At Xavier's room, Hazel was standing by the door while Xavier was at the stool
"Wasn't that too much to be said in some minutes" she said
"I only stated your present status at the mansion, that's not too much"
"I'm sure if eyes could kill, I would be six feet under by now"
"I would kill them before they can think of killing you"
"You're right... so where are we going?"
"Where?"
"You said I should hurry at the dining"
"Oh, it's a surprise"
"Today?"
"No next week" he answered sarcastically
"I'm saying cause Sir Jordan will come around today and I was hoping to see him and discuss with him"
"You worry too much rabbit, leave your worries to me"
"I can't help it"
"Get ready, we'll be going out"
"Then can I know where we are going"
"It will no longer be a surprise if I tell you"
"I want to know, before you take me to your wolves as a surprise"
"I would not do that"
"Then tell me"
"On one condition"
"What's it?"
"To complete our deal"
"What deal?"
"Our ten minutes kiss... you've done half remaining half and you promised me later"
"…"
"I will not tell you if you don't complete the deal"
"I don't want to know anymore"
"That doesn't stop me from asking about my kiss"
"I said, I don't want to know the surprise anymore"
"And I heard you the first time"
"Can't we do this some other time, besides it has just been some few hours"
"It might have just been some few hours but I'm already starving, this time I might take a bite"
"A bite?!!"
"Its just a bite"
"Yeah, like I haven't heard that before"
"So can I have my kiss now"
"Yes, do it so it can be off my head"
"By the door, couch or bed… but I prefer the bed, its much more comfortable"
"You wish. By the door, so I can easily run if you don't keep to your promise 'just a bite'"
"Okay" he said and came closer to where she was by the door "you still don't trust me"
"Even I, can't be trusted when it comes to what I'm addicted to"
"You're saying I'm addicted to your blood?"
"You said it yourself"
He leaned much closer to close the gap between them. Hazel felt her lips go dry at the closeness and licked it to wet it's little and this didn't go unnoticed by Xavier
"You just love making things harder for me rabbit"
"What did i do?"
"You just licked your lips"
"But you weren't looking at my lips then"
"That doesn't mean I wasn't stealing glances"
"So you were stealing glances"
"Of course, I was just surveying where I would soon explore"
"…"
"Don't you think I deserve a bonus for waiting"
"No bonuses"
"Half a minute"
"No"
"Quarter"
"If good five minutes isn't enough, the quarter won't make a difference"
"Trust me, it will"
"No"
"But…"
"No" she said with finality and he bent his head in disappointment
'You sure have a way to get what you want' she thought
"Alright, a bonus of quarter a minute" Xavier raised his head up and without warning brought his lips down on hers. He took it roughly at first and kissed her like a starved man and like it was his last opportunity to do so. His lips found her nape and collarbone as his teeth grazed the skin there. He sank his teeth and took a little keeping his promise knowing that time wasn't on his side. He used his tongue to lick the blood that had stained her skin and found his way back to her mouth, it was still parted and he dived in again.
Hazel could kill taste her blood from his mouth and she just let him lead the kiss. He held her firmly on her waist and drew her closer to his body, angling her head to the right direction while Hazel held him with her hands around his nape. He found her tongue and entwined his with hers still going on with his rough-fast pace. He withdrew some seconds later and sucked on her lower lips releasing it with a 'pop' sound and then nibbed in it. Hazel flinched when he bit it
"That hurt" she whispered
"I'm sorry" he said in between kisses
"Two minutes left" she reminded
He went to her upper lips and did the same before going back in, this time at a slower pace since she wasn't able to keep up with the first.
Hazel at some point was carried away by the kiss and almost forgot their deal but she had to remind herself. Their tongue and lips moved at the same rhythm ad though it was a song they both knew
"Your bonus time now"
Xavier again went on a faster pace, even faster than before.
"Time up" she said as she pushed him back
"Fuck" Xavier cursed and pinched the space between his brows. Hazel just smiled knowing that he was so into the kiss, just like her though but she wasn't going to admit to that
"Could we go now, I'm dying to see the surprise"
"There's a dress I kept at the closet, change into that, I'll be outside" he gave a light peck on her lips and went. Hazel let out the laugh she had been holding since he gave out that curse.
At the carriage, Hazel was by one end and Xavier, by the other. Xavier was staring at her all the way while Hazel avoided any eye contact. This went on for minutes till she wasn't able to take it anymore
"Stop staring"
"I can't"
"Why?"
"You look beautiful in the dress"
"Thanks" her cheeks heated up a bit
"But it also looks like you're not breathing fine, did the maids tie the corset too tight?"
He was right, the corset was a little bit too tight
"I can manage it"
"No. Come here let me help"
"Can you do it?"
"I'll try" he pulled her closer just like for a hug and slipped his hands inside he dress, doing some tricks for it to loose.
"How did you learn that" she asked after he was done
"I've undone so many corsets"
'Shameless' she thought feeling a bit jealous
"Where are we going"
"For the umpteenth time, its a surprise"
"I hate being in suspense"
"It would soon be over rabbit"
