XANDER POV I don't know if what Sky was saying was true, but I imagined my life like this in ten years, and increasingly with her.I married Federico when I was twenty-two.Mom said looking at Dad, smiling, and I don't regret anything we've built—Mom looked at me.I'm glad you're finally with someone, she said—Always alone and at work, it's exhausting—She said.I just smiled at her."Thanks, Mom," I said, and she smiled warmly again. Little Harper made a noise, and we all laughed."How old is she?" Sky asked Liliana."Eighteen months," she said, smiling. She picked up little Harper and started playing with her."Eighteen months without scoring another champ," I told Arthur, and he frowned at me. Dad laughed across the table."Not all of us have our dicks out all day," Arthur snapped from beside Liliana.Sky was blushing more and more.Not those topics at the table, Mom snapped, and Dad laughed."Well, now you're like me, Arthur," Dad snapped, and Mom hit him before he burst out la
SKYLAR POV Sam and I had gone to our favorite restaurant for breakfast. The waitress already knew us, so when we arrived, she took our order and we immediately had breakfast."I have no idea what to wear, Sam," I told her as I brought my coffee to my lips, She smiled.I wish all the problems in the world were not knowing what to wear to your boyfriend's parents' house.Why, is he already your boyfriend? She asked "We have a date tonight," I told her."Well, we'll have to celebrate," she said."Let's go shopping so you can pick out a cute outfit for the family meal."I rolled my eyes at that, I was pretty nervous. I didn't think this would happen so fast, and meeting Xander's parents was fucking terrifying. I had no idea what their house would be like, or what they would be like, if they'd be the typical stuck-up kids or if they'd be lovely people. I also didn't overlook the fact of my age, or they'd look at me the same way Arthur had looked at me that night. Like they saw a ch
SKYLAR POV My head was spinning, the room was spinning, and I didn't even know what had happened last night after I arrived at the club with Sam. I just knew I missed Xander.Strong arms wrapped around my body, and I'd slept with someone. When I opened my eyes, I knew who was beside me. Xander. I turned to find him sleeping peacefully.Slowly, as if sensing that I had woken up, he opened his sky-blue eyes and stared at me."Good morning," he whispered in a raspy voice. Damn, why did he have to be so perfect at everything?Hi, I greeted him.What happened last night? I asked and he laughed."I think you forgave me," he whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear."Did I do anything stupid?" He shook his head.You just admitted to me that you were falling in love with me, he said, and from his reaction, I assumed my face should have been panting—Relax, me too, Sky.He whispered and my breathing relaxed a little.He was falling in love with me and I was falling in love with
XANDER POV After getting out of the shower, I put on some comfortable clothes. It was getting late, and I still hadn't had any dinner, so reluctantly, I went down to the kitchen. When I got there, Sky was on the couch reading the book Arthur had pointed out earlier. Her gaze shifted to me as I made myself something quick, and I sat down on the couch across from her. I hadn't sat on these chairs in months, and I hadn't even turned on the TV since I moved in.I didn't miss the detail that Sky had changed her clothes; she was no longer wearing my T-shirt, nor was her underwear visible. She was wearing a tracksuit and a sweatshirt, and judging by the folds underneath her clothes, she wasn't wearing the lingerie she'd put on for me earlier."Is everything okay?" I asked, sitting down as I rolled the table to reach my plate. She nodded as she continued reading.Sorry, I went to the gym and I forgot the time—I told her.Have you had dinner?She nodded again while her gaze remained fix
XANDER POV The Maserati wheels squealed as it sped out of the parking lot. Arthur's visit had thrown me off; I hadn't been expecting it. It was already getting dark, but I was going to the gym. I could go to the one in my building, but I needed to unwind, to forget about everything, to forget about Skylar I accelerated, exceeding the posted speed limit, listening to the honking of other cars, but I ignored them. I needed to feel something, to feel it again.A few minutes later, I arrived at the gym I'd joined over a year ago. I didn't even go. I had one in the building, and the room was rather shabby, but it was there. Still, I'd used it several times to fuck girls. As I walked in, I felt the receptionist's usual stare, I ignored her and went straight to the boxing room. I started hitting the heavy bag with all the technique and strength I could muster at the moment. Skylar was driving me crazy, and I'd admitted it to Arthur something I hadn't even been able to admit to my
SKYLAR POV It was Tuesday, and I was fucking tired.I'd rested for a few days, but between the move and Xander, I was exhausted. I loved the way he touched me, his hands on my body, even the marks he left on me, but every time we fucked, I was destroyed. It was already afternoon. He'd gone to the office that morning, and I'd stayed at his house, finishing arranging my room after a hectic wake-up call.When he told me I was moving, I was quite surprised. I thought he would give me an apartment or something, but when he told me I would be living under his roof, I was quite surprised.But to be honest, I didn't mind it. I had someone to talk to when he came home from work, and the sex was incredible. It was also a huge penthouse with enough room for two whole families, and I can only imagine what it's like to live alone here. Besides, he traveled a lot for work, so I was alone most of the time.When he got home from work, he asked me to shower with him. The bathtub was incredibl
