The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

I woke up to bright sun rays piercing through the open curtains and to fall on my face.

Blocking it with my hand, I groan to turn to my side to find myself sleeping in something so soft and velvety.

Xavier’s bed.

Shit!

I sprung up to look around in anxiousness.

His room was empty.

Realisation draws in and I sigh to run my fingers through my hair.

Tying my loose locks into a bun over my head I gulp to look beside me.

The bed was made, showing no signs of someone being asleep last night.

But I knew he was here.

Those whimpers, cries, his nightmares.

They were all real.

Tip towing out of the bed, I turn around to clean the sheets and fold the comforter when I hear a pair of footsteps approaching and I freeze.

‘You are still here?”

Came his nonchalant voice and I gulp to wrap my arms around the comforter.

I–I was just leaving.

”

I reply but he barely offered me a glance.

He strides in to walk towards his cupboard.

Ripping it open, he takes out a suitcase and starts throwing clothes into it.

I blink.

To just stare.

Was he leaving?

Where? How many days? When will he be back?

I should be relieved of his absence but rather I was scared.

That man.

What if he returns today? Who will save me if he was to attack again?

Dom.

Yes, I have him.

He will protect me.

Closing the suitcase, he stands in front of the mirror to adjust his shirts top button.

A look of irritation stands plastered on his face.

Turning around.

I was going to walk out when I hear his voice and my steps seize.

Doll”

The authority in his voice made my bones to rattle.

Gulping I turn around to face him.

Y- Yes Alpha”

Come here”

Clenching my fists I walk closer to him.

All this while his eyes refuse to give me enough importance to even acknowledge me.

He was busy getting ready to leave.

I stop at three feets distance from him when he asks me in ant impatient voice.

“Do you know how to tie the knot of a tie?”

I gulp to nod to only find a scoff leave his lips.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Good to know you aren’t that useless after all.

Next I know a tie is thrown on my face and I catch it before it could fall down.

My hands literally tremble in his presence.

Hurry up”

He turns towards me and I take a step closer to him.

His expensive cologne hits me and I hold my breath to look up.

Damn it.

What was he 6’4? And I was barely 5’5

Tiptoeing I try to put the tie around his neck, to no avail.

He was too high.

Biting my lip, I literally jump this time to be successful.

Thank moon goddess.

He was too busy staring at a device in his hands to take note of my embarrassment.

Holding both the ends of the tie, I try to overlap them to be only left disappointed.

I jump once again and this time he looks up from his device.

Crimson shades my cheek as he furrows his brows at me.

“I–just–1”

His jaw hardens at my futile attempt to speak.

And next, before

I know, two strong arms are planted under my thighs and I am lifted up and slammed back on a wall to reach his level.

My heart leaps in my chest as our faces stood inches away, close enough for his discarded breath to kiss my lips.

“Hurry up doll.

I don’t have whole day.

”

His cold emotionless voice sent shivers down my spine and I look down to find my hands shivering as I tie his knot.

Through my lowered eyelashes I could see him staring down at me blankly and it did something weird inside my stomach.

D–Done”

I speak looking up, and our eyes connect.

He was staring at me with a strange expression, his gaze flickering down to my lips and then suddenly in a blink, those pools of steel return.

He abruptly pulls back from me and I come crashing down with my back slamming against the wall to lean down.

Ahh”

He looks down at my body, resting near his feet to only clench his fists.

Picking up his suitcase and adjusting his tie, he walks past me with his last words lingering in the air.

“Try to stay alive in my absence.

”

My ass aches as I try to get up and my eyes sting.

Getting up, I limp out of the room in search for Dom.

He is the only one who can help me.

I need to find him.

Have you seen Dom-”

“I mean Sir Dominic?”

The cleaner looked at me from top to bottom scrunching up her face like I was some garbage.

Walking past, she ignores me and I sigh.

Great.

Even talking without getting humiliated is a task now.

I walk aimlessly when I hear a familiar voice from behind.

He is in the training room.

”

Bella.

I don’t trust her one bit.

Go underground.

Third door to your left.

”

With this she leaves and I just stood in the hallway, lost.

What if he is actually there? What worst could it be?

I start walking down the stairs to reach the specific door.

It was too dark here.

I have seen the training grounds outside yet I have never been to the training room.

Pushing the door, I walk in to find it to be some kind of shower

room.

“He–hello?”

“Is anyone here?”

I look up to see a broad sculpted naked back and my throat suddenly went dry.

A towel was losely hanging around the man‘ s waist and his hair were wet.

He looks over his shoulder and I am stuck by a familiar comforting orbs.

“Dom!”

Sierra? What the fuck are you doing here.

”

My insides finally found respite.

Thank moon goddess he hasn’t left with Xavier.

I admit it or not, everytime he has proved to be my safe heaven.

J

Dom! Thank God I found you! I need to tell you something!”

He turns around and my eyes inadvertent drop lower.

Shit! He is a sculpted Adonis.

Eight pack of abs stare right back at me.

You can’t be here Sierra”

He declares stepping closer to me and I furrow my brows.

Why is he saying this? Has Xavier warned him just like he warned.

me?

“Why? Is it Xavier-”

He sighs to run his fingers through his hair.

Before he could reply a chorus of approaching footsteps and male voices echo around.

Dammit!”

He looks at the door and the next thing I know, he pulls open.

one of the cubicles and pushes me in.

His face was concocted in fear and concern.

“Hold your breath and don’t step out till I ask you to.

Understand?”

I barely nod when the door is slammed shut on my face and I am left trapped in a pitch dark cubicle.

The only light coming in was from the slits in the door.

Within seconds I see the entire room fill in with men.

Very naked men.

They were joking around while I hear my heart thud rapidly in my chest.

I continue to hold my breath when I hear one of them say.

Man.

Have you heard the latest gossip?”

Bark arsehole.

”

One of my bed warmer maids told me that she saw that hideous Silver moon girl step out of Alpha’s room this morning.

She was fast.

Didn’t I say the silent ones open their legs the widest?”

“Indéed.

She is just another whore.

Nothing more.

I wonder if she will be handed over once Alpha gets bored of her.

I would love to fuc-”

His words get silenced down as a loud bang is heard and I see everyone standing in attention as Dominic makes his presence” known.

They lower their eyes immediately.

“S–Sir Dominic.

Good Eveni.

”

One of the men stutters, greeting Dom but Dom’s eyes don’t move from the two men who just commented about me.

He walks towards them and I see them literally shivering.

“She is your fucking Luna! Learn to respect her or I swear I will rip you to shreds right here!”

“I am so–rry Sir.

.

we didn’t mean…”

They apologise but their words have already pierced my heart.

A tear drop slides down my eyes and I bite my hand to silent my cry.

A whore.

He will discard her.

Hideous.

I fail to silent myself.

I flunk as everyone suddenly goes silent.

“I sniff a female here.

”

One of the men says and my heart stops in my chest.

“Yes, I sniff her too.

I see footsteps approaching and my palms press on my mouth.

No… no please this can’t be happening.

A click is heard and I knew there was no escape from this.
