CHAPTER 67

​​

Xander continued kissing Jade for some minutes more and after some time they pulled apart to catch their breaths.

Both pressed their foreheads together, smiling at the other. It was such a wonderful moment for the two of them. For Xander he felt like screaming his heart out. This was the first time Jade had returned any of his kisses and it meant the world to him.

"That was heavenly and not even my best of dreams could compare," Xander confessed to her. Jade did not know what to say other than smile at him.

His sweet words were doing so much to her and she was happy for it.

"So you have been dreaming of kissing me?" Jade asked playfully and trailed her fingers down to tickle at his side, causing Xander to giggle and pull his head and body away from her.

Holding her hand, he pulled her with him and they continued their strolling. "I never denied the fact that I do, Quinn. I do dream of you so much.'

"Oh really? What were they about."

"Kisses."

"You sure are a naughty, shameless CEO."

"Thank you. I would take that as a compliment." Xander responded calmly to her as their joined hands swung in between them, enjoying the cool breeze together.

"Only you would take that as a compliment."

"What?" Xander halted and pulled on their joined hands bringing Jade closer to himself and staring deeply into her brown eyes. "Would you have had me not take that as a compliment and feel bad?"

"I… I – I umm huh…"

"I thought so too. You would rather not, right?"

"Uh… I~" Jade was rendered speechless by his words and the freezing gaze of his deep stare. She just did not understand how she could be so affected by this naughty man.

Everything till now felt so new, so strange, yet her whole body danced in anticipation as to what he would do.

As if on cue and sensing her mild distress, Xander inched his face closer to hers for another smoothing loving…

The next day came very quickly and they decided to continue their love tour. Meanwhile, Sky and Jenny's relationship improved over the night and they became almost inseparable during daybreak.

Perhaps the feel of the unification of their minds and bodies was more than enough for Jenny to regret even spending a day without him and refused to now let go.

Jay and Macy on the other hand had spent their time together in a bar where Macy drunk, drowning her sorrows and agony in the drinks served.

Jay had also used the opportunity to apologize to her about that other day and the flower mx up and Macy understood easily.

So, he was her knight in shining armor as he stayed there with her listening to her every woes and cries till, she could drink no more and he took her home.

Now, Xander decided to take Jade on a personal tour of the island, leaving Macy behind since she was still battling with her hanger over.

"Jay, please help me take care of Macy," Jade pleaded with Jay before she left with Xander.

"No worries. I promise to. You have fun, okay?"

"Sure."

They took a helicopter for their tour and high in the sky they went.

They went through the island and ocean till they got to a place in the open sea, like an extension of the island, surrounded by an inland of water forming the shape of love and a little dragon.

"Look." Xander pointed down and Jade strained her neck a bit just so she could see what he wanted her to see. "Isn't it beautiful?" He spoke again.

A smile spread across his lips as she watched her open her mouth in awe at the sight below.

"This is a symbol of my love for you, Quinn." Jade blinked as her mind began to register what he just said and she turned her head instinctively to look at him. "I love you."

"Xander."

"You do not have to say anything. I just want you to know that I have named this place after you, Quinn. I want to be able to come here anytime and think about you."

"Who am I that you should name a part of an island after me?"

"Because you are the woman I love."

"No, that's not what I meant." Xander tilted his head to the side to look at her and he stared into her hazel eyes in confusion. "I meant you just cannot name any Island after me."

"Why can't I? My family owns the island. It is my inheritance. I can name it after whomever I chose. Besides, it is not every part of the island but just this selected part that is named after you."

"Ohh…"

"Do not be sad about that though, but I cannot change a name of an island, Quinn. Not yet at least."

"Nah, it was just nothing, that's all."

"Hey baby."

"Yes?" Her eyes fluttered as she turned to face him properly.

"I love you. I know I said I would wait for when you are ready to accept me and stuff, but I just want to sing those words into your ears each day and tell you just how much you make my heart beat and my inner beast rage for you."

There was no reply from Jade just a very deep blush that she could not hide neither could she deny the fact that she had missed him dearly as well and even though he was still near, he was her very heart beat but the stubborn Jade just would not give him the satisfaction.

"Be mine, Quinn." Xander proposed again.

The air around them seemed to have only gotten hotter than before, further worsening her flushed cheeks as she gave him a nice smile. "Not yet." That was her reply and even though it was not a favorable answer, it was still something Xander could do with and look forward to.

"Try more. You are getting there," she whispered on his face before sitting straight and pushing herself closer to him. Their faces were only inches apart and Xander could just deep his head in and he would have her lips pressed to his, but he was fighting with his instincts not to do so.

She could see the battle he was battling with and that only made her smile more, letting out a chuckle before helping him out.

She brushed her lips against his, tempting and teasing him but he did nit budge other than bite his lips in anticipation. And after playing around for some seconds, Jade gave in to the desire eating away at their hearts.

She could not say she was not touched by his gifts and all, she loved it, every bit of it but there was a part insider her that prevented her from nit agreeing and jumping into his arm, accepting him.

He was not the only fighting an internal battle there. She also was battling with her own desires and need and put rationality first.

Mission first, love was only going to be a distraction.

But who said a little kiss would hurt? And so she gave in, licking his lips ever so gently before she pressed her lips on his and pried his mouth open with her tongue, going in for the kill.

Xander was shocked when the tip of her tongue came knocking at the entrance of his mouth and just wanting to see how daring she could be, he gave her entrance and she attacked his tongue.

Her kisses, although nit very slow or too fast, it had a certain pace to it that further left him speechless at how true, pure and innocent a kiss could be, displaying the true nature of the kisser.

As much as it was slowly times, it was as much perfect as the little bit if fastness, portrayed her need and want of him while still gently nudging his tongue that this was her first time being like this and she was as inexperienced as her kiss became perfectly experienced.

It was such a confusing mushy feeling that Xander could not describe and he so much wanted to enjoy the feeling longer.

Responding for the first time, he captured her tongue with his hot tongue and deepened the kiss, holding her head in place with one hand while the other went downwards to hold her waist and press her upper body to his.

Gone was caution once more and he pulled her to him, unhooking her seat belt in one swift motion and allowing her body fall fully on his.

Never did they break contact and continued exploring the feeling the other gave, enjoying themselves as their tongues danced to a rhythm unknown t both the kissers while his hands both wrapped around her, squashing his body with hers.

Jade did not lose as well and wrapped both hands around his neck, smiling into the kiss at how things had gone far when all she wanted was just a small kiss, but she wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

"I love you so much," Xander whispered on her lips before continuing from where they had left off.
