Mayor’s POV:She ran into my arms, wrapping her hands around me and tugging her face against my chest. I held my breath for a moment so I wouldn’t scare her. It was something I’d never felt before. As much as I have craved this day, the fear that it was a dream was making me worry.If it indeed was a dream, didn’t want to wake up from it. The scent of her hair was slowly intoxicating me. Her warm body in my embrace gave me chills down my spine. It was this moment when I felt like crashing my lips against hers, but I didn’t even hug her back for a moment. I was too scared to do that. I didn’t want to alarm her with my touch.It was like having a bird that flew away and sat down on a tea branch. One could see her, but making a move would alarm her into flying away. You want to touch her, but the situation is so fragile that all you can do is sit nearby and watch her. Phoenix was that bird for me. I didn’t want to scare her, but I had to get her closer, so I lightly pulled my arms around

I was annoyed with him for not telling me exactly what he had been doing to that poor boy.“Xavier,” I yelled in annoyance, making him let out a sigh and understand I wasn’t in a playful mood anymore.“Fine,” he rolled his eyes, getting up and placing the pen and the sandwich away at the same time, “he got what he deserved.” I heard him say.“Really? then I deserve the worst punishment too, from you.” I knew he would say that I’d already gotten my punishment. So I added the next two words for him.“You know I will never do that.” The beast in him showed up. I backed off a bit but then straightened my back again.“So you are not a good mayor who thinks everybody deserves the same punishment then,” I questioned him, not backing away and keep looking in his eyes.“Phoenix! You are asking something from me that I can never do. No matter how much you poke me around, I will never lay a finger on you,” he grunted, sounding sad that I was demanding that from him.“I’m telling Jace to set him

My chest tightened, and my breaths became increasingly louder. I couldn’t seem to shake that incident from my mind. I was watching the sight of the house get clear as I kept walking in its direction."Hey, Phoenix!" I was startled by the cheery greeting from one of the neighbors. They used to complain about me all the time, and now they are talking to me. However, they were not a part of that incident, and I know they have never liked me."Aww, you look so beautiful," the wife faked a sweet tone when watching me. She was obviously faking it now for some reason."How are you feeling now?" the lady continued to ask me, making me wonder what she was up to now."I am good," I mumbled, trying to avoid having eye contact with them. I wasn’t ashamed or guilty of anything, but just looking at them was a reminder of everything that happened the other night."I’m so glad you decided to come back." Her husband followed in her footsteps, acting all phony. I frowned, looking at their fake sweetnes

"You’ll join us at the dinner table tonight," he still didn’t answer me. In fact, he invited me for a dinner with everyone and walked away. I had no idea why he was dodging the question, but then again, sitting around a table with Miranda and Jace wasn’t a good idea at all. Xavier has to be planning something.Caring less about the people I was going to tolerate at the dinner table and more about my presence, I picked up a dress from the three dresses Xavier has sent me for the dinner.I walked down the staircase, looking at them as they stared back at me while already being seated.I could see the glow on Xavier’s face and the affection in Jaces’s smile. They both kept looking at me, making me trip one too many times."Here," Xavier cut off Jace’s words in the mid-way as Jace was about to offer me a seat with him. I was not going to sit with Jace, no matter what. He had been inappropriate with me, and I have not forgiven him for that. Xavier was sitting on the head chair while Jace w

I closed my eyes when a tingling sensation warmed my body as his soft lips pressed against mine. It took us a minute to respond again. Slowly feeling each other’s touch, we deepened our kiss. Parting his lips from mine for a moment before he sucked my lower lip as I sucked his upper lip passionately. It was a matter of time before I grabbed his coat and pulled him even close than before. He swiftly clasped his hands around my butt, fondling my ass in his hands. I moaned, feeling his touch. His one hand caressed my cheek as his tongue demanded an entry. I gave him pleasure back by sucking his tongue. Our bodies had started to heat up, and that’s when I realized that if I didn’t stop right now, we would break all the limits between us. I broke the kiss while not pulling entirely away from him. "What happened?" he asked me, breathing profusely. We were just staring at each other’s lips."I think we should slow down," I replied, my eyes traveling down to see the rise and fall of his che
