61 A beautiful love (1/2)
The night air soothed the other wise awkward ride back. Jos held on tight as they flew rapidly down the interstate. ”We're almost back.” Xavier called out over the loud roar of the bike. They pulled into a parking spot and turned off the engine. He slid off the seat and held a hand out to her.
Jos arched her brow, but didn't say anything as she took his hand. He held her hand as they walked through the lobby and into their room. When he didn't release her hand, she finally asked. ”I... I... thought you were mad... after what I said...”
Xavier tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her close, a half-hearted smile on his face. He kissed the top of her hand as he pushed his glasses up onto the top of his head. He held her graze, ”I told you, I'm a patient man. I'm not in any hurry.” He kissed her forehead, ”I don't expect you to get over your feelings over night.” He winked down at her, ”Plus, I wouldn't mind being used by you.”
Jos stood frozen in place, staring into his brilliant eyes. {This has to be fake right? There can't possibly be someone this legitimately nice...} Jos fought with her thoughts, completely forgetting she was just standing there.

Xavier laughed, ”Come here.” He took her hand and guided her over to the patio doors. He sat in one of the small pool side chairs and pulled her down onto his lap. He rubbed his hands softly down the length of her arms on both sided until the ridged tension left her body. He pulled her against him, tucking her head under his chin. ”I know this isn't something you're used too, I can tell by the way you react to my touch... and I'm sure there is still some part of you that is put off by the fact that I'm a vampire, but you have to know I mean it when I tell you I care for you.”
Jos didn't fight against him but didn't respond to him either. It was best he believed all her apprehension came for what his was as a general precaution.
When she continued to say nothing he sighed heavily, ”Ok, I'll admit... I wasn't thrilled to hear you're words earlier or to have you question my trustworthiness.” He hooked a finger under her chin and gently brought her eyes up to meet his. ”Jos, I have done horrible things in my past... to countless people. I'm not proud of what I've done and sure I could tell you it was forced onto me... but it doesn't matter.” His eyes shimmered with the passion blazing in their depths. ”I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'll never hurt you, Jos. At the end of the day I'm still only a man, but I can tell you I'll do everything in my power to try. To try and be the man you want... need... the man you deserve.” He bent down and kissed her lips lightly giving her a chance to pull away and end it, but to his surprise she didn't pull away.
Jos let her hands slip up the soft leather of the motorcycle jacket he still wore, across his brood shoulders, to finally rest around his neck. {His mind control or influence must be working on me to some degree. There is no way possible to feel this way for someone so soon... Is this what you'd call a rebound?}
Xavier broke the kiss and chuckled. He ran his hand over the outfit he had picked out for her earlier. ”If I had realized how hard this thing was to get off I would have picked something different.” He laughed as he gazed into her questioning eyes. He flicked the zipper of the jumpsuit letting his eyes take her in fully. The suit conformed to her body like airlocked plastic, leaving little to the imagination. Her large breasts fought for escape against the zipper, threatening to bust free at the first chance. Every inch of her body was hugged tightly in the material. He continued inspecting her as he commented, ”So... impractical really... I mean how do you pee?” He sent her a playfully wicked grin before tugging hard at the zipper causing her to gasp in surprise, ”Don't mind me I'm just letting them breath.” He arched his brows at the black bathing suit under neither. He sent her a questioning look, ”Well I had hoped for nothing but...”
She laughed, ”Being female, it didn't take long to realize how impractical this thing was so I put on a swimsuit and thin shorts under it.” She shrugged her shoulders, ”And trust me, next time you want to plan a super romantic adventure... leather in the summer isn't the way to approach it.” She patted his cheek before lifting herself up from his lap. He took her hand to help her up. As she stood she added. ”Thank you...”
Xavier laughed, ”Your welcome, though I'm not quite sure what you're thanking me for.”
Jos smiled down at him. ”You have a way of always making me feel better. There's something oddly comforting about being with you... I don't know how to explain it.”
Xavier shrugged, ”Just one of my many charms I guess.” He traced the pad of his thumb over her hand he had yet to release.
Jos tilted her head, studying his carefree expression. ”Must be more of those vampire charms...”
Xavier's smile fell. ”Must be...” He let his grip ease and his hand fall away. ”I guess if leather is really all that bad this time of year I should let you go change and freshen up... whatever else it is you human girls do for so long in the bathrooms now days.” He waved her on teasingly.
Jos huffed out a sarcastic laugh, her hands fisting at her hips. ”What us human girls do? I didn't think you spent much time with 'human girls'?”
He arched a brow playfully as he pushed himself up out of the chair. He came up toe to toe with her and leaned down until their eyes were level. ”Why? Jealous?” He didn't give her time- to answer as he captured her lips for a more forceful kiss, testing her limits but not yet meeting them. He pulled back again as she met his kiss head-on. He stroked his large finger down her cheek. ”Go get changed, I'll order you something to eat. Is there anything special you'd like?”
She smiled, ”Thank you, no just whatever you would like.”
He arched his brow, ”So... Two A negatives then?”
Her head jerked back in surprise. ”A sandwich or burger will be fine thanks.” She shook her head as she turned and walked through the doors toward the bathroom. ”Crazy man...” She muttered as she walked through the room and closed the bathroom door.
Xavier watched as the door closed. He walked over and closed the doors to the patio before turning the chair he had been sitting in with Jos only moments before to face the glass doors. He then retrieved his phone and sat back down. The phone rang three times before it was finally answered. ”Do you have a location yet?”
[No I don't have a fucking location yet!] A pissed off voice boomed from the other line. [I went to the damn apartment. Nothing was there and the damn roommate was useless. I REALLY don't feel like flying halfway around the damn planet for a maybe either.]
Xavier tapped his fingers impatiently on the arm of the chair. ”Where else would they go? It's the only logical thing to do.”
[Where else? It's a fucking Gin, literally anywhere the little prick wants to go!] Dante began yelling at someone nearby and blowing his car horn loudly.
”Just fucking go. If the other clan leader find out why you're not in attendants everything we've done until now will be jeopardized. plus, I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to keep her here.”
[What are you talking about? The other clan leaders are after the same goals as we are, they wouldn't give three shits about what I've done.] Dante said, obviously more focused on what he was doing on his end.
