“Oh, Xavier,” I cried out, pulling him into my arms. My heart was full and I kissed him hard. I couldn’t believe that it was my Xavier saying these words. My sex-on-legs. When had he become such a romantic? And that was how I knew he was being genuine. That’s how I knew his feelings for me were real and that what we had really was special. Xavier wasn’t the sort of man to spout off romantic nonsense to make someone feel better. He was the sort of man who would only say such things if he really meant them.

“Oh, Xavier,” I said again, gazing into his dazzling green eyes. “I love you. I really and truly love you.”

“I love you too,” he said and pulled me up. “In fact, I’m going to show you how much I love you right now.” He leaned over and pulled my top off. “Take off all your clothes,” he said and stepped back. “And then lie down on the ground.”

“What?” I said, my eyes widening.

“Do as I say,” he said with a smirk and I hurriedly took my clothes off and lay on the grass. It felt weird beneath my naked body. The grass was slightly cold and the ground was slightly hard, but I didn’t think about that for very long. I watched as Xavier took his clothes off and threw them onto the ground next to mine. I stared up at his magnificent naked body and swallowed hard as he joined me on the ground.

“Touch my cock,” he said and grabbed my hand. He grinned as I squeezed it and moved my fingers up and down. “Fuck,” he growled as he grew hard and closed his eyes. “Let go,” he muttered and pushed me down onto my back again. He bent down over me and spread my legs and grinned down at me.

“I’m going to show you how a real man pleases his woman,” he said and I gasped as his mouth fell to my wetness and he licked around my throbbing clit. I felt his tongue flicking against it as he had done to my nipples in the room and I cried out, allowing the wind to carry my whimpers and moans to the flowers around us. I grabbed his hair and pushed his face into my wetness harder as his tongue entered me roughly, moving in and out with as much force as a cock. I could feel wave after wave cascading over my body as I got ready to come. And then he pulled out of me and rolled onto the ground.

“Sit on me,” he growled as he leaned over and picked me up. “Sit on me and ride me, Lola. Show me how badly you want to come.”

I looked down at his face, so sexy and gruff, and he grunted as I lowered myself onto him. I didn’t play the slow-fast game that he liked to play. I immediately started to gallop on top of him, letting myself bounce up and down on his hard cock as fast as I could. I could feel his fingers playing with my breasts as I moved up and down. I screamed when my orgasm hit and I fell forward, crushing my breasts against his chest. He grabbed my hips and I could feel him still moving inside of me for a few seconds before I felt his body shuddering as he came inside of me. We lay there for a few minutes, breathing hard and holding each other,and I stroked the side of his face, feeling content. This feeling—this feeling of warmth and love—was how it was meant to be. This feeling was perfection.

Chapter Seventeen

Xavier

I watched to make sure that Lola was sleeping before I got out of the bed to make a phone call. I was happy that she’d loved my field as much as I had. She’d loved it so much that we’d christened it, letting our love flow into the grass as we moaned and devoured each other. I smiled at the thought of Lola riding me, the sun making her glow as her hair had blown in the wind. The afternoon had been perfect and I knew that we were back on track emotionally. There was only one thing bothering me. One thing that I couldn’t get out of my mind, and that was Stephan. Stephan was the man that just wouldn’t leave me. I knew that Lola loved me. I knew that I was the one that had messed everything up and nearly lost her, but I just couldn’t stop thinking about Stephan. What would have happened if I hadn’t taken her out of the tests? I knew she’d been attracted to him, but I didn’t know if she still thought about him. I didn’t know if she wished she could have seen what he had to offer. I picked up the phone and wondered if I was crazy. I had to be out of my mind to be making this call. I had no idea what I was thinking, but I knew that if I loved Lola, I had to put her first. I had to give her the option. Before she became mine forever, I had to let her go, let her make a decision that could break me. When I’d taken her from the test, I’d done it for me and her. I’d done it because I’d been scared. I’d done it because I didn’t want her to have access to Stephan anymore. I was worried that he had some spell over her when he saw her. I was still worried, but I knew that if I loved her, I had to trust her. I had to let her have the option. I stood next to the wall and gripped the phone as I waited for Stephan to answer. I couldn’t believe what I was about to do, but I knew that for love and for Lola, I had to make this call.

Chapter Eighteen

Lola

I woke up the next morning feeling satiated and happy. All of my worries and anger were miraculously gone. I wasn’t sure how or why all of my sorrow had fled, but I was happy that it had. I stretched out in the bed and looked around, wondering where Xavier had gone. I jumped up out of bed, pulled my nightdress on and walked towards the door so I could go and look for him. I padded down the corridor wondering what we were going to do next. I could barely keep up with Xavier and his plans, but I knew I had to find out. I knew that Anna was likely waiting on my call. I wasn’t sure how I was going to tell her everything that had happened since our last call. I wasn’t even sure she’d believe me. I wasn’t even sure that I believed myself.
