4 days later I wake up to Christine crying next to me, so I get up and unclip my bra to start feeding her. As I lie back, I look over at the clock on my nightstand. It's 5 A.M. I look over to Xavier's side of the bed and he's fast asleep. He must be worn out, staying up all night to watch me and the baby sleep. I keep telling him that he doesn't have to stay up and that we'll be fine, but we both know he's gonna do it anyway. As I feed Christine, I feel Xavier shifting next to me. He turns over to me and throws his arm over my thighs to place his hand on my hip, putting his hand underneath my panties to touch my bare skin. Good god, both of them act like they want to live in my skin. When Christine unlatches, I put her on my shoulder and I pat her back softly and she burps and spits up some of the milk she drank. "You drank too much, babe." I say, getting her burp cloth off the nightstand. I wipe my shoulder off and I wipe her mouth and then she's fast asleep on top of me. I look
I carry Christine in her carrier as we go through metal detectors and scanners. After we get past the metal detectors, Xavier grabs my hand and has to scan his other hand and his face to get through a massive gate. When we walk to the other side of the gate, two guards step in front of me and look down at me. "I.D please." they say. "She's with me." Xavier says, his body tense. "Your father demanded-" "I don't give a damn what he demanded. Who do you work for?" he says, squaring up to the guards, making them take cautious steps back. "You, sir." one of them say. "Exactly, which means I can have your asses right back on the streets where you came from in a split second." he says, his hand tightening around mine. I put my hand on his and he releases some of the tension in his hand. He huffs and fixes his tie, walking past the guards. "That's five hundred off both your checks." he says, walking into the building. We walk on polished marble concrete floors and it's completely qui
Xavier's POV: Things just got real. I was hoping this wouldn't happen. But in a way, I knew it would. Dionne stands in the middle of the ring as King stands at the side, everyone staying as quiet as possible. Nobody ever speaks when the boss or their partner are at the center of attention, so they all stay quiet. "What'd you say?" Dionne says, inching toward her. "I said that was nothing." Kendall replies. "You want me to show you what I can do?" Dionne says, obvious anger in her tone. Just then, the door opens and Kayno comes through the door. "What's going on here?" Kayno asks, looking at the ring where Dionne's standing. "Kendall?" he asks, as I leave a long kiss on my baby's forehead. "Kendall?!" he whispers violently, realizing what's happening. "I need to stop her. Dionne's gonna kill her if she gets her in that ring." I say kissing Christine again. "You got her car seat?" I ask. "Installed it before I left the house." "You be careful with my child. If I come home and-
Dionne's POV: Xavier's been downstairs for hours. I don't know what he's doing, but I don't really care. Christine starts crying in her crib in her nursery, so I get up and I pick her up and I try to rock her back to sleep, but she's still whining. "Probably needs to be changed." I whisper to myself. I put her on her changing table in her crib, and I get a diaper and baby wipes to change her. "God, you stink." I say, smiling and scrunching my nose. When I finish changing her, I put it inside a diaper disposal bag and I go downstairs to get rid of it. When I get downstairs, carrying Christine, I throw away her diaper and I get a bottle of water, then I go upstairs without looking over at Xavier. I go to my old room and I sit on my bed, watching "The Flash" as I feed Christine. After a couple minutes of nursing her, I hear a soft knock on the door, a deep, smooth voice coming from behind it. "Can you open the door?" Xavier says. "Come in. I'm feeding right now."I say plainly as my e
I finish getting dressed and I go downstairs and there's no seats next to Xavier, so I look around and there's a free seat over by the girls, so I walk over to them and I sit down, all of them with beers in their hands. "Ayo, Kay!" Xavier calls through all the chatter. "Beer?" Kayno asks, digging one out of the cooler. He tosses it over to Xavier and he catches it with his strong hands, his muscles flexing when he catches it and pops it open with his teeth. Z rolls a blunt and Xavier throws him a lighter to light it up with and we all talk, the living room buzzing with laughs from the boys and giggles from the girls, watching their men from across the room. "My God. He's drop dead gorgeous. I can't stop thinking about how good he is." Amber says, practically drooling over Kayno as he nudges Z's arm. "You guys, I kid you not, he knows how to get it done. If someone asked me who the best dick I've ever had came from, it would be him." Riley says, nodding her head. "I think we're ma
6 weeks later Xavier's POV I sit in bed while Dionne's in the shower and I play with Christine, poking her stomach and kissing her cheeks. She smiles a big smile at me and I pick her up and she sneezes. She feels another one coming so she breathes in sharply and lets it go, then does it again and sneezes in my face, making me laugh and jerk back a little. "Bless you, mi amor {my love}." I say, kissing her face. "You need a bath and a hair wash, baby." I say to her, running my fingers over her little head, holding it up with my other hand. Dionne gets out of the shower as I lie the baby back to check her diaper. "She okay?" Dionne asks, walking to the bed to smile and kiss the baby. "She just needs a bath, and daddy's gonna get her one." I say in a high voice. I go to the bathroom and I run a warm bath for the baby, sitting her baby bather in the bathtub to sit her in it. When I'm finished running her bubble bath, I go into the room to get her undressed, then I carefully carry her
Dionne's POV: After Mom and the boys leave, Mark and Riley agree to keep the baby for a while for us. I tell them how to fix her bottles and I give them directions to where her onesies, diapers, and baby wipes are, just in case they need them, and me and Xavier go upstairs, shutting and locking the door behind us. I take my clothes off to get in the shower and I catch a glimpse of my stomach in the mirror. "Wow. It's like I never had the baby." I say, turning to analyze every angle. Xavier comes behind me, naked, and he puts his chin on my shoulder, wrapping his arms around my stomach as he sighs. "You think Christine would act out if she had another sibling .... or three?" "Three?" I scoff. "No way am I pushing out three more babies just for them to come looking like you." I say jokingly."Besides, Christine gave me enough pain to last a lifetime." "I can give you some other kind of pain. The kind that feels good." My stomach boils with need when those words slip out of his mouth.
I wake up in the morning in an empty bed. Christine's still asleep, or else she'd be whining in her crib. I slip on a shirt and I walk out of the room to find Xavier's office door closed with light coming from beneath the door. I walk in and he has a pained expression on his face. "Xavier, what's the matter?" I say, walking behind his desk to sit on his lap. He doesn't say anything as he sits there, staring off. "Xavier, you can talk to me, I promise." I reassure him as I rub his cheek, standing next to him. He suddenly starts crying, making me walk in front of him to straddle his lap and hug him back. "Let it out baby. Let it out." I say, letting him cry on my chest. He hugs me tight, burying his face in my shirt. I run my fingers through his hair, soothing him, and he starts to sniffle, calming down while he lets me go. "Can we talk now? Do you want to talk about it?" I ask him, raking my fingers through his hair, pushing it back from his face. "There was a ... a bombing in Las V
Dionne's POV: It's Xavier's birthday today. Christine and the twins were so excited, they wanted to do something special for him in their own little way. Everyone moved out and settled in their own homes, so now it's just me, Xavier, and the kids. "Mommy, when's Daddy coming home?" Christine asks, looking up at me. "He'll be home soon, baby. He's on the way here now." I say, smiling at her as I get to my knees. "You think Daddy's gonna like what you made him?" I say, my eyes lighting up. "I think he will. Kai and Harley said he wouldn't like it though." she says, frowning. "Kai! Harley! Get down here!" I say. They come down with their heads down, letting me know that they already know they're in trouble. "What did you say to your sister?" I say, looking at the both of them. "Mommy, I said sorry." Kai says. "You can't say mean things like that to your sister. You too, Harley. Daddy already told you not to be mean to your sisters. How do you think he would feel if he knew you we
"Dionne, what's wrong?" I say, gripping her hands in mine. She looks down with her hand over her stomach, blood seeping through her fingers. "Baby, talk to me." I say, panicking. She falls to the floor and I catch her in my arms as she tries her hardest to breathe. Tears prick at my eyes as I watch the life drain out of her. I hear three gunshots ring out and I hear a body drop to the floor, but I never take my eyes off of my wife. I sit there, crying like a baby as I hold her in my arms, hugging her body against mine as I rock with her. She puts her bloody hands on my face as tears flow from her eyes. "Baby, look at me. Look at me." she says, trying to smile through her tears. But I can't. I just can't. "You're gonna be alright, I promise." I say, crying. "Baby, I'm not gonna make it. I can .. I'm bleeding out too quickly, I .. I don't have a lot of time .. " she says, rubbing my cheek with her thumb, wiping away my tears. "Take .. care of our babies, okay? Tell them .. tell the
Xavier's POV: As I stand at the altar, my mind races. All I can think about is seeing her. Feeling her, touching her, kissing her. My nerves are on fire as I think about finally seeing her and being able to hold her in my arms again. The scenery is beautiful. It's huge. I stand at the altar, waiting for her and all of a sudden, music starts to play and the side doors open, the grooms coming from the left and the bridesmaids coming from the right, meeting in the middle to lock arms and walk down the aisle and go their separate ways. Five minutes pass by and Camara's little sisters come down the aisle, dropping flowers as they walk down the aisle. Then those big white doors open to reveal my wife in a huge white dress. She looks gorgeous. She walks down the aisle with a veil over her face, her brother on her arm as she walks with a bouquet of red flowers. I smile as I look at her walking up to me, her brother kissing her cheek before he lets her go, letting her come to me. She gives h
Dionne's POV: I wake up to Amber calling my name. Everyone else stands back as she sits on the bed, wrapping me in a hug as I wake up. "Hey hun." she says, smiling as she pulls away. She hands me an iced coffee and it doesn't taste like a regular iced coffee. "What's in this?" I say, looking at the cup. "Tequila." Riley says, sitting on the bed with me and Amber. I nearly choke, laughing. "Tequila?" I say, laughing. "We want you to wake up feeling like the best bride in the world. So we gave you coffee-tequila." Amber says. "Where's Mara?" I say, looking around. "She's coming. She just called and said Xavier was awake. Just got up, she said." Amber says. I smile and I pick up my phone, dialing Xavier's number. As I talk to him, my heart flutters in my chest, knowing that this is the man I'm marrying. "Anyway, I'll see you soon. I love you so much." he says. I can hear him smiling as he talks. "I love you more, Mr. Foster." I say, hanging up. When I hang up we look at each ot
2 days later Xavier's POV After a night of earth shattering sex and mind-blowing orgasms, I had to leave Dionne. She says it's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding. So here I am. Up at 9 A.M, in the biggest master bedroom Zeno's mansion had to offer, processing what's happening today as I lie in bed. I get up and I put on my slippers, brush my teeth, wash my face, then I go downstairs with sweatpants and a navy blue short-sleeve shirt on. I go downstairs to the island in the kitchen and Z's making coffee for the both of us and Camara. "Thanks for letting me crash here last night." I say, as he slides my coffee across the table to me. "Don't thank me. It's the least I could do for the groom-to-be." he says, winking at me as he stirs his coffee and leans onto the island. Camara comes down with Bentley and she gasps in shock for the sake of the baby. "Who's that?" Camara says, looking down at Bentley. "That's uncle Xavier! Say hi, baby!" she says as I smile at Bentley. She
Xavier's POV: As I sit in my office smoking a cigarette, stressed from the phone call I've just received, Dionne walks in, with a smile, immediately brightening my mood a little. "Oh no. What's stressing you?" she says, her smile fading into frustration as she walks in and sits on my desk, crossing her arms. "Nothing." I say, not wanting to burden her. "Xavier, you only smoke when something's stressing you. It's never random." she says, arching her eyebrow, knowing I'm lying. I grab her hips and I pull her onto my lap, letting her straddle me and look into my eyes. I put out my cigarette and I sit back in my chair, looking up into her eyes. "What's wrong? Talk to me." I say, changing the subject. Ignoring the fact that I changed the subject, she shrugs and answers. "Mom wants to keep the kids for tonight, tomorrow and the next day so we can have some time alone before and after our wedding day." she says. "And you're asking me if that's okay?" I say, my eyebrow shooting up. "Ye
The next day, I wake up and the thrill of my wedding day coming so soon fills me to the brim, making me smile. I turn over to see the love of my life sleeping peacefully, something I'm not used to seeing. I place soft kisses on his lips throwing my leg over his stomach as I sit up to hover over him as I kiss him. I feel his body move beneath mine as he grunts, then I feel his hands travel to my ass to squeeze it, making me hum to myself. "Good morning." he says, his voice deep, yet soft. "Good morning." I say, smiling. "So, I have to go out again today." I say, moving his hair from his eyes as I look into them. "Okay. Do what you need to do. Just-" "Be safe. I will. I love you." I say, cutting him off and kissing him. I get up and I take a shower, then I brush my teeth, then do my skincare routine and after I'm finished, I put on some black leggings, sweatpants, a long sleeve shirt, and a puffer coat with mittens and a warm, fluffy hat and ear muffs. "You look very warm." Xavier
4 months later ---- "Oh my god, babe, guess what!" I say, squealing and shaking with excitement. "What is it, love? Did your dress come in?" Xavier guesses. "No, that's tomorrow. Guess again." I say, climbing onto his lap in anticipation. "I dunno. Tell me." he says locking his fingers together behind my back, holding me in place as he grins at me. "They're finally finished with the venue and setting up the wedding! Can you believe it?" I say, kissing him in excitement. "No way." he says between kisses. "Yes way. This is actually happening!" I say, rolling over and curling into a ball of happiness. "I know. I actually can't believe it. We're getting married." he says, placing soft kisses on my lips. "Yep. Three more days." I say, smiling hard, pulling his lips to mine as he climbs on top of me and in between my legs, laughing. Suddenly there's a knock on the door, pulling us apart. "I'm going to the grocery store for the kids, you guys don't mind them coming, do you?" Kinsle
Dionne's POV: Xavier slowly goes to the door and he takes a deep breath before opening it and pointing it at whoever's at the door. "Xavier! Hi!" A woman with silver hair and green eyes, red cheeks, and braces comes in and throws herself onto Xavier, hugging him. Now jealous and angry, I back away from Xavier and I clear my throat loud enough for everyone to hear. As the girl giggles, Xavier putting her down, she looks over to me and gasps. "Oh .. my gosh! You're his fiance!" "Yeah, and who are you?" I ask. "Dionne, meet my cousin's girlfriend, Star. Star, meet Dionne. You already know what she is to me, obviously. She's really friendly, but she's a beast on the inside. Only when she has to be of course." Xavier says, introducing us. I flush red at my mistake. "I'm sorry for pouncing on him like that. It's just been years since I've seen him. Rome come in, it's cold outside!" she says, waving some guy over. He has a white streak in his jet black hair, and he has tattoos all over
