Chapter 24: We can't have sex in my office!

*Later that day*
"Wait a bit I'll drop you off"

Rachael was so stunned by these words that she had to turn to see if it was really said by Xavier. Yeah, he wasn't as sweet to offer her a ride. Probably he felt guilty for being so intolerable that morning.

"No it's fine, I can take a cab," she mumbled with a forced smile despite her stupefaction.

"I insist" he spoke again, pushing his chair back from his seat to have a clearer view of her. "I need to keep you safe"

That statement was deep, but Rachael kept a straight face nevertheless.

"You let me come by myself to work. I think the whole purpose has already been breached"

"No, I didn't leave you to come all by yourself"

"What?" She was confused at first, but it eventually came to her. "Did you have me followed?"

No wonder she kept noticing a familiar car behind the cab she took. She didn't read the meaning to it, but now she knew who was behind it_ Xavier.

"It was for your safety. What makes you think Magnus can't kidnap you in broad daylight"

"Uhm he can't, san Diego is too busy for him to do that"

He scoffed. "you have no idea"

"Yeah I don't " she folded her arm, not foreseeing an explanation from him. He was fond of keeping her in the dark and Rachael was entirely used to it. "When are we leaving," she asked again.

"Soon" he pointed at the seat opposite him. "Seat"

"Okay?" Rachael dropped her bag on his table and sat down.

"Want a drink?"

"Ok what are you playing at?" she almost broke out into laughter. He was never this sweet.

"Nothing" he furrowed his eyebrows at her

That was a lie, Rachael concluded inwardly.

"I just don't want you to get bored while I type"

"Since when did you care if I got bored or not? Are you laying some staff off? Wait. Am I included?"her eye widened as she sat up on her seat.

"No. I'm not laying any staff off"

"Then why are you being nice to me" she folded her arms, relaxing back on the chair.

"I shouldn't?"

"Jesus what did you do with Xavier" she chuckled slightly. This was just so unlike him. "If you don't want me getting bored, I could help you with whatever you are typing.

"No"

"Why. Is it the company's top secret? " she said dramatically with a chuckle afterward.

"We can go now," he announced, looking up at her as he stood up from his seat and walked towards her.

Rachael stood up as well. Was about to grab her bag from the table, but Xavier held her hands instead. He drew her closer to himself. It happened so fast. "Wh... What are you doing?" she asked breathlessly, staring at him, confused.

"Claudette made a statement to me today" he began, heaving her closer to himself. Rachael swallowed hard because there wasn't any inch of space between them. "She told me life is too short to let something precious slip away when you have the chance to take it"

"What are you saying Xavier?" she smiled nervously, looking at the door Incase someone decided to walk in on the both of them.

"Rachael" he called out, cupping her chin with his wide palm. "You have superpowers, you know that right?"

"No, I don't"

"No woman has ever made me feel the way you make me feel for the past two years"

Woah this was happening too fast. Even though her face held confusion, her body spoke otherwise. It tingled at each word he spoke, electrifying her inner self like wide fire.

"I didn't know that" her voice came out different. Xavier had a lot of control over every part of her body including her voice. "I....."

"If you don't want this, we can" he slowly caressed her lips.. "we can both stop now and pretend it didn't happen"

When he said those words, Rachael was surprised at how much she detested it. Of course, she didn't want it to stop. Her body yearned for him so much that she wanted to be taken right there in his office. She stared at his lips with lust and passion. Damning all consequences, she raised her legs to elevate her and pressed her lips against his.

A groan escaped from Xavier's lips as he kissed her back passionately. He felt the fire course through him and that was surprising, judging from the fact it was only a kiss. A kiss from the woman who performed magic on him like a sorcerer. He bit her lips slightly and broke the kiss as he tucked her hair behind her ears to reveal her insanely beautiful face.

Without warning, Xavier swept her off the floor and placed her on the table. The kissing continued as his erection grew, poking her at the side of her thighs. It stimulated her more. She wrapped her hand around his neck and her legs around his, ensuring there wasn't even a bit of space between them. Rachael didn't know where this was going, but she loved it. She loved the euphoria she got from just kissing him. It felt like injecting the right dose of cocaine into a drug addict's body.

All the ecstasy varnished when Xavier suddenly stopped kissing her. His lips slowly parted, but he didn't say anything as he walked back to his chair, leaving Rachael dumbfounded. She got down from the table, confused.

"Why did you stop?"

"We can't have sex in my office," he said plainly as if nothing happened.

"How many Blondies have you fucked on this table?" She folded her hands in frustration.

"You mean Claudia?"

"Yes"

"I had no idea that you had the fantasy of me fucking you on this table" he smiled at her.

*Why did he have to say it that way? Now she couldn't stop thinking of the pleasure*

"Do you want to have sex with me" he pushed on further, making his way towards her with his key jiggling at his side. Rachael gulped. She couldn't go through that torture twice

"I should be the one asking that question"

"Let's go" he tapped her lightly on the shoulder
