The Mafia’s Heart’s Keeper

Chapter 11

I groaned as I rolled on my back. I tried to get up but something strong around my waist was restraining me. I looked up and saw that it was Xavier's hand. He looked so peaceful. His lips slightly parted. His hair rested on his forehead. He looked nothing like a mafia leader. I tried to move his hand and get up but this only made him tighten his hold on me. He placed his head in the crook of my neck and I smiled.

“Xavier wake up.” He groaned.

“Let me go.” I shook him a bit only to get a groan in return.

“No sleep.”  He said huskily which managed to spreadsend tingles all round my body. I wanted to stay in that position but my bladder was killing me.

“I have to go to the bathroom.” He groaned but nonetheless lifted his hand. I swung my legs off the bed and went to the bathroom and did my business. Then I brushed my teeth and pulled my hair in a messy bun. I I got out of the bathroom and saw Xavier rubbing his eyes. 

“Good morning.” He shot a lazy grin at me while walking towards me.

 “How did you sleep?” I asked returning the smile. 

“The best till now.” He  said while grinning. 

“I will go downstairs. You go and freshen up.” He nodded and made his way to the bathroom while I went downstairs.

Xavier POV 

It felt so good to have her in my arms. Today I slept so peacefully without any tension. I  got the folder back and also Hazel. God, I sound like a love struck puppy. Now I have to take care of Hazel so that Darren can't harm her or anyone in any way. I have to double up the security. I opened my phone and called Caleb. 

“Hello, boss.” He answered the call after two rings.

“Caleb, I need you to double the security and keep an eye on Darren.” I ordered using my business tone. That’s what Sam likes to call it.

“Yes, boss.”

I ended the call and walked downstairs to the kitchen. 

The smell of bacon and eggs hit me as I reached closer. There stood near the stove Hazel. She was so engrossed in working that she didn't notice my presence. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She yelped but instantly calmed down when she realised that its me .

“What are you cooking?” I asked her even though I very well knew what she was cooking. I placed my chin on her shoulder and breathed her fruity yet fresh smell. 

“Bacon.” She took two plates and served the bacon and eggs and placed them on the counter. My stomach growled and I instantly dug in . 

“What are you doing today?” She questioned breaking the silence. 

“I have some work to do.” She nodded her head and went to wash her plate. I finished quickly and washed mine too.  

Just as she was about to go. I took hold of her wrist and trapped her between me and the counter.

“What are you doing?” She asked nervously. Her eyes widening and brows furrowed. I smirked knowing how my presence affected her. I leaned in and placed my lips on hers. 

Her lips tasted of strawberry. She started responding to me and I slipped my tongue inside her mouth and she wrapped her arms my neck. She gently tugged at my hair causing me to groan. I lifted her legs, placing her on the counter and she wrapped them around my waist. Tingles spread through my body. The kiss was full of passion. She pulled away to catch her breath and I connected our foreheads. The only sound in the kitchen was of our panting. But our little moment was disturbed by the presence of Sam.

“Woah! What do we have here?” He smirked at the scene infront of him. Hazel quickly unwrapped her legs from my waist and I glared at him.

“Way to ruin a moment asshole.” I cursed him only for him to grin like a Cheshire Cat.

“Its not my fault you guys are making out in the kitchen. Get a room but don't forget to use protection.” He advised while walking out of the kitchen. I turned to Hazel who was trying to control her laughter but couldn't. At last we were both laughing our heads off in the kitchen .
