Zoey's POV
I set down the now empty bowl on the nightstand. I make a mental note to return it to the kitchen before I go off to bed.
Seconds later, a crash comes from downstairs alerting every cell in my body. Maybe it's a house pet or something. I ignore it and focus back on the laptop's screen. Another loud crash rings throughout the house, followed by hush voices.
What the actual fuck?
I pause the movie then remove the Airpods, setting them both on the other side of the bed. Heaving a short sigh I silently roll out of bed and looked for possible defense weapons.
This is stupid maybe I should just call the police. If you've enjoyed this chapter please leave a comment and vote! It would really help to promote this story! All and every effort is appreciated. Muchas gracias!
Xavier's POV I roll out of bed and jump in my pants, ditching the boxers in the messy heap of clothing. "Where are you going?"Ashley drawls, pure lust dance behind her eyes as they trail my sticky body. One of the things I like about her is that she can keep up with me. "To get breakfast." Sinking my palms on the mattress I lean down and peck her on the lips. The woman releases a moan as she pulls my head down deepening the chaste kiss. "I'll be back." "Hurry." She gives me a shove, realising my lips. I shoot her a smile as I pick up the shirt off the floor and pull it over my head. "Leave the shirt." "As you wish." I smirk, re
Zoey's POV I give myself a once over in the floor length mirror. My damp hair now hangs down to my tank top, wetting bits and pieces of the fabric. Damnit. I wordlessly pull on a pair of worn, faded jeans then the converse I bought on my thrift store run. I am seriously contemplating if I should go back downstairs. I wonder if Natasha will be down there. I really don't want to have another run in with her. I almost screwed things up, I'm just relieved that Xavier dominated the whole situation. My stomach grumbles, reminding me that I'd barely had anything to eat since last night. I push my hair over my shoulders as I exit the room
Zoey's POV Damnit. I groan as I read the time off my phone. Still a bit early. Suppressing a yawn, I roll out of bed and sit upright with a sigh. I can't believe Xavier gave me no specific time to get dressed. He's so... Aaaarrrggggh! Shopping. I never thought I'd have to say that. Jumping from the position, I make my way over to the bathroom. Once inside, I squirt some toothpaste and begin brushing when my phone from the other room blares. I quickly spit the paste and rush out, grabbing the phone off the nightstand.
Xavier's POV My gaze falls out to the dark street. I am currently on my way to a private airport strip, where the rest of the staff is already waiting. I decided to carpool with my personal assistant and have Dave drive us there. I am supposed to board the company's jet in fifteen fucking minutes! "I need a background check on Elji Saito, he's the youngest son of the billionaire Saito. His father is trying to convince me to collaborate with his company, which I'm not too fond about. Mr. Saito will be retiring soon, which means that his youngest son is expected to carry on his legacy. That asshole hardly knows how to tie his own lace much less run a damn empire! I'm not going to invest in something that will most likely fail in a few months. Dig up everything you can find. I'm not gonna was
Zoey's POV I stare blankly at the wall reminiscing on the last couple of days. Who knew the time would go so fast? 'Cause I didn't. I haven't seen Xavier in a few days; he's rarely home, which is good because I know he won't be having 'friends' over for a while. He'd gone to Japan about two days ago. I have to admit that the place is a little quiet without him. Admittedly I do miss his curt comments. Kat is doing well in Paris. We occasionally communicate via text messages or a simple phone call. She is still very much in the dark about me living with Xavier. I am not ready to shine a light on that yet. It will bring up too many questions I, honestly, don't have the answer for.
Zoey's POV I can't believe Xavier is the seductive stranger who has haunted my dreams for years! I can't believe I was so close to sleeping with him. I'm curious to know if he figured it out as well. But I have my doubts. He would have said something by now if he had. But what if he doesn't— I let out a silent scream in one of the bed's large pillows, halting my train of thought. I slowly sit upright and stare around the dull room. One more second here and I'll go insane! I should go over to CJ's for some fresh air and a change of scenery. It'll be nice to see Mr. Singh and the rest of the staff again. I did promise them I w
Xavier's POV I look down at my wristwatch again. 4:25 pm. I'm pretty sure Cassandra made arrangements for Dave to pick me up at the airport so where the fuck is he… he's seven minutes late for fucks sake! I tap my foot impatiently as my eyes fall out to passing cars. The heavy duffel bag weighs down my arms but I ignore it. "Mr. Danvers," a voice calls from a distance. Looking off to the side I see Dave beckoning me over. Finally. "What took you so long?" I snap, walking over to the slouching man. "My sincere apologies sir, I was stuck in traffi
Zoey's POV I gasp as his hands snake around my waist and hauls me up to him.My heart races erratically as I momentarily close my eyes when his lips crash roughly on mine. It is stupid of me to ask him to kiss me, but I just wanted to get some sort of confirmation that he was the one there that night. His tongue slips inside my mouth fighting for dominance. He tastes like pure mint. Quite an addicting taste, I must admit. He soon takes control over my mouth, his tongue sliding awkwardly over my teeth until our tongues and mouths move in perfect unison. My mouth feels as if it's on fire. Scratch that. My whole body feels as if it's on fire. My breathing slowly becomes labored as his mouth completely possesses mine. His hand trails down and
