(Rachael)It's been a couple of weeks since Xander and I went public with our relationship, and I have been beating myself up ever since about being so hasty with this. I groaned when I realized the crisis I was in. Emily was also pacing since we were hanging out. We decided to go shopping for my upcoming date with Xander, but once I entered the store, paid for what I wanted, and was about to leave, I got trapped. Paparazzi lined up outside, waiting to get a glimpse of the famous Rachael Hale, who took Xander King off the market. At least, that's how they worded it in the papers, on the news, and all over social media. “You should have taken Xander's offer to drop you off. At least he would be here to protect us!” Emily shouted, and, which turned into an annoying groan when someone from inside the store tried to take our picture. “This has been going on for weeks, Em. I thought that it would have died down by now,” I replied, not knowing what to do. I checked my F******k page to se
(Xander's POV)After spending time with everyone, it was safe to say that I was a bit quick to judge Amy. It seems as if she truly loves Dad and cares for him, so I'll step aside for now. I can't believe that I'm even saying this, but I'm happy that he made the right choice. It's now 9 pm, and everyone was locked in their rooms. Rachael and I were in my room, and she's currently taking a shower when her phone went off. I took it up and was about to tell her that she had received a couple of messages when I noticed that it was John. I stopped to read them, which was easy since her phone wasn't locked. John wanted them to meet, but he did not say where. He also said the time, and I was shocked to find out that Rachael was keeping such a secret from me. But, I'm smarter than them.~~~~I did not mention anything to Rachael about those messages because if she wants to meet with John, I'll be damned if I'm not there, lurking in the shadows. If I see anything that I won't like, I'll make su
(Xander)I was mad. Why does it seem that Rachael always knows how to get me angry? I asked her not to come here alone, but she went behind my back and did the one thing I asked her not to do. Now, I'm standing here staring at her, not saying anything as I tried to figure out just what the fuck was going through her mind to pull such a reckless stunt. “Xander I…" I raised my hand, stopping her from what she was saying. “The one thing I asked you not to do and you did it! You're so fucking stubborn! Now is the time I wish that I could show you my Dom side because you won't be able to walk for ten years by the time I'm through with you.” Her eyes became wide from my threat and for the first time since I've been with her, I meant it. “Get in your car and drive to my house, I'll meet you there in a while.” She didn't hesitate and did what I asked her to do. I wanted to be able to calm down before I went home, I don't know what I would do if I had gone home in this state. I've never pu
(Xander)(One month later)Dad and I were having a family picnic since it was Saturday now, and the yard was packed with our family and friends. Rachael was here with Cole, but her parents weren't because they left for Australia two days ago. Dad walked up to me and smiled, looking happier than usual. “How are you feeling?” I asked him after a scare I had earlier. He said that he didn't feel well and fainted after that. Lucy was there with him to check and make sure that he was alright. Luckily for him, he regained consciousness and was able to walk around. “I need to talk to you in private,” Dad said, and I nodded my head and followed him. We were now in his room, and he started to pace shortly after I closed the door, which started to worry me. I've never seen him like this before. Something must be wrong for him to be getting worked up like this.“I don't know how to tell you this.” He started saying, but I decided to go with a little joke just to lighten the mood a bit. “You d
(Rachael)“I don't know, he's acting strange,” I said to Mariah after I took Cole back home with me. We spent the weekend at Xander's house, but it seemed as if something was wrong. “It could mean several things, he'll tell you whenever he's ready,” Mariah replied while sitting next to me on the couch. Cole was in his room, and I had just come home from work. “Today at work, he ignored me. I tried to talk to him to get his attention, but he snapped at me and told me that he had a lot of work to get done. I hadn't spoken to him after that.” I started shaking my legs while biting my nails. I did not want to jump to any conclusions, but I couldn't help it. Usually, Xander would be all over me, even at work. But something just seems off. “Do you think he wants to break up with me?” I asked in a worried tone, which only made Mariah laugh. “Break up with you? Oh, please. That man is head over heels in love with you. You two might not have started off on the right path, but you both gave
(Xander)I figured out what Rachael wanted to talk to me about, I know that I haven't been myself ever since I talked to Dad. I didn't want it to affect my relationship with Rachael, but it seemed as if that was precisely what was happening. The next day, when I woke up, I got ready and made my way downstairs where Cole and Mariah were chatting away. Cole saw me and ran towards me, with a bright smile on his face. “So, I was talking to mom about this, and I was also talking to Mariah. Do you think it would be ok for me to call you Dad?” He blushed and looked down while shuffling his feet. I chuckled at the way he was acting. “Are you certain that's what you want to do?” I asked. He nodded his head and smiled. “Yes, I'm positive. Is it ok, though?” he asked. “Of course it's ok. It would be an honor for me.” I picked him up and carried him towards the table. Rachael joined us shortly as Mariah was handing us our breakfast.“Hey, beautiful,” I said to Rachael, which had her looking d
(Rachael)Xander…" I started to say, but he cut me off and told me to come to his office for lunch, that he had some important calls to make. I groaned out of frustration because I knew that when he was like this, he became cold and distant. The car that was following us earlier was enough to push him over the edge. He was brooding by the time we got to work. I tried to talk to him to get him to calm down, but it was like he was in his own world, and I didn't know how to bring him back to reality. Michael saw me and walked up with a smile on his face. He's always so jovial. Whenever I'm around him, things appear to get better.“Hey, so I have a question,” Michael said. I nodded my head and told him to go on, just as Emily and Brady joined us. “What do you think about anal sex?” My eyes became wide because of his question, and even Emily started choking. Brady, on the other hand, was trying hard not to laugh. “Um, it's um.” I cleared my throat and tried again. “You're serious?” I wa
(Rachael)After making sure that the door was locked, Xander led me over to his desk. He took up his coffee and placed it somewhere else before continuing. I took a deep breath, I was so nervous because I didn't know whether I was doing the right thing or not. “Bend over for me. Make sure that your stomach is on the desk and your ass is out. There that's it. Such a perfect view.” I took a deep breath when I felt his hand gently moving against my ass. I pushed my body up so that I could get more of it.“Relax, beautiful, we can take our time,” Xander whispered while slowly moving my skirt up. My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't believe that I was allowing him to do this to me. I fought him before when it came to this, so why was I so weak for him now?“Before we get started. I should discuss what safe words are and when you should use them. Since this is only temporary, and you're not my submissive, I'll give you something easy.” He yanked my panty down, making me gasp. “Just
