Rei’s Point of View
I 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 always knew what I was thinking. I sighed and looked down at my bare feet on the dirt road we were standing on. Strong arms pulled me close, and X wrapped his arms around me as I leaned back into his tender embrace. X kissed my head as my worries faded, and I felt safe in his arms again.
“Your life is going to change again, Rei. I need you to be brave and to trust Xavier. He will protect you and keep you safe,” X murmured as he kissed my neck.
I moaned in response, and I felt as though I should feel guilty for how I felt with X. But this was a dream, so it was okay. It had to be. It wasn’t real. I knew I was sleeping in Xavier’s arms right now.
“You missed me too. I can tell, even if you’ve been thoroughly fucked. A part of you will always crave me, and I love it,” X groaned as I felt him harden beneath me.
His fingers trailed down my body, lifting the T-shirt to caress my clit. It was the gentlest touch but it felt amazing. X’s fingers delved deeper, sliding inside me, and his other hand caressed my breasts through the fabric of my shirt. I moaned as X expertly brought me to the edge and over in moments. He brought his fingers to his lips, savouring my taste.
“We’re not done yet,” X whispered in my ear.
His strong arms lifted me effortlessly onto the seat of his motorcycle, and my legs instinctively wrapped around his muscular body. I watched in eager anticipation as X unleashed his hard, eager cock from his pants. Without hesitation, he plunged into me, gripping my hips tightly to maintain control. I tightened my grip on him, desperate to feel every inch of X deep inside of me.
It was an indescribable feeling like I was making love to a different being. This was X, the man who had captured my heart in my dreams for over ten years. I knew it wasn't Xavier, the man in bed with me at that moment. It all felt so real, and my intense emotions for X matched those I felt for Xavier. I couldn't understand how this was possible, but at that moment, I knew without a doubt that I was in love with both X from my dreams and Xavier, the man holding me in real life.
“Cum with me, Rei. I want to watch your beautiful face as you come undone with my cock buried deep within you,” X's voice was low and full of desire.
I moaned his name as I climaxed uncontrollably. X captured my lips with his own, devouring me with unbridled desire as my body shook from experiencing another powerful squirting orgasm.
X’s possession of me was evident as he did this, reminding me that I was still his and meant to be with him. I didn’t understand this. It was a confusing blur between fantasy and reality. I was in love with both versions of this man - the one from my dreams and the one in reality.
X didn't seem to mind that his pants were completely drenched at the moment. In fact, he appeared to be quite pleased with himself. I let out a deep sigh and leaned in closer to him as he held me tightly in his embrace, still inside of me.
“You will always be mine, too; don’t forget that, Rei,” X said as he gently played with my hair.
“I will always be here for you, but you must trust Xavier in the real world. Don't push him away. Listen to what he has to say. It's not going to be easy for him, and he's afraid. Promise me that you'll listen to him, even if it hurts and you don't understand right away why he did what he did. Eventually, you'll understand,” X spoke softly as he rubbed small circles on my back.
“I love you, X,” I mumbled as my eyes closed. I was so tired all of a sudden.
“I know you do, my sweet girl. I love you too,” X murmured as I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to the sight of Xavier's loving and adoring gaze upon me. I buried my face in his chest, momentarily feeling guilty before realizing it was all just a dream. It felt so vivid, but I knew it wasn't real.
“I texted Grace, and she’s fine with you coming home later or even staying another night if you want to,” Xavier said quietly.
“The kids are fine, I asked,” he quickly added.
I couldn’t help but chuckle that he knew what I was going to ask next.
“I’ll make us coffee and breakfast if you want to rest a bit more,” Xavier offered, and I nodded.
My body was drained as if I had just experienced a mind-blowing climax. As I lay in bed, I reached out to touch the sheets, expecting them to be soaked with sweat. Surprisingly, they were dry. However, the bottom of my T-shirt was damp, just like it was in my dream. But it was just a dream...right?
Updates will be posted every Friday - Monday, usually by 11:30 p.m. EST. I will also post additional chapters when I can. Thank you for reading!
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
Aamon’s Point of View“No wonder Mom wouldn’t let us play GTA,” whispered Onyx.“I’m pretty sure that is NOT the reason,” Shiloh admonished him with a glare.“Is this why Mom was always confused when the bills would mysteriously get paid?” Shiloh asked me, and I nodded.“My step-father, your grandfather, wanted Rei to have the freedom to live without worrying about who she was. There’s a legacy with being part of the Brzezinski family, expectations and dangers he didn’t want to touch her,” I tried to explain.“Why now? Why not when we were little, and Mom was struggling? Why not when the other kids at school made fun of us for not having a father? Is it because you are with Aunt Grace now? Is that why?” Shiloh fired questions at me as quickly as she could, with tears streaming down her cheeks and her lip quivering.My heart broke for my niece. These were valid questions—ones I had asked myself countless times, wondering when, if ever, we would be allowed to claim them as our family fi
Rei’s Point of ViewI was happy, happier than I could ever remember being. Being with Xavier brought a peace that I’d never known before. It was so relaxed and natural like we’d known each other all our lives. However, it was clear that we hadn't, as when we were talking while doing the dishes together, I learned things about him, and he was surprised to learn new things about me. Somehow, Xavier seemed to think he already knew everything there was to know about me, and that made me smile. He was so confident in me, in us. I didn’t deserve someone like him, but I was grateful for him. Not many men would want someone who would involve an instant family and a lot of baggage from a previous relationship I’d only started healing from.We were cuddling on the couch while Xavier tried to pick a movie for us to stream, and I was texting Grace. I was surprised when she texted "yes" but then called a few minutes later.“Do you mind if I take this?” I asked Xavier, sitting up concerned.I found
Xavier’s Point of ViewStrangely enough, as soon as I walked out of the room to give Rei some privacy, Matt called me.“Hey, I need to talk to you about something important. Sam called me in a panic a few minutes ago and made me promise to call you,” my friend said.“Sure, what’s going on?” I asked, concerned.“Sam and Chloe were convinced that Lillianna would show up at your place after what happened at the restaurant last night. No one put up with her crap for once, and Alex even walked her to the door to make sure Lillianna left. She was pissed! So the girls decided to do a “stake out” and watch to see if Lillianna showed up at your place,” Matt explained.My hand tightened around my phone, and I tried not to panic. I knew there were enforcers from the Brzezinski family watching over us. Plus, I changed locks and updated my security system. There wasn’t a way for Lillianna to get into my apartment without me knowing. I’d fixed the window she used to sneak in the day the locks were
Prologue: Secrets and LiesRei's Point of ViewThe rain continued to pour, illuminating the sky with lightning as thunder roared. My car started to sputter and eventually came to a halt, leaving me with no choice but to pull over to the side of the road. When I tried to restart the car, I only heard a single click, indicating that we were now stranded. With another loud thunderclap and lightning flashing across the sky, my children, all under five years old, began to cry out in fear. They were frightened by the loud noises, the darkness, and my struggle to hide my growing panic.Shiloh's small voice from the back seat asked, "It's okay, right Mama?""Sure, honey. I'll call for help and try to arrange a tow truck," I replied, sounding as reassuring as possible.A tear of frustration trickled down my cheek because handling this situation alone was not what I should be doing. Greg should be here to assist, but he's not, and I have only myself to hold accountable for that. Scrambling for
Rei’s Point of ViewI gazed into the mirror, puzzled by the unfamiliar reflection. Grace whistled, catching the attention of Alex, Chloe, and Sam nearby.Grace had styled my hair in a sleek ponytail, added dangling silver earrings, and painted my nails red."Wow, you look stunning," Alex exclaimed admiringly."Behave yourself," Sam scolded, playfully hitting him on the head."Hold on, let's add something," Chloe suggested, grabbing a bold red lipstick and swiftly enhanced my lips. She then applied eyeliner and lush lashes with remarkable speed."Do you think this is okay? How do I look?" I inquired, glancing at the satin red dress hugging my figure and the striking black heels Grace had chosen for me."Rei, if we weren't friends, and I wasn't taken, I'd be all over you," Alex jokingly remarked, earning another playful smack from Sam. Despite her annoyance, I couldn't help but laugh at their banter.We met during freshman week at Hillcrest University, where I enrolled despite not meeti
Xavier’s Point of ViewShe was beautiful in an unassuming way, utterly oblivious to how she captivated everyone around her. She was sweet, kind, caring, and stunning. We had met by chance years ago, but I knew she didn't remember me. Her car had broken down on the side of the road in the pouring rain late at night, and I had stopped to check if everything was alright. I had scared the crap out of her, pulling over to the side of the road on my motorcycle to check on her, and then she apologized profusely, thanking me for waiting with her until the tow truck she had called finally arrived to help.The poor girl had her heart and dreams shattered by the local rich kid who thought the pasture was greener on the other side. He’d moved on and up, away from our little town with his new wife and family. Money could buy you a new life, it seems, as well as numb any conscience you once had.I was a few years younger than Rei. I’d always had a crush on her, but once Greg Ravenscroft set his sig
