CHAPTER 146

Soon, fingers ruffled through clothes and found their ways on the buttons and zipper. In no time, Jade and Xander succeeded in removing all of his clothes, leaving both of them bare in the tub.

"Now this is a bath." Jade let out a soft sigh, taking in his abs and muscles. Every seemed so perfect that she felt she would remain safe just lying in his arms forever.

But she knew that was only a mirage. If only it was true. If only duty was not always knocking at her door.

Regardless, shone duty this moment. Her pleasure and happiness came first. She smiled shyly at him, before kissing him again and letting her hand explore his muscles moving down to his pelvic region.

"Ahh… Quinn," Xander protested at what she was doing even though she knew he was very much enjoying himself.

"Relax. I am just washing you up, nothing more." Her lips parted to show her mischievous grin. That was his punishment for denying her even though she knew it was for her own good.

"You are wicked. Remind me to repay you back."

"Why would I need repayment. Let's just hope this would make you forget. Hahhaa haha…"

"Schh… Quui… aahhh." Xander bit down on his lower lips and closed his eyes.

He was supposed to be bathing her, now it was the other way around.

***

By the next morning, Jade woke up feeling fresh and more relaxed than she had ever been since her parents demise. 

For the first time, she slept soundly like a baby without any fear whatsoever or keeping watch every minute of the day.

She had long come to forget how it felt to be free. Completely free in mind, thoughts, fear and to be in the arms of the ones you love.

Perhaps then the only people she had that with was with her parents when she was all but a little girl. Ever since she grew up well enough to train and fight, no longer did she enjoy the comfort she once did as a child.

To be carefree was not a luxury she could afford but on that night, she enjoyed every single one of those things. It was like her dreams had been met.

And although the thoughts of her revenge did come to mind, she managed to brush it aside to enjoy herself. It was even from this little experience she understood what Xander meant when he said that she should let go of her revenge.

"Hmm…" Jade turned in her sleep and opened her eyes briefly.

Her gaze came to land on the handsome young man that was lying so soundlessly by her side. Yes she had got chances of watching him sleep but something about watching him this timer, made her heart flutter.

To her it felt like a honeymoon morning, one every couple would enjoy or in her case, every normal couple would but not in her case.

She knew that the chances of having all of this was slim. What if she died on her quest for vengeance? What if it jeopardized so much more than she was planning or risking? Could she still carry on as though nothing had happened?

So many thoughts ran through her mind that minute, but who was she to complain? She could just take life, one step at a time.

"Hmmm…" Xander shifted in his sleep, moving his head to face her direction before prying his eyes open. "Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning, honey," Jade greeted back with a lovely enchanting smile and shifted closer to him.

Knowing what she wanted to do, Xander shifted closer as well and raised himself up on one arm, creating space for her to come in close.

Not missing such a lovely chance to be coy and cozy with him, Jade pecked him lightly on the lips and hugged him close.

"How did my love sleep?"

"Like a baby." Xander could tell she was not lying. Just by judging from the sound of her voice, and the eagerness in her reply, he knew she was very much telling the truth.

"I am glad. I slept soundly too."

"Huh, why would you? Who would have protected us in case something happened?" Jade feigned being angry. She was already looking forward to teasing him and getting him angry or for him to pet and pamper her this morning.

"Says who I cannot protect you if I am asleep? So you want to enjoy all the comfort of having to be on the bed with me, all alone? I never knew the love of my life was selfish… ouchie."

He held his chest for more dramatic effect, causing Jade to roll her eyes at him. "Duh, I was joking, pff. Like hell you are hurt."

"Like hell I am, love. Comer and pet your honey boo." A stylish smile formed on his lips and he brought his head closer to hers.

"Keep dreaming," Jade replied and placed a hand over his face.

She had wanted to be the one who was pampered, turns out he won the game instead. "Pff you are no fun at all."

"Fun? Oh you haven't seen nothing yet babe." Before Jade knew what was happening, Xander's lips landed on her neck and he began to kiss and suck on her exposed flesh, while allowing his fingers rummage her body and tickle at her sides.

Soon his love became a laughing mess at all the things he was doing to her.

"Stop it hahha hahaa haha… Xanderrr hahha haha. Stop hah haha."

"Nope, I would show you I can be fun." He kept on torturing her with his fingers till she managed to escape and fall off the bed.

"Ouch!"

"Quinn!" Alarmed, Xander jumped off the bed and rounded the corner to go get her. "My love, I am so sorry. I did not mean to hurt you."

"My butt and head hurts," Jade complained, holding the affected areas with both hands.

"Sorry baby. I am so sorry." His hands moved on her head, making sure there was no swelling or blood anywhere and when he found none, that was when he let out his breath.

Jade was shocked. It wasn't like it was a serious injury but yet he felt so concerned like she had actually injured her head.

"I am sorry, love. It won't happen again." He gently removed her hand from her head and arrange her hair with his hands, till she was looking okay while his eyes raked all over her body for something wrong and found none.

"Hey, forgive me?" He asked when he noticed she had nit said anything.

Jade did not know what to say exactly. She had gotten worse wound but even at that, her father would say it was training. She needed to be tough and stronger to better protect herself but here she was, in the hands of someone else, carrying for her injury less head.

She could read and see the fear in his blue eyes when he assessed her with them. He was scared for some reason unknown to her but that had only made her feel special.

It had made her cherish him some more. It made her love him and adore him better. Whatever that fear was, she wanted to be the one to take it away even though she might have caused it.

This truly felt like a match made in heaven to her and before Xander could question her some more, Jade sat up and hugged him tight, till he fell to the bed and rested his body on the frame while supporting her own frame with his muscular arms.

"My love."

"I love you, Xander. And no, I can never get angry at you."

"Really?"

Was he doubting her words? Jade heaved out an exasperated sigh before pulling away and still kneeling down.

"Xan, look at me, honey. I would never get angry at you in this life and even if I do show signs of anger, walk up to me and seal your love for me with a kiss. Remind me with those sexy lips of yours that I am yours and no other person have the right to touch or kiss me apart from you. So only you can take my anger away."

'And if you are still angry?"

"Tie me up if you must till I listen to reason but do not stop showering me with your kisses. Swallow all of my complains and pains away till you take my anger with you and I am left at your mercy to be loved."

His ocean blue eyes shone with delight at her words. "I love how you submit to me, Quinn."

"It goes both ways. This same thing I ask of you, so I would do to you if ever you get angry. You know why?" Xander shook his head at her question. "It is because, I am yours and you are mine."

"I agree. This is our oath, our deal and our watchword."
