A Tornado Of Love (Eternal Love Series Book 2)

 

Juliette knew that she couldn't fight the love that she felt for Xavion anymore. She didn't care whether he had an affair with Candice or not. She wanted to be his forever and she became his.

If he wanted to clarify it would be up to him but she would never ask. It didn't matter anymore. The past was a closed chapter in their lives. They would forget Candice and her manipulations. She had accepted him in her life as he was. No questions asked. Just plain trust. She was at last at peace with her heart more than she'd ever been in the last few years.

They made out a bit kissing each other, showing each other how much they loved each other. Afterward, they went downstairs to watch a movie together. After a lot of choices and arguments, they finally decided upon a movie. Juliette dashed to the kitchen and brought a tub of butterscotch ice cream from the refrigerator. They had their fill while watching. Lying against each other they watched as well as discussed the movie. The movie got over and they heated the left-over lunch and ate it up.

Going upstairs to their bedroom, Juliette went to the en-suite for a shower and then changed into her pajama shorts. She came out of the bathroom to find Xavion lying on the bed, waiting for her. He smirked at her while his piercing gaze was fixed upon her. She blushed as his hot gaze took in her whole appearance. His eyes were dark and his pupils were dilated. Would he make love to her? She couldn't imagine anymore. Maybe yes. Did she want him to? Maybe yes. Would she stop him? No.

She went towards the bed and climbed onto it. Xavion got down and in two strides reached in front of her. He unbuttoned his shirt and threw it away. Juliette's eyes went round. He opened his belt and threw it away too. Juliette's eyes went rounder. He unbuttoned his jeans and started opening it. Juliette covered her eyes out of embarrassment. She'd never seen Xavion without clothes although she imagined him in her dreams many times. She was too embarrassed to look at his strip show. Didn't he have any shame?

"Xavion, what are you doing?" She asked in a panic, clamping her hands more tightly to her eyes. A blush crept up her neck and face.

"Just getting rid of my clothes, " he said, smirking at her. He was bowled over by her cuteness. He was glad that she was so innocent and his. The thought brought a strange excitement to his body.

"Why?" She asked, still covering her eyes. Would he make love to her now?

"Why do you think?" He said discarding his jeans and throwing them somewhere. He came towards her and stood in front of her, beside the bed. He took her hand away from her eyes. She blushed at his semi-naked body. He was very muscular and very tanned. His whole body was muscular and very arousing, his abs, his v-line, everything resembled some Greek God. His thigh muscles were sculpted too with a tattoo of a dragon on his right thigh. She stared mesmerized at the tattoo.

His fingers tucked into the waistband of his black briefs and Juliette again covered her face. Oh no, she couldn't look.

"Stop Xavi, please," she said, blushing furiously.

"No, won't you see how your Xavi looks? I want you to see me completely," he said. "Please Julie, look at me," he pleaded.

She opened her eyes and stared at him as he got rid of the last piece of clothing that covered him. She saw that he looked magnificent and completely tanned. He was really well endowed. He came close to her and turned around to let her see everything that was him.

She gasped at the 'J' that was inked on the upper side of his left hip. A tattoo of her first initial. It looked so good on him.

"That's you. J is my love, my Julie. I had it tattooed when we were in our first year together. I knew then that you were the one for me," he said and Juliette just touched the tattoo gently. She was touched by his confession. Did he tattoo her name upon himself way back then? If only she knew then. She had misunderstood him so much. His harsh intake of breath at her touch made her realize how aroused he was.

"Tell me, baby, did the naked man in those photographs resemble me?" He asked her, taking her by surprise. She pondered over what he asked, trying to remember the photographs that Candice showed her. No, not at all. He was more gorgeous than the man in the photographs.

"No way. Not even 1%," She said truthfully.

"Who's better?" He asked her.

"You," she said, shyly and he turned around. Her eyes went round at his huge hard arousal pointing at her, waiting to be stroked. Her hand went up and she stroked him and he closed his eyes. He felt heavenly and more aroused than he already was. He decided to clear all misunderstandings once and for all and then make Juliette completely his. God was giving him a chance and he would take it.

She now realized how foolish she was. His body did not resemble that man in the photographs even 1%. If only she'd seen him before. He climbed onto the bed and pulled her over himself.

"I have never done it with Candice, baby. Before you came into my life, I did a few one nights stands. After that nothing. There wasn't anyone for the last four years. I only had one wish to keep me going. To make you mine, to make you love me as much as I love you," he said, caressing her cheek. Juliette loved what he told her just now. She believed him completely. She hugged him, embedding her face on his chest.

"Oh, Xavion. I'm so sorry. I already love you. I have always loved you despite everything," she said, hugging him tightly to her. She felt blissfully happy thinking how foolish she'd been. If only she'd confronted him before and wouldn't have jumped to conclusions, they would have been married by now. She blushed at the thought.

"It's not your fault. You never saw me," he said, winking. He regretted not making love to her earlier. The misunderstandings wouldn't have stemmed at all then.

"In the other picture where I was lying with my face towards the camera, I was actually unconscious. They had spiked my drink and I was totally out. Candice then clicked that picture," he said. "She really went out of her way to trap me to marry her. She first separated us. The day you came over, she was informed about your arrival five minutes beforehand. She prepared enough to make it look like what you concluded. Veronica had spied on you every time you left your apartment to inform them about your whereabouts," he paused.

"I didn't know Veronica spied on me? The whole gang was involved in this. They were really professional at all this," said Juliette and he agreed.

"You have no clue to the level they could stoop to get a loaded husband. They thought that I was readily available. Her sister could trap my uncle with ease and Candice thought that she could too. Believe me, there was no love involved. Both sisters were after money. My uncle was blind but I'm not, " said Xavion.

Juliette was surprised at their tactics to trap Xavion. She had expected them to have manipulated everything but she never expected Candice to go this far, "I thought she loved you," she said, naively.

"See you don't even know how much desperate she really was, " said Xavion. "That day, when you came home, I had just returned from my office when the doorbell rang. I came down to see who had arrived. It was then that you saw me. I caught Candice red-handed happily messaging Veronica after you left. She had no idea that I read her message. There was a battle at home that day. I tried to prove her manipulations but my uncle Dave and his wife, who was Candice's sister supported her," said Xavion with pain in his eyes. Juliette was glad that he at last opened up to tell her everything. She felt anger towards his uncle. How could he do this to Xavion?

"I know, dad told me everything they did to you. I'm glad that they are out of your life forever, " she said, hugging him more tightly. She was relieved that they had cleared everything between themselves.

"Our lives," he corrected her with a smile. Juliette smiled back, agreeing with him.

"That day at the office, we were having a cat and dog fight. I wanted to throw her out. I accused her of playing with our lives. But the moment Candice saw the message on her mobile that you were coming, she jumped on me and started kissing me. I was taken aback. Before I could realize what was happening, you walked in. Her Cheshire grin after you left made my blood boil. I threw her out of the office then and there. She was there because uncle Dave recruited her as a trainee. He was blind to her manipulations," he confessed and Juliette listened patiently. She wanted him to speak out everything that he wanted her to know.

Everything became crystal clear to Juliette. "Reality is so different from what you conclude without knowing. I'm so sorry that I didn't clear everything before Xavi. We could have been together instead of wasting so much time," she said, truthfully. She sincerely regretted not talking to her and clearing the misunderstanding between them.

"I know, baby but at least we're together now. That night when you came and saw the photographs, it was the last trump card that Candice pulled before leaving. She stole my clothes and made the man wear it for the photoshoot. Then she placed everything neatly for you to find out and conclude," he said and Juliette felt ashamed of herself. She was naive and Candice took advantage of that. Candice could succeed only because of her. She was surprised how well Candice had read her to make such a foolproof plan to trap Xavion.

"I'm sorry that I concluded falsely about you. I promise to make it up to you, Xavi, " she said.

"And how will you do that?" Asked an amused Xavion, loving every minute now.

She kissed him gently but he dominated the kiss which soon turned into wild lovemaking that had both of them drown in each other. Their love for each other won and they were overwhelmed by their feelings for each other. Xavion made complete love to her throughout the night. Juliette felt treasured and cherished. He handled like a delicate flower the first time and made it a memorable experience for her. It was passionate lovemaking, which had her exhausted in no time. They went to sleep exhausted and blissfully happy in each other's arms. He woke her up many times in the night and Juliette didn't mind at all. In fact, she was too eager to be one with her Xavion. They fell into a blissful sleep in the wee hours of the morning, contended and united for life.

Love, at last, won all hurdles leaving them happy with each other.
