Chapter twenty seven

Once I reached my room, I placed my hands on my chest as I tried to steady my breathing. I removed my hands from my chest and moved them to my neck. I rubbed my neck at the extract spot where Xavier had kissed.

After standing at the door and smiling at myself for a good fifteen minutes. I decided to go and have a shower. After having my shower, I lazed around in the room before I started feeling hungry so I decided to go back downstairs and make something for myself.



*****


Xiao POV

I let out a sigh as I flexed my muscles. It is very hard. I have been working nonstop since morning.

“Why don’t you go and have a nap”. Xavier suggested it when he saw how tired I was. He had earlier had his coffee break after which he came back with a big smile which he maintained since then. I was too busy to even ask him about the reason behind the smile but I could bet with my last cash that it has to do with our mate.


“Yeah you're right. I think I need this break. Call me if you need anything”. I replied to him as I stood up and left the office. The office was on an entirely different floor from our penthouse so I still need to make use of the elevator.

I nodded at the guards as I passed them and made my way into the elevator. As soon as I reached the penthouse, I took off my blazer, loosened my tie and then slumped on one of the armchairs. I then unbuttoned three of my shirt buttons and closed my eyes. I am so exhausted. Being an Alpha can be very great but it’s also stressful. Imagine if this pack actually had only one alpha. The person could go crazy. Being the second biggest pack means there is more work needed to ensure the safety and well-being of the pack. The past few days of work have been too much.


My eyes were still closed while I rested when I started perceiving the scent of food. Sophia must be cooking. I smiled at that.

I opened my eyes and started packing my belongings so that I dropped them on the chair so that I could go to my room to shower and change before I came down and ate. Then I heard a crashing sound. I quickly got up worried that Sophia may have hurt herself.

As I rushed into the kitchen, I saw Sophia standing in front of the cabinet where the ceramic bowls were kept. The cupboard was still open and she was surrounded by broken pieces of ceramic. I guess the bowl must have slipped off when she wanted to take it out of the cupboard.

She seems perplexed about what to do. She did not even notice my presence in the kitchen. She bent down to quickly gather the broken pieces when one of them pierced into her finger and blood gushed out of the injured part. She groaned in pain.

Xiao immediately rushed to her side and held her hand which was bleeding.

“What the hell Sophia? Why will you use your hand to pick up broken pieces of ceramic?”. I angrily asked her. My heart stopped beating for a minute when I saw that she was injured.

Sophia stared at Xiao. She is shocked to see him because when she came downstairs, she was sure that she was the only one in the penthouse. The butterflies in her stomach were being together again with the way he was treating her like an egg.

She watched him sigh and muttered something before he went over to the other side of the kitchen. He opened one of the top cupboards and brought out a first aid box.

He came to her side, took the injured finger quickly cleaned it up and placed a bandage over it.



“Is it okay now or are you feeling any pain?”. Xiao gently asks her with his voice, feeling worried.

“No, it's fine now. Thank you”. Sophia answered feeling back for making him worry so much.



“Please be careful next time. You don’t know how I felt when I saw that you were injured”. Xiao said with so much emotion in his voice.

Sophia raised her head and stared at him and he also stared back at her with so much emotion in his eyes. The air around suddenly changes and becomes so thick that it can be cut by a knife.

After staring at each other for what seems like forever, they don’t know who made the first move but their lips suddenly connect with each other.



Xiao felt her desire rush into his blood. Their breath mingles in an intimate whisper. Their hearts hammer in sync.

Sparks instantly exploded in his system as he felt Sophia's lips come in contact with his. He could taste her in his mouth and also the heat and the softness of her mouth was driving him insane.

At first, Sophia did not know what to do since she had never had the experience of kissing someone. She just allowed him to take the lead and reciprocate what he was doing. But as minutes passed by, Sophia began to return his kisses. Her heart pounded in her chest as her knees got weaker and weaker. Sophia could not think of feeling anything apart from how Xiao tasted and felt against her. He nibbled her lower lips and she involuntarily parted her lips for him finally giving him entrance into her mouth.

The kiss became wild, hot and demanding.

Her lips felt so natural on his. Their tongues rolled along each other like they were meant for each other. And at that moment, Xiao lost all memories of himself.


Sophia's hands seemed to have a mind of their own as she wrapped them around his neck pulling his head closer to deepen the kiss. She doesn't know where the energy is coming from. All she wants is to keep kissing him and nothing more. Xiao released a half-growl and half-half moan in her mouth. She smiled and was pleased to know that she was the reason for the sweet sound.


It was the most incredible sound... And another beautiful thing to her was his lips on hers. The
way their mouth moves in harmony, their heart beating close to each other, hands
on each other. Desperate, demanding and quite insatiable. It was all paradisiacal and fabulous. Xiao groaned in her mouth when she pulled him closer and he tried not to smile. He slowly traced his hand down her body to her hips and to her back bringing her closer from the small of
her waist and he broke the kiss for a slight moment. He pushed her back gently to the
kitchen island and he resumed his kissing She released a loud moan in his mouth and
he could swear he loved that sound. He pulled her closer with his hand on the back of her head. His fingers Wrapped in between her braids. Then
He tilted his head to have more access to her mouth and he savoured the taste of her. She arched closer to him giving him enough chance to deepen the kiss. She craves more of him. It's like she couldn't get enough of him. Her body wants his touch. She wants him everywhere. Her
body felt like it was exploding. And she wanted him to touch her everywhere He could feel her
padded soft breast pressing on his chest when she arched closer and it sent a jolt of electricity down his body his heart was hammering in
his chest and blood moved down between his legs. He could hardly get enough of her. His hands moved from the back of her head to her
nape down to the side of her face, stroking it softly. His other hand traced down her body with just the thick polo she was wearing as a
hindrance.

His hands slowly slid down her body to her thigh which was exposed since she was wearing a short dress.

It gives him enough room to feel her smooth and warm legs on him. A fantasy he had been building in his head for several weeks. He had always wondered how it would feel to
touch her smooth skin. Now he was doing just that. And it's so awesome doing it. He pulled her upward from her thigh and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Then he breaks the kiss for a slight second to push away the first aid b0x and the cotton wool on the island, then he sets her up on the kitchen island. Before he leaned back
to take her mouth in his as if his life depended on it. She moaned loudly when his tongue met with
her again. He gently strokes and nibbs her lips with his tongue. She had missed his touch in that slight second. And she could swear she loved
the feeling of his mouth, his tastes, the heat of his breath and the warmness of his hand on her body. She knew she was losing it. She was losing control of herself.
Her mind was blank, her body numb with feelings she couldn't describe and her inside dancing with endless pleasure.
