Xavier’s Point of View
As Rei slept in my embrace, I held her tightly. It felt surreal, like a dream. Yet, this was reality. The woman I had loved since I was 17 lay in my bed, not just in my heart. She was my everything, and I wanted to spend the rest of my days with her by my side.
I was terrified to tell her about my past. I prayed Rei would understand. I knew that once I revealed everything, I could very well lose everything—not my job because Ethan Steele had assured me that if things didn’t work out as I hoped, he would help me start over safely. I trusted that he would. I just hoped it wouldn’t come to that.
I knew that accepting Rei and her children would make me a part of the mafia family, diving into a world of darkness. I also understood that they would always be my top priority, and I would have to fulfill any requests made by Don Brzezinski. But I was willing to do whatever it took for Rei. I even hoped that one day we would have children together, but if not, I was more than happy to be a father figure to her kids. She was my forever, my end goal. I knew this as surely as I knew the need for air in my lungs.
I just had to be completely honest with her first.
Rei stirred almost as if she could sense my unease, and I watched as her eyes slowly fluttered open. She was stunning. Every time I gazed upon her, Rei took my breath away. Rei gazed up at me through her long lashes, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she realized she had fallen asleep on me. I was rather pleased with myself that I’d exhausted her with our earlier lovemaking.
“What time is it?” Rei asked, covering her mouth as she did.
I leaned over to pick up my phone and check.
“It’s early, just after 6 a.m. You can go back to sleep if you want,” I offered.
She shook her head and slowly sat up in my bed shyly.
“Are you okay?” I asked, worried that something was wrong.
“Yeah… I just haven’t shared a bed with anyone in a long time,” Rei mumbled.
“Is it okay if I use your bathroom to freshen up?” she asked nervously.
“Of course,” I smiled and watched as she started to leave the bed and froze.
“Rei, seriously, what’s wrong? Please talk to me,” I asked, trying to figure out what was going on in that beautiful head of hers.
“I’m naked,” she whispered in absolute terror.
“Yes, if I remember correctly, I helped you get that way,” I chuckled.
Then I realized what was wrong. In the moment of passion, Rei wasn’t worried about what she looked like, the stretch marks on her body, and making an impression on me. Last night, Rei had been brave and let me in without hesitation. In the morning light, she was having doubts.
I reached out, gently pulled Rei into my arms, and kissed her head. She seemed to calm down and stop spiralling with that one small gesture. I sighed. It was a good thing that Greg Ravenscroft would never be able to get into Rei’s head and make her doubt herself ever again. I would spend a lifetime building her back up if she let me.
“You were gorgeous last night and are even more so right now. No one else is here but the two of us. If you are nervous about walking around my apartment naked, you can wear one of my T-shirts. Would that help?” I asked.
Rei looked at me with tears in her eyes and quickly nodded her head. It was a whole other level of hot being able to see her in one of my shirts and nothing but, but I wasn’t about to tell Rei that right now.
I slid out of the bed and grabbed a nearby t-shirt. With gentle hands, I helped her slip her arms through the sleeves as I pulled it over her head. She stared at me with wide eyes, biting her lip while her gaze trailed up and down my bare body. I couldn't help but smirk at her reaction, causing her to cover her face with her hands. However, she left enough space between her fingers to peek at me.
“You are naughty,” I chuckled as her cheeks turned an even darker shade of red.
I observed as Rei hurried away, my hand unconsciously caressing the insistent bulge beneath the sheets. I wanted her again, but I wanted Rei to leave the T-shirt on. I had quite a few fantasies I wanted to fulfill with the woman of my dreams.
Rei’s Point of View
I had morning breath, and I knew my morning breath was epic. There was no way I was going to let Xavier kiss me with my swamp mouth. Then, as soon as I was about to get out of bed, I looked down at my body and froze. My body was not firm or toned, and I had stretch marks on my stomach from when I carried my three children. How could he even think for a moment that I was beautiful?
Despite my best efforts, I couldn't stop thinking about the kindness and comfort he had shown me. Xavier didn’t judge, brush aside my feelings or mock me. As he helped me into one of his t-shirts, I couldn't help but admire his toned physique and the intricate tattoos on his arms. His eyes were filled with desire, and his large member was already hard and glistening with excitement. He wanted me again. My mind couldn’t make sense of this, but my heart was soaring at how this man made me feel.
I silently said a prayer of thanks that I had the foresight to leave my bag in the bathroom last night. I dug out the toothbrush I’d brought and used the toothpaste I found on the counter to ensure my breath was fresh and my teeth were clean. I used the water and soap to wash myself in the key areas quickly, then put on some deodorant and perfume. I would still need to shower, but that would come later. I wanted to get back into bed with Xavier and finish what he had started before I left to use the washroom. He did call me a naughty girl, after all.
Today, I had the exciting opportunity to take over another indie romance author's social media and promote my book, "The Biker's Dark Secret," along with my other works. A dear friend also helped spread the word about this story on her pages. Thank you, Zahira, for your support! 🥰
Lillianna’s Point of View Mr. Fiore's frown deepened as he approached the host and me. "That's not the Woods' table," he said firmly. "Nonso, please take your break now." The host, Nonso, quickly nodded and hurried away, surprising me with his agility for someone his size. Mr. Fiore then turned to me with a kind smile on his face. “Lillianna, you look stunning this evening. Please forgive any mistakes made by my employee; I hope it didn't ruin your experience. It's always a pleasure to have you here," Mr. Fiore said with a smile. I couldn't help but return the smile. Xavier and I had been regulars at this restaurant for years, especially on special occasions. Our friends Matt and Tom usually joined us as well. We always requested to sit at one of the larger tables in the back because we tended to get loud and rowdy during our gatherings. “Your friends have already arrived. I’ll bring you over, my dear,” Mr. Fiore gestured for me to follow him. All eyes were on me as I walked thr
Xavier’s Point of ViewMy desire for Rei had been building since she left my bed earlier. But when she returned, her hair dishevelled and clad only in my T-shirt, it was even more irresistible than I imagined. As she asked what her punishment would be for her naughty behaviour, biting her lip seductively, I completely lost control. It was like a forbidden fantasy brought to life before my eyes.I beckoned her to crawl back onto the bed, positioning herself on all fours for me. I hungered to taste her and then f.uck her relentlessly from behind. Every thrust of my throbbing member in and out of her gorgeous p.ussy was a vision to behold. With each expertly angled movement, I could feel Rei's walls clenching around me, driving me closer to the brink. Sensing she was on the edge of ecstasy, I drew her into my embrace and fervently rubbed her swollen clit until she screamed my name and exploded in a torrent of pleasure, squirting everywhere.Rei gasped, her eyes widening in shock as she lo
Grace’s Point of ViewI just finished texting Xavier when I noticed Shiloh standing before me."Mom won't be back until later, will she?" Shiloh inquired."No, she's staying at Xavier's a while longer. Is that bothering you?" I asked.Shiloh's eyes were fixed on me as I sipped my coffee. It seemed like she was wrestling with inner turmoil, and I couldn't help but wonder what was on her mind."Shiloh, is it bothering you that your mom is spending more time with Xavier instead of coming home right away?" I pressed.“No, I’m kind of glad she isn’t. I need to talk to you about something,” Shiloh mumbled.I patted the seat beside me and urged Shiloh to tell me what was on her mind. I wasn’t prepared for what she asked me.“Is Aamon Brzezinski my father?” Shiloh asked.I nearly choked on my coffee and gaped at her in utter disbelief. I must have heard her wrong. How could Shiloh possibly know who Aaman was, let alone think he was her father?"Wait, hold on. Did you just say what I think you
Aamon’s Point of ViewI received a text from Grace asking me to come over in approximately two hours. She said the boys couldn't wait to meet me as well. I hoped their enthusiasm for meeting their "Aunt" Grace's boyfriend wouldn't fade too soon. I had witnessed them growing up from a distance, and I wouldn't pass up the chance to spend an afternoon with them.Grace mentioned that Xavier had given the kids a building set and Shiloh a gift card for the local bookstore. She told me I didn't have to get them anything, but it might be a good way to connect with them. So I asked her to send me a photo of the box so I wouldn't buy the same one. But when I got to the mall, I ended up getting an even more extensive set than Xavier's. Not because I was trying to compete but because I wanted to spend time building it with them (if they would let me). I never had siblings growing up, so this was a new experience. As for Shiloh's gift card, I added more value so she could have more options on what
Aamon’s Point of ViewA younger version of my step-sister opened the door, her expression controlled and confident. However, I could tell she was nervous by how her hand trembled as she held the doorknob. I greeted her with a smile and introduced myself. Shiloh returned my smile and motioned for me to come inside.As soon as I stepped through the door, Onyx and Salem barreled down the stairs, stopping before me. Grace followed closely behind, looking overwhelmed. She seemed on edge, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. After all, she was supposed to be the adult here. What were these kids up to?“Hello, Aunt Grace’s boyfriend,” giggled Salem while Grace turned a deep shade of red.Oh, so that was what was going on. I knew Grace had never had anyone significant in her life, one meaningful enough to introduce to these kids. I was especially glad she had suggested the build set now. I smiled and handed the boys the bag. Their eyes grew wide when they took the bag but were eve
Rei’s Point of ViewI found myself standing next to X, watching the sunrise once more. It felt so real, but I knew it was just a dream. I couldn't help but blush as he admired me in Xavier’s t-shirt, the only thing covering my body. X's eyes travelled up my body, and I could feel his intense gaze. With a smirk, he tucked his hands in his pockets and devoured me with his eyes."Looks like things are going well," X chuckled seductively.“Um, thank you?” I squeaked, trying to pull the T-shirt down a bit more. My ass was covered, but I still felt naked as I felt his gaze linger on my body.“Why so shy, Rei?” X asked with a confident smirk and his eyes dancing in a very naughty way.I felt a blush creeping across my face under his intense gaze. He grinned slyly and bit his lip, sending shivers down my spine. Fuck. He was a dream and yet X gave me all the feels as if he was real.“But I am real. To you, at least. In the end, that’s all that matters, right?” X asked.I forgot in my dreams X a
Xavier’s Point of ViewI watched Rei as she slept. Although her face had a peculiar expression, she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. I struggled to figure out how I could explain everything to her without jeopardizing our relationship. Where did I even begin?I had the day with her, though. Grace would stay with the kids and I could take my time working up the courage to tell Rei the truth. I dreaded having to tell Rei the truth, knowing it would cause her pain. My heart ached at the thought of hurting her in any way.When Rei did wake up she hid her beautiful face on my chest. Why did she always feel so self-conscious around me? I needed to find a way to reassure Rei how beautiful she was to me, and that I truly loved her. I wish I had more time to do that before telling Rei the truth. I was running out of time.I let Rei rest and went to the kitchen to make coffee and breakfast. I cooked scrambled eggs, toast, and a few crispy bacon strips. It was a welcome change to cook for some
Lillianna’s Point of ViewAfter parking my bike a safe distance from Xavier's apartment, I walked towards it while constantly scanning my surroundings. I was aware that I was being watched, but I wanted whoever was observing me to know that I wasn't oblivious to their presence. Also, I needed to ensure that only Aamon's employees were keeping an eye on me at the moment.I noticed two strategically positioned cars with a clear view of Xavier's apartment. I recognized the employees as very loyal to Aamon. They were just as skilled and deadly as me. He wasn't leaving anything to chance, which was worth noting.As I turned to go, I caught sight of two people watching me who I recognized. When my eyes locked with theirs, they got out of their vehicle and started to advance on me. They were bold and stupid—very, very stupid. They had no idea who they were messing with.“You have a lot of nerve coming here, Lillianna,” Sam shouted, her tone laced with anger and disbelief.My hands curled into
