LOGINIris's Pov.The dress I held up in front of me was perfect for dinner with Xander's family. It looked formal but also had a casual vibe to it. I matched it with black heels which resulted in an all-black outfit.The dress was made of black satin with thin shoulder straps, the bottom going diagonally right over my knees.Xander had bought me several dresses but this one was not bought with his money and I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he saw me in it. Personally, I absolutely loved the dress. It was a gift from my mother from her trip.I changed into the dress after doing light makeup. Xander should be here any second and I didn't want to make him wait for too long. After our little ...session earlier, he had to leave again for another meeting. He was a very busy man but I found it hard to notice because he always made time for me in one way or the other.My parents were not home yet and I patiently waited for Xander to come pick me up. Even though I had met them befor
Iris's Pov.A couple of hours later, I was home alone. My parents mentioned attending an outdoor functionand Julian was out of the house too. I called Xander as soon as everyone was away to pass my father's message but he didn't pick up.The weather was perfect today and I was planning on soaking up every single ray of sunshine.We had a pool at the back of the house and I was currently sunbathing on one of the sun loungers.After a while, I felt the need for a cold glass of water and walked into the kitchen.I was standing by the counter, picking out a glass when I suddenly felt a smack on my ass. I squealed in fear and surprise. When I turned around, I saw Xander standing there in all his glory. He was wearing casual clothes, looking as handsome as ever.“You scared the shit out of me,” I muttered and he stepped closer, his hand still on my ass, caressing the bare skin.“You look absolutely sexy in this, baby.” He said as his fingers grazed over the hem of my bikini.“Always horny,
Iris's Pov.“Nice try, lady. Nice try.” Xander said as he handed me a water bottle and watched as I drank almost the whole thing. I exhaled heavily as I swallowed before giving it back to him.He walked to the mat again and told me to follow him, so I did.“Alright. I'll teach you a couple of basic fighting techniques and we'll practice together, alright?”I nodded and he started showing me a couple of punches and ways to block them off. He was quite fast so it was hard to follow but I tried to do my best.“No, raise your elbow.”“I am.”He sighed and walked to stand behind me. He took hold of my waist while the other hand raised my elbow as I held my fists in front of my face.His breath on my neck sent a shiver down my body. He chuckled when he noticed. I felt him press his body closer against my back and I tensed.Can he just fucking focus?!I gasped when his hand played with the hem of my shorts and slowly made its way into them, grazing over my pussy.“Is something wrong?” He ask
Iris's Pov.Right after we had showered, we both went to bed. It was late, about two am. I pulled the duvet over my body. I had one of his shirts on as usual. It was comforting even if he was right beside me all night. I just loved the way his shirts smelled.I felt the bed dip behind me and two strong arms pulling me back. One of his arms wrapped around my stomach, intertwining with my fingers while the other one was under my head. He nestled his face in my neck, inhaling.“I fucking love how you smell.” He mumbled, making me smile.“Remind me again how I smell?” I asked, chuckling.“Like a garden full of flowers.” He muttered in a sleepy voice.I kissed his hand as his breathing slowed down. My eyes closed, falling to sleep as well.~~~The rays of the sun shining through the windows woke me up the next morning. I groaned and turned around, seeing a sprawled-out Xander, still asleep. He was lying on his back, his muscular chest on full display.He was so handsome. Actually, he was e
Iris's Pov.“I will kill him,” Xander stated, turning to me.My eyes widened.“What? No. That's—”“I'll kill anyone who ever dares to lay a finger on you.” He walked closer, cupping my cheeks.“You can't just keep killing people, Xander. Maybe Ethan deserved what he got but I don't want to live such a life anymore.” I said as I lifted my hands to hold his arms. I stood on my toes to kiss his lips and I felt him relax against me. His lips moved to my neck and the feeling of his tongue on my skin made me want to ride him into oblivion. My hands lowered to cup his growing bulge.I gave it a gentle squeeze and his breathing started getting heavier. I had him right where I wanted.Xander was a dominant man but I want to make him fall on his knees for me by taking control.“You like it when I do that?” I whispered.His jaw clenched and I heard an animalistic growl erupt from his chest. His eyes darkened and his lips parted.“You…”His words drifted away and I chuckled.“What? You were so re
Iris's Pov.The host's house was right by the beach, so the party was kind of like a beach party. It was ten pm, and I was sitting by the bonfire, chatting with some of the people from Emilia's clique. I had missed this, actually talking and having fun with people my age.“I'm going to get another drink,” I said as I stood up and made my way to the table where the drinks were. But the kind I wanted wasn't there. It was all gone.“Seriously? Ughh!” I sighed in exasperation.I looked up at the house, pretty sure there should still be some in the kitchen or somewhere in the house. I walked up the stone path to the back of the house and walked in through the open back door.It was dark, but enough light from the sunset to see where I was going and I easily found the kitchen.I stopped in my tracks when I saw a guy standing by the counter, drinking a beer. I immediately recognized him. It was Jake, one of Ethan's friends.His gaze raised when he heard me walk closer. I had never spoken to
Xander's POV.Those words stuck like daggers in my heart, making it beat even harder and breaking down the walls I'd built for years. I was having a hard time believing that she meant it.She doesn't know what she's saying.But now that those words were sealed in my head, I was burning even more wi
Iris's Pov.His fingers dug into my skin, testing my limits, or maybe his. I wasn't sure. He wanted me to scream, to push him away but I couldn't do that. I stayed and took everything he gave me. I was on the verge of passing out when his grip loosened, forcing me forward to meet his lips with mine
Xander's POV“Can I see Courtney?” She asked when she realized I wasn't going to answer her question. I was just too busy staring at her. Iris Paige was easily one of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on. “I want to see that she's alive and safe.”“She is.” At least for now. “But she's n
Iris's PovJust like I suspected, he read through my nonsense, inching closer, gripping my chin with force with his fingers. “Do you want to test that theory?” He shook his head sideways, the smirk still playing on his face. “A little game? What do you say?”“I'm done playing games with you, Xander
