pleased with himself as he fixes his hair leisurely. He knew I was back and he definitely knew I would come to the office this morning. I wonder how long they've been at it.“My office,” I say, looking directly at him as I speak. He shrugs and makes his way into my office, without waiting for me. I glance at Carla who looks mortified. She's shaking as she wrings her hands together, nervously. “I'm sorry, Xavier—”“That would be Mr. Kingston to you from now on, Carla.”Her eyes shoot up in surprise, and maybe… hurt? I don't have it in me to give a fuck about her feelings, so I continue.“And the next time you feel like making out with my best friend or anyone for

Chapter: Chapter 9: You Can Run But You're Still My Heir.
Xavier.Today is probably the worst day of my life, and it's just starting. First, I wake up with a throbbing headache and while in the shower, I almost slip on the tiles. It happens all of a sudden that my heart actually skips a beat. That's definitely a bad omen and for a moment, I think of skipping the meeting I have with Melrose. But then, I can't. My contract with them means so much to me. So I take some Advil and hurry to the meeting down at Kingston Corporations. Again, I don't understand why Melrose will rather meet at my father's company. But I'm about to find out.I know the structure of the company like the back of my hand. After all, I was supposed to run it and I've been training for the position of the CEO in the company before falling out with my father. As I exit the elevator, I stride purposefully to the office of the CEO. Although my father is retired, I know he'll come in today and probably give my younger brother a break, just so he can play out his schemes.I'

Chapter: Chapter 8: Should I Open The Door Or Not?
Audrey.Xavier looks so delicious—looking up at me with those green eyes that seem to break through my defenses—as he asks the question. And that seems to snap me out of my daze and back to reality.I had allowed the wine to get into my head, although that's not the entire reason. At that moment, I wanted to know how it feels to be eaten out. I needed to know how it feels when someone makes my pleasure their priority. And Xavier seems like the kind of person who would know what to do. I can see his desire to make me feel worshipped, even now. In fact, it almost seems like pleasuring me turns him on.But I know I can't allow myself to indulge in this tonight. Or ever. If I do, then tonight, he'll be pleasuring me orally. Tomorrow, he'll want me naked. I can't let him see my scars. I can't bear the look of disgust that'll be on his face.Besides, as long as Brandon is still out there, I can't get attached to Xavier. He'll die when Brandon comes for me and it'll be better to watch him d

Chapter: Chapter 7: Wine Plus Whiskey Equals…
Xavier. Thirty minutes into the drive and Audrey is asleep. I glance at her every now and then, especially when I hit a bump but she's fast asleep. There's a peaceful expression on her face and I draw in a deep breath when I realize that I've never seen her with that expression before. She's either guarded, hurt or scared. Oh, I've seen her angry too–that was the expression on her face before she finally managed to fall asleep. I turn my attention back to the road and my thought strays to the phone call I received earlier, from my father. He always makes me angry. Even now, my hands clench on the steering wheel as I think of him. He had gotten his hands on Melrose Apparels—the overseas company I purchase my fabrics from. Custom-made fabrics, if I may add. God only knows why he still bothers with business when he has clearly retired and left the company to Conrad, my younger brother. But somehow, he managed to strike a deal with the CEO of Melrose Apparels and he's now call

Chapter: Chapter 6: Dreams Are For Losers.
Audrey. “Are you okay?” I didn't realize Xavier had come down from the car until I hear his voice behind me. I nod and turn to face him, annoyed when I see the look of concern on his face. He goes to get the bottle of water he had bought earlier and opens it, extending it to me. Rinsing my mouth, I avoid eye contact with him. “Are you upset with me?” He asks. “Does it matter?” I bite back angrily, still not looking at him. “You're leaving anyway.” He doesn't speak after that. Once I'm sure my mouth is clean, I hand the bottle back to him and make my way to the passenger seat to grab my box of muffins. As I walk towards the Golden Bar, I stop. “Well, I guess this is goodbye.” Not waiting for a reply, I continue walking. He doesn't try to stop me and that hurts a lot. I can feel tears in my eyes but I don't let them fall and I don't turn back. I keep walking until I disappear around the back of the building, using the small door to slip into the bar. It isn't until I make
