Avery’s pov
Xade stumbles back, as if my words had hit him so brutally, speared him right through his heart. I regret them instantly, my eyes softening along with my voice.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean.” I took in a shaky breath, ripping my gaze from his. The last thing I want is to hurt him. All this had been my fault and I’m st*pid for thinking this could really work between us.
I’m just ruining our friendship for something that we don’t know will last. What if this is just an infatuation because I sle th him? What
if this burns out for him? I rather only be his friend an risk 1
him forever.
“It’s time to face the truth Xade.” I pointed between us, keeping my voice calm. “This. Us. You’re out of my league and I can’t be what you want. This is risking our friendship Xade.”
It hurts to even say that we can’t be and it hurts even more when I know it’s the truth.
Xade shook his head, taking a step forward. “You’re wrong Avery,” I can’t move away, not when his eyes have pinned me where I stood. My skin buzzes and my throat runs dry. I love when he looks at me like that, with longing and desperation.
His eyes are intense and making me breathless by the second. “You’re everything I need,” he stressed out on all the words, his gaze burning into mine. My breath hitches when his palm press against the middle of my back, right on my spine. Fire.

I shivered
Xade.” I said breathlessly, the word barely more than a gasp of air. Being in his arms makes me not think clearly. I needed- I needed to think. “I’m going back to my dorm.” I tried to step out of his arms but he won’t let me.
His brows are drown into a frown, his eyes deep with frustration. “I’m so tired of you running away from this V.” I let out a surprised squeal when I am suddenly thrown over his shoulder and now face to face with his very s*xy bottom.
de!” I practically yelled, my head swinging from side to side as he alked to God knows where.” What the hell?”
I let out a shrill gasp when I felt the impact of his palm right on my left a*s cheek. It stings and feels…good. Very good. “I’ Where you belong is beside me and not far away.”
ing you to bed
My heart thrums in my chest. “Put me down!” I demanded and earned another smack on my a*s, this time on the right. Both stung from his brutality and I am embarrassed to admit it made a very delicate part of me tingle. Right between my legs. I am already growing so wet.
It’s like he knows too, because his hold grows more firm and a sound so feral comes out of his throat. “I will, on my bed,” he growled, squeezing one of my cheeks and I bit my lip.
“Do I even want to know what’s going on?” Xaden’s voice made me squirm with mortification. Great. Now I’ll never live this down.
Xaden.” Xade hissed.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Okay okay, just keep it down. I’m trying to catch some sleep.” Xaden snorted and I heard the sound of the door closing, indicating that he had stepped into his room. Xade kicks the door shut behind us when he enters the room and in seconds I am thrown on his bed.

I glared at him as I bounced on the mattress. Despite being a bit frustrated with him, I also felt that buzz of excitement which further irritated me more.” You’re unbelievable.” I puffed out.
“Yes, unbelievably in love with you and I am trying to figure out what it will take for you to see that.” His voice held so much emotion and the way his eyes searched mine, seeking for something I was afraid to show him.
I swallowed, looking away. “Xade, what you feel right now is lust. This will fizzle out just like all your other relationships have. Please, let us not ruin our friendship like this,” I want him, there’s no
mistaking I want this. But I have a good head on my shoulders to know that it’s impossible for us to work.
And maybe, I just feared that if were to not work, we! never go back. to how things were between us. I wasn’t sure if I w d to ris! friendship. I’d rather have him as a friend than as nothing at all.
He was my lifeline.
My words seem to have made him angry, his eyes grow hard, and a muscle ticks in his jaw. “Lust,” he spat the word out, his blue eyes storming.
“I know what lust is Avery and this, he pointed between us both. ” This is not that feeble feeling, it’s more than that, it is raw and real. It’s something I won’t ever find with someone else.”
