Chapter 43 - I forfeit

POV

Millie

I've spent the day binging The Bachelor and being lazy. I texted Chase to let him know that I'm fine and I texted Steph to thank her for last night.

It's Friday night, and the girls are going to be partying and working tonight but we made plans to hang out tomorrow afternoon.

It's now around 8 pm and I'm sitting out on the balcony just watching the now dark ocean when I hear X behind me, and he takes a seat in the chair next to me.

"Beautiful, huh?" he asks and I nod still looking out at the deep blue ocean.

"Want to have a fire?" He asks and I'm surprised by this.

"Aren't you going to the club though?" I ask.

"Nah I don't feel like it tonight, maybe I'll go tomorrow," he says and I know he's only ditching it for me.

"Well okay, yeah, I'd love to have a fire," I say trying not to sound overly excited.

He laughs and starts a fire in the fire pit out on the balcony that we're on, "C'mon, sit over here." he says sitting down in a chair around the pit. I get up and sit in a chair across from him and warm up my hands inches away from the flame. I look up at him, he now has the hood up on his black zip up and his silver hoop nose ring looks brighter against the nearby flame.

Thank goodness there is an orangey glare on my face because I'm totally blushing at how attractive he looks.

"What'd you do today babe?" he asks looking into my eyes.

"Just lounged around, watched some TV," I say sounding like the bore that I am.

He laughs "Don't tell me it was that show you were watching the other night."

Oh my god, how embarrassing!

I hide my face in my hands concealing my humiliation. He laughs even more now and it's such a beautiful, rare sound. I peek my eyes through my fingers and he's either smiling at me or totally making fun of me, maybe both.

"Okay, okay I'm done now," he says leaning back in his chair and crossing his right leg over his left thigh.

"So…Miss Emily Hill, you were a pageant girl?" he asks comically. Ugh, how much does he know about me? He definitely found someone to dig into my life.

"Unfortunately…" I groan.

"How did that come about?" he asks.

I point up at my face and say "These stupid eyes" and then roll them.

"Millie, your eyes are the most beautiful I've ever seen," X says and my heart feels like it has stopped.

"Thank you," I say shyly.

"Well, one day I was at the mall with my mom, and some guy that runs pageants or somethin approached us and asked me to join, I was very hesitant at first, but the prizes that could be won is what did it for me, I did it for two years, did well and all, but it was so not for me."

He nods "I'm sure you won them all," he says in such a sexy way but I shake my head no.

"Okay, enough about me, I don't have a private investigator, so tell me something about you."

He chuckles "What do you want to know?"

I think for a second about what I want to tackle first, "what's your real name? I decide on.

"Xavier," he says simply.

"Okay Xavier, how would you feel about playing a little game?" I say seductively.

He raises an eyebrow "I'm listening.." he says intrigued.

"20 questions," I say and he looks a little uninterested.

"With a twist" I've gained interest again.

"Here are the rules, we'll ask each other questions, and if you don't want to answer, you take off an article of clothing," I say that last part slowly.

He's very intrigued now and I'm loving it.

"We'll each start with the same number of clothes and whoever is down to one left loses."

He perks up an eyebrow and says "And what does the winner get?" he says seductively.

I think about it for a minute "The winner gets to choose whatever sexual act, excluding sex, but everything else is on the table, from the loser." I say like I'm an attorney or something.

He laughs and says "Well what are we waiting for?" I laugh too at his eagerness.

"Okay, five articles of clothing," I say and he nods.

"I'll go first, did you drug Stephanie the night I found out who you were?"

He thinks for a second "Not necessarily drugged, I put a sleeping pill in her drink."

He says like it's no big deal. "X! What the fuck?" I scold and he just shrugs his shoulders.

It's his turn now and I'm nervous. "Do you still have feelings for that chase prick?" he asks.

I roll my eyes "No" I say simply.

"What exactly do you do for work?" I ask.

Ugh, he takes his socks off and I shake my head.

"Are you relieved that your dad died?" He asks me and that catches me off guard.

"In a way," I say regretfully.

"Does Julian like Steph, ya know like more than a hookup?" I ask.

"Yes," he says and it makes me smile for my best friend.

"When was the last time you pleasured yourself?" he asks, woah, we're really getting to it. I take off my socks now and he shakes his head.

"Do you miss your mom?" I ask and he says "Sometimes." I honestly thought that was going to be a quick no. "

"Why do you still blame yourself?" he asks and I know he's talking about my mom now and I don't want to ruin this fun time so I take off my shirt revealing my lacey black bra and his eyes go straight to my cleavage, this is going to get very interesting now.

"Have you ever been in love before?" I ask.

"No," he says as if it's obvious to the world.

"Do you like staying here with me, or would you rather be back with Stephanie and Mia?" he asks.

Ugh seriously?

"I like staying with you," I say shyly and he tries to hide his smile.

I'm about to go dark now, "have you ever killed someone?" I ask regretting my question because I don't know if I want to know that answer, he senses it and spares me, so he takes off his hoodie.

"If I lose, what do you want me to do to you?" he asks and it's taken a very lustful turn.

I hesitate for a minute building my confidence to say the word out loud" I uh..want you.. to lick me" I say losing my confidence way too fast.

"Where baby?" he asks in the sexiest husky way.

He's making me feel like the fire in the pit has migrated onto my skin.

"I want you to lick my pussy." I say looking directly into his eyes, he's biting his lower lip in the sexiest way possible.

"I forfeit" he announces and stands up, towers over me, he extends a hand to help me up, we haven't broken eye contact since I said those words.

"Bed, now," he says and I eagerly follow him inside.
