All Novel Sweet
Chapter 189
Xade’s pov
Avery was waiting for me at the door, wrapped in the oversized hoodie I had given her. She look so beautiful I had to stop to drink in the sight of her. She had dropped her hair and it cascaded down her back in waves.
Her cheeks were a bit flush and her eyes, her eyes were like that of a siren, pulling you in.
“How was it possible to be fated to such a beauty?” I whisper under my breath and resume my walk toward her. She finally spotted me and smiled and my breath hitches.
“I thought I told you to wait?” I raised a brow and pull her to me, interlocking our hands even though I just wanted to throw her in my arms and carry her. She’s my queen and I didn’t want her to walk.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She rolls her eyes. “I didn’t want you to come all the way upstairs to come get me,” her lips work in a playful pout and I cannot stop from leaning down to kiss her on her lips softly.
I chuckle. “You’re really something else.”
She raises a brow. “Me? You’re the one who has a surprise for me while we have hunters on our ass,”
I snorted. “Tonight let’s forget about all those hunters and threats. It’s just me and you. Avery and Xade,” I squeezed her hand and begin to guide her. ” Come,”
On the outside, I look like I was strong and ready, but inwardly I was sweating buckets, nervous that she would not like it.
The string lights led a path to the clearing where everything was set up and when we approached it I heard Avery pull in a sharp gasp. ” Wow,” she whispers in awe, staring at the lights, pillows and blankets around the crackling fire.
It’s beautiful Xade.” her voice is strained with emotion.
I watch her, my heart singing with happiness to see the glow of awe on her face.” Yes, it is.” I whisper, gawking at the beauty of my woman.
She senses my gaze and looks at me, flushing. ” You’re so corny,” she joked, but moves closer to me, snuggling on my side. I kissed her head, sighing.
” I realized we never had an official date,” I utter. Every time we thought things would be good something happens and spoils our plans. Not this time. My girl deserves her date. She deserves her ring.
We skipped right to second base,” she snorted and I chuckle loud.
We did didn’t we?” With another chuckle, I lead her to the blankets and pillows. ” But tonight I promise it won’t get to second base, it’s just us, on a date, just us.” I promised.
“Last time you gave a promise you ended up inside me,” she pointed out playfully
I cleared my throat, looking away. “This was your fault you little vixen and I didn’t break my promise. You were the one who wanted it,”
Touché,” she giggles.
I sat down and pull her with me. She snuggles against me, her eyes staring at the crackling fire in front of us. She sighs. “This is really beautiful,”
Only the best for you,” I whisper and kiss the top of her head. “But I have to admit I wasn’t the one who did the work,” I admitted sheepishly. Just gave the money and told them what I wanted,”
Avery giggles, kissing my cheek. “Either way, it’s perfect. Thank you.”
I look at her, really look at her and my heart expanded. I was stupid to have ever thought I could resist her. “Hey, Avery?”
“Yeah?” the fire in her eyes made her soul look more alive tonight.
“I love you,” I whisper.
