Avery’s pov
Melissa lets out a cry of shock beside me, her hands flying to her mouth in a gasp. “Oh shit.”
Xade doesn’t flinch though and wipes the blood away with the back of his hand and looks over at me before he squares off with his opponent. once again. This time he doesn’t look over at me again and wins the match by a knockout.
As the referee lifts his hand in the air to announce him as the winner, he jerks his hand out and storms out of the ring, heading to the back. Looks like he is pissed off. We should let him calm down before going to him.” Melissa suggested with a wince.
I nod but had no intention of not going over to him. I came here for him anyway, I needed to speak to him. There’s no way I’d let our years of friendship go down the drain like this. We deserved more.
‘I’m just going to use the washroom. I’ll be back.” I made an excuse.
Kyan nods while Melissa asked. ” Want me to go with you?”
I shook my head no and thankfully she doesn’t tag along. It doesn’t take me two minutes to sneak into the back where I find Xade. His head is on the locker and his shoulders are rising and falling quickly.
He stiffens as if knowing it was me.
“Xade?” I called out to him softly. There’s a sound coming from his throat and it sounds weird. I gasp and flinch when he’s suddenly

crossing the room toward me. I press my back to the door, my throat running dry.
His hand slamming just beside my head as he cages me in and I had to tilt my head up to look at him. I gulped. The look in his eyes is wild.” You’re driving me crazy V,” he snarled. My heart speeds up and I try to ignore how the glistening of his sweat on his skin is turning me on.
His nostrils flare and I clench my hands into fists when his head dips and his nose brush against my neck. He breathes in. “F*ck. I don’t like him touching you or the way he looks at you. I don’t like that you reek of him,” he snapped, pulling back as if I had burnt him.
My brows furrow with concern. “Xade?” my voice is soft.
He shakes his head and turns around. ” You should leave.”
“What?” my breath hitches in surprise. He had been avoiding me the entire day, ignored my texts and now he was pushing me away. I won’t
let him.
Planting my feet firmly on the floor I glared at his tense back. “I’m not going leave until we talk Xade!”
The shake of his shoulder as he let out a very dry laugh that made me swallow. “Talk? I don’t want to talk to you right now Avery.”
I flinched, his words landing a blow right to my chest. My throat ached. and I swallowed the lump, my breaths coming out shaky.” What do you mean Xade? You’ve been ignoring my texts, ignoring me like I don’t exist. Look at me.
My lower lip tremble when he doesn’t turn around. “You don’t have the balls to look at me now because you know I am hurt and you hate when I am hurt. You hate it even more when you’re the cause of it.”

I see the strain of his muscles as he clenched his hands into fists. ” Look at me Xade!” I spat angrily.
He whips around, his eyes ablaze with the kind of heat that made me burn where I stood. I gasp as he marched back over to me. “You want me to look at you?” he seethed, making me take a step back but my back hit the surface of the door once more.
“I-
I gasped when Xade hoist me up in his arms, pressing me against the door as he flush his front against me. My eyes widen and instead of pushing him away, my arms wrap around his neck. “Xade,” my breath hitches when I felt the hardness of his length pressing between my legs. My thighs tremble.
Xade’s blues trapped me in a world where it was just the two of us, a world where no one else existed except for us, a world where he and I were two souls that were coming to connect in a way that would leave anyone breathless.
He entrapped me, his eyes pinning me.
You’re addictive,” He
groaned, tilting his head slightly and taking my breath away when his lips land on mine. He swallowed my gasp, his lips moving feverish against mine as if he was desperate and hungry.
But it ends all too soon and I am planted back on my feet with him walking away from me once again. My chest heaves as I try to catch
breath. It may have been quick but it had awaken a fire within me that no one else had ever done before.

Xade,” I gasped, my fingers reaching up to touch my swollen lips that were ravaged by him a second ago.
You should leave now,” he said in a clipped tone and ran a hand.

through his already messy hair.
I frowned. He was pushing me away again. “Xade I-
“Leave Avery! Please!” the loud roar of his voice startled me and I
yelped. Seeing that he was angry, I decided to do as he asked, hoping that after he had calmed down he would talk to me. But that night no one saw a glimpse of Xade.
