"Here you go"Grace chimed as she handed the latte to the man. Her pink-tinted heart-shaped lips were curved in a beautiful smile that melted him. He took the cup from her hands and Grace quickly turned around to prepare another set of orders. She expected him to go but to her surprise, he remained rooted on the spot while eyeing her with admiration.Grace was slightly flustered."Uhmm, Sir do you need something?""Your number, love. Can you give me?" He blatantly asked. Grace was caught off guard."Nope, buddy. She is off-limits." A deep voice answered him. The man was puzzled but soon his gaze turned to a glare when Adam came near Grace and snaked his right arm around her waist pulling her closer.His hold was possessive and the look on his face was threatening. The man felt intimated by that 6 ft hulk and quickly scurried away. Once he left, Grace shot her head up and threw Adam a glare."What was that for? You can't behave like this with the customer." She was annoyed.Adam chuckl
Grace moaned and shielded her right cheek with her palm which was currently on fire. She lazily peeked through her left eye only to see the windows of her room widely opened, welcoming the scorching golden rays to burn her face."I closed the door before sleeping then how come it opened?"She vaguely thought. After reaching home last night, she straightly dumped her exhausted self on the bed without even bothering to feed something to her empty stomach. The way Natasha humiliated her had sapped her whole energy but now she was regretting because, in all this chaos, she forgot to feed her baby too.Grace managed to sit on the bed with utmost difficulty. She slept on her left arm and as a result, her muscles had turned numb."Ahh, I can't even feel my hand." Groaning, she jerked her hand and rubbed it when her stomach rumbled loudly.She caressed her tummy lovingly, "Sorry baby. I will quickly make food for us."Grace used to talk with her child a lot. She never thought it but she had g
To say Grace was shocked would be an understatement. She was terrified out of her wits, not because Xavier was a werewolf but because she was one too. And that only led to one conclusion.He knew who she was.There wasn't a tiniest bit of doubt in it because no werewolf would reveal his secret in front of a mere human. Grace cried internally but her tears expressed her misery to Xavier who was still celebrating his victory."I was ready to turn the whole earth upside down and would have set it on fire if I hadn't found you."His words added to her trauma. Werewolf or not, the man was a completely gone case. And that gave a valid reason for Grace to run away.Suddenly something cold contacted her skin which grabbed her attention. Grace peeked at it through her peripheral vision. It was a candle holder. A perfect weapon which she could come as handy.While oblivious to her plans, Xavier was busy marveling at her beauty. Grace was startled when he suddenly dropped his whole weight on her
Everyone in the apartment by then had gathered in the hallway and surrounded Xavier so that he couldn't hurt Grace. Though they were frightened by his deadly appearance, Grace's safety was their priority. Some brought rods while others fetched anything that could help them to keep the intruder down on the ground."Who are you? Why are you troubling the girl?""Quickly call the cops"People shouted in unison while pointing their weapons at the man who was bleeding profusely.The crowd grew puzzled when the battered man did not attempt to move. He was sprawled on the floor like a corpse. One of them eventually mustered some courage and took small steps in his direction while clutching the rod tightly."Hey," a boy who couldn’t be more than 20 spoke sternly and poked him but Xavier didn't budge. He then looked at the others who gestured for him to try once again."Wake up," he nudged him again but when he didn't find any response, he backed away. People sighed in relief as they were also
"Stop crying. It's not good for the baby, An." Adam spoke comforting words in her ears while hugging Grace tightly who was sobbing like a child. The tip of her fingers had turned white due to how hard she was clutching his shirt.The poor soul was traumatized. Xavier’s return was a brutal reminder of how dark and haunting her future would be. She had tried so hard to protect herself and her baby from his hawkish eyes but now she had seen his strength. The power he holds, he’ll be able to find her even from the core of the earth."He found me Ad. There's no way I can trick him. He will drag me from the claws of death too. I can never win against him." Grace cried and buried her face in his shoulders.Adam caressed her hair. He was bristling with rage but at the same time, he was worried for her.Adam was shell-shocked when he found Grace on his door, shivering like a leaf. Unruly hair, face soaked with tears, face pale as if she had seen a ghost. He was eager to punish the culprit who
"Mmpff!!"Xavier silenced her as he kissed her passionately. But Grace continued squirming in his hold so he coiled his long fingers around her dainty throat and pressed her head firmly against the headrest. His decision worked well as his kitten quickly turned immobile. He purposely glided his thumb on her throbbing pulse. Grace quickly got the signal and turned stiff as a board not bothering to annoy him anymore or else that freak wouldn't hesitate twice to snap her neck.Xavier on the other hand was amused at her scared mate. Grace squeezed her eyes shut and fisted the hem of her dress as his moist lips repeatedly crashed against her idle ones setting her emotions on fire."No, p-please..." she tried to keep her sanity at bay but his enchanting scent and that expensive cologne sprinkled on his leather jacket turned all her attempts in vain.While Grace was having an inner battle with her tempestuous emotions, Xavier was having the best time of his life. Moaning shamelessly against
"We've arrived."Xavier exclaimed and looked at Grace only to find her sleeping peacefully. Her left cheek was squished against her fist. She was snuggled in the comfy seat looking so adorable that Xavier didn’t want to disturb her."I hate cute things. But perhaps you'll be an exception," No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take his eyes off her. She looked so pure but a bit scared like a bunny which only amused him. Xavier stared at her for a good few seconds before leaning closer to her."Wake up, sleepyhead." He said and flicked her nose with his fingers. Grace groaned and instantly woke up."What the-" She opened her eyes annoyed but quickly jerked back after finding Xavier's face dangerously close to her. With a bated breath, she kept staring at his face when his gaze lowered to his swollen fuller lips which had her lipstick stains. The man was a big pervert for not wiping his mouth.But she was embarrassed and quickly averted her gaze. Her cheeks blazing with fire. Xavier
"My baby," The thought of her child instantly reverted her to motion. Grace circled her belly with her arm; shielding it from Xavier who was assessing her every move with dark eyes."The fuck you are doing," he rankled and prowled towards her. The way she portrayed him as a killer irked him. Xavier was himself confused because he liked it when people feared him. It was sadistic but pleasurable for him but Grace was an exception.Grace maintained his glare and continued retreating. She couldn't risk her child's safety. Even though her heart was hammering in her mouth, she kept stealing small glances to make a quick run. There's no way she can live under the same roof with that monster.Xavier's rage pinnacled. He knew what she was trying to do."Don't you dare," he snarled making Grace flinch. His predatory eyes were enough to freeze her soul but she continued moving back and Xavier kept moving towards her covering the distance between them."XAVIER!!!"A loud growl boomed grabbing the
