The Essence Of The Darkness
EOTL eps 60: Back to Track

As soon as the bedroom door in one of the rooms closed behind their bodies, Xavier wasted no more time. The man threw his stick and let it fall on the thick carpet of the hotel, next to his hand and then pulled Sera's arm which he still held. The snapping of Sera's arm gently and firmly so that Sera's body was immediately slammed, crashing into her chest.

Before Sera could utter any sentence, Xavier's hands quickly cupped the sides of his left and right cheeks. Then, his thumb shifted gently to open Sera's lower lip, and in an instant, implanted her lips there. The kiss was completely selfish. Xavier took a gentle sip of his heart and enjoyed the taste of the essence of longing that had been held up for so long.

The pleasure that instantly hit him made Xavier involuntarily groan. His body moved and reversed its position. He pressed Sera so that the woman leaned against the wall, trapped in the grip of his arm. Meanwhile, their lips were still clingy and Xavier's body urged Sera tightly, not giving the woman a chance to escape.

Xavier sipped all Sera's sense of self, taking as much as he gave, cradling the woman with the skill of a peerless kisser. Until finally, when the lips that mutually satisfy each other in a form of hungry relationship full of desire was finally released.

Xavier's breathing panted, blowing hot steam from his lips that were still attached to Sera's lips, as if unwillingly letting go. Xavier opened his desire-filled eyes and stared straight into Sera's equally misty eyes, lulled by her experienced kissing skills. The woman was definitely swept away in the same desire as her.

"You feel so good." Xavier kissed Sera's lips and interrupted her with a soft, seductive bite. "I want to devour you round and round" he roared, overcome with desire.

Xavier's words sent hot flashes that reached all of Sera's blood vessels, hardening in their flow, making her heart beat even harder.

"Dan-Xavier...." As the man begins to disarm her, Sera's quivering lips are finally able to say the word, trying to attract the attention of Xavier who seems too overpowered by passion. The man had finished unbuttoning Sera's dress, then took down the cloth covering her shoulders. Her lips followed later, giving off a hot peck there, leaving traces of her undisputed possession all over the soft surface of Sera's skin.

"Shhh...." Xavier hissed the signal so that Sera did not argue, the man bit a little, flirting with an attitude of belonging. Her lips smiled in satisfaction when she felt that Sera's body was trembling under her touch. "Don't fight what your body wants, baby. Don't you feel the same as I do? The bodies of the two of us fit together perfectly, as if you were created to satisfy me and I was created to please you."

Without waiting for Sera's reaction, Xavier then moved backwards while holding Sera's hand, taking the woman step with him towards the bed. The man then sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Sera who was still standing close to him to enter between his open thighs. Xavier's hand clasped Sera's waist, while her face looked up, looking at Sera with a faint gaze of seducing eyes.

"I told you I'd entertain you, right?" Xavier grinned widely. The man took Sera's hand and brought her to his hot lips, giving her a soft kiss on the wrist. Afterwards, Xavier brought Sera's hand to her chest, sticking Sera's trembling fingers against the smooth surface of her shirt cloth.

"You know, I really want to do a lot of things to you, unfortunately my body condition is not possible." Xavier's words sounded soft, flowing and seductive in Sera's ears. "I have promised that this time you will be free to use my body as your comfort. That means, this time it's you who should lead our love." Xavier's eyes narrowed, filled with desire as the man resumed his sentence. "I'll guide you, maybe.. You can start by taking my shirt off?"

It was late at night, but Dr. Nathan still drowned himself in his study. Almost a full night he busied himself by helping several emergency cases in the ER, until unknowingly time had passed and before dawn. Because tomorrow morning he had to be in the hospital again, Doctor Nathan finally decided not to go home, choosing to rest by sleeping on the sofa of his study only for the sake of practicality.

But when entering his study, the blood test sheet that was still wide open on his desk had attracted his attention so that made Doctor Nathan undo the intention to lie on the sofa. The man even slammed his body sitting in a large chair in front of his desk to relearn the blood test sheet.

It was impossible for Sera to not be pregnant. Doctor Nathan frowned as he reread the results of Sera's blood test which was plastered on the large table in front of him.

Both blood test results taken within a one-week distance range both state negative results alias Sera is not pregnant. The negative result is expressed based on the amount of HCG hormone in Sera's blood that does not meet the minimum number to be declared contain.

But there is still something that bothers him. Because, how could Sera not succeed in conceiving? Wasn't the woman given fertility drugs and Xavier had also confirmed that they were both doing intercouse at the right time, which was during the fertile Sera?

What's wrong?

Doctor Nathan tilted his head, carefully studying the numbers before him. There was nothing wrong with Sera and Xavier. Even in his condition suffering from aplastic anemia, Xavier is still able to produce cells******good quality in sufficient quantities. Likewise with Sera, the woman has a healthy egg with a normal size that is ready to be fertilized.

It may not be the factor that makes the result negative, but the time chosen by Doctor Nathan is not right. Sera's blood sampling time may be too fast so that the amount of HSG hormone that should be detected a lot at the time of fetal placenta formation, it has not been fully accumulated and has not met the minimum standard of positive results on the pregnancy test.

She could have done a re-pregnancy test, because, she still has the latest blood sample has Serafina. Just in case in preparation for Sera's next pregnancy, Nathan's doctor did continue to take blood samples Sera regularly. Even up to yesterday, Sera's blood sampling continues to be carried out by his men who are deliberately sent to Xavier's house to take Sera's blood every three days. The original goal was only to do a TORCH test to ensure Sera's body is free from all viruses and diseases so that it can be a truly healthy container to contain her child later.

Should he just follow his instincts and do what he has in mind?

Dr. Nathan weighed in, and then he picked up the phone and called the assistant head of the laboratory he knew was there night vigil.

“I'd like to ask you to do a re-pregnancy test on the available blood samples…." Nathan's doctor immediately gave instructions quickly, deciding to remove the wedge and curiosity in his heart by doing a repeat blood test to Sera.

Xavier got carried away.

It was early morning when Xavier was still staring at the ceiling of the hotel room where he was lying on his back at the moment. His body was tired after their umpteenth romance, but his eyes refused to sleep, wide open because it was blocked by various complicated thoughts that contaminated his brain.

Inside the arms, Sera lay tight, sound asleep with her cheeks firmly pressed against her bare chest, on the opposite side of the puncture scar there that was still fully blown away.

The woman immediately fell asleep after their last romance, as tired as she was.

Thinking about how they had stepped into the new experience in their romance variation earlier made Xavier involuntarily grinned happily. Sera has learned so much to please her, satisfying Xavier that she may never be able to fuck another woman without imagining Serafina Moon as her partner.

Xavier's fingers rubbed Sera's back and arm gently and brought the woman closer to him. His other hand then moved to pull the blanket to cover Sera's body, protecting her from the cold room that made the surface of Sera's skin feel cold.

Their romance feels fun and can release the frustration that accumulates in the soul of the man because he refrains from touching Sera since her return from the hospital. But, somehow his mind did not want to feast and dissolve in that satisfying happiness. There is something that whispers disturbing, hissing warning that Xavier has made a grave mistake by breaking the boundary line he has determined himself.

Xavier let out a long sigh, feeling the dizzy feeling of his head that made his hand automatically press against the base of his nose to get rid of the dizzy feeling.

In his entire life, Xavier was never defeated by emotions of feeling so he carried out impulsive actions that violated the scenario he had set like today.

He just wanted to get rid of the cry from Sera's face by offering her body without thinking to make the woman forget her pain. That's exactly what he did. Throughout the night until the eve of this morning, they forget themselves, forget time and forget everything, dissolve in a love that seems endless. Their body's match of give and take when combined to satisfy each other's desires is truly astounding.

If Xavier had not been enduring the pain of a puncture scar on his chest that had not healed properly, they might have been making love until the light of the ground greeted the earth.

However, it was not love that was a problem for Xaver, but rather what was stirring in his soul after he satisfied himself touching his wife.

Using his body to comfort Sera? Who is he really trying to lie to? Himself?

Because right now, it is not Sera who gets comfort from their romance, but instead Xavier who gets comfort after hugging the woman.

His closeness to Sera made him want more, making him expect back a glimmer of light he was determined to forget and that left him terrified.

Xavier is known to have quite a lot of guts. You could say because he was not afraid of death, then he was not afraid of anything and anyone. It was sad because it turned out that this tiny figure in his arms had managed to scare him to death.

The whole plan is screwed up and Xavier isn't sure he can fix it tomorrow morning. He had made a plan to be mean to Sera, desperately trying to make her hate him. He has also been determined to keep Sera away from him, both physically and emotionally, she said, so it will be easier for the two of them to keep their distance and prevent emotional closeness that makes them both so bonded deeper. He struggles to smooth his way apart from Sera. For eternity.

He should have kept their relationship on track: a transactional relationship based on the interest of returning the favor and benefiting from each other.

Unfortunately, tonight has changed everything. Tonight, Xavier has lost the line of determination that fortifies his feelings.

Xavier sighed deeply, his expression hardening as the man thought hard.

No. gabe. He cannot be tempted. His path was already determined to meet the end as soon as he could. Xavier was already preparing to let the darkness of death embrace him. He will not allow himself to be seduced again to try to reach for the light. He will no longer be tempted to try to achieve the happiness that is highlighted by the determination of the spirit of life.

His body is no longer strong. Xavier was ready to die, unconditionally, without burden, without looking back.

Xavier's hand immediately moved to reach his cellphone which was lying just like that on the nightstand next to the bed. He immediately contacted the butler at his house and gave a series of strict instructions of an urgent nature.

***

“Good morning.”

When Sera opened her eyes, she immediately looked at him with an unusually handsome face that was smiling grinning towards her. Xavier looked fresh with wet hair and neat clothes, quite the opposite of Sera who was disheveled and unclothed under her blanket.

Did the guy shower?

The thought caught Sera's attention and made her frown. He immediately pushed his body to sit on the bed, making his blanket that covered his naked body almost sag to the waist if only Sera did not hold it with both hands.

Xavier shook his head slightly, then looked at Sera meaningfully.

“You know, to wash an affordable area I can do it. But to keep my bandage dry, I cannot. I called the nurse from the hospital to help me take a shower and change my bandage. The nurse had left after completing her task.”

Xavier's answer made Sera's eyes widen. "You're calling a nurse to this room?" shaken surprised.

Xavier chuckles. "I'm calling a female nurse, a senior nurse old enough to be both of us mothers." Xavier's hand moved to cupper Sera's flushed red cheek and rub it gently. "In addition, the nurse is only in the living room area of the hotel room and may not be aware of you in this room."

Their own room is a presidential suite room that is very large, almost the size of an apartment with three spacious rooms as facilities. The three rooms consist of a living room that connects to the kitchen and dining room. While the most spacious room with a sturdy wall border is the bedroom where Sera is half sitting at the moment. The door to the bathroom itself can be accessed from two sides, from the living room as well as from the bedroom.  

This hotel room has very guaranteed privacy, and that is not what Sera has in mind at the moment.

“That's not what I mean. You should have just woken me up. I-I can replace your bandage and help you shower." Sera offered with a sincere attitude, but, somehow her cheeks even reddened when saying that sentence.

It was as if he was offering Xavier something sensual instead of offering help.

There was a lustful glint in Xavier's eyes when he saw the adorable red pseudo on Sera's cheeks. But, for some reason in Sera's eyes now, the man looked even colder and kept his distance this morning. It was very different from yesterday when Xavier seemed to let go of the limit and become freer when satisfying himself by touching Sera.

“I don't want to trouble you." Xavier spoke with thin lips and without expression. The man watched Sera deeply before saying a word back. "After all, I have to get used to not depending on you. Because you won't be with me in the future.”

Xavier's sentence sounded meaningful, and it left Sera frowning in confusion.

“What do you mean?" tanyanya.

Xavier who was standing near the bed put his hand in his pocket and cleared his throat as if uncomfortable.

“I think you're okay now, right? How you feeling?" ask her with caution.

Sera looked at Xavier's face with her wide eyes, as soon as she realized that the man was talking about Aaron's humiliation incident that crushed her to tears yesterday.

Sera slowly looked at herself, trying to find answers to what her deepest heart was feeling. He looked around for the pain that incised the gape, but there was no finding of the pain. As if, Xavier's romance and consolation last night had patched his wounds, making his broken heart because of Aaron's evil attitude so not as painful as before.

“I... is fine." Sera nodded slowly. His eyes watched Xavier's dark expression and he then spliced his sentence with a cautious tone. "Thank you.”

Back Xavier grinned, not hiding his complacent attitude. "good. I'm glad I could help you. If you can let Aaron go completely, then now you can focus on getting ready to run the deal between the two of us." Xavier watches over Sera who looks so beautiful in disheveled conditions and only wears a blanket to cover her naked body.  The man hardened his molars, resisting the strong urge to rush into bed and make love again to the woman.

No. gabe. Xavier had it all planned out. Maybe last night he was off track, but this morning, it will be certain that everything will return to its original path.

“Prepare. I'll take you today" he said then in a cold tone, grinding from between his tightly clenched molars.

“Introducing me?" Sera seemed to think for a moment, then after finding her own answer, her face became radiant. "We're going to see my dad?" it was full of anticipation. The woman was instantly filled with vigor, as if her body was being ignited by a burning flame. Sera rushed down from the bed while wrapped around the blanket on her naked body, her steps looking light, bouncy as if about to scatter towards the bathroom.

Xavier nodded his head, trying hard to keep his cold demeanor despite Sera's spirited demeanor almost extending a smile on his lips.

“Yes. We'll go see your father, but first I'll take you to see your own house" he said flatly later.

Sera who was about to reach the bathroom door immediately stopped her steps when she heard Xavier's sentence. The woman turned her head, looking at Xavier with her eyes smeared in confusion.

“To my own home?" the question was quick, voicing curiosity.

Which house? Hasn't his house been burned and razed to the ground? Could it be that Xavier has rebuilt his house?

Xavier's eyes narrowed and his expression looked cruel when he said.

“I have prepared a house for you, in accordance with the agreement we have agreed before. A house with complete facilities for yourself." Xavier looked at Sera coldly. "I think it's time we follow the agreement in our agreement not to interfere in each of our lives and only meet at the time of conception and at the birth of your child." Xavier said firmly, giving an undeniable ultimatum. "The servants have packed all your clothes and personal belongings and sent them to the new house that has been prepared for you. From today, you get out of my house and stay in your own house.”
