Chapter 66
Selene was seated on the bed, the pillow on her lay as she waited for Xavier to finish washing up. There was no way she was going back to sleep in her room where Edna and Miranda had just been violated by those men they had sent for her.
Xavier didn’t let her either, so he arranged for another room where they would sleep together.
Selene had been surprised when she saw Xavier at the villa. She had been a little mad at him earlier for neither texting nor even calling her. He apologized, saying he was planning on surprising her instead. And she was indeed surprised by his presence.
She could hear the shower rushing from the bathroom. Xavier was taking a long time in the bathroom, and she couldn’t help but wonder if he took that much time every day just by taking a shower.
She sighed, searched for the remote, and turned on the TV. The room the staff had arranged for them was much larger than the one she was sleeping in earlier, and she couldn’t help but get comfy and enjoy what was displayed on the TV.
Meanwhile,
In the bathroom, Xavier was trying to calm his member down. He had only inhaled a little of the aphrodisiac scent and he had been trying not to get hard. Each time he stroked his hard meat, he would release immediately, but it would continue to get hard again.
“Fuck!!” He cursed under his breath.
He was well aware that he had used so much time in the shower and Selene wanted to use it too, but he couldn’t go out with a hard-on. It will freak Selene out and she might decide to go back to sleep in her room. That wasn’t what he wanted—he wanted to cuddle her to sleep like he did two days ago.
“Just sleep already!” He muttered under his breath as he glared at his member, while stroking it without stopping. He released another load of cum. When he noticed his member going limp, he sighed in relief.
He quickly cleaned up before he left the bathroom.
He had a towel wrapped around his waist with another for wiping his wet hair.
He sighted Selene already asleep while the TV displayed some things he didn’t pay attention to. He stared at her, a smile on his lips.
“So cute,” he mumbled to himself. He leaned towards her, not sure of what he was about to do. A few drops of water from his wet hair landed on Selene’s face, waking her up.
She opened her eyes and found Xavier so close to her face. Her eyes widened but her body remained stiff. Her heart jumped because the only time his face was so close to her, he had kissed her.
They continued to stare at each other, their heart beating in sync without anyone saying a word to break the silence.
Selene couldn’t help but admire his long lashes.
’He’s a man, what does he need long lashes for?’ She couldn’t help but wonder.
“How are you doing?” She heard him ask her.
She felt her heart skip a beat when she heard his voice. No matter how many times she had heard him speak, she still couldn’t get used to how deep and commanding it was. It was as if she had no choice but to respond to him.
“I’m doing good,” she managed to respond.
Everything that had happened that day was unexpected. Even though she had anticipated an evil trap by the trio, she didn’t expect them to go that far.
She stared at Xavier in the eyes, the same way he was staring at her. His black eyes looked like a black hole and she couldn’t help but feel herself being pulled into it.
Meanwhile, Xavier felt himself getting drowned in her ocean-blue eyes.
“Thank you,” she suddenly said.
“What have I said about you thanking me?” He questioned her.
Selene sighed. “I still need to thank you. You have saved me so many times and I don’t know how to repay you,” she said.
Each time she remembered how many times she could have died or been raped by her enemies, she would always remember Xavier, her savior and protector. She suddenly felt warmth spread across her heart.
When she noticed a smile pull on his lips, her breath hitched.
Xavier leaned closer to her face and Selene’s heart skipped a beat. When Xavier was about to capture her lips, he suddenly felt himself being pushed away. Before he could register what had just happened, Selene had already slipped from under him and rushed towards the bathroom.
He stared at the bathroom, stunned by what had just happened. He smiled before he went to look for his clothes.
When Selene finished showering, she peeked out of the bathroom, silently hoping that Xavier had already gone to bed. Unfortunately for her, Xavier was still wide awake. He had already switched the channel to a football channel.
Her lips pulled up in amusement.
’I thought all CEOs watched the business news, but I guess my husband is different,’ she thought to herself. When she realized the term she had used to address Xavier, a rosy hue spread on her cheeks.
Sighing, she stepped out of the bathroom, took her clothes, and rushed back inside to wear them.
When she was done, she walked towards the bed, got under the covers, and hoped that Xavier wasn’t going to continue what he wanted to do earlier.
Xavier turned off the TV and followed suit by getting under the covers as well.
He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her towards him. At first, Selene was shocked, but she didn’t complain.
“Goodnight,” he wished her, pecking her forehead which only spread more warmth to her heart.
“Goodnight,” he wished back. They closed their eyes to sleep.
When Xavier was sure that Selene was deep in slumber, he opened his eyes, sneaked towards the bathroom, and mumbled some words in dissatisfaction.
“Just go to sleep, fuck!” He cursed at his hardening member.
