《Undeniably Wanted》Chapter 29: To get to you

- Heather's POV
"H, did you see who was here tonight?" I look up towards Cami and look around the room. I scan until my eyes land on a familiar pair of blue eyes. He has his suit on to perfection however he has let his tie undone giving me some unholy thoughts. He is gorgeous... The way his muscle fit perfectly in his white button up. I can still picture those abs from the day on the beach. Mmm.
"Earth to H, damn girl! You look like you need a glass of water." I turn my head to see Cami giving me a knowing look. I just grin at her causing her to giggle. "Why don't you try something different tonight and sing to someone in particular."
I think about it for a minute. What could I sing? "I don't know Cami, I don't know what I would sing?"
"Oh oh, Leave that to me! I know what would be perfect!!!"
"How will I-"
"Don't worry H, You'll know the song!"
She dashes off to probably speak to Sam while I swivel my chair once again to look back towards Xavier. His dark hair is perfectly placed and his electric eyes are scanning over some documents in front of him. I turn back towards my drink and take a big gulp. God, I hope I don't make a fool of myself.
"Alright Ladies and Gentleman, once again we have a special guest with us tonight. Our own Sunrise has come back to sing for us!"
I take a deep breath before standing up and walk to the stage with my eyes directly set on Sam who gives me a bright smile while I hear some claps and whistling around me. Sam takes my hand and helps me to the mic. He gives my hand a gentle kiss before walking away.
"Hello everyone, thank you! I chose a song tonight after having a very... interesting week. I hope you enjoy it."
I look up to see Xavier already looking at me. When my eyes lock with his, I see his eyes slightly go wider. Ha, he is surprised! God I hope Cami knows what she's doing?? I look over towards her and give her a gentle nod. She starts the song and I immediately recognize it.

In your eyes, there's a heavy blue
One to love and one to lose
Sweet divide, a heavy truth
Water or wine, don't make me choose
I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night (night)
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky
I've been running through the jungle
I've been running with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you
I've been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you
I've looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
All for you, yeah, all for you
I've been running through the jungle
I've been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you (oh to get to you)
Your fingertips trace my skin
To places I have never been
Blindly I am following
Break down these walls and come on in
My eyes stay locked with Xavier who I can see is gripping his seat to stay where he is at. He has the look of a predator in his eyes making me his prey. I continue the song while swaying my hips gently. I can see others out of the corner of my eye giving me eager eyes but mine are only set on one pair. The way Xavier is tense makes me know that I have an effect on him as much as he has on me. I decide to take a chance and grab the mic out of the stand while still looking at him. I begin taking slow steps down the stage where I can see most the guests still have their eyes on me. I continue with my gaze with Xavier who has now pushed himself further to the edge of his seat. His eyes are hungry.
I make it to where I am standing right at his table not looking at anyone else. I stand right in front of him with less than a foot between us. I lean forward to run my finger tips over his jaw line feeling him clenching his jaw. Those vibrant blue eyes have a fire dancing in them.

-Xavier's POV
The song begins and I don't recognize it. Her vibrant eyes are still holding my gaze. I listen to the lyrics and her sensual voice. The song makes her voice sound rich like velvet. I continue to listen however her hips slightly swaying within the tightness of her dress has my muscles straining. It is taking every restraint I have to not rush to her and throw her over my shoulder like a damn cave man. Her long curled golden locks are swaying with her. I take a quick glance around us and all eyes are on her. Motherfuckers! I look back and notice she is only looking at me. She has not removed her eyes from mine. She is singing directly to me. I feel pride and lust...
She takes the mic and begins stepping off the stage walking towards me. I sit up straight and grip the end of the booth to control myself. I still feel everyone eyes following her however she never veers her gaze from mine. She gets to standing in front of our booth and is less than a foot away from me. I can feel the tension in my muscles but can't relax nor can I move. I feel like I am frozen waiting to see what she does next.
She leans forward finishing the song. Her fingertips gently grazing my jaw. I clench it tightly while her final words play in my head. I see the fire dancing in her eyes which I am sure mirror my own. She begins standing back up as we begin hearing loud whistling and clapping around us. Ah fuck it!
I stand up and grab the back of her neck bringing her into my embrace while giving her a passionate kiss. She doesn't hesitate to kiss me back with just as much need. Her lips dancing on mine causing me to groan as she giggles. I release her and see her smiling ear to ear while people are cheering. I can't help but chuckle and hug her tightly to me.
"Damn Angel, that was one hell of a performance." We look over to see Theo fanning himself. I roll my eyes as my sweetheart rest her head on my chest.
"How do you two know each other?" Mr. Wilks ask standing up.
"This is my sweetheart, Heather-"
"Just Heather! It's nice to meet you Mr..." She quickly cuts me off and leaves the question hanging asking for his name. Why didn't she want me to introduce her??
"Mr. Nicholas Wilks. It's nice to meet you Heather." She releases from my embrace and shakes his hand when Mr. Talson stands up abruptly. I look to see that he is still looking at her up and down assessing my woman. I clench my fist.
"Hello Heather, my name is Craig Talson. Please call me Craig." He says attempting to kiss the back of her hand. She quickly takes away her hand and gives him a forced smile.
"It's nice to meet you as well Mr. Talson." I smirk seeing his face fall. "I apologize gentlemen however I have to get back to a friend. Please have a wonderful evening." She says giving a soft smile. I quickly wrap my arm around her waist and pull her back to me. She hugs me and I feel my muscles relax while I allow her lovely scent to envelop me.
"That wasn't very nice sweetheart however I thoroughly enjoyed the show." I whisper huskily into her ear feeling her shiver under my voice. I smirk against her ear.
"I'm glad... It was only for you." She whispers while kissing my earlobe causing me to tighten my grip slightly. Damn... She gives me one more kiss which I groan at when she pulls away. She turns her head and nods towards the gentlemen before walking back towards the bar where I see Cami grinning at her.
"Intriguing woman you have there Xavier." I look back at Mr. Wilks who is smrking.
"Yes, I agree."

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
