“Draven.” She called breathing heavily as she stared at his eyes. He didn’t break eye contact with her, he slowly lifted his hand and Xalia whimpered and shivered in fear.
“I don’t understand you Xalia.” He whispered and leaned closer to her.
“You read the rules right?” He whispered in her ear and his breath against her ear sent shivers down her spine. Xalia didn’t give him a response and he bit her ear softly, she moaned out in pleasure and in fear. Why is her body reacting to his touch?
“Why are you so… ”
“Draven.” They heard a voice call and he pulled away from her, Xalia breathed out and jumped off the dining table.
His friend Henry walked in and Draven rolled his eyes, Xalia was so glad he showed up, she wondered what might have happened if he didn’t.
Will Draven really tie her up just to have sex with her?
“Hey dude.” He called.
“What?” Draven replied harshly and Henry looked at Xalia whose cheeks were flushed and he chuckled.
“Oh, did I interrupt something?” He asked and Xalia couldn’t take the embarrassment anymore, she rushed out of the dining and they both watched her climb the stairs.
“What the fuck are you doing to that girl?” Henry asked with a form and Draven rolled his eyes.
“None of your business.”
“Dude you are taking advantage of her, she just experienced something bad.”
“And what is that?” Draven asked sarcastically.
“Her fiancee dumped her on her fucking wedding day.”
“And I bought her with my money on that same day.”
“At least let her be for a while.”
“No, you let me be for a while, go back to New Jersey.”
“No.” Henry replied simply and shrugged.
“Draven.” They suddenly heard her voice and they both turned to see her standing at the entrance to the dining.
Draven didn’t give her a response, instead, he gave her a questioning look.
“Can… can I go outside for a while? I feel… ”
“No.” Draven cut her off and she looked at Henry who kept staring at her with pity in his eyes.
“I will walk you outside, come on.” He said and held her hand before she could respond, he pulled her outside and closed the door.
“Let’s take a walk to the beach, it is not far from here.” Henry suggested and she looked back at the house.
“What? Is something wrong?” He asked seeing her worried expression.
“Won’t Draven get mad? He said I should go out and you… ”
“Don’t worry about that, I will talk to him.” He replied and she nodded.
“Okay.” She muttered and he held her hand, they both walked away from the mansion and headed to the beach.
“Xalia right?” He suddenly asked as they walked and she glanced at him before nodding in response.
“Xalia McCall, Mr. McCall is such a great man.” He chuckled and Xalia shrugged.
“I’m sorry about what happened between you and Harrison.”
“It’s fine.” She replied and he nodded, they didn’t say a word to each other till they got to the beach, Xalia noticed it was empty and she wondered why.
“Why is the beach so empty?” She asked looking around.
“Oh, right. Draven secured this area under private property for your stay in Hawaii.”
“For real? That will cost him a lot.” She said and he chuckled.
“Have you met Draven? His money is his pride.” Henry replied. The wind blew and Xalia closed her eyes, She breathed out and enjoyed the feeling of the air against her skin, Henry smiled as he watched her, he still hadn’t let go of her hand and he couldn’t help but admire how beautiful she was and how her skin glows.
“You are beautiful.” He blurted out before he could stop himself and Xalia opened her eyes and turned to him.
“Hey, I haven’t seen you smile.” He suddenly said and let go of her hand, he moved closer to her and smiled at her, Xalia kept a straight face and stared back at him.
“Come on, smile.”
“There is nothing to smile about.” She replied and Henry chuckled.
“Come on, smile.” He urged and cupped her cheeks, Xalia was surprised by his actions but she didn’t show it, he seemed nice to her so why not let him?
“Xalia.” He called staring into her eyes and she slowly smiled, he smiled back and chuckled.
“That’s the smile, you look pretty.”
“Thanks.” She replied and bit her lip.
Xalia suddenly saw Draven walking towards them and she pulled away from Henry, he put his hands in his pocket and they both waited for him to get to them.
“Come on.” He told Xalia as soon as he got to them.
She followed him and Henry trailed behind them, They got back to the mansion and Henry stood outside as Xalia and Draven walked in.
He waited patiently for Draven to walk out and he finally did.
“Hey, she didn’t do anything wrong, she just needed air.”
“Why were you here?”
“Harrison wanted me to check up on her.”
“Why?”
“Because you are a jerk, you are fucking treating her like she is a ten year old.”
“Why are you still talking to Harrison and you are calling me a jerk? He fucked her sister and got her pregnant.”
“I am not on Harrision’s side, neither am I on your side but treat that girl right.”
“Leave Henry.”
“Fine, but I am only going back to New Jersey if you promise to not hurt her.”
“Go away, Henry.” Draven scoffed and walked into the house, Henry rolled his eyes before walking to his car.
Draven got into the house and met Xalia sitting quietly on the couch, She looked terrified and he kept his eyes on her.
“Part of the contract, you get to decide one thing you want that we can do as a couple.” He suddenly said and she turned to him.
“Hmm, no… no, it’s fine. I don’t want anything.”
“Just say it.” He ordered and she exhaled.
“I had a list of things Kyle and I wanted to do on our honeymoon. Can… can I do them with you?” She asked.
“Okay.” He replied and she was surprised, she nodded and smiled holding the tip of her dress.
He suddenly leaned closer to her and she froze, his nose brushed her ear and he bit it slightly.
“Harrison says hi.” He whispered and Xalia felt her heartbeat rapidly.
