LOGINIris's Pov.I spent the whole evening with Iris. I didn't want her to feel alone as she wasn't feeling okay. We stayed in the living room most of the time and I did my best to make sure she was comfortable.When it got dark out, signaling that it was time for bed, I carried her to the bedroom as she was half asleep. I carefully put her down on the mattress which caused her to stir. I sat down beside her as she lay on her side. My hand caressed her hair, feeling the silky touch between my fingers.“Do you want to take a quick bath before bed?” I asked her.She nodded and looked up at me with a soft smile. I leaned down to kiss her before walking into the adjoining bathroom where I sat on the edge of the tub to start filling it up. When I turned my head towards the door, I saw her walking inside in only her underwear.My eyes drifted across her smooth skin, lingering on her wide hips a few seconds longer. I smiled when she stepped closer to stand between my widened legs. She still looke
Iris's Pov.I tilted my head back up, smiling up at Xander as he stood opposite me by the edge of the bathtub. He still had his button-up shirt and dress pants on. His handsome features made it hard for me not to jump him at that moment. Parts of his hair rested on his forehead.“You want to join me?” I asked.He smiled and I watched as his eyes dropped to my almost bare chest and his jaw clenched.“You're naked.” He mumbled.My eyes moved across his muscled body.“I am,” I said in a soft tone.He hummed and to my surprise, he started undressing. I watched him intently as he took off his shirt, pants, shoes, even his boxer briefs. The sight of his cock made my pussy clench. It had been a while since I've had him inside me and I was fucking craving him.“A picture will last longer.” He teased me.I looked away and saw from the corner of my eye that he slid down inside the tub, sitting opposite me. The water didn't even reach his chest. He exhaled deeply and lifted his arms to rest on t
Xander's POV.It was that time of the year when I went to stake out potential clients and impending income and there was no way I was leaving without taking Iris with me. This time, my destination was Russia.Iris slept the entire flight, curled up in her seat. Her pink lips parted as she breathed in and out peacefully. I, on the other hand, had my laptop on my lap. I still had some work to do. We were going to be staying at one of the hotels just outside the city.Angelo wasn't with us because I wanted him to find information about the connection between Iris's father and the men who were after his family. Her dad however, seemed to have covered his tracks very well. All we know is that he owes them money which could mean a lot of things. I had met with him eagerly after Iris told me that he wanted to speak with me the other day thinking he finally wanted to tell me about this. Turns out he wanted to confirm my intentions for his daughter.Sigh.I heard a tired groan from behind the
Iris's Pov.“Tell me, darling, how's Xander treating you?” She asked, suddenly changing the subject before I could as she took a sip of her drink.“He's treating me very well. I couldn't be happier with anybody else.” I said, smiling sheepishly.“That's good. And you tell me if he treats you with anything but respect, okay?” She said in a serious tone, taking another sip of her drink. I chuckled slightly, nodding my head.“I must be honest though, when I saw you at the dinner in New York, I was shocked.”I frowned.“Shocked?” I asked and she nodded.“From what I gathered about Xander after he came into our lives, he didn't seem the type to show any serious interest in a woman let alone bringing her to our usual family dinners.I quite honestly feared that he would never settle down. That he would never experience the joy of falling in love. But I see the way he looks at you and I don't have that fear anymore.” She smiled, gesturing her fingers towards me.“How?” I asked. Even though I
Iris'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.Xander was already reaching for the gun beneath his seat, one hand on the wheel. He fired once out the window but it was far from enough.“Take this.” He said, thrusting the gun into my lap.“Iris, shoot.”My hands froze.“I can't! I can't shoot at a moving vehicle.”“I know what you ca
Xander's POV.She immediately did what I said, lowering herself down on her knees. Just the sight was enough to make my cock twitch in my hand. She was looking up at me through her lashes, looking almost eager for what was coming.I tilted my head to the side while I let my gaze take in every centi
Xander's POV.The club hit me like a punch, bass shaking the floor, lights flashing like warning sirens, bodies pressed too close, too loud, too much. And in the middle of it, like a spark waiting to catch fire, there she was.Iris.Moving through the crowd as she owned it. It reminded me of the ve
Xander's POV.The year I turned eighteen, I didn't get a birthday cake, instead, I got blood under my fingernails and a man's thumb rolling across a butcher's floor.A day where a normal person who just turned eighteen would be out popping bottles, taking shitty shots of bottom shelf tequila, stumb
