Chapter Fourteen

I cannot fall asleep for a while after Xavier’s rejection of my kiss. My feelings are already getting confused. I should be cautious with him. I don't exactly understand his intentions yet. He never said specifically that he expected anything sexual from this deal. I had assumed that was part of it though. And part of me felt like I owed it to him for what he was offering me. Another part of me felt like I actually wanted to kiss him. Shit. This might be more complicated than I thought it would be.

He was genuine with his words. What he said to me should have brought a calmness to me because it really did take away some of the pressure I felt to perform in this arrangement. But it stung for him to reject my invitation. All of a sudden, this whole situation feels different. My attraction to him and the energy I felt between the two of us from the beginning put a lens over everything that gave it all a different viewpoint.

Xavier basically just confirmed with me that he doesn’t just want to use me. He wants me to be with him naturally. Well, as naturally as I could be still considering that I am under agreement with him. The weird thing is that when I went in to kiss him, it felt instinctive and natural. No part of me felt like I was his “fake girlfriend” in that moment. It was only afterwards when I felt the sting of rejection that I went into explaining that it was just part of the deal. I want him, but I should hate him. As if this couldn’t be more confusing. I sit up in bed suddenly and bury my face in my hands.

Am I being naive? My father always warned me about that part of myself. Was he right? What kind of person am I, lusting over a man who was my father’s enemy and took me as an object to be bartered from the beginning? I stand from the bed and decide to go downstairs to get some fresh air. I don’t bother to put on my robe. I just go down in my silk night dress. It is a little after 1 AM. I’m sure nobody else is awake right now.

I walk down quietly and I don’t bother turning on any lights; I don’t want to wake anyone up. I walk out the back door and go to the garden. The lights are on there and honestly, it is even prettier in the evening than it is in the daylight. I walk to one of the benches and sit on it. The garden is one of my favorite places in the estate. It is quaint but full of color and life—a nice contrast to the inside of the house. At least here, I feel like I can breathe. I sit there, even though it is cold, it feels good to be out of the house.

My eyes start to blink slowly.
