Chapter 9: She's a goddess

-Heather's POV

Knock Knock Knock

I am standing outside Luca's home playing with the hem of my dress. Cami had decided to make me dress up so I could show off for the "hunk of a man" as Cami refers to him. I still giggle remembering how she rummaged through my closet. She decided on a dark navy dress with a floral design and some nude heals.

"I got it!" I hear Luca's voice through the door. I smile while he throws open the door. He is standing there in a cute little button down shirt and khakis. "Angel!"

I lean down and hug him tightly kissing his head. "Hey my lil man!"

"You look pretty!" I smile at the cutie and give him a gentle thank you. I stand straight up to see Leo coming up behind him. He smiles brightly at me.

"Miss Heather, let me lead you to the living room." He gestures his hand towards the living room. I follow him with Luca still holding my hand. I walk into the room to have Luca pull me towards the window to show me the view. I begin to look outside when I hear someone clear their throat behind me. I turn around to see Xavier standing at their door frame looking me up and down. I blush slightly and look down to see if there is something on my dress.

I slowly lift my head back up to look at him. He is wearing dark blue jeans and a white button down shirt that are rolled up to his elbows showing his tanned arms. His striking blue eyes standing out against the shirt. I finally look up to his face to see him still looking at me. I feel a tug at my arm and look down at Luca who is now pulling me towards the couch. I go and sit down beside him as he begins to show me some action figures. I can still feel his eyes on me but I try to remain relaxed.

-Xavier's POV

"I got it!" I hear Luca yell running towards the front door. I look at the watch but it's only 5 o'clock. "Angel!"

I sigh and look my self over one more time before walking down the stairs. Leo gestures towards the living room so I turn into it and stop abruptly playing with the sleeve. Standing by the window is the beauty that has haunted me for the past few days. Her beautiful long blond hair is slightly curled and she is wearing a short floral dress. Her tan legs on full display while the dress is hugging all her sensational curves. I could feel the tightening in my pants. I clear my throat gaining her attention.

She turns around causing the dress to swirl with her. I keep staring at her. I can see the pink in her cheeks but past that she has minimal makeup on and still looks better than any woman I have ever seen. I can feel her gawking at me but I suppress from smirking. I see Luca pulling her over to the couch to sit down. She smiles and allows him to drag her while he shows her his action figures.

"Miss Drake, it's good to see you again." I say walking over to her. She stands up to shake my hand. I take it and rub the back of her hand with my thumb. I look into her deep blue eyes and can't look away.

"It's nice to see you as well Mr. Sanford." She sits back down as I sit down across from her. I watch as my son leans into her and she wraps her arm around him. Like a true mother... This is such an aphrodisiac, it's better than any liquor. She is such a sight to see.

"How have you been?" I ask still watching her intently.

"I've been well. How bout you?"

"Busy." She nods her head at me while her hand gently rubs Luca's head. "Luca has missed you."

"I've missed him too but I had some things that I needed to take care of." She's being evasive but I won't give up trying.

"So Miss Drake, are you ready for class tomorrow?" She smiles brightly at me before looking at Luca.

"Yes, I will be excited to see what kind of students I end up with. I wish Luca was in my class." She side hugs him. If she only knew I already had them change that.

"Where did you study your teaching degree?" She stiffens slightly but attempts to clear her throat to calm her nerves.

"Actually I went to Oxford."

"That's quite a school." I say leaning forward. She nods her head. "Did you study anything else?"

"Business."

"Any particular reason for such different areas of studies?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"My family wanted me to learn business but I have a passion for children." She says smiling down at Luca who is busy playing with his action figures. "How bout yourself Mr. Sanford?"

"I went to Stanford."

"That's quite a school." She grins with a twinkle in her eyes throwing my words back at me. Damn that's sexy...

"I wanted to become something big."

"Well clearly that you did." She said but didn't seem impressed. I begin to stand up to move over to her when Theo comes bustling in.

"Honey, I'm home!" He sings walking into the room. Luca jumps off the couch and runs to hug him surprising Theo. He still hugs him back while Heather stands up from her seat. She is now standing right in front of me and I can smell the sweet vanilla coming off of her. Fuck, how bad I wanted to lean forward and place my head in the crook of her neck. "Holy shit" I hear Theo whisper under his breath. I look up to see him staring wide eyed at Heather. I instinctively put my hand on the side of her waist. Theo sees my hand and his gaze automatically turns into smirk looking at me. "You must be Angel."

He walks up to Heather and puts his hand out for her. I feel her reach out for his hand but I don't release her from my side. She fits perfectly to my side. She fits to me as if she was meant to be there. I look down at her and notice she is not pulling away from me and not resisting which causes me to smirk. I look back up to realize that Theo is smiling smugly at me.

"Well Heather, it is wonderful to finally meet you. I feel like you are all I have been hearing about." I glare at him while Heather tilts her head looking confused. "Luca just raves about you."

"Well he is incredible. I apologize but are you two related?" She says pointing between us. I shake my head.

"No Angel, this lil guy is my nephew by choice but this brute is my best friend." He says gesturing towards me.

"Angel, come with me! I want to show you my room before dinner!" Luca says pulling Heather by her hand and out of my grasp. She giggles at him but allows him to pull her. I fist my hand to resist reaching back out to put her back by my side. I watch as her beautiful figure jogs away. I get nudge on the shoulder and finally pull my gaze away to see Theo grinning.

"Dude, you could have told me when I asked how she looked that I would be walking in to a goddess." I glare at him and he holds his hands up.

"She is OFF limits to you." I grit through clenched teeth.

"Possessive much." He rolls his eyes at me. "I'm just saying I can see why you were short fused for last few days. She puts your previous conquest to shame." I can't help but agree with him. "Have you found out anything about her yet?"

"She's been straight forward with her answers so far but will see. So far I have only asked her about her schooling." He nods at me as Tessa walks in to the living room to let us know that dinner is prepared.

"Go get your girl man." He pats my back and walks towards the dining room as I head up towards Luca's room. I peer in to see her sitting on the ground while Luca shows more of his toys to her. She's smiling at him taking in everything he is saying. I smile while knocking on the door and walking in.

"Luca, go wash up. It's time for dinner." He runs by me and I walk over to Heather to help her up. I reach out both my hands and she takes them to pull herself up. I tug a little too hard and she falls against my chest. I can feel her small hands on my stomach and her chest pressed against mine. My hands automatically going to her waist. God she feels so good. I look at her dark ocean blue eyes that are looking back and forth between my eyes and lips. I slowly lean in towards her head and see she is gently lifting her head up. I can almost taste those lips...

"Angel, come on!" Luca says coming back in. She stands back abruptly and shakes her head. I take a deep breath to regain my racing heart rate. I groan walking out of the room.

God Damn it!
