My five husbands by Loren rivera (inspirational books for women TXT) 📖

            They reached the mansion where they stayed last night. Grace came to help them but Xavier shooed her away. He took christiana to the room they were staying in. He placed her on the couch and went to the bathroom to get the shower running so they could clean themselves of the blood. 

            Meanwhile, christiana woke up. She looked around at her surrounding. She saw her bloodied clothes and was disgusted by them. She heard the shower and went inside the bathroom. 

Xavier: Um,I was going to wake you up so you can shower. 

Christiana: Oh,okay. 

Xavier: So, you get inside the shower and I will go and get the towel and robes. 

Christiana: Okay. 

          Christiana got rid of her bloody clothes and got inside the shower. The warm water washed the blood of her. The water in the bath was turning red because of the blood. Seeing so much blood at once was bringing back memories she did want. 

          Christiana felt someone's presence behind her. She turned to see Xavier behind her only in his boxers. Before she could so anything, he started speaking...

Xavier: Christiana, when you said that you love me, did you mean it? 

Christiana: Yes. I meant everything I said. 

Xavier: Because I am also falling for you, baby. I tried to push my feelings away but when you said that you love me, it was like, a wall had broken inside my heart and all the emotions came rushing to me. I love you too baby. 

Christiana: You do? 

Xavier: Yes, and if you don't believe me, I will spend every single second of my life proving my love to you. 

          Christiana had tears in her eyes by now. She never thought that Xavier would ever love her like she did. Maybe he didn't love her as much as she did, but hearing those words was enough for now. 

         She knew that Xavier always thinks through everything. If he had said that he loved her, then he meant it. She was not going to throw this away because of the 'what' and 'ifs'. She was going to give them a chance even if it meant getting her heart broken in the end. Because she knew that being a part of his life is not going to be easy at all. But she had to tell him something first. Something that might change his decision. Something that might break them. 

Christiana: Before we start anything, I have to tell you something. Something that might change your decision about 'us'.

Xavier: Nothing can change my decision now,baby. First, let's clean you up and then we will talk.

Christiana: Okay. 

           Christiana was not going to miss this chance. This might be the last time she see him. This might be the last time they are together. So, she did what her heart wanted her to do. She kissed him. 

           Xavier was shocked for a second by her suddenness but kissed her back with the same ferocity. He picked her up in his arms. Her arms around her neck and legs wrapped around his torso. With her back against the wall. Xavier kissed her like he was going to eat her up, and christiana kissed him like it was the last time. 

         Then he kept her down so her legs touched the floor. He turned her around now her back pressed against his chest. He kissed her neck from behind. And she moaned. His hands travelled from her hips to her stomach and then to her breasts. Her boobs fit perfectly in his hand. He squeezed them in his hands. His fingers were on her nipples pinching them. She was getting wet between her thighs. 

Christiana: Xavier..

Xavier: Yes baby, say my name. 

Christiana: Xavier,stop. 

          And Xavier stopped immediately. He withdrew his hands from her immediately. She turned around to face him. 

Xavier: Baby, if you want this, we can wait. We can take this slowly if you want. 

Christiana: It's not that. 

Xavier: Then what is it, baby? 

Christiana: Before we go any further, there is something you should know.

Xavier: You are scaring me,baby what is it? 

            Both of them got out of the shower and wore the bathrobes. They went inside the bedroom and sat on the bed. 

Xavier: Christiana, your silence is killing me. 

Christiana: I don't know if this will effect our relationship or not, but it is something you should know. Whatever is your decision, I will accept it.

Xavier: Okay. 

Christiana: My family is.. 

Xavier: Dead, I know. You told me the day you met me. That you are an orphan. 

Christiana: Listen to me. My family is very much alive. Actually, I ran away from my house. 

Xavier: Okay, but this does not affect us in anyway, baby. 

Christiana: It will if you listen to the whole thing. You know the King of Arab states " Raheem Al Imam". 

Xavier: Obviously, everyone knows him. 

Christiana: The daughter "Zeena" that ran away at the age of 16.

Xavier: Are you going to say that you are "Zeena"? Babe, she died at the age of 17, it was all over the news. 

Christiana: She didn't, Xavier. I am Zeena Al Imam. 

Xavier: That's not funny, baby. So you are saying that you are the Runaway princess. 

Christiana: Yes.

Xavier: Wait, you are serious. 

Christiana: You think that I would stop you in the middle of sex to joke about something like this. 

Xavier: What? How? She was died. 

Christiana: I am very much alive. I ran away from my house because my abba(dad) was going to marry me off to a disgusting old prince to expand his empire. 

Xavier: But, you were 16 when you ran away, you have to be atleast 18 to get married. 

Christiana: The king makes the laws,Xavier he can easily break them. As if anyone would go against the almighty king. 

Xavier: Okay, so what about the death and everything? 

Christiana: The death was fake. So that his name does not get spoiled. That the king's daughter ran away because of him. He is too much controlling and manipulative and the world will never know that. I was tired of his tactics. When he decided to marry me off to an old man, my patience broke and I ran away. My ammi(mother)helped me with my escape.
