Authors pov
Sarah's eyes snapped open and she gasped loudly when she lost her balance.
"Ahhh..."
She was about to slip and lost her balance of the railing but she was held back by the large and strong hand. Sarah took hold of the first thing she got and it was Xavier's collar.
Her eyes were tightly closed and she was holding on his collar for her dear life, Xavier scoffed at her reaction.
'you promised me that you will surrender to the death if I am not there but you are living your life happily like I was not even in it... How can you be so heartless Sarah, how can you break me so easily and behave like nothing has happened...'
He thought bitterly.
Sarah opened her eyes and instantly met with the furious grey eyes.
"What are you doing?..."
She rasped like her voice is stuck in her throat. Her body was frozen in his firm hold. She looked back and she was on the edge, she could feel railing scratching her thighs. Little push from him and she will fall down.
"Giving you a reality check..."
Xavier spat. His hot breath fanned her dry lips and she subconsciously licked them. Xavier's eyes darted towards it and he gulped down making his Adam's apple Bob up and down. The plump red lips were alluring, he closed his eyes to distract himself and Cursed.
"This is my house... If you want to stay here, you will stay the way I want. This is not your father's house where you are a fucking princess. You are a Donna here and you should take your responsibilities seriously..."
His hold on her waist tightened grabbing fistful of her soft fleshy waist and Xavier was getting boner by her sexy waist. She was fitting in his hold like a piece of puzzle.
Sarah couldn't understand why she was getting Scolded. She haven't done anything to deserve this kind of behavior. She wanted to ask but it's like her voice is stuck in her throat, only thing she could recall is, him killing people brutally.
"This is my first and last warning to you... If I get any complaint against you, it won't end up good... All your meals will be with me, you will accompany me to the functions if asked you to... you will sleep here in my bedroom and will take all the responsibilities of donna."
He grumbled and her heart was hammering with his Every word. It's totally fine until his demands are rational. What she will do if he asks for something else which she can't do.
"Understand?..."
Xavier looked down towards her hands which were clutching tightly on his shirt, a weird sense of feeling rushed in his body when he saw her looking at him with this much submission. She was slightly shivering in his hold, her nose has turned red and eyes were almost glossy.
His eyes darted towards her chest, Sarah was curvy and chubby girl. The way she was holding his shirt it was making her breasts squeeze and create a very sexy cleavage which was clearly visible to Xavier. He slowly looked up towards her neck and admired her gulping pattern, her valley between neck and shoulder were so inviting. She has grown up in a beautiful woman.
Xavier's hardness was throbbing in his pants, he never thought that she can still have this kind of effect on him even after years. He slide his hand In her hair and pulled her face closer. Their lips were inch away, he looked at her lips and then to her eyes making his grip tight.
"I said, understand?..."
"Understood!..."
She whimpered at his grip.
Xavier let go of her hair and stepped back from her making her stumble back. He turned around and walked away.
Sarah was frozen in her place, her breath was stuck in her throat. For a moment everything spin and she took a hold of the railing. She somehow sat down on the chair which was placed in the balcony and took deep breaths.
Her head was throbbing, one particular nerve was hammering making her groan in pain. She clutched her head tightly. Everything about him felt so familiar yet she couldn't point out where she has experienced it. His voice, his eyes, his touch and scent everything felt familiar but she can't point out where. The more she tried to remember it, more it started hurting.
Xavier get in the washroom and banged his fists on the wall, cursing loudly. He didn't liked her effect on him.
"No, I can't fall for her trap again... It's just a innocent face, nothing else... she is a bitch."
He stripped under the shower and closed his eyes frustratingly looking at his rock hard boner. He wasn't hard like this in years. It was just a stress release with Amanda. He take out all his frustration on her and that woman is ready to take anything as long as she is getting money.
Sarah walked inside and straight away walked towards the closet. She changed into her night gown. She took her medicines and looked at the bed. It was big enough to fit 5 to 4 people but she couldn't muster up the courage to climb on it. Just few minutes ago her lovely husband has showed that how much he want her in his life and after that she can't sleep beside him shamelessly.
Sarah picked up the pillow and walked towards the couch. It was small as per her height and size but she had no other choice. Either she can sleep on the floor in freezing winter or she can sleep on the uncomfortable couch. She threw the pillow on it and laid down. Without blanket it was cold and she was sleeping in a fatal position in her night gown but it didn't fazed her as sleep quickly engulfed her all senses as her medicines started working.
Xavier wore his night clothes and came out, his eyes darted towards the bed but scrunched in confusion when he saw empty bed. He was ready to lash out thinking how dare she leave his room Even after warning but then he found her sleeping form on the couch.
He looked at her and her uncomfortable way of sleeping. Xavier walked towards her with intention to place her on the bed, he almost did it but then changed his mind.
"The fuck I care about her comfort..."
He gritted and went back to his bed.
He laid down on the bed covering himself with the bed sheet and closed his eyes.
He tossed and turned on the bed but couldn't sleep. His mind was continuously thinking about Sarah. It was a cold night and she was sleeping uncomfortably on the couch in her good for nothing gown. Xavier tried to convince himself that it doesn't matter but it was difficult, he wasn't able to sleep peacefully. he opened his eye and looked at her innocent sleeping face, her chubby cheeks were squeezed together. the same face which has destroyed his life.
Groaning he threw his bed sheets aside and went towards her. He bend down sliding his hands under her knees and neck, lifting her up in bridal style. He picked her up effortlessly, she wasn't light weighted but she felt like a feather to him..
"Fresh meat"
He looked at her Smirking and placed her on the bed. He covered her under the bed sheet and she quickly tangled herself in it like scared kitten making him smile unknowingly.
Xavier laid beside her and Sarah held on his arms seeking a warmth of his body. Xavier frowned looking at her.
He removed her hand from his arm and get out of the bed and looked at her sleeping form. He didn't wanted to fall for her again. It was difficult for him to heal and wasn't ready to take more wounds. He walked out of the room and went to the guestroom to sleep.
Only if he knew that he doesn't need to fall for her again because he never rose from her obsession. The only difference is it's bleeding and that's what he need to heal.
