At the moment, Xavier didn't know what to say. But every day since he came back, he is longing for her. Should he tell her that he still loves her and it will never fade? She looked so beautiful with her outfit today although she looked like she's going to a funeral. Xavier's body just wanted to be close to her. He wanted to be attached to her forever.

"I want to know if you don't love anymore. So, you'll be free and I'll be free. You can fuck anyone you like and I'll do the same." Athena spoke again. His heart clenched.

​​

"Athena," He called softly. He wanted to reach her and touch her.

"Xavier, just tell me." She begged.

"I can't be with you," He mumbled. "But I love you, so much that it hurts. You are free to love someone else…"

"That's not the answer that I wanted." She stood and walked around him. She bent down and grabbed his collar. "You are a coward."

"I am." Xavier couldn't hold himself anymore when she's this near to him. He stood and pulled her. His mouth shoved into hers and they kissed torridly. They become careless while their mouths are making love. Xavier pushed away from the papers and pulled her up to the desk. They stopped and stared at each other. Athena unbuttoned his shirt and he caressed her hips and kissed her on the neck. He pulled the low collar line of her dress that was showing her cleavage.

He popped her busts out and sucked each of them. Athena moaned nearly squeezing her legs. She reached his pants. She undoes everything quickly. Just as she expected, he's already erect. He pulled her up and lifted her tight dress. Then, he pulled off her panties and shoved them to her without any care. She loved it and she thrust back to him. Xavier has been dreaming of this. He's been dreaming of her.

"F~ck, I love you so much…"

"Yes, love me." Athena moaned. "Harder,"

Xavier thrust to her harder and she let out a few cries. Xavier didn't close his eyes and watched her every expression. He made love to her on that desk until both of them reached their climax quickly. Xavier hugged her tightly. He didn't leave her yet. He wanted to feel her pulsating. He wanted to feel her breathing and how she clenched to him down there.

"I will always love you." He said softly. A tear fell from her eyes and he quickly wiped it. He didn't want to see any tears. He kissed her lips.

"I don't want to leave." Her voice broke.

"I know…" He kissed her nose. "But my secretary will go in and we can't be seen like this."

"How about tonight?"

Xavier hugged her tightly and nodded. He didn't want to restrain anymore. He can just keep it secret from his mother and wait for her to recover from her traumas.

"But let's keep this a secret, okay?"

"It's fine with me…" Athena inhaled his scent and kissed his lips.

"I hate to leave you inside but, I have to pull out."

She nodded and let him leave. He tucked himself in his pants and he took the tissue and wiped her down there. He gave her panties back and she put them in. She fixed her dress and checked her lipstick. He has lots of lipstick stains and mess. She took out a wet tissue from her purse and wiped it on his face while he's fixing his shirt. Xavier held her waist while she's busy wiping her face.

"You still have the key to our house right?"

She nodded.

"Or we can stay at my place."

"Let's stay at your place. I don't have stocks of food…" he caressed her curves and kissed her nose. "I'm sorry that I have to keep it a secret. Mom is going through therapy and she shouldn't know."

"I understand."

"I love you so much and I'm sorry for leaving you. I have to take my mom away…"

"Grandpa said that he's waiting for her."

"I know… she is trying to heal now when your mom came to our house."

She stopped and creased her brows.

"She came to your house?"

"Yes, with your dad. But your mom spoke to my mom… I think she doesn't want to lose me too. That's why she's taking baby steps to move on from the past."

Athena smiled and hugged him.

"Good thing…"

"I will make love more with you."

"Me too."

Athena picked her purse and took out his phone and gave it to him.

"Our phone…"

"Okay," Xavier kissed her lips and made love to them for a few more. "I'll be with you later after work."

She nodded. Xavier kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. At that time, he didn't want to be separated from her. After a few endless smooches, Athena finally leaves his office. She went to Zendaya's office. Zendaya is busy with loads of documents on her table. Zendaya waved at her and Athena sat down.

"Do you need anything?" Zendaya smirked.

"Nah, I just need my man to be back to my bed."

Zendaya giggled like a girl.

"Wow,"

"But his mother is going under therapy. So, we have to keep it as a secret."

"At least, you guys aren't brokenhearted anymore."

"Yeah," Athena nodded. "I thought that he didn't love me anymore, but we just ended up making love at his desk." Athena could still feel him down there. "So, I'm off to go shopping for groceries."

"And condoms." Zendaya winked.

"I don't need that. My shot is not expired and I'll have it before it ends." Athena stood and waved at her as she left Zendaya's office.

She's happy now. She left the facility and drove her car to the grocery store, still wearing the same outfit. Few people might have looked at her because she's wearing such a thing but she didn't care. She walked with grace. She picked a few ingredients and bought things for her penthouse. In the middle of shopping for food, her phone rang. She answered her mother's call.

"Athena, how is it?" Sabrina sounded excited on the other line.

"We are back together."

"Oh, okay…"

"His mom is going under therapy and I agreed with him to keep it as a secret."

"Don't worry, everything will be alright."

"Thank you, mom." Athena pressed her lips.

"For what?"

"For everything."

"Princess, you don't have to thank me. There's nothing I can't do for you, Athena."

"I know. And I am so grateful to have a mother like you."

"You are welcome, Princess."

"And I won't be coming home. I'll stay in the Penthouse with him. I am currently buying ingredients."

"Good. Do you want me to send something to your Penthouse?"

"No. I'm fine. I have everything there. I love you, mom."

"I love you too,"

"Bye."

"Bye," Athena hung up and exhaled. The days without Xavier is something that she didn't want to go through again. She picked his favorite brand of coffee. His favorite chips… Athena bought every food that was his favorites. She knew everything about him. Even though he's talking while she had her eyes closed. She listened to him. And whenever she speaks, he would look at him and listen to her back. They would always end up making love. Xavier always showed his extreme love through lovemaking.

She went to the counter and put it all there as the attendant helped her. Her phone chimes. She pulled it and checked it.

Handsome X: Baby, I promise to be with you later. I'll finish this up and after I am done, I'll have you back in bed.

Athena flushed and she tapped to reply.

Athena: Make sure that your man down there is ready. Because my girl is ready, always for you.

Handsome X: If you keep seducing me that way, I might end up leaving my work early.

Athena: I love you.

Handsome X: I love you, to the moon and back.

Athena felt a hand smacked at her back. She stopped and turned to the punk, who interrupted the attendant that is scanning her items.

"Did you just smack my butt?" Athena asked. The man winked at her. He's handsome but not as handsome as her family and boyfriend. He looked rich too, and she doesn't care at all. She punched the man right into the nose and kneed his crotch. Then, she kicked her away while he's struggling on the floor. The guard came up, and Athena paid for her bills, and they packed it up.

"You are going to pay for it." The man gritted.

"Pay for what?" Athena asked. "Broken balls?" She smirked. The guard asked her what happened. She pointed to the CCTV camera and exhaled.

"Ma'am we need your statement. Shall we call the police?" The guard nicely spoke to her.

"Yeah, call the police! She assaulted me." The man said as his friend took him up. "You dressed up like you are asking for it." Athena got really angry, and she approached the guy to beat him up, but the guard went in the way and told the man to shut up.

The manager came, and Athena exhaled. She pulled out her phone to call her dad. Her dad will do something to this guy.
