Maureen’s voice reminded Lexi of a robot, giving her uncomfortable vibes. But she painted a grin on her face, telling Maureen that she was going to spend the day in the garden. She turned toward the stairs leading to the botanical area, still feeling Maureen’s eyes on her like a hawk’s.
Lexi sat in a direct beam of light with her sunglasses on, having laid out a blanket to lie on the immaculately green and pristinely manicured lawn. Her floral dress was long and decorated in dark blue and purple shades, but as usual, it showed a generous amount of cleavage that she liked teasing Xander with. The outfit went past her knees, with slits on either side that ran up to her hips, where she only wore a thong beneath the fabric.
She gazed down at herself, thinking about how much things had changed since moving out of her parents’ castle, when she heard someone behind her.
At first, she thought it was Harper but felt even more elated to see Xander standing there. He wore dress pants and a bright pink shirt with a collar, hair slicked back, and formal as always.
The softness of his voice contradicted the sharp edges of his grinning face.
“How was the clinic, my darling?”
He held out a hand to her as she lay back, and she took it. He pulled her up swiftly and efficiently, and she gasped in his arms, his power and strength making her legs weak.
“Oh my,” she muttered, chest rising and falling rapidly.
He held her like that for a moment, holding her lower back as she leaned away from him. Despite the deep plunge of her cleavage, his eyes remained on hers, which was impressive.
“I missed you,” he crooned.
Lexi couldn’t help herself. The tingle between her legs and the way he looked at her were enough to make her feral. She took his face in her palms and laid a passionate kiss on him, one enhanced by the way one of his hands slowly slipped under her dress and crept toward her bare ass.
“I have a surprise for you,” he whispered.
Xander stood straight, removing his hand from gripping her plump rear. Lexi felt dizzy as he took her by the hand, and they ran through the gardens and up the stairs to their private East Wing.
Lexi was glad she wore flats and had left them outside during the heat of the moment. She padded through the palace barefoot, her heart thumping madly as Xander led her to a mysterious destination.
“What did you do …” she murmured to him.
They stopped suddenly outside the only door on their floor that had been locked since her arrival. With a smile as wide as the Cheshire cat’s, Xander took out a golden key from his pocket.
“Something I hope you will enjoy. Something that will feel like home.”
He slid the key into the slot, turned it slowly, then gripped the handle. He swung the door open, and for a moment, Lexi thought her heart had completely stopped.
A giant library was revealed to her, containing books stacked ten to twelve feet high on cherry shelves lining all four walls. A skylight in the ceiling spilled natural light into the cozy environment, decorated with a comfortable easy chair and loveseat, and a vintage-looking fireplace. The wallpaper was sunflower yellow with tiny carvings of plants scattered along random places in minimalist etchings.
Lexi had never had anyone do such a thing for her. She covered her mouth as she entered the room, immersing herself in the illumination of the splendid summer light.
Xander followed behind her, closing the door with quiet admiration.
“Do you like it?” he murmured.
Lexi was at a loss for words, but when she turned to him, a handsome man with apprehension in his hazel eyes, there was only one thing she wanted.
Lexi went to him, gripping his shirt by the collar, then brought his mouth down to hover over her lips. She trembled and breathed into him before she let the beast out completely.
“I adore it.”
Her voice was sensual, and when their lips touched for the second time that day, she knew that there was no going back. She let out a loud moan when the kiss quickly evolved into hands wandering all over each other’s bodies. His tongue swirled around her open mouth, and Xander’s grip slipped under her dress to finally capture her ass.
She groaned, which made him growl, and they smiled under the pressure of each other’s mouths.
“Take me here,” she said breathlessly and urgently. “I want you right here, right now.”
Xander lifted her like he was lifting a feather. She hopped up and wrapped her legs around his waist, his hands squeezing and caressing her ass as he backed her to the nearest bookshelf. Her back pressed against ancient texts as he lowered her to the floor, helping her roll up her dress and frantically rip off the thin fabric of her thong.
The energy and spontaneity of the moment were absolutely erotic. Anyone at any time could walk in and see them fucking against the bookshelves, but that was what added to the thrill. After moving her dress aside, he hooked one of her legs around his waist, then slowly slid a finger between her legs, finding only glistening wetness.
