I said, “Umm well… I… watch…” He snorted, “I know exactly what you watch.” Oh gosh. Earth swallow me whole please. He wiggled his eyebrows, “In fact, you are the reason I didn’t get beat within an inch of my life for some of those videos so thanks for the views.” Freya cackled in my head.

Xander jumped into the ring. He declared, “Those are mostly all my moves, cousin. With some others.” Phil chuckled, “This ought to be good sparring match.” He jumped out. What was happening? Freya teased, “I think that’s obvious.”

I squeaked, “You… and me? Like… umm… now?” Xander replied, “I told you several times via email I wanted to spar with you.” Yes, I knew that because I’d said he’d be too distracting. Sierra linked, “You’ve got this. You’ve always wanted to spar with him. Embrace the moment and enjoy it.”

Before I could answer her, Xander came at me. He was fast, but I was faster. It felt as the fight went on, I could sense Freya getting stronger. I couldn’t stop my smile while Xander and I were blocking each other’s moves. I almost pinned him when he flipped it on me after an hour of fighting.

I was breathing hard but still smiling. He was really good. He closed the distance between us and kissed me. Cat calls echoed throughout the gym. Sierra said, “You always said you’d hold out for a guy who could beat you or give you a challenge, Ash.” I flushed.

I linked her, “Some things can remain not said out loud. I meant him when I said it.” She replied, “I know that.” UGH! Xander pulled me to my feet. He told Phil, “See you later, cousin.” He popped us back to the house.

I laughed, “You keep forgetting them.” He pushed me back onto the bed. He kissed down my body through my shirt before he ripped my pants off. He jumped up and his lips were back on mine.

He growled, “Do you have any idea what you were doing to me? I watched you take them all down. My Lovebug, my mate, my little dancing Warrior, you are fierce. You even stuck with me. I have trained since I could walk to fight.” I knew that.

He growled, “I need you. I need every inch of you. I’m so hard it’s painful. I’ve never been like this. I’ve never kept an eye on another fight during my own.” I locked my arms around his neck. I could feel how hard he was through his shorts. I flipped our positions.

Freya encouraged me, “You’ve got this.” I shakily ordered, “Snap your shorts off.” I’d heard girls in Black Path talk about giving head.

Mostly Sierra, Paige, and Addison because I introduced them to good men and not the horrible people of Black Path.

Angelique had lots of tips she offered about it when we talked or saw each other too.

I kissed his would be marking spot. His grip tightened on my waist as he groaned. I kissed and licked and nipped my way down his torso. Now Xander was breathing hard. I licked his weapon, as I’d decided to call it. Freya chimed in, “Dick. It’s his dick.” Or weapon… because it was one.

He groaned, “Fuck.” I locked eyes with him as I swirled my tongue around the tip. His gaze seared into my very soul. I made an O with my mouth and took as much of him as I could. I looked up at him again.

He warned, “I’m not going to last long at all. Not with your hot mouth on me with your wide eyed, innocent look after you teased me in the gym.” I had no idea what he was talking about. I didn't tease him at the gym.

Freya encouraged, “Just keep going with what you’re doing. Think about that later.” I could do that. I couldn’t take him all in my mouth. Apparently, my mouth wasn’t magical like my vagina. Freya snorted at me. I slid my mouth up and down what I could get.

Xander groaned, “Put your hand on what you can’t get in your mouth, Lovebug.” I did what he said and moved my hand with my mouth. He gripped my head. He whispered, “God, yes. Keep going like that. FUCK, ME….” His voice died off.

I frowned. I’m pretty sure I was doing that… well with my mouth… Did he want me to get on top? He came in my mouth, but he was still hard. Wasn’t he supposed to be soft now?

He pulled me up off the ground and threw me onto the bed. He settled between my thighs again. Gosh I should shower, but he didn’t let me up. He had me screaming in seconds.

Eventually he slid up my body with a smirk that could melt panties. He flipped me onto my stomach in one move. He entered me quicker than he had last night. I pushed my butt back into him. He moved faster than our first time.

I screamed, “XANDER!” He was so deep, and it felt so good. He bit my marking spot lightly. I gripped the sheets. He growled in my ear, “MINE! You’re MINE!” I moaned, “Yours.” He pounded into me. I’d come three times before he roared his release.

I noted feathers were suddenly floating around me. I looked up at him over my shoulder. He’d ripped a pillow apart to keep from marking me. Rejection slammed into me. Freya growled, “NO! He’s doing what we asked.” She was right, but it still felt awful. It felt like he didn’t want me.

Which logically was insane… I’d asked him not to mark me. For some reason my feelings apparently didn’t care about logic.

Xander snapped the room clean and gently laid on top of me not quite putting all his weight on me. He kissed my cheek, “Fuck, Lovebug.” I laughed, “I don’t know exactly what happened with the whole teasing you in the gym comment but... I work out like that a lot.”

Xander growled, “I dislike seeing you on top of other men.” I snorted, “It was in a completely non-sexual way.” Xander slowly pulled out of me and laid beside me. He pulled me over, so I was snuggled into him.

He said, “I know it was. It didn’t seem to help with my reaction though. I was so damn proud of you, but I wanted to tear them all to pieces. It’s a new feeling for me.” I laughed, “Ok.” That meant he didn’t want to tear people apart for Cheyenne.

Freya growled, “I don’t like her from your memories.” I hadn’t actually met her, but I had been near her. Her perfume nearly gagged me.

Xander said, “I recognized the techniques I teach. You took them all to heart.” I nodded because I’d memorized his training videos.

I’d mimicked his moves until they were muscle memory.

I told him, “Those videos teach so many people thing they wouldn’t know…

I’m so proud of you for putting them out there. ” My eyes were drifting shut.

Xander urged, “Get some sleep, Lovebug.” I smiled, feeling completely safe and content.

I was drifting off, but the feelings remained about not being marked.

I’d asked for this. It wasn’t even his fault, but it still hurt.

Was this going to be my life? He could still want to meet me but never mark me.

Yeah, that sounded like the Melanie McAlister lot in life.
