43. 3:19 AM
...Xavier POV...
I woke up during the middle of the night as I hear Lexi call out to me. I look over to my bed side table in attempt to see what time it is.
"3:19am? What the hell? What is she doing up at this time of night?" I say to myself.
"Major." I hear her call out to me.
'What in the world? What's going on? Why is she calling for me, when she knows that I'm in bed.' I think to myself.
I get up from bed, and follow her voice as I continue to hear her call out to me. Her voice seems distant. As though she's in the far end of the house. I grab my phone as I begin to search for her. I call the first person on my mind.
"Damian!" I yell into the phone.
"Sir?" I can hear Damian's tired voice on the other end of the phone. I can tell I must've just woken him up.
"I need you to check the camera feeds right now. I need you to tell me where Lexi is."

...Xavier POV...It's barely been 24 hours since Lexi's late night battle, but already I'm finding time to go by so slowly. Without her, it's like time is standing still. In a brutal and agonizing way. I'm anxiously waiting for the next 24 hours to go by, in hopes that she will come back to me.I'm sitting at her side, looking down at her. She looks so fragile. Her skin has lost colour from her extreme blood loss, and bruises have already begun to form all over her body. I find myself cursing her appearance. I've always seen her as a delicate, yet strong woman. I love the passion and ferocity that flows within her. Seeing her like this, completely shatters me. The thing that I hate most, is knowing that I wasn't there to protect her.I've talked to psychiatrists and psychologists on their views of the matter. I became really intrigued with this one psychologist. Dr Jeremy Bradsaw has majored in cases like Lexi's, where a person sudde

I wake up early the next morning, only to find that Xavier isn't there. I call out to him, hoping that he'll respond."Major?"No response. I try calling for him once again."Major?"Once again no response. I sigh, figuring that he must be at work, or in his office, or just busy. I attempt to sit up, as I look around the room. I can feel my side begin to throb, and I gasp out in pain."Little Bear? What are you doing? You need to rest!" I hear Xavier's frantic voice as he approaches the bed.He reaches over, and makes me comfortable. He sets me in a makeshift sitting position, using a bunch of pillows. Careful not to disturb my stitches, nor my ribs."Sorry. I was looking for you. I didn't know where you went." I say once my side begins to calm down.Xavier sits on the bed beside me."I'm sorry Little Bear. I didn't think you would be awake already. I went and made you
Rising From the Ashes 46. Surprise
Unexpectedly, Xavier bursts into the room an hour later. I try to smile, but part of me is broken. It's as though it is nearly impossible to smile.Xavier doesn't let that affect him. Rather he pulls up a wheel chair, and carefully picks me up, setting me down gently into the chair."What? What are you doing? What about what Dr Lawson said? I'm supposed to be on bed rest for a couple more days at least."I say, confused at what is going on."Well, I talked to Dr Lawson after you phoned me, and she told me that I can take you for a surprise."Xavier says, as he kneels down to look at me, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead."What? Are you sure? That doesn't sound like something she would say." I counter."That's true. She didn't quite say that."Xavier says, his tone beginning to get a bit more serious."Jax and Elena will be with us, and Dr Lawson gave me a list of things to look for to
Rising From the Ashes 47. Panic
I wake up slightly groggy from the past events. I rub my eyes, removing any evidence of sleep. I look around me, only to see that I don't recognize where I am. I'm laying on a bed, of what appears to be in an airplane? But that's not possible. None of this makes any sense.My mind begins to run rapid. Instantly I wonder how I got here. The first thing that plagues my mind is Craig and Gary.'Did they manage to find me somehow? What if they had another tracker inside of me? What if they've been watching this entire time?' I begin to think to myself. The air becoming thicker, the more my thoughts begin to run.'Where's Xavier? Did they hurt him? What if he's dead? What if they killed him?' The idea of losing Xavier becomes too much. I sit up, grimacing from the pain. But I don't care. I try to lean over, in order to make it easier for my lungs to fill with the much needed oxygen that they're being deprived of. I begin to gasp, no longer able to get enough ai
Rising From the Ashes 48. The Good, Bad, and Ugly
...Two Months Later...The past two months went by smoothly. Jax quickly turned into one of my trusted confidants. He would surprise me before picking me up to take me to work with my favourite latte in hand. When I was having a bad day, or just needed an escape, he would take me to some of his favourite places. He took me to an outdoor mini putt, bowling, the movies, even paint ball. I never got a chance to do any of these things when I was younger, so it was like I was a kid all over again. Getting the childhood that I deserved. I felt free for the first time in my life. I loved trying all these new things. Occasionally Xavier would join us on some of the outings.My favourite time was always the weekends though. As promised, Xavier gave me every weekend off, including Fridays. Fridays were typically spent with Jax, as he got me to try new things. In a way it was like a play date. Nothing romantic, just fun. Each Friday Jax would plan something
Rising From the Ashes 49. Love Bite
An hour later, I feel myself waking up. New found energy taking over. I turn over, and find Xavier still there. He hasn't moved since he started laying with me. Intent on making sure I'm ok. I reach over and move a piece of hair that is blocking his face. I lean in closer and kiss him. He backs away slightly to analyze me. Making sure I'm truly ok. I smile at his adorable reaction, and take the initiative to move closer to him once more. This time, rolling him over, as I lay across him, kissing him.Realizing I'm not made of glass, Xavier begins to answer my kisses. I reach lower, and grab the material of his shirt. Slowly moving it up, exposing his perfect muscles. Transfixed, I stare at him, as his muscles constrict and tighten as he begins to tense up. I move my hand slowly up his toned torso. My fingers delicately moving over every muscle. Burning it to memory. I pull his shirt off, a coy smile forming on his face. Straddling him, I remove my shirt. His hands instinctivel

...Xavier POV...I get back to work, trying to focus, but my mind keeps wandering to this afternoon. Sex with Lexi is truly amazing. Transformative really. Every time with her is different. We never know what to expect, we simply follow our intuition. Both of us are givers which makes it all the more exciting. I receive more pleasure when I'm able to pleasure her. I know she's the same, so sex has become a sort of competition between us. Today was no different. I just had a massive rush. Seeing the way she was pleasuring herself using my member was such a turn on. She knew exactly what she was doing to me.I can never get enough of her. While making her orgasm until she passes out, was not my intention, I was amazed by how well she did. I got her to orgasm nearly fifty times. A smirk appears on my face. One that I can't remove even if I tried. She truly makes me so happy. Even my staff have seen that change in me. The work that she's doing here h
Rising From the Ashes 51. You Can't Be Here!
I wake up in a dark room. I don’t know what time of day it is, because there aren't any windows. The walls, floor, and ceiling are all the same. Just a dismal looking grey. I search around the room, trying to find a door, or any way of escape. I look down at my body. I still haven't had a chance to assess my injuries from the accident. Apart from some cuts and scratches, I seem to be ok. I sigh in relief that I made it out of that wreck, for the most part unscathed.Suddenly, a light appears, but before I have a chance to see what's happening, I’m pulled backwards by my hair. Someone is pulling me, I grab at the hands holding me, hoping that I can get them to break their hold on me. They continue to drag me by my hair, I cry out in pain, trying to stand up, to make the pain ease. They reach a door, then they release their grip, only to push me into the room. I fall to the ground. I don’t move for a moment trying to get my bearings. I try to sit up, to get a
