Brother...

What a soothing word...

Ever had the feeling when one of your arch enemies gets trashed or slashed out, that's the feeling I'm getting right now. This whole blasted time I was worried over nothing.

Instead I should be grateful to Noah to being there for her at the club when I was too busy getting jealous.

My heart seems to at peace even in the chaotic sibling war going on in my car. My body relaxed with sweet melodies of Shana and Noah shouting simultaneously.

Oh how I love them fighting. They're like the best sibling duo I've ever met. Now my life would never cease of entertainment.....

"You didn't told her to stop. Did you!?" Shana yelled at her brother.

"Why should I?" Noah replied dumbly.

"Cause that means you are interfering in someone's private life illegally. That's not good!?" She yelled once again losing her absolute temper.

I'm getting the vibes here that as the older one I should stand out peace, so here goes nothing...

"Which one of you is older?" I asked calmly, I already know the answer but what's the harm in starting out conversation.

"I am."

"Me."

They both said simultaneously, okay not a good idea after all.

"You doofus I'm 24, I'm literally two years older than you!? What the heck!"

"You two don't look like siblings." I asked again.

"Yeah cause sis has mom's looks and I have somewhat of both. That's why. Oh! And I'm the handsome one and she's ugly so maybe that's why." Noah's chirped voice came from behind.

"I beg to differ." I retorted looking at Shana. She blushed making my heart all gooey inside. Never have I ever felt such a strong desire to kiss someone senseless. Shana brings out the best of me. I could never imagine myself having a conversation with anyone else like I'm having with Noah, and that's all due to the beautiful angel sitting beside me, my girlfriend, Shana.

She's finally mine to conquer.

I averted my eyes back to the road as a gagging sound came from behind,

"I swear if you both don't stop right now, I'll vomit all our your expensive leather seats."

Shana threw him a glare before turning back.

I still can't believe that I Xavier Damon King is in a relationship.

RELATIONSHIP.

On top of that

In love.

I'm royally f*cked .

•

I pulled up the car infront of Shana's apartment as Noah jumped out of the car and lazily walked into the building.

Shana and I also got off the car. Standing facing each other. My hand in my trousers pocket and her's clutching her clutch tightly. Someone's nervous. I masked my smirk completely.

"Thanks for the ride." She said lowly.

"It wasn't free."

"It wasn't??" She asked confusedly.

I smirked. Her eyes widened just a millimetre. That's was all needed to know that she was freaking out inside.

"No. I want my good night kiss before I depart as my fare. "

"Ķi-kiss?"

"You know when two persons show each other their affection by moving their lips together while touching and sometimes the tongue also get involved for furt-"

"I know what a kiss is!!" She replied turning tomato red due to embarrassment, this is interesting.

"You do? Then hurry up Ms. Rajput, I hate tardiness." I replied keeping my face straight, but I was enjoying this too much, not so composed Shana afterall.

"But what if someone got it pictured? There will be a huge scandal if this got out. And there will be paparazzi and media all over you, and what about your-"

I cut her off by pulling her to me by waist and slamming my lips on hers, silencing her with actions, moving my lips fast and hard trying to send my message to her that I love her even if she doesn't know that now. She has somehow become very important to me.

I parted as I stared into her eyes and asked.

"Do I look like I give a f*ck?"

"No...." she looked at me shocked and scared like a bunny rabbit. Gosh I just want to protect her...

"Exactly. And I'm going to show off to the world that I have finally found someone who I care for deeply. So now can I get my goodnight kiss?"

"But you just did." She asked confusedly. My sexy....

"Baby that was me kissing you, for it to be a goodnight kiss you would have to initiate it." I smirked at her.

"Oh.."

"Yeah."

Her breathing intensified as she slowly trailed her one hand behind my neck and second one on my chest, igniting fire in me, unlocking darkest parts of my desires but I waited. Waited for her.

She hesitantly but surely closed in towards me as her lily smell enveloped me in her trance, she smelled divine.

I traced circles on her waist with my thumb soothingly to calm her somewhat, but she shivered in delight, I had to suppress myself from slamming her against the car to ravish her thoroughly.

And finally her luscious cherry red lips rested on mine. Completely still, before she started moving them slowly as mine did the same in synchronize, our kiss nothing like the ones we had before,this was somewhat gentle, pure, innocent, something more meaningful glinting in it, her hand doing wonders with my hair, she moaned in between as something else of mine awakened. her kiss almost conveyed me like she was showing how much she loved me. Almost. my hands slightly trembling not believing that she is actually with me right now, kissing me on her own consent and not because I threatened her but because she wanted to.

I moved my hand on her neck keeping her still intact as we done wonders with our lips devouring each other. Finding pride in pleasuring each other. This was something new. Never I thought I would actually get turned on to this extent just by a soft soothing kiss, I F*ck. Hard. Yet somehow a picture of making love come into my mind when I think about this woman in my arms.

Her lips slowed there pace even more at the end before detaching with a pluck, I opened my eyes to see hers closed still relishing the memory, the feeling, the fire. Hot yet cold.

Finally she opened her beautiful hazel-green eyes that reminds me so much of a ethereal stature forest, just like in mythological stories. Her eyes showing affection and passion and a tinge little bit of...........love?

"Good night Xavier." She said slowly, her voice like music to my ears.

"Good night.....Shana." I said taking her in.

Her skin glowing from the mild street light falling on her face, her eyes staring into mine, melting into one. Her hairs accidentally ending up with few tendrils on her forehead and most

importantly those slightly swollen lips that devoured mine not just a second ago.

She slowly retreated towards her apartment building entrance, her back to me, teasing and alluring me to go behind her. But I can't. I have to take things slow.

So I slowly turned and got into my car before starting to drive again to get back at my penthouse. I need a shower.

A cold one.

•

I woke up, showered, got ready and ordered breakfast from room service, wearing the titan watch and gold cufflinks with my Armani suit.

Getting into my car I speeded to my company, I'm in good mood today in a very long time. Whistling I Pulled at the entrance, I passed the keys to the valet

and strided inside, my shoes clicking against the floor as everyone started greeting me.

Then I saw her standing beside the receptionist smiling and talking as my heart picked up pace, she's wearing black pencil skirt with burgandy blouse complementing her every curve, her hair tied flowing on her back, her endless legs looking even longer in her heels, smiling I strided towards her to hold her,

She turned to look at in my direction as her beautiful hazel-green eyes widened in shock and she went into panic mode, she stepped back involuntary as my eyebrows furrowed due to her sudden backing. Suppressing the hurting feeling, I greeted her smiling,

"Good morning bab-"

"Good morning Mr. King!" She squeaked before I could complete my sentence, my heart constricting painfully in my chest, why is she calling me Mr. King?? does she want to end things? They didn't even started yet properly. I stared into her eyes neutrally. Suddenly behind me I heard gasps and crashing sounds of all kind, i turned around to look everyone standing with their mouths hanging and a female employee was on her butt on the ground with documents scattered everywhere, a man's coffee cup smashed on the floor.

Why is everyone reacting so weird? Is there something on my face?

"Mr. King are you alright? Should I call a doctor?" Ana asked hesitantly, her face showing confusion.

"No. Why?"

"S-sir you greeted Ms. Rajput. Y-you Never Ever greet any-anyone, on top of that you greeted her f-first." She stuttered.

"Nonsense. I do greet people." I said upholding for my manners and stared at Shana for her support.

"Actually.......you don't. Sir. " Shana replied back

No. I do greet people. Don't I?

"Okay everybody back to work. Stop wasting time. You there get this mess cleaned up and you help her." I said pointing at two of my employees to help the female employee on the floor and other to get the coffee cleaned up.

"Yes Mr. King. " answered the employees before scattering away for their respective works.

"You're coming with me." I said before grabbing Shana's wrist and dragging her to the private elevators and shoving her inside as the door closed behind me with a dinge.

She stepped back as I stepped forward, her back hitting the elevator wall.

"X-Xavier?" She stuttered.

"Oh now I'm back to Xavier? What was that in the entrance. I didn't liked it Shana. Why did you get away from me and acted like there is nothing between us?" I asked slowly.

"I-I didn't m-mean to hurt y-you. Sorry. I-its just that I don't w-want others to know about o-our relationship and t-think that I'm getting privileges d-due to it." She stuttered again trying to clear things. I softly touched her right cheek, as she leaned into my touch, I stared into her eyes for confirmation, her eyes showing nothing but truth.

"That's it." I asked.

"I swear."

"So you don't regret anything right?" I asked again hesitantly.

"No.....you're the best thing that ever happened to me." She said as she softly clutched my waistcoat in her tiny hands. My heart thudding into my ribcage. The woman I love don't regret being with me.

"Thank you for coming into my life." I said slowly before resting my lips on her in a soft tender kiss. She reciprocated just as fast as I felt her smile. I grabbed her waist tightly enough not to hurt her but to prevent her from collapsing, as she slightly trembled under me.

Our kiss becoming more and more hungry with passing seconds, I sucked her lower lip hard asking for entrance as she slightly parted her lips slowly, my tongue darted into her mouth, clashing, battling and mingling with her tongue, marking my territory. She fighted for dominance but gave up at last, giving me pleasure to devour her.

My hand on her neck leading her, her hands around my shoulders gripping hard.

I trailed kisses along her jaw as she moaned in response, my pants getting tighter, I sucked and bit on her neck leaving her into a moaning mess. Her moans filling the elevator making me so turned on. I just want to take her right there, I slowly trailed my lips behind her earlobe, leaving wet kisses leaving her shuddering and shivering, my hands leaning down to her ass gripping hard as she gasped in return,

Smirking I silenced her by smashing my lips to her once again........

"OH MY GOD?!"

we heard someone squeal behind, Shana jumped away from me in reflex as i turned back to see the elevators open with a shocked and hyperventilating Catherine standing outside with wide eyes.

I winked at her and grabbed Shana's hand softly while leading her out of the elevator, later turning beetroot red due to embarrassment, women. Her eyes everywhere instead at Catherine.

"I knew it. I knew it. I f*cking knew it. You did it. You did it. You did it. Oh my God?!" Catherine squealed again while doing her little dance, I stared her in amusement trying to suppress the chuckle threatening to escape due to the drama infront of me.

Shana left my hand and stood beside me embarrassed.

"You two are together. Aren't you?

"I-I....I mean, w-we. Yes." Shana sighed finally answering.

"When you two are done. Catherine arrange the meeting room for the European investors and.......baby come to my office with my black coffee. Alright?" I asked leaning closer to Shana's face just mere inches away from her lips. She's is losing her composure lot nowadays. I wonder what's the matter?

She opened her mouth then closed it again, no sound coming out, so she finally nodded. I smiled before retrieving back and going into the direction of my office.

Today is going to be interesting.

•

A knock resonated at my door before it clicked open as Shana entered with a coffee and documents in her hands, I smiled at her, she smiled back.

"Your coffee." She said placing the coffee on my desk with the documents beside it. She stepped back with my schedule in her hands ready to recite it...

"Baby come here." I pointed my finger to her.

"Why?" She asked confusedly while coming beside me.

I grabbed her wrist and she landed on my lap, her eyes widened with shock as she tried to wiggle to stand up. I groaned,

"Don't. Or I'll bend you over right now over my desk and we don't want Catherine to come in. Do we?" She stopped fighting and settled comfortably on my lap.

"Xavier this is highly unprofessional, God I can't believe I'm doing this." She said in a selective voice..

"Why don't you tell me my schedule?" I said circling my arms around her and kissing her neck softly with wet kisses.

"O-okay, you have a b-business meeting with European c-contractors in another fifteen m-minutes that is on 10AM, then you h-have a field in-inspection for the c-construction of your hotel at 2PM after the l-lunch, then you have to c-carry out your work here in the o-office from 4Pm to 6 PM."

"That's all." I Murmured against her skin.

"Yeahhh..." she moaned softly.

"Fifteen minutes will be sufficient." I said and leaned back to look at her.

"For what?"

"For answering my questions. And if you don't answer I have other methods to get them out of you." She gulped slowly before nodding...

"Why did you leave me at Maldives and not stayed behind?" I asked expectantly.

"I was scared Xavier and I did all that in the spur of moment, I was sad. I needed someone to help me forget the sorrow even if it was just for one night. And we had the returning flight at 10am on the same day. I'm sorry I should have confronted you." Her eyes showing real sadness and regret, and I cursed myself for it.

"Why were you sad?"

"I-I....was s-sad...-" she stumbled for an answer desperately.

"Was it because you had a breakup with someone?" I asked throwing a general situation.

She stared into my eyes for sometime before answering timidly "yeah."

"But I don't regret anything now." She said hastily while pecking my lips. I smiled in return,

"What does pagal mean? The other day at your apartment Noah was calling you pagal." Okay call me delusional but I'm just asking.

"Huh? It means stupid." I blinked. Oh. They were lashing at that time also. Nice to know.

"What about the time when Noah said that he kept you awake all night?"

"We had a movie marathon that night. Even samantha was there." Okay.

"Ms. Smith? You know her?"

"Yes. She's a friend of Noah."

"What about date with Stephano, did something happened, did he touched you? Tell me he didn't. " I asked in a deadly voice, the mere thought left my blood boiling as my grip on Shana tightened.

"Why Mr. King? Are you jealous." She asked smirking.

I kissed her roughly and hard leaving her panting furiously for air.

"Yes I'm very possessive man. I don't share what's mine."

"No...he didn't touched me....I didn't even had dinner...... before Noah.... started calling me...... and I dashed from...... there to help him. " she panted in between, a sudden relief spreaded into me. He didn't touched her.

"What about that girlfriend of yours Angelina Ruth!" She accused back. I smirked.

"What about her?" I asked innocently.

"Don't play with me right now. I swear if you see her again...." she threatened her eyes blazing with fire. She's looking so hot right now.

"She's nothing to me." I said seriously and truthfully. She stared into my eyes for sometime before nodding slowly.

"I'm sorry baby. I called you names. I shouldn't have insulted you like that.

Please forgive me." I apologized sincerely. Her eyes darkened suddenly. Now this is the Shana I'm scared of. I maintained eye contact with her while she stared into my soul. She is a very headstrong woman. A very decisive one.

"About your first time, apology accepted........but xavier always remember the warning, the second time there won't be mere slaps. I'm a prideful woman, neither have I ever let anyone insult me in past and I won't allow it in future too." She said not once her eyes flickering. I stared into her eyes with determination.
