I groaned when Xavier growled possessively and kissed me back hard. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my heart pounding hard in my chest with a hard thump, thump, thump.

Xavier growled again and lifted me off the floor, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His lips didn't break contact with mine while he walked to the bed and laid me down on it. Slowly, he started to move his hands down my side, leaving a trail of sparks in its wake.

I groaned against his lips, my heart pounding in my chest. I was on cloud nine while he pulled his lips off of mine and started to leave hot and heavy kisses against my skin while he went down my neck. A moan escaped my lips when he found the area that he would mark with his lips, and he started to tease the area around it.

It grew harder and harder for me to breathe, and the urge for him to mark me was strong. However, the warning that Ingford gave me rang in my mind, and I placed my hands over his hands, stopping him from pulling my shorts down. "We can't," I breathed out, and Xavier stiffened against me and stopped in his attack against my skin.

Slowly, Xavier started to back away from me, reminding me of the time he had done that when we had first shared a steamy kiss. He was about to get off of me but stopped when I said, 'no,' and placed my arms around his neck and legs around his waist.

He stopped moving and stared at me with guarded eyes, and again, I was brought back to that night.

"Goddess," I said with a breathless chuckle and lifted myself up until I was able to place my head into the corner where his neck meets his shoulder. "Haven't we done this already?" I asked, breathless.

Xavier didn't say a word. He didn't move, and he didn't relax from his tense state. His arms were on either side of the pillow, and he stayed in that position with me hanging off of him.

Slowly, I moved my head until I looked at the male I was hanging off of and placed a single kiss on his lips, and he kissed me back gently. "Are you going to leave if I let you go?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Xavier shook his head, and I knew that this male wouldn't leave. He stayed still while I let go and watched me with eyes that were guarded and filled with pain.

I sighed and moved a hand across his cheek, studying the male on top of me. I bit back a smile when he closed his eyes and moved his head closer to my hand, happy that he was here and wanted me just as much as I wanted him.

"You have no idea how much I want just say let's do everything and let you claim me as yours," I whispered, and he opened his blue eyes and studied me. I bit back a smile when I saw his eyes turn darker and smelt his arousal. "But, I can't."

He furrowed his brows and stayed silent. He studied me with his dark blue eyes, and I knew that he was curious about what I meant. However, he didn't say a word and waited for me to tell him what I meant.

"Will you leave?" I asked, and he instantly shook his head, no. I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded my head, happy. "Good." I cleared my throat and licked my lips before I started to sit up, and Xavier moved out of my way until I could. "I can't because I have to go back with the Guardsmen for awhile."

"Why?" Xavier asked. He furrowed his brows and cocked his head, and I swore that I forgot how to breathe while I looked at the male before me. "For how long?"

"Ummmm..." I licked my lips and cleared my throat, my face turning red. I had no idea why I felt like this, but I did. I was sure it was because a mate bond had formed between us, but I didn't know that it would hit me this hard.

Xavier raised an eyebrow, and something flashed through his clear blue eyes. "Well?" he asked, and I cleared my throat again.

"For your second question, I don't know," I replied. I shrugged and grimaced. "I hope that I will be back in a year, but I can't see the future. I can seek the truth about the future, but I can't see it."
