Mexico!”
    Xavier chuckled. “There
are other more important things than Cabo, Adrienne.”
    Adrienne. He said
her name, and she had to control herself from blushing because of the way it
rolled off his tongue. He made it sound like such a sexy word that she wouldn't
mind him saying it repeatedly.
    “What could
possibly be more important than Cabo?” she asked, skeptically raising an
eyebrow at him.
    Xavier merely
shrugged his shoulders before answering,” Oh, I don't know, our marriage
perhaps?”
    Not in this
lifetime , Adrienne
thought. “I have a boyfriend,” she said venomously, and that was when a thought
hit her. She turned to face her father. “Ethan's probably waiting for me
downstairs, Dad. Can I go?” She would use any reason to get out of this
conversation.
    “He's having a
conversation with a redhead and her boyfriend.” Xavier was the one who
answered. “He's not looking for you, and even if you have a boyfriend now, I
have eternity to wait for you.”
    “What redhead?”
    Brianna laughed
for the nth time tonight. “He's probably talking about Sabrina and Max.”
    “Yeah, them,” said
Xavier, running a hand through his jet-black hair as he made his way closer to
Adrienne once again.
    “Don't tell me
you can see through walls?” The birthday girl, who was missing her own party at
the moment, couldn't help the sarcasm. “Is that another one of your vampire abilities?”
    “Vampires can't
see through walls,” he answered, laughing and patting her mop of hair like she
was a kid. “But we have more-than-perfect vision. We can see a few miles away.
Imagine though if we can see through things, see through clothe-”
    Adrienne
immediately cut him off. “So how'd you know Ethan wasn't looking for me?”
    He smirked at his
advantage over her, and in turn, she rolled her eyes at him. It wasn't her
fault she’d only found out the truth about what she was, literally minutes ago.
Besides, she wasn’t fully convinced yet.
    “I didn't see
them talking. I heard them.”
    Adrienne
frowned.  Wasn't she a vampire? “How come I can't?”
    “Probably because
you aren't trying.”
    “What?”
    “Concentrate.
Focus,” he breathed beside her ear. And she did just that, and with the first
word Xavier spoke out, Adrienne closed her eyes.
    “Think about who
you want to listen to, who you want to hear.”
    She contemplated
about the things Xavier was telling her, and then she saw different pictures
inside her head—scenes of her talking to Ethan and her friends, memories of
what they did during Holiday breaks, experiences with her father and many other
events that had happened in her life. She opened her eyes once more.
    “Did you hear
anything?” Xavier asked her.
    Their proximity
to each was other unnerving. He held her hips, and leaned in to her, pressing
against her body. She tried stepping away but she couldn't since her back was
already pressed against her father's office wall. “My imagination was just playing
games with me.” She let out a slightly irritated sigh before she looked up to
face him. His eyes were still the color of blood and his mouth was still as
luscious as ever. She needed him to back away. Her hormones were starting to
act up.
    “Get off.”
    He shook his head
and smiled, exposing his fangs. “You're going to have to get used to  this  sooner
or later.”
    “I pick later,
now off !” she tried once more, her tone more forceful and more
persistent.
    Xavier didn't
budge when Adrienne tried pushing him away from her, and she realized he was
using his own strength to counteract hers, and God was he strong. He didn't
move at all, not even a freaking millimeter. She closed her eyes and exhaled
heavily, and suddenly, pictures of Xavier clouded her mind. She just wanted him
off her. Was that so hard?
    Adrienne opened
her eyes once more, and exasperated, she tried to push him off her, trying to
exert not only her physical strength, but her willpower. She put everything
that she had
