To Say Goodbye

Chapter 11

Maggie's POV

"Thank you" I say timidly near Xander's ear.

I felt his grip around my waist tighten slightly. He was swimming us to the shallower end of the pool.

"For what?" he questioned.

"For literally carrying my dead weight." I chuckled. "But seriously, thank you. I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the pool if it wasn't for you. I'm much happier like this than I was just sticking my feet in."

He only hummed in response. I can't see his face, so I'm unable to read his expression. Does this bother him... do I bother him? He doesn't strike me as a man that would offer to do something if he didn't want to do it. He is so confusingly complex. I don't understand him at all. He is nothing like Xavier.

He has stopped treading water and is leaning back against the side of the pool. He is only leaning on his shoulders though, so that way my legs are able to remain comfortably around his waist. We are standing between the shallow and deep end of the pool. more towards the deep side. Xander is able to touch the bottom with just his head and neck sticking out of the water. He relaxes slightly, and I feel him move both his hands to my thighs.

I'm still pressed firmly against him. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the feeling. I can feel the strength he has with his hard body pressed against my small delicate one. His large hands are rubbing my thighs slightly, awakening my center.

I shift a little so that I am able to lean back and look at him. I need to put a little space between us. I'm not used to the effect this man has on my body. I have never felt this throbbing need before.

Now that I'm leaned back a little I can see his face. His eyes appear bluer now if that is possible. I adjust my hands to a more comfortable position. One is firmly on his shoulder and the other is resting lightly on his broad chest.

"How do your ribs feel now?" Xander questions looking into my green orbs.

"They feel fine now, unless I move a certain way. The pain is manageable though, so not to worry. I'll just try not to move much." I joke lightly.

Xander shakes his head softly, disapproving of my joke. Why does he care so much? They are just bruises and he assumed I was some trashy prostitute only yesterday. I don't understand him.

Xander looks down to my lips and his eyes darken slightly. I had accidentally brought my lower lip between my teeth while I was contemplating the enigma that is Xander King. Xander leans forward slightly so his lips are brushing my ear.

"Stop torturing that bottom lip of yours. Unless, you want me to take it between my own teen." He warns in a husky voice.

I exhale a shakey breath at the image he gave me. I haven't kissed a man in years, let alone done anything else. In fact I have never gone all the way. I was just too busy and too focused on college or my career to care about those kinds of needs. Now I'm regretting that decision. Maybe if I had more experience in this, he wouldn't be able to have such a profound effect on me.

Xander's hands slide up to cup my ass. He gives me a firm squeeze. The sudden action pulls a small moan from me that goes straight into his neck. He groans lowly and applies more pressure to my globes. His movement causes my core to rub against his stomach. The light friction on my throbbing bud intensifies the need I have building there. I need more.

I run my hand up the back of his neck and into his hair. Once my fingers have a good grasp on his silky black hair, I give a slight tug. He grunts in approval and begins to massage my ass. He slowly applies firm pressure and then relaxes his grip for a short time. He is repeating the slow torture, stimulating my bundle of nerves in the process.

I feel a sensation building in my core. What Is that? I've never felt something like this before... I tug his hair again and bite my lip trying to keep a moan from slipping out.

Suddenly Xander stops his movements. I want to whimper at the loss of friction that was giving me so much pleasure. "We need to stop, my little temptress. Do you feel what you are doing to me?" He asks as he grabs my hips and places my core against his hard member. My eyes went wide. He is huge! "If we continue, I will end up taking you here, in front of all our friends. Although the thought of them watching as I slam my d**k into your sweet flower does sound enticing; I would rather have you all to myself. Your moans and screams will be for my ears only." He states lowly in the sexiest voice I've ever heard.

He was turned on because of me? That's not possible. I mean, this man probably has tons of gorgeous women falling at his feet. He is way out of my league. There is no way a man like that could possibly want me.

But I felt him... against my weeping flower. He was aroused... and I was the cause.

Xander's POV

I need to get out of here now! I am on the verge of losing the last thread of control I have. Her body responds to me in the most amazing way.

That soft moan was music to my ears. She wants me, nearly as much as I want her. She was living up to her name and tempting me.

Maggie is so innocent though. I dont think she knows the effect she has on me, or men in general. I mean she seemed genuinely surprised that I had an erection. Or maybe it was a reaction to my size. Either way, the innocence in her eyes was unmistakable.

I walk us to the shallow end and help her out of the pool. Adjusting my swim trunks in the process. I quickly wrap a towel around my waist to conceal my obvious arousal. I grabbed a second towel and turned to give it to Maggie, but I couldn't help but gulp at the sight of her.

She was trying to wring out the bottom of my black tshirt that she wore into the pool. The wet fabric is clinging to her like a second skin. I can clearly see the outline of her breasts and her hard n*****s are pointing straight at me.

There she goes again... tempting me.

I gently wrap the towel around her and walk back into the house alone. I need to take care of my pulsating friend and then come up with a game plan. There is something about this woman that I can't put my finger on. I'm curious about what this is. Why does she effect me so?

Xavier's POV

My plan is going perfectly!

I can see the chemistry between Maggie and Xander. It is almost palpable. I can already see the effect she is having on him, though he tries to hide it.

This is good for him... she is good for him.

I have never been able to get him to take a day off before. Now he has gone and taken the whole weekend off, and he hasn't even known her a full 48 hours.

I'm excited to see how the rest of the weekend unfolds.
