Chapter Five

Xander POV

When Xander felt her lips on his, He lost all sense of reasoning. She was like a drug, he couldn’t stop having her. He just wanted her so much, it hurts. He wanted in his arms,

“Xander stop” she mumbled in his mouth but he wouldn’t, he couldn’t he had to have her now before he went crazy.

“I can't,” he replied and cupped her butt in his hands. Lizzy pushed him away and scowled.

“Don’t ever try that” she said and Xander stared at her, he wasn’t fazed. The fact that she allowed him to go as far as kissing her meant that she still wanted him as much as he wanted her.

“Why didn’t you tell anyone about Mia” he asked and Lizzy shrugged. Xander could see that she looked uncomfortable like Mia was a topic she didn’t want to discuss, of course, it only made him want to know more.

“How old is she?” He asked and Lizzy shot him a deadly glare. One that would have brought lesser men to their knees in forgiveness but Xander was every bit as stubborn as she was, even more.

“It’s none of your business” she retorted and Xander shrugged. He walked to a fridge, opened it took a bottle of wine, and poured it into a glass. He sipped the wine slowly.

He smiled when he noticed Lizzy watching him like a hawk about to kill its prey.

“Care for a drink,” he said cheekily and her eyes darkened.

“It’s my drink jerk,” she said and Xander bit back a laugh. He didn’t think she'd appreciate him laughing.

He took another swig of his drink and sighed.

“Since you are all business-minded. My tech company needs someone to dig into a shabby company pretending to be us. Since you are a journalist, I want your help. I heard you are pretty good.” He said. Lizzy shook her head.

“Is that all? You can leave” she said. Xander ignored her, he plopped down on the couch and stretched. An idea came to his head.

“I am staying the night,” Xander said and Lizzy scowled.

“No. Didn’t you bring your car? Drive……”

“No I didn’t,” he said and Lizzy nearly growled. Xander pretty much knew how to manipulate and work things to his favor and he never was happier that he didn’t take his car with him.

“You’ll sleep right here on that couch,” she said and Xander smiled. God! He missed her so much, her fiery tongue. The way she smiled, how those gray eyes looked at him.

“Look Lizzy, I am sorry for everything I put you through. I thought I was doing something right” Xander said and Lizzy barked out a laugh.

“Just shut up, before I decide to throw you out. I don’t care about your explanations. You can rot in hell for all I care” she said and stormed away.

Xander sighed and stared at the ceiling ahead, he had messed up big time and he wished he could take that back. Something felt off though. A little nagging at the back of his mind, mostly about Mia, something he couldn’t quite place his finger on, something Lizzy was hiding from him.

He had to know, he stood and headed for Mia’s room. He pushed open the door and realized that he had a mistake, this was Lizzy’s room and she was……..nude, about to change into a nightgown. She turned and stared at him.

“What are you doing here?” she said. She made no move to hide her body. Probably because he had seen it many times before.

“I was looking for Mia’s room,” Xander said and Lizzy raised a brow.

“Why?” She didn’t look angry now, only curious as if she was testing him.

“I don’t know. I won’t lie, I like your daughter already and she’s so well-mannered and sweet.” He said and Lizzy shrugged.

“She’s a good girl” She reached for her gown but Xander grabbed her hand.

“I have missed you, Liz, I want you, only you,” he said and Lizzy scowled.

“Not happening,” she said dryly. Xander growled.

“Please” he pleaded through clenched teeth. “You that I still want you, more than anyone. Let me show you” he kissed her roughly. Lizzy moaned into his mouth instantly. She thought she’d be able to resist Xander but she was wrong.

Xander's hands wandered until they palmed her assets in his hands, and she arched into him. Still time she led the kiss. Kissing him passionately, her fingers threading in his hair. She frantically reached for the buttons on his chest and undid them until he was standing before her shirtless.

“Tell me you want me,” he said and Lizzy nodded, she was going to go crazy if he didn’t finish this.

“Say it” he ordered, cupping her face in his hands.

“I want you. Xander” she said, with that Xander lifted her into his arms and dropped on the bed. He took off his pants and she let her robes fall away.

“I love you” he heard her whisper in his ear as he slipped inside her, earning a gasp from her. He moved torturously slow, wanting the moment to last. He kept moving that way until he started to feel his peak coming and he picked up the pace, groaning as pleasure wracked their body.

Lizzy shuddered as she reached her peak and climaxed. Xander groaned loudly as he released right in her, She did object but just wrapped her hands around him tight, 

Something crossed his mind as he lay there on her, her arms wrapped around him. He had green eyes, so did Mia.

She had his nose, and the same kind of mouth, she looked like him. No wonder Lizzy was uncomfortable, not because she resented him.

But because she didn’t want him to know, she didn’t want him to know that…………

Mia was his daughter.
