~Look into my eyes when you come.~Arcane POV:Xavier is such a meanie. He does everything his way. He awakens the vixen inside me and uses it to get the worst of me. Maybe I shouldn't have told him the truth. I should have never let him know that I like him. Man, he is taking advantage of my feelings and using them against me. I sipped on the milkshake and I stared into space. "What are you thinking so hard about?" Abby narrowed her eyes and asked me. I sighed. I want to tell her everything but this isn't easy. I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. "Nothing." I forced a smile and tried to take interest in what she was saying. "Okay, listen to me." Abby clasped her hands together while her big and round eyes twinkled, "Next week, there is a homecoming party and we are going to it." She told me. "I am not sure, Abby-" "Stop right there." She instantly said and the rest of the things which I was about to tell her.... they died down in my throat. "You better don't give me a
~With me, you will come more than once.~Arcane POV:Abby took me from one shop to another for a whole two hours but she could not find anything according to her taste. Now, I am getting frustrated and exhausted. "Abby, if you will not find anything in the next ten minutes... I swear, I will ditch you right here." I threatened her. She glared at me and pushed the door of another shop. Her silence was louder than her words. She wasn't going to let go of me until she would get us dresses. I sighed and followed her inside. "I am trying to make you a lady of the eve by getting you the most beautiful dress." She finally revealed her intentions. I glanced at her with nothing but pure shock. Quietly, I stood in front of her. Her hands that were roaming through the racks of the dresses, stopped. "What?" She read my mind and asked. "You know what, you are going insane these days." I commented and rolled my eyes at her, "I don't have a date and you want me to become the most beautiful and pa
~They stare at me, while I crave you.~Arcane POV:I was getting late from school. Last night, I couldn't sleep well so it wasn't easy to get up early either. I brushed my teeth, washed my face and changed my clothes before hurrying downstairs. However, upon seeing the smiling and kind face of Vincent, I felt like my whole world had crumbled. Bitterness spread in my mouth and I rolled my eyes at him. "Hey, Arc." Vincent called me. For the first time, he was calling me with what Mom calls me and to be honest, I did not like it coming from his mouth at all. I turned towards them and glanced at Mom. Eye bags around her eyes were sagging but there was a smile at the corner of her lips. While my eyes drifted from her face to her hand that was resting on the table. A huge bruise on it could be seen from far. 'My gut feeling wasn't wrong. Vincent is really up to something with Mom. He makes sure her face doesn't have any suspicious signs but looks at her hand...." My heart clenched and the
~Let my tongue explain how bad I crave you.~Xavier POV:I have been noticing that Arcane has been avoiding me like a plague. Something is surely going through her head but what is it that is making her keep her distance from me? The days when Dad told me about Melissa, I did not know what to do. However, when I started to gain control over my thoughts, something clicked in my mind. 'Melissa is a stage 4 cancer patient. Her life is reduced to a few months or a year at most and after her death, the marriage between Dad and her will be annulled. Then, we will have no relationship with Arcane and I can be together with her.' "What the fu*k, Xavier?" My thoughts scared me. "Are you going to wait for her mother to die so you could fu*k her?" I put my hand on my mouth. Because I never thought that I am capable of having such dangerous thoughts about someone. "She is her mother, for God's sake." I sighed and rubbed my face as I tried to snap out of this. I am evil and I hate myself for it
~I want to taste your lips.~ Arcane POV: Today is homecoming. I took a shower and took the dress which I bought from my closet. I held it in my hands and looked at it. When I got that dress, I loved it but not anymore. It was Vincent's money with which I bought it and right now, I am hating that man. 'Shall I wear it or not?' I tried to come up with a decision. But it proved to be really hard. "Abby will kill me if I won't wear it and everything at this place is his. I cannot cut him off." I tried to think deeply of this problem. My whole closet is filled with the things which he got for me. I live under his roof and eat the food which he puts on my plate. There isn't any way that I can push him to the side. "Let's just wear it and get over with the night." I sighed and took the dress to the bathroom with me. I changed into a dress and tied my hair in a rough bun. It wasn't my intention to put an effort into prepping for the night but I did it anyway. I dabbed some makeup on
~Let me run my tongue, down your back.~Xavier POV:Arcane looked gorgeous to the point of irresistibility. But she isn't my date. I don't get to appreciate her beauty and that's such a shame. Marcus is really one lucky bastard who got to bag her. While everyone thinks that I am the lucky one. Just because I get good grades, I am the captain of the football team and I have money but I don't have her. These days, my life is completely meaningless without her. However, seeing her being rude with Dad aggravated me. Who gives her the right to talk to my father in that tone? He cares about her and he is worried. But she rejects his concerns and stomps on them without any care. Although I planned on being generous because she looked so pretty tonight, I couldn't do it after seeing her interaction with Dad and asked the driver to take me to Ashley's place.'She can get there with Marcus.' I assured myself. 'But what if he tries to take advantage of her?' I was drowned into another thought.
~It's all yours, I won't stop you from coming.~Arcane POV:I spent the night at Abby's. Even though I couldn't sleep, it was a lot better than staying at Jone's residence. The soft touch and taste of his lips is still alive on mine. I have been dying to feel his touch on my body however, the circumstances are different. The second, I will get my hands on solid evidence, I am going to report them to the police for domestic abuse and take off the mask which they are wearing in front of the public. They deserve this."Are you up?" Abby stretched and asked me from beside in a half sleepy voice."Yeah." I nodded and glanced at her. She turned towards me and put her hands under her face. "What's going on, Arc? I thought you liked him then why are you making a big deal out of it? You should be jumping around in happiness." She inquired and I had no answer to give her. I looked away. "Arcane." She held my shoulder and made me look at her. I pursed my lips tightly because I did not have an
~You. Me. Tonight.~ Xavier POV: I couldn't resist myself when I saw her in that dress. Blue is my favourite color and she looked exquisite wearing it. Furthermore, my heart screamed when I saw her in the arms of another man. My pride was trampled so, without caring about my surroundings, I kissed her hard. I thought she would like it. She told me that she had feelings for me. I know she still does. But her reaction was totally opposite to what I expected. The tears which I saw in her eyes hurt me. Why am I in pain whenever she is? I wanted to go and chase after her but Ashley came to me and glared at me with fury. "Fu*k." I muttered under my breath and ran my fingers in the hair out of frustration. "Why did you do that?" She held the collar of my coat and demanded an answer. "I am not obligated to give you answers." I held her hand and jerked it away. I did not want another drama. When I kissed Arcane, I saw that some of the students made out videos and some were still doing
~I want you fu*king so bad.~Arcane POV:A year had passed since my graduation, and I found myself seated in the sleek boardroom of Jones Corporation. The transition from student life to the corporate world had been seamless, thanks to the opportunity extended to me by Vincent, a man whose generosity knew no bounds.From the moment I set foot in the company, I was determined to not only meet the expectations placed on me but to surpass them. The debt of gratitude I owed to Vincent was one I could never fully repay, but I was determined to try. My dedication to my work became my way of expressing the profound appreciation that lived in my heart.In the boardroom, I exuded a professional demeanor that had become synonymous with my presence in the company. Precision and attention to detail were the cornerstones of my approach to any task, no matter how big or small. Every report, every presentation was a testament to the meticulousness that defined my work ethic."Good morning, Ms. Mille
~Shhh... be a good girl and keep quiet.~ Arcane POV: Maya's eyes sparkled with mischief as she observed me, her curiosity uncontainable. "So, what's going on between you two?" I took a deep breath, knowing that I couldn't keep this a secret any longer. Maya was my closest friend, and she deserved to know the truth. "We... dated," I began, my voice steady but tinged with a vulnerability I couldn't hide. Her eyes widened in surprise, a gasp escaping her lips. "You and Xavier? Seriously?" I nodded, a small smile playing on my lips. "Yeah. It was back in high school." Maya's excitement was palpable, her teasing grin spreading from ear to ear. "Oh my god! Why didn't you ever tell me?" "It just... didn't come up," I replied, a hint of defensiveness creeping into my tone. It wasn't that I had purposely kept it from her; it was simply a part of my past that I hadn't revisited in years. She leaned in closer, her curiosity practically radiating off her. "Okay, spill the details. How did
~My mouth wants to do naughty things to you.~Arcane's POV:The glow of my phone illuminated the dim room, casting an eerie shadow against the walls. The headlines screamed from the screen, a harsh juxtaposition to the silence that now enveloped me."Xavier Jones: From Ice to Fists." The words seemed to taunt me, each letter a reminder of the chaos that had unfolded. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic rhythm matching the whirlwind of thoughts in my head.When I saw the image of Xavier, his face contorted in anger, it was like a punch to the gut. This wasn't the man I knew. The Xavier I remembered was composed, controlled, a master of his emotions. This was a stranger, a fractured reflection of the person I held in my heart.And then, I saw the face of the other person involved – Ethan. The name alone sent shivers down my spine. It was a name I hadn't spoken or thought of in years, a name buried beneath layers of time and distance.My grip tightened on the phone, knuckles tur
~When its good, you are shaking.~Xavier POV:The familiar scent of home enveloped me as I stepped through the front door. It was a comforting blend of my dad's cooking, the wood of the furniture, and the subtle perfume that always lingered in the air. It was good to be back."Dad, I'm home!" I called out, my voice echoing through the house.Moments later, his head popped out from the kitchen, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Xavier! It's about time you showed up. I was starting to think you'd forgotten where you live!"I laughed, crossing the room to give him a bear hug. "Trust me, Dad, I could never forget this place. It's good to be back, though."He clapped me on the back, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Well, you better get used to it. Look how much weight you have lost. You better prepare yourself to bulk up.""I am focusing on my muscles, Dad. I cannot bulk up. It will be hard for me to play on the ice." I said to him playfully, "Or you want you son to fall on his ass
~I want to be fu*ked and loved by you, for the rest of my life.~3 years later;Xavier POV:The ice rink glistened under the bright arena lights, a frozen stage set for our performance. The crisp air bit at my cheeks as I glided onto the ice, the familiar scrape of my skates echoing in the empty rink. This was where I belonged, where every stride, every pass, held the promise of victory.As the team captain, the weight of responsibility sat comfortably on my shoulders. It wasn't just about winning; it was about leading my teammates, motivating them to push beyond their limits. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a blend of excitement and nerves."Let's own this, Xav!" Mark, my fellow forward, slapped me on the back, his eyes gleaming with determination.I shot him a quick grin, our unspoken understanding a testament to the years we'd spent perfecting our synergy on the ice. With a swift flick, I sent the puck hurtling towards the goal, the goalie's glove barely able to deflect i
~Give me a hickey where only we can find them.~Arcane POV:Stepping onto the bustling campus of the University felt like entering a different world. The air buzzed with excitement and anticipation, and I couldn't help but be swept up in the energy. This was it – a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting to be painted with new experiences, friendships, and knowledge.As the days unfolded, I threw myself into the whirlwind of university life. The first week was a kaleidoscope of orientations, campus tours, and the flurry of faces that would soon become familiar. Eveeryone was nice here and I wanted to befriend them all.One afternoon, while trying to find my way through the labyrinth of buildings, I met Luca. His laughter echoed down the hall, drawing my attention."Hey there!" they exclaimed, extending a hand. "I'm Luca. Lost too?"I chuckled, shaking their hand. "Definitely. This place is like a maze."We struck up a conversation about the art installation on the quad, and within minutes
~Pretty please.~Arcane POV: The room felt different, like a chapter closing. Tomorrow, I'd be on a plane, leaving this place behind. I couldn't predict when I'd return, and it certainly wouldn't be anytime soon. My gaze swept across the room, each corner holding a memory. Here was where Xavier and I shared that kiss, a sweet moment in time. There, he lounged on my bed, playfully teasing me. And it was this very room where he saved me from my darkest moments, bringing me back from the edge. Tears threatened, but I blinked them away, resolute. I zipped up my suitcase, sealing in the fragments of the past. The room stood still, a silent witness to a part of my life that was coming to an end. I took one last look, trying to etch every detail into my memory. Then, with a final sigh, I turned away, ready to face the unknown that awaited me. The room felt heavy, like a bundle of memories tugging at my heart. Leaving meant closing a chapter that had given me so much - a fatherly figure i
~Baby, your pleasure is my priority.~ Xavier POV: I was getting a call from my Dad. I smiled as I saw his name on the screen and I went to the dressing room to answer his call. As I heard my dad's voice on the other end of the line, a wave of warmth washed over me. It had been too long since we last spoke, and hearing his familiar tone brought a sense of comfort. "Hello, Dad," I greeted, unable to contain the smile that tugged at my lips. "I'm doing well. Training's intense, but I'm giving it my all." I could sense the pride in his voice. "That's my boy. I knew you'd give it your best. I've been keeping up with your progress online. You're making quite the impression." His words were a balm to my determination. Knowing that he was watching from afar, cheering me on, gave me an extra boost of motivation. "Thanks, Dad." I couldn't help but seize the opportunity. "You know, there's a game coming up. Why don't you come to it? I would love to see you." The only game that I played i
~Euphoria take over me when your tongue dance on my body.~ Arcane POV: Another year slipped away in the blink of an eye, and here I stood, on the precipice of high school graduation. It was a milestone that I had never imagined reaching without Mom by my side, her absence a constant ache that refused to fade. And then there was Xavier, a presence that still lingered in the recesses of my thoughts, despite the silence that had settled between us. As I watched my classmates buzz with anticipation, their excitement mingling with nervous energy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment. It was as though I was moving through the motions, the weight of the past still clinging to me. The ceremony itself was a blur of gowns and caps, a sea of faces that seemed to meld together. The applause, the speeches—they all felt like distant echoes, reverberating in a space that I no longer fully occupied. I walked across the stage, the diploma a tangible symbol of an achievement that felt bit
