Chapter 86
Selene’s eyes widened in shock as she felt Xavier’s lips press against hers, pinning her against the wall of his room. The suddenness of his kiss left her breathless and stunned, her mind racing to process what was happening.
She placed her hands on his chest, about to push him away, but there was no way she could push a full-grown man like him, especially since he was holding her neck in place.
“Xavier,” she tried to call him.
Xavier nibbled on her lower lips, sucking with so much intensity Selene felt a drop of sweat run down her back. She tapped him on his chest several times, wanting to be free from his grip but he made sure to keep her in one place.
Before she knew it, Xavier had already slipped his tongue in her mouth, tasting her. Selene felt her heart skip a beat as he kissed her deeply. She didn’t have the strength anymore to try to fight him off anymore, instead, she kissed him back.
Xavier tilted her head at an angle that allowed him to kiss her more deeply. As she began to run out of breath, she tapped him on the chest. Xavier stepped back, his eyes lingering on her flushed face, taking in every detail of her reaction.
He didn’t know what got into him earlier, but he was sure he didn’t like seeing Liam close to Selene. They may just be friends, but his closeness to ugh her was disturbing to him. He felt jealous.
“Xavier, Liam is just a f-friend,” she said as she tried to catch her breath. That was the first time he kissed her with such ferocity.
“I know you think of him as a friend, but I doubt that’s what he thinks of you,” said Xavier. He watched as Selene tipped out her tongue to lick her lips. That action of hers woke up a monster in him that he wanted to keep caged for a while.
“Liam is a nice guy,” said Selene. When she saw the way Xavier’s eyes narrowed at her, she rephrased her words, “Liam hasn’t done anything wrong to me. You saw the way he defended me when Michelle was questioned at the villa p>
Xavier ran his hand through his hair, sighing.
“Alright, he’s a nice person like you said he is, but I won’t bat an eyelash if he tries to do anything to you. You are still my wife,” he stated.
Selene’s naw dropped, leaving her mouth open in shock.
“He has eyes for you and I’m sure he thinks he has a chance with you after you agreed to hang out with him p>
“I only did that because I felt lonely in here without you,” Selene blurted out. She looked away when she realized what she had just said.
A faint grin pulled on Xavier’s lips.
“So you missed me?” He asked.
Selene bit her lips, unable to answer that question. It was simple, yet complicated.
“I didn’t,” she replied.
Xavier took a step closer to her, closing the gap he left between them earlier. Selene had to crane her head to look at him.
“Are you sure? Because that wasn’t what Kace told me,” he whispered in her ear.
’Damn you Kace,’ Selene thought to herself.
“He was just bluffing. I was worried something happened to you,” she said.
“Is that so?” Xavier asked, biting on her earlobe.
“Xavier, wait, why are we doing this?” He suddenly heard Selene ask. He pulled away from her to look her in the eyes. “I m-mean,” Selene bit her lips harder, trying to force the words out of her mouth, but her heartbeat kept racing. “Never mind,” she said, about to leave Xavier’s room but he held her back.
“You want to know why I kissed you?” He asked her.
Although curious, she shook her head.
“I’m not. I need to go practice for my last scene,” she said. “We can talk later,” she added before leaving.
Xavier searched for his phone when he found it, he dialed Kace’s number.
At Aurora Heights University, Allison was at the cafeteria with Olivia, her best friend as the both of them chewed on their lunch.
“Aren’t you going to the set today?” Olivia asked her.
“Her last scene will be recorded in the evening so I still have time,” Allison replied and Olivia nodded in understanding.
“Have you and Derek spoken since after what I told you the last time?” Olivia asked.
Allison froze for a second before she shook her head. “I couldn’t talk to him about it. I’ve not seen him in class for the past few days now.” Turning to Olivia, Allison asked, “Do you think he’s avoiding me p>
Olivia shrugged. “I have no idea, babe. But when you see him, are you going to break up with him? He cheated on you after all p>
“I won’t unless I hear his side of the story,” Allison replied.
Olivia scoffed. “His side of the story huh? Well, I hope you don’t let him fool you once again,” she said before standing up from her seat and walking away.
Allison looked down at the remaining piece of her food as tears pooled in her eyes. Immediately, she wiped it away before it dropped.
All of a sudden, she heard the voice of someone familiar whisper her name in her ears.
She turned to find Kace up close; she had to scoot a little to breathe.
“Why are your eyes red?” He asked
“What are you doing here?” She questioned him back, glancing at the people who were looking in their direction already.
“I came to see you,” Kace replied plainly before taking a seat.
“You can’t do that. You and I don’t have anything to do with each other, so please, can you stop talking to me?” She requested.
“What if I don’t p>
“I have a boyfriend,” she revealed.
Kace stared at her for a few seconds, a slow grin pulling on his lips. “So p>
