"This will all be over soon. I promise," he whispers.

My mood sours as I cling to him. "You can't promise something like that. My sister is here today but what about tomorrow, or the next day? You can't protect me all the time, Xander. Sooner or later—"

"Don't think like that, darling," he growls as he presses his forehead against mine.

"I have to be logical, Xander. It's going to happen and we're just delaying the inevitable."

I expect to see defeat or some sign that he's accepted what I have, but he just watches me with determination gleaming in his eyes.

"No one is going to hurt you," he presses even firmer than before.

"You are the most stubborn man I've ever met."

Xander actually smirks from my irritated words. "About as stubborn as you. Don't get all pouty. It's one of the things about me that keeps you coming back to my bed."

I can't help it. I burst into a fit of laughter at his tease. He doesn't like many people to see it but there is more to him than a scary, broody, bad boy covered in tattoos. He has these moments where he's sweet and goofy.

Be still my beating heart.

"And to think I was sure it was your big dick that kept me coming back. And the fact that your bed is more comfortable than the couch."

His grin widens like the Cheshire cat before he starts tickling me.

"Stop it, you damn neanderthal!" I throw my head back laughing before he steals a kiss from me, shutting me up with his intoxicating lips. I could kiss him all day and never grow tired of it.

"That's better," he mutters as he pulls back. "I only want you either smiling, laughing, or moaning. No more frowns, darling."

Damn sweet talker. He knows just how to make me feel better.

"We need to get dressed before my sister gets back," I say, but my body stiffen when it's not him who answers me.

"I've been here for a while, sister!"

My face turns scarlet when I realize my sister somehow snuck in while Xander was balls deep inside of me and heard us. I slam my hands over my eyes as Xander chuckles, moving off of me.

It takes me a minute to recover enough to grab my clothes from before the shower and throw them on. Xander barely beats me, putting on his mechanic get-up, and we both leave the bedroom, finding my sister sitting on the couch, smoking a cigarette, a shit-eating grin on her face.

"Well, well, grumpy cat. I was starting to think my sister was trying to save face when she said you knew what you were doing in bed. You guys were so quiet earlier. You had her wailing like a fucking pornstar just now."

My face reddens again. This is exactly the situation I was trying to avoid. This and possibly Gillian trying to seduce Xander when she realized how easily he can make me scream. She's been in the house when I had sex with Dell and to say she was highly unimpressed by the lack of noise is an understatement.

"When did you get back?" I ask, shaking off my embarrassment.

"You and grumpy cat were in the shower. I just went to the gas station around the corner. I was gone for maybe five minutes."

God, she heard everything then. No wonder we didn't hear her come in. Xander was busy fucking me into oblivion in the shower. I was way too focused on him to notice anything else.

"At least my sister is getting her pussy thoroughly fucked. I haven't gotten any decent dick since I left Donatello." Her eyes rake over Xander and I groan.

Gillian just can't help herself, can she?

"I need coffee," I whine and make my way over to the kitchen, escaping my sister making eyes at my man.
