Xavier's Surrogate REVENGE
When Halle awoke late one night from another vivid episode of panic, Xavier recognized a shift had finally occurred. He gathered her quaking frame close while she wept, exhausted and heart sore. “Shh I have you, just breathe,” he soothed until the tension slowly left her muscles. Halle clung to him like an anchor amidst stormy waters even once fully awake. “I’m scared, Xavier,” she admitted in a small voice once sufficiently calmed. “Scared she’ll find us again.” Xavier steeled himself before answering gently. “Then it’s time I put real end to this. For your peace of mind, and our son’s future.” Halle’s arms tightened around him briefly at the implication. But she simply nodded bravely when she pulled back. “Just promise me you’ll come back safely. I can’t lose you.” Her palm cupped his bearded cheek with profound tenderness. Turning his head, Xavier pressed a kiss into her open palm. “I will always come back to you Halle,” he avowed passionately. His piercing gaze bore into hers,

“Do I really need to be blindfolded for this?” Halle asked with a warm chuckle. Xavier just grinned mysteriously in response, guiding her by the shoulders through what sounded like a set of heavy doors given the echo. “Patience, Flower. I promise, it’s worth the surprise,” he assured her, amusement and excitement dancing in his tone. Halle smiled and cooperated as he led her slowly ahead a few more steps. Her heart swelled, trusting Xavier so completely even when she couldn’t see. After everything they had endured, Halle knew without doubt he would never lead her anywhere dangerous again. “Just a little further,” Xavier coached. “Watch your step.” His sturdy hands on her waist aided Halle in navigating what felt like a small staircase. A few more shuffling paces forward and they finally halted. Halle quivered in anticipation. “Can I look now?” “One moment…” She heard the smile in Xavier’s voice just before he moved behind her and untied the blindfold at last. “Now you can open your

Bang!The reverberating sound of a gunshot disrupted the peace of the gloaming night.Halle Maria Dean stopped in her tracks, frozen with apprehension at the actuality that the sound came from the alley she had just walked into. Her teeth dug into her bottom lip and her fingers clutched her sides. "I warned you," Came a deep voice from the dark alleyway, his tone dark and somehow managed to be almost as black as the night.His broad shoulders were the first thing that came to her view when she walked into the alley, the sight of him and the aura his sheer presence carried pulled her in like a moth to a flame, she pulled the lapels of her jacket closer to her chest as she took another curious step forward.It was a lightless night, the wind was frigid on her skin but yet she could feel the moisture slowly gathering in her palms and back. She shivered, was it from the cold or the fear of the sight before her?Halle gasped in horror, her hands shakily coming up to her face and her palms

His lips were only a breath away from the hairs on her neck, the nuzzle of his gun pressing deeper into her neck as each second passed without a reaction from her.He smelled of rain and something else her mind couldn't conjure at that moment, he was warm but she could feel the coldness from the surface of his jacket."Get inside!"She heard a click from the gun under her ear and her legs shook, it reminded her of the day she got her first period and how embarrassing it was for her.Her body tended to shut down when it was too stressed when the pressure became too much and now she was feeling it right around the corner.She would not let that happen!A large hand came in front of her, long fingers that looked perfectly trimmed but yet had dirt caked up around them, he pushed the door open completely and let go of Halle's waist.The next thing she knew, she was being forced into her apartment and thrown to the floor like a rag doll.Her knees landed on her thick rug with a dull thud an

Halle stood on shaky legs, her senses heightened due to the darkness. She knew where everything was but at the same time was still way too cautious to act on impulse.“Where do you think you’re going?” He held her hand and pulled her back, his voice sounded weaker but it didn’t lose that dark undertone or danger it made her feel.“You s…said to patch you up,” She stuttered, “and I don’t have night vision,”Fuck!. Her coping mechanism was rearing its ugly head! Making jokes when it wasn’t really needed. Halle couldn’t see the man’s expression but she could feel the tension radiating off him with just a hint of anger.Yeah, she was definitely going to lose her life tonight but she’d be damned if she lets him take her down without a fight.Surprisingly, he lets go of her hand and nods, “Turn the lights on but don’t try anything else…” He warned in a low voice.Halle swallowed with much difficulty, nodding vigorously like she was being paid to do it before willing her already weakened leg

Halle walked to the side of the bed yet again, her eyes on her phone and the man who sat next to it seemingly oblivious to its presence.Halle always kept her first aid kits in the bedside drawer, it was a habit that has hasn’t been able to break ever since she was a child. Her mother called her a ‘clumsy little bundle of trouble’ sometimes and made Halle learn early how to treat her small cuts and even the bigger ones…mostly because her skin had to stay perfect.The man’s eyes followed her every movement, from her pulling open the drawer and bringing out the white box that she had personally stocked up herself even though since she’s been here, she’s never had to use it.His eyes followed her as she made her way to the spot next to him and closer to her phone.It was now out of his sight as her body blocked his view. He didn’t seem suspicious of her action but instead looked down at the box curiously and then back into her eyes.His burning gaze caught her off her, her breath caught

Pain.It was the first thing that registered in her head as her eyes slowly cracked open. The side of her head throbbed like she had run into a brick wall and her eyes burned from the light of the sun coming through her curtains.Weird.She always closed the windows and curtains before she went to bed, had she forgotten about it the previous night? Her ears rang and her throat felt like she had eaten gobs of dry sand and then walked in a desert for an hour. She groaned as she drowsily brought her hands up to her face and rubbed her eyes.“Good morning…” Came a deep voice at her side, the voice sent shivers down her spine…velvety smooth, filled with dark emotions and it still somehow managed to sound sleep affected.Damn.Were her fantasies finally coming to life? “Good morning…” Halle replied and then groggily moved her hands from her face and opened her eyes.Pale pink lips first came into view then dark brown eyes that held in so many emotions but yet didn’t give even a

A kiss?!Such an outrageous comment!Halle grabbed the glass of orange juice in front of her and chugged like her life depended on it, maybe it did in a way.His smile broadened and his chuckle slowly morphed into a hearty laughter. The sound was like bells from her grandfather’s church in her ears. It was melodic and as much as she didn’t want him to stop, she couldn’t help the annoyance slowly turning into anger.No, she wasn’t angry at him but at herself for imagining a well-detailed occurrence of those full pink lips pressing over hers, their softness rubbing against her skin and that pink tongue that made an appearance every now and then, she pictured how it would feel when it slipped past her lips and tangled with her tongue.Fuck!Now she was quiet, looking at him like he was a steaming hot meal on a cold winter night.His laughter slowly died down when his eyes met hers, could he see the emotions in them?That would be embarrassing if he could see through her thoughts.

Xavier's Surrogate THE THREAT
Xavier paused in the open doorway, gazing at the scene before him – Halle curled protectively around their three week old son as he nursed, her expression tired but content, Damien was at the edge of the bed, curiously watching and asking questions, his wide eyes innocent and childlike, just like it ought to be. Xavier’s heart swelled at the simple domestic sight, still scarcely able to believe he had nearly lost them forever.Halle had begged for Damien to be close, so the second they left Halle’s birth country in Africa, he had Monty bring the young boy out from hiding and back with them, where he belonged. After Halle had been safely recovered and gave birth, Xavier wasted no time whisking her away to a secluded estate where they could focus solely on healing without fear of Martha’s lingering reach. And healing was no small feat after the trauma Halle had endured. Though her physical wounds were minimal, the psychological toll left lasting scars.She was plagued regularly by v
Xavier's Surrogate PEACE
Halle drifted slowly up towards consciousness, clinging to the last visages of a dream where she was enveloped in tender warmth and comforting strength. Even semi-conscious, she instinctively recognized the sensations cocooning her now were real, not imagined. But after endless days and nights of torment, believing rescue could only manifest as a fantasy, Halle desperately avoided opening her eyes fully. What if this beautiful illusion shattered the instant she woke up? The possibility made her heart seize with renewed panic.No - the arms cradling her were solid, the scent of juniper and fresh rain surrounding her unmistakably Xavier’s. This precious peace was real, it had to be. Halle focused on steadying her breaths, mentally grasping for fragments of memory through the haze still clouding her thoughts. Flashes filtered back now – the frantic escape attempt, searing contractions hitting, Xavier appearing through her delirium of pain like a saving vision…the sweet sound of her chi
Xavier's Surrogate COUNTRY
A FEW HOURS EARLIER… The scorching sun beat down as Xavier surveyed the sprawling, dusty streets from the backseat of the nondescript sedan. It had taken tremendous resources and calling in more favors than he could count to get boots on the ground in this remote country so quickly. But nothing could deter him from his mission – finding Martha and making her pay for taking Halle.Taking the woman he loved and then sending him papers to sign while at it. Xavier gritted his testy as he thought about the phone call he had gotten from his aunt, she’d sent papers to his mail…asking him to sign over everything to her, that was her endgame. If she couldn’t get it from Damien as she’d originally intended, she’d get it directly from the man himself. Xavier had agreed to her deal but…he wasn’t really going to sign those paper. Stone was his legacy and he’ll be damned if he let’s and overly ambitious bitch take over and ruin everything he’s built. His mind wandered inevitably to images of h
Xavier's Surrogate SOMEWHERE SAFE
Too spent to argue, Halle permitted him to gently help her ease down onto the padded nest now warming her chilled legs. Though hardly ideal accommodations, at least she was off the frigid concrete floor. Monty seemed satisfied with his efforts.“I must inform the Don that you have been found before he burns the brothel down,” he announced. Before Halle could wrap her mind around the significance of his deliberate phrasing, Monty had disappeared back down the cellar corridor with a final instruction tossed over his shoulder – “Try to focus your energies, I will be back as fast as I can.”Xavier…was here, for her. Halle couldn’t hold back her relieve tears but of course that feeling was short lived. Then Halle was alone again with her body’s urgent demands. She closed her eyes, trying futilely to center her wild thoughts through the intensifying contractions. But it was impossible to find any inner calm or fortitude. Not with her heart pounding anew wondering how much longer until
Xavier's Surrogate THE BIRTH
Halle’s heart hammered violently in her chest as the first contraction seized her swollen belly. There was no denying it now – the terror and physical exertion of her escape attempt had triggered full blown labor. Her child was coming, ready or not, even as Martha’s henchmen battered viciously to break in.“Shit!” Halle cursed under her breath as she held her belly, the pain hitting her unexpectedly and making her whole body sway and her legs shake. Leaning heavily on the dusty desk, Halle fought to stay upright and quiet through the painful tightening. But despite clenching her jaw, a low moan still escaped through her gritted teeth. The dampness soaking her dress kept spreading. “Why are you so impatient…” Halle cursed through gritted teeth, trying her best to stay up right so as to prevent any complications. From down the cellar corridor came another resounding crack – the stubborn old door’s hinges were splintering rapidly under the men’s force. In mere minutes they would be
Xavier's Surrogate THE BABY
Halle awoke with a gasp, her heart already racing. Today was the day – the day she would finally attempt her escape from this nightmare. She lay still for a moment, focusing on slowing her breathing and gathering her courage. The gloom shrouded the cramped room, but Halle’s eyes discerned the packed bag hidden beneath her cot containing the supplies she had managed to secretly squirrel away over the past week. The last week had been utter torment, forcing herself to endure her mother’s assaults and the groping hands of repulsive men trying to lay claim to her while pretending total resignation. More than once she had nearly faltered, the will to fight slowly being crushed out of her. But she would gently caress the swell of her belly. She could not – would not – let this place and its monsters claim another child if there was any hope of escape.Moving slowly to avoid any sounds of creaking, Halle eased herself up to sit on the edge of the mattress. Her heavy, cumbersome belly m
Xavier's Surrogate SILENCE
The days dragged by in agonizing torture as Halle remained trapped in her personal hell. Time ceased to hold meaning within the dingy confines of the small room that had been hers as a teenager under her mother’s cruel control. The peeling walls oozed with memories of past suffering, the very air thick with hopelessness.And now, heavy with her unborn child, Halle felt more trapped than ever. Her mother’s daily visits always ended with fresh bruises blossoming on her skin, dark reminders of her powerlessness. When not enduring her mother’s rage, Halle spent the empty hours curled miserably on the cot, arms wrapped around her belly as if to shield the precious life within from the darkness pressing in around them.On the fifth night, Halle lay tense and sleepless, every creak of the old brothel putting her nerves on edge. She stared dry-eyed into the gloom, too weary even for tears. The baby’s steady kicks were her only comfort.When the familiar scrape of the main door opening reached
