To Say Goodbye

Chapter 7

Xander's POV

I'm an i***t! She is a nurse, not a prostitute. I royally screwed up. Now I understand why she got so mad.

She just walked out with Andre. Xavier Is standing next to me trying to stifle his laughter. Yeah, laugh it up brother. I just insulted the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

I was surprised when she had walked into the kitchen. I was sitting in the dark, so she didn't notice me. I eyed her from head to toe while she marveled at the kitchen.

She was short, really short, even in heels. Her black dress hugged her figure well, so I was able to get a pretty good view of each delicious curve. It was a more modest dress though, only showing a sneak peek of cleavage and stopping mid thigh. She had big green doe eyes, a button nose, and luscious pink lips. I would love to feel those soft lips on mine or wrapped around my c**k. Man, this woman is doing things to me! That thought alone has my c**k standing at attention.

What made me think she was a prostitute was her hair and clothes. Her golden brown hair was a mess in that ponytail and her dress was wrinkled. She also had this red mark on the right side of her jaw. I just assumed she looked this way because she was 'servicing' my brother. He often brings his...escorts... to the house.

"Tell me everything again, from the beginning. I want to know exactly what happened tonight." I state seriously to my brother. He stopped laughing and proceeded to tell me all the events of this evening. I would glare at him every once and a while for rambling about unnecessary details. Like a stupid makeout some Brandi chick had. I don't need to know that. Then he finally got to Bill Sutton.

My blood was beginning to boil. Sutton has some nerve coming to the club to demand money from me. Then attempting to kill my little brother, my family! He is a dead man.

Thankfully, a feisty nurse was there to save Xavier. I can't believe that short woman was able to disarm a deranged Bill Sutton. I'll have to review the club footage later to watch her in action.

My rage flared again when Xavier described the punch and kick Maggie took from Sutton. I know I don't think highly of women, but I would NEVER strike a woman. let alone kick her while she was down. Sutton was no man! He is a scared little b***h and he will regret laying a finger on her. I'll make sure of it.

I text my security team and my lawyer about Sutton. I want to know and use every bit of his dirty laundry. That way I can bury him in it.

Xavier handed me another glass of whiskey. I drank it down in one go. Feeling the burn in my throat as I set the glass on the counter. "I should have been there tonight. I'm sorry, brother. He went after you because of my decision." I said remorseful.

"I stand by your decision Xander. Obviously, Sutton has a loose screw. Not exactly a good choice for us to get involved with. There was no way you could have known he would react this way." Xavier stated slapping a hand on my shoulder. He was right.

"Now go fix things with my favorite nurse. She is my friend and she saved my life. That has got to count for something!" Xavier chuckled nudging my shoulder.

"Yeah, I should apologize. I'll grab her something to sleep in for the night and I'll try to think of a way to make it up to her." I sighed.

I stopped by my room and grabbed a black tshirt and a pair of boxer briefs. This woman was tiny so she will be swimming in my tee, but I figured she would like bottoms too. Although, I don't think any of my shorts would fit. These will have to do.

Her bedroom door is slightly ajar and I can see her leaning against the window frame with her phone to her ear. She took her heels off and pulled her hair out of the ponytail. Man, she really is short! Maybe 5'1". Her straight golden hair was now brushed and fell just above her hip. She was talking to someone on the phone and looking out the window at the pool. Suddenly she used her free hand to pull her long hair over her shoulder. Exposing her back to me. I sucked in a sharp breath at the sight. This woman was a temptress effortlessly. As if I wasn't hard enough, the view of her ass is making me painfully erect.

"Mel, you should see this place. I've only seen places like this on TV. Its beautiful! The pool looks amazing! I bet it would feel so nice during the day... No Mel! I'm not just gonna invite my friends over here to dip into their pool. Xavier probably wouldn't have a problem with it, but his brother might and it is not my house to do with as I please." Her soft voice was like a song for my ears. Even as she scolded her friend.

I could let her invite her friends over. Surely that would be a good start to setting things right with her.I adjust my pants to hide the beast within, before knocking on the door. She jumped slightly and turned to face me. Her big green eyes held me in a questioning gaze.

"Hold on Mel. Yes? Can I help you?" She asked cautiously.

"I brought you something to sleep in and I wanted to apologize for my earlier behavior. I'm sorry for assuming you were... a um... p-prostitute...and for treating you the way I did. Thank you for what you did for Xavier." Never in my life have I apologized to someone that wasn't family, and here I am blubbering like an i***t.

She walked up to me still holding the phone to her ear. c*****g her head to the side slightly, she looked up at me. This is a nice view, her looking up at me. I'm over a foot taller than her. Her head barely comes up to my chest.

"I appreciate the apology. There is no need to thank me though. Xavier is my friend. I would do that for anyone, and I would gladly do it again for him if needed. Although I think it would be best if we avoided situations like that in the future!" She started softly and ended with a chuckle. The sweetest chuckle I have ever heard. I'm betting she has a beautiful laugh.

I grin. "Yeah, that would probably be best." I say extending the clothes to her.

She gave me a breath taking smile. "Thank you" she said softly while grabbing the clothes.

I nodded. "You should invite your friends over for a pool day tomorrow. It is supposed to be a nice day for it. I know Xavier would like to spend more time with you all. He had fun tonight, well apart from Sutton. I'll have Andre pick them up from the hotel at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Xavier and I have a video chat meeting to attend at 10, but we can join you all after." I stated nonchalantly.

"Really?" She beamed. I nodded giving her a small smile. She went back to her friend on the phone, explaining the plan for tomorrow. I left her to it.

I needed to get away before I attacked her kissable lips. This woman was making my body react in strange ways. I felt like a love struck teenager. Lusting after an unattainable woman. What is wrong with me? I am Xander King! I don't ever react like this. I need to get my head on straight... but first, the head in my pants needs to be taken care of.

I walk into my room and immediately head for the shower. I know it's far too late for a cold shower to handle this. So, I turn on the hot water and strip off my clothes. My long, thick member was relieved when I let it spring from my pants. It was throbbing painfully from the constriction. I stepped into the hot stream of water, letting it cascade down my back.

Images of her began popping in my head. Her curves, her peekaboo cleavage, her ass in that dress, her plump lips, her green eyes as she looked up at me.

Fuck!

I guess I really am back to my teenage years. I wrapped my large hand around my pulsing member and began to stroke up and down. Pumping myself while I thought of her.

Magnolia Shepherd.

Maggie.

My tiny temptress.
