Sinful Temptation 53
She still didn't reply, feeling his heated gaze on her face. Emma pretended not to hear him as she continued to eat her food. Xander quietly stood up, grabbed the bowl of salad, sat down in his chair, and started filling his plate whereas Emma stared at her plate shocked. He just didn't do that! With a clenched jaw as she ate her food hurriedly. Once done she deliberately excused herself to get his attention but got none as Xander continued to devour his food while easily ignoring her existence. It seemed her plan was doubled over on herself only. With a huff, she went into the lounge, grabbed her books, and retired to her room. The next day went by quietly as she drowned herself in her studies cause tomorrow was her exam. On the day of the exam, she was all ready and prepared to succeed. Luckily the exam wasn't tough and she completed it on time. Back home she was all alone because he was always out to Lord knows where. She started following her daily routine which included r
Sinful Temptation 54
Xander came back home, the first thing he did was to search for Emma as the girl was nowhere to be found, so he went to her room and there she lay on her bed like a beautiful doll drowned in her sleep. The girl was studying day and night to get good marks in her exams and that's why he stayed away from her as much as possible to not disturb or bother her because he knows these days she needs to concentrate on her studies. After checking on her he went to his room and had a long relaxing shower. Changing into sweatpants and a white shirt he was about to go to the kitchen to have something to eat as he was hella hungry and hadn't eaten anything since morning. But his footsteps stopped in the corridor when he heard muffled cries and whispers from her room. Walking there in fast steps he opened the door only to witness her sweating and shaking form on the bed. Her hands were clawing on the sheets as the muffled cries continued to escape her lips. "S-stop..." She sobbed and Xander was
Sinful Temptation 55
Xander was rendered speechless by her innocent confession. His heart forgot the literal meaning of beating for a second and his throat got clogged up for the very first time in his life. She loves him. 'You succeeded.' Blade said angrily because in some twisted way his heart knows he manipulated her but then again he hasn't manipulated her all the time. The things that happen between them just happen naturally. It's pure natural with no hidden motives behind but the man was unable to understand his own emotions. "I k...know it's shocking for y..you. But your care is all I want... Y.. you protected me when I h... had no one... Y... you did so much for me... you saved me." She blabbered in a soft voice making it difficult for him to breathe. "It's okay if y...you don't f...feel the same way b...but I will still feel for you 'cause it's not in my control." She mumbled softly with a beautiful smile grazing her lips. Her blue eyes twinkled with happiness. "I will protect you." He breat
Sinful Temptation 56
Emma gaped at him spellbound. How this man can read her like an open book or perhaps he was a magician that's why he knows what was he doing inside her head. Not knowing what to say and not having enough strength to speak, she bobbed her head in affirmation letting him know that she understood. "Good. Now ask me something?" He told her cooly, letting go of her arm as she took a small step back and lowered down her eyes instantly feeling nervous at his demand. "W-where are you g-going tonight?" She asked softly while fidgeting her fingers. The machine made a sound and toasts came out as Emma started to plate them while waiting for his answer. "A dinner with someone important." He said calmly as she peeked at him before looking down again. "Ummm... who is that s-someone?" She mustered up the courage to ask him. His face was expressionless but his eyes held a mischievous glint in them. "With a beautiful woman." He said casually picking up an apple from the basket and tossing it up
Sinful Temptation 57
His green forest eyes widened into the size of plates. As he stiffened in his place. His eyes ever so slowly gazed at her from head to toe making goosebumps appear all over her flesh. She visibly noticed how his Adam apple bobbed up and down as he gulped. Xander loosened his tie around his neck as she saw how his tattooed neck looked tense. Emma was facing him with scrunched shoulders looking tense but Xander's eyes were set on her naked back that he could see through the mirror and she was unaware that he could see her back from the mirror and the sight in front of him was exotic, to say the least. Xander took a step towards her followed by another step as she gulped feeling conscious and so very scared for the Lord knows what reason. Maybe she was scared that he would find her fat and leave right now in disgust but nothing prepared her for what he said next. "You look so fucking hot!" The purr in his deep voice had her gulping as she continuously stared at his polished black shoe
Sinful Temptation 58
This was the first time she was addressing him by his name and the way his name rolled off her lips had him going crazy. Blade was like a restless caged beast inside him. Ready to let out. "Say it again." He rasped as his hold on her waist became stronger. Sparks were driving them insane. "X-Xander..." She said again in that soft sweet voice of hers. Her gesture was so meek, and the blush on her face so deadly gorgeous. "You will kill me, woman." He rasped out making her peek at him through her lashes. "I can't. That'll kill me too." She breathed in a soft voice under her breath and if he wouldn't be close he could've never heard it and bloody hell. Her words swayed his heart in a hum of ecstasy. A delicate smile adorned his lips and Emma barely stifled her gasp while looking at the emotion in his eyes which was far different from need and hunger. He was gazing at her with love and not to mention that, to die for a smile which she was witnessing for the very first time from this
Sinful Temptation 59
Emma was all cheery and happy for the last two days. That date was the first and the best date of her life. Emma was on cloud nine. Her happiness knew no bounds but at the same time, she was so very afraid of life. Life always took away the best things from her and no way did she want to lose this man who has become the most important part of her life. Not being able to sleep she decided to roam in the backyard as it was good rainy weather outside. Xander was probably dead asleep by now. Emma left and it was so amazing in the garden at this time. After casually strolling there for an hour or two she came back inside. She was closing the main door when she saw a silhouette of a guy near the trees in front. She would've taken it casually but her heart jolted in her ribcage when she witnessed a red eye shining from afar and gazing directly at her. It was as if the floor beneath her feet was snatched away, leaving her falling into the demise of her traumatic past. From the bottom of
Sinful Temptation 60
Emma was wide awake the whole night. Sleep didn't come to her at all. She kept on looking towards the curtained window and door now and then. Utterly afraid, that man would barge in and do what he hasn't done all those years back. Xander came inside his room only to find her wide awake sitting on the bed with her back resting on the headboard and eyes looking tired with dark circles underneath. She looked so damn pale. "You didn't sleep?" He asked her calmly to which she just blinked but then nodded her head softly. Getting up from the bed she walked out of his room and Xander didn't stop her. It was fucking bothering him what scared her this much? If they saw her at his home then they fucking knew who she was. And now her life was in danger. Calming his nerves down he started packing his stuff. Emma took a long relaxing shower. Which was much needed after last night's incident. The shower was necessary to wash away her memories. She took longer in there, trying to coax herself
