FULL NOVELXO Chapter 158
Avery’s pov
As we walked out, Xade keeps his arms around me, shielding me in a way that had me plastered to his side. ” Take our vehicle, it’s tinted,” Xadeon throw him the keys and Xade caught them with a nod. Xade throws him the keys to his.
Xade leads me to the vehicle, opening the door and making sure I am secured before closing it and racing to the driver’s side. I am a nervous wreck, looking at the people around, my mind racing if they recognize me or not.
They didn’t seem to, everyone look to be in their own world.
A firm warm hand lands on my thigh, pulling me out of my hassle of thoughts and I turn to him. His eyes are warm, searching mine. Relax baby,”
Ì nod, swallowing as I drop my gaze. He squeezed. “Everything will be okay, we will handle all of this together.”
I took a deep breath, hoping to calm my racing mind and heart. I use the warmth of his touch to anchor me into reality and peeled my eyes open when I feel like I had calmed down enough. I smiled at him grateful that he seem to always help me with simple touches.
He squeezed again and the door behind opens. Kaylee enters followed by Xaden. I can’t help but notice how extremely red Kaylee’s face was flushed. I bit my lip to not giggle.
Ready?” Xaden asked everyone and we all answered yes. As we drove the tension begin to fade and soon we all were comfortable to joke around….
Did you see the look that woman gave you two?” I teased Xaden, turning around in my seat to look at him and Kaylee who looks flushed. She stammers and he snorted.
I thought she’d castrate you right there,” I joked, trying to move the seriousness of our situation off my shoulders by distracting myself.
If I don’t think much of it maybe I’d not feel like a dirty criminal on the run like they have already painted me.
Xaden scowled but I know the look was directed at me but the image he has obviously conjured up in his mind of the woman. “If Dad had not given me that look I would have told her off for disturbing me from my meal. Some people are so rude,” he snarls low.
I sneak a glance at Kaylee and the poor girl is trying to shrink into the seats. I bit my tongue to not laugh and throw my hand over my mouth to cough.
I wasn’t the only one who was sneaking glances at Kaylee. Xaden couldn’t keep his eyes off her and by the twitching of his fingers, I knew that he wanted to touch her and hold her. But he was sweet enough to not overstep since she was so uncomfortable and shy right now.
I turn back to stare at the front, wanting to give the two needed privacy. I can’t help but smile. They remind me of Xade and I. Who would’ve thought Xaden would be so in love? I could have sworn it was just yesterday he was fake gagging at Xade and me.
And now, he could barely keep his hands to himself with Kaylee.
He was happy.
I looked at my mate, the guy I have loved so deeply for years. His features are so beautiful it makes my breath hitch every single time I ogle at him. He was breathtaking. And all mine.
If you keep staring at me like that, you’ll have me risk kissing you right now,” Xade spares me a heated look and my body burns under the intensity.
“I’d like to not be in an accident thank you very much,” Xaden grumbles from behind me.” You two can’t keep your hands and mouths over each other for a damn second,” he scowls but his tone is playful and filled with mirth.
Xade chuckles but then it dies out, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. I draw my eyes to where he was looking and noticed that it was a traffic jam ahead. However, it was not a normal traffic jam.
There were policemen on every side of the road, waving the vehicles down to make them come to a stop. Xade’s knuckles turn white as he gripped the steering wheel hard, the veins straining from his brutal grip.
They’re doing a search,” he snarls and it’s the first time I see his nails turn to claws on the steering wheel, ripping through the material.
