I clutched the orb , the room as Xander expertly yed with my outer lips ,
v soft moans fillin spreading the wetness pooling from it like lubrication before moving to my nub .
With one probing finger , he found my rock – hard nub and began to rub his finger up and down , imitating my previous action .
I began to buck my hips up and down , following the movement of his hand .
“ You’re so perfect , L ,” Xander said suddenly , with wistfulness in his voice .
“ Does it feel good ? ”
My only reply was to throw my head back even further moaning with delight .
His breath was warm against my skin as he worked his tongue expertly , flicking it up and down , probing .
searching … slowly , he inserted one finger , pulling it back and forth to spread the wetness fully .
He pushed in until he was up to his knuckle and could go no further .
He twisted his finger in the slick slit , wiggling it around , making me thrash my head about and moan even louder when he hit a sweet spot .
“ Don’t stop ! ” I cried , “ Please , don’t stop ! ”
His tongue reached for my nub again , while still pounding his finger in and out of me and I went wild .
His tongue reced his hands at some point and I could barely hold on .
The orb in my hand pulsed , emitting a faint warmth that somehow intensified my sensations .
I clung to it as .
though it was an anchor as my body trembled with waves of pleasure .
My muscles tightened , my back arched as the orgasm washed over me .
I felt Xander’s grip on my thighs tighten momentarily before he pulled back , watching me with a look of quiet satisfaction as I slowly came down from my high .
He collected the orb from me before scooping me in his hands and taking me to the bed .
My eyes were still tightly shut , relishing in the free falling I just experienced .
When I opened my eyes , I saw he was lying beside me , his gaze fixed on the ceiling .
The air around us was calm , an unspoken understanding of what had just transpired , yet nothing felt awkward .
Instead , azy smile crept onto my face as I rolled onto my side to face .
My body .
was still humming with the aftermath but something else had caught my attention .
My eyes trailed downwards towards the lower part of Xander’s body , as I stared at him curiously .
“ Are you … alright ? ” I asked .
Xander who had been lost in thought , turned his head to look at me , confusion shing across his face for a minute .
“ Yeah , I’m fine .
Why do you ask ? ”
My gaze dipped down again , more pointedly this time ,nding on his crotch .
“ You sure ? I mean … Is there anything I can do for you ? ”
He stared at me for a moment before a slow smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth as he let out a low chuckle .
“ I’m fine , L ,” he assured me teasingly .
“ You don’t need to worry about me .
I’m more concerned about how you’re feeling ”

He sat up , moving to the side of the bed then swung his legs off the bed and stood up .
stretching .
I watched as he stood up , and then walked back to the mirror where the orb was lying .
He picked it up and moved towards his backpack with it .
I bit my lip before asking .
“ What’s the deal with that orb anyway ?”
For a moment , he didn’t respond , as if he hadn’t heard me .
He toyed with the orb in his hands , rolling it between his fingers absentmindedly .
I was about to repeat myself when he finally looked up , a small smile ying on his lips .
“ It’s nothing , really , he said with a shrug .
“ Just something used by the healers in my pack use to help people suffering from well , conditions like yours .
It’s supposed to help draw out the excess pheromones .
I eyed the orb suspiciously but eventually shrugged it off, deciding not to press further .
Whatever it was , it had worked .
The intense strain of my heat had faded , leaving me feeling
more in control than I had ever been .
I shrugged , epting his exnation .
“ Okay … ” I muttered though I wasn’t entirely convinced .
My gaze drifted back to Xander , my mind now focused on a different question .
A more important
in my opinion .
one ,
“ So , um … ” I paused chewing my lower lip nervously .
“ What are we now ? Are we dating or something ? ”
His eyes widened slightly at my question and he turned to me with a surprised , teasing grin , his eyes twinkling with amusement .
“ You would date someone like me ? ”
A blush crept up my cheeks but I couldn’t back down now .
“ Yeah , l’confessed quietly , my fingers fidgeting with the edge of the nket .
“ I mean , I like you .
And … you’re really handsome .
I’m not blind – everyone at school is into you .
The girls … ”
Heughed , his teasing smile growing wider .
“ Oh ? ” Are you using me for some kind of revenge mission against other girls ? ”
I couldn’t help butugh .
“ Maybe a little ,” I admitted .
“ But it’s not just that .
I don’t have the best memories of school … From year one until now and now this sophomore year but I have wanted .
to do little things like having a boyfriend .
I’ve never had one before and you’re the only guy that has stuck around until now .
”
His smile softened .
He crossed the room and squatted in front of me , taking both of my hands in his .
“ Everyone is an idiot , L , because if I had met you earlier , I would have totally dated you and for the life of me , I can’t understand why your mate let you go .
Is he blind ? ”
A pang of guilt suddenly sneaked into my heart but I pushed it down .
Ramsey was an ex for at reason and was dead to me .
“ Is that a yes ? ” I cocked my head at him.
He nodded slowly .
“ Let’s date .
”
My heart skipped a beat , my eyes locking with his .
I hadn’t expected him to agree so easily .
“ Do you do you love me ? ” I I whispered “ Or like me that seems fair enough .
I mean we bust met

?
“ Like you ? ” he repeated a yful grin tugging at his lips , as he wriggled his brows in disbelief at my question .
“ I’ve always loved you , L .
Since before you were born … and for centuries now .
”
I frowned .
“ What are you talking about ? You always say the weirdest things , I muttered giving him a yful shove .
”
He chuckled , reaching up and gently pinching my nose .
“ You’ll figure it out one day, L ,” he said , rising to his feet .
He straightened his shirt , his expression suddenly turning serious as he nced at the door of my bedroom .
“ I need to go now .
I have a feeling your mother might show up soon .
”
rest of his things into his backpack .
I I nodded smiling at him .
I watched as he gathe threw some clothes on before walking him to the door downstairs .
When he stepped out, turned to me and our gaze held .
“ Boyfriend ! ” I murmured , feeling a rush of excitement pool in my chest .
he
He just smiled and stroked my hair .
He opened his mouth as if to say something but decided against it .
“ Seems you have something to say to me ? ” I probed gently .
He nodded .
“ It’s a question , I’m just worried that I might offend you if I ask ? ”
“ If I promise not be get offended , will you ask ? ”
He smiled and then nodded .
“ L , is Mrs Grayson your real mother ? ” his voice was so soft that I almost didn’t catch his words for a moment .
The question caught me off guard .
I stared at him unsure of how to respond .

“ No ! ” I finally admitted .
“ She’s just my Nanny .
My parents are back at Blue Ridge and they want nothing to do with me .
So , Nanny practically raised me ever since I was little .
He cupped my face , his eyes boring into mine .
“ Why don’t you like talking about yourself , L ? I’ve told you stories about my childhood , how I grew up but it feels like I know nothing about
you .
What kind of person are you ? Did your parents tell you anything at least ? Maybe of your capabilities or something like that /
I shook my head , my throat tightening .
“ I just … don’t .
It’splicated , I guess .
See , I do not have the best stories .
My mother never liked me too much as a child , she preferred my sister , rissa and it only got worse when I became a deviant .
My life wasn’t as colourful as yours , aside from being this every month … I have no other ability .
He nodded , giving a thoughtful look .
“ Why are you asking ? Is it … is it going to change your mind
about us ? ”
“ No ! ” he shook his head , reaching for my left hand .
“ It doesn’t change anything .
I was just
curious .
