Chapter Fifteen

I stayed in the rest of the day and worked with Devlin on discovering my casting abilities. The only thing I could do so far was the ‘wishing’ for things, but I decided it was a pretty cool thing to be able to do. As long as I knew exactly what I wanted or needed at that moment, I could call it to me. I couldn’t call for people, however. Devlin sighed in relief when we figured that out. I guessed it was because he was afraid I’d call for Xander when I was in bed going to sleep or something.

Xander kept quiet for most of the afternoon, only speaking when spoken to. He just sat quietly in a chair in the corner of Devlin’s study and watched. Although I always loved it when he was near, I realized I craved everything about him, including the things he said and how he said them. Xander had a way about him that was so uniquely him, that I missed it when he wasn’t acting like himself. This went on all afternoon and into the night until I couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’m going for a walk,” I said as I stood from my spot on the couch. “Xander, do you want to go with me?”

He was sitting in one of the armchairs, his hand propped up under his chin as he watched me. “Of course,” he replied and slowly rose to stand.

“We won’t be gone long,” I told Devlin and Ainsley as I reached the front door.

I got a few feet from the front porch when I felt Xan fall in place beside me, his long legs easily making up the distance. We walked in silence through the forest until we reached the stream where we first met after all those years of being apart.

"Xan, I'm sorry about earlier," I spoke up as I turned to face him. He had his lips tightly sealed, still not talking to me, so I continued. "I have no excuse for what I said other than I have issues..." I took in a deep breath and let it out. “I’m trying to get over them, I promise.” Xander’s lips slightly parted and he swallowed, but still didn’t speak. I turned back around and walked to the stream. “I’ve never had a meaningful relationship, at least not romantically. I’ve never let anyone in, never gave anyone the chance to, really. I know that with you, whatever we do will be more than meaningful. It’ll be everything, and I panicked and tried to push you away. I’m really sorry.” When he still hadn’t responded, I took a deep breath out, “Please, say something.”

Xander spun me around and kissed me roughly. His hands were in my hair and his tongue was fighting mine for control. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced and I wanted more, I wanted it all. I needed it all.

He picked me up in his strong arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked.
