Chapter 12- Watching, and Patiently Waiting, pt. 3: Xavier

Xavier Donzenza lay in bed, sound asleep. He was deep in his dreams, dreaming about his potential mate.

Eve.

All he could think about was Eve. Her naivety, her ultimate fear of everything, and her beauty entranced him, and he wanted more.

No, he didn't just want more of her, he needed more of her. She was everything he wanted—beautiful, sweet, innocent, kind, caring, and loving.

She was also a virgin, which made him smile even more. He definitely could work with Eve and break her in his sick, twisted way of dominating his women.

Eve was definitely all that and more. This was enough to make the second eldest Nightwalker a very happy demon, and he was indeed happy to be blessed with finding his mate in the 32nd century.

Xavier began to dream about the time he waited for her to return home after working her job at the inn. She had worked an 8 hour shift, from 11-7, and was bound to want to relax when she settled herself back in her apartment. He had situated himself inside her closet, with the door opened just a crack, just the way she liked it, and watched as she busied herself around her room.

It was then that he became fascinated with the sight before him. Eve was amazingly beautiful, and he found that he couldn't stop staring. Her eyes were a sparkling shade of gray with blue specks, which he found to be attractive. She also had all her curves in the right places, which he also liked. He felt his eyes glow red at the sight of her, and also began to feel an ever present erection begin to strain against the leather pants he was wearing. Suppressing a growl of pleasure, he continued to watch her.

Xavier had watched as Eve climbed into bed with her book of Shakespeare's best works, and begin to read. Ah, he murmured, fascinated by her love of reading. So she likes Shakespeare. When she is mine, I will make sure this room has all of his works for her to read.

He also knew she hated to work till closing because of her fear, but he couldn't help it that he wanted to test how easily she frightened. Using nothing but his mind, he willed an empty plastic cup from the kitchen to float towards her room, and allowed it to drop in front of her door. She had looked up in surprise, but didn't bother to move because she thought it had been Cassie who accidentally dropped it and was back in the kitchen getting paper towels to clean the mess.

Xavier suppressed a laugh while he watched the entire scene.

Damn it, he hissed. That was to frighten her, not surprise her. He disappeared into a cloud of black smoke soon after he watched the surprised expression on Eve's face.

Having slept for a rather long time that night, Xavier awoke feeling that he could successfully frighten Eve before he had her brought to him at the Sacrifice. If he remembered right, Damian and Hunter were going to talk to the city elders about their potential mates. He allowed himself a few more minutes to lay in bed, then rose from the bed, tossed on a fresh shirt and his trenchcoat, and disappeared into the night in his cloud of smoke towards Eve's apartment to get a fresh start on watching her again.

"Soon, my darling Eve," he said to himself. "Soon I will have you, and I will NEVER let you go. Ever."
