The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 69: Sign of Possession

Sera had just finished her bath and changed into the clothes she had prepared for her. I don't know where Xavier got his clothes for him this early, with a size that was very precise with his body without missing a single inch anyway.

It was as if there was a fairy godmother who possessed magical magic power and was able to prepare whatever her needs perfectly and flawlessly.

Sera's hair was still half dry and she immediately combed it carelessly back, then rolled it up in a simple style. Sera did not even bother to dress up and purposely left her face plain without makeup. Just a scrap of lipstick with a natural color that he had time to apply in front of the mirror before stepping out of the room for breakfast.

Luckily Sera had slipped the lipstick into her bag before leaving to attend dinner at Elana's house yesterday. Otherwise, Sera might have to come out with pale lips like a sick person. Only full clothes were prepared for her this morning, there were no cosmetics and perfumes for her there.

It seems that, despite having perfectly prepared his change of clothes, as a man Xavier did not think of cosmetic needs as something important to a woman.

When he came out of the room and looked at the dining table full of various dishes on it, Sera was stunned for a moment before she was finally able to express her protest to Xavier.

This man seemed to have moved most of the hotel's breakfast buffet menu onto this dining table.

All menus, from simple omelets, a wide variety of pastries and croissants, Soupe a l'oignon is a kind of thick beef broth soup with fragrant garlic pieces in it, until a heavy meal like Beef Bourguignon is presented there.

"You ordered all this food just for the two of us?" asked Sera while buying towards Xavier.

Xavier raised an eyebrow as if Sera's question was a stupid question.

"I've been eating while waiting for you to take a shower" he replied guiltlessly. The man raised his chin towards the empty coffee cup in front of him. “All that menu is for you,” connect Xavier with a firm multimatum tone of voice.

Sera. “I'm pregnant, not hungry, you don't have to feed me this much.” Sera stepped closer and sat down on the dining chair that was opposite where Xavier was sitting. His eyes looked at the expanse of food in front of him anxiously. “Obviously I can't spend it alone. I'll just take a few servings from this meal. Maybe you can set aside some menus I can't touch and give them to your men?” he asked with a cautious tone, knowing that if he refused blatantly, it was likely that Xavier would force him to eat or even throw the food in front of his eyes just to irritate him.

Xavier narrowed his eyes, scanning Sera's expression before giving a reply. The man finally decided to avoid confrontation at a time when they were just starting the day and then nodded his head thinly.

“Select which menu you want to eat, I will ask my staff to eat here after you finish breakfast,” break it later.

Sera nodded her head in delight at Xavier's approval. His stomach is hungry even though of course he is not as hungry as it is able to spend all the dishes at the dining table. Take some pastries with soft buttercream filling, omelette cheese and also warm soup that smells tempting sense of smell since. Afterwards, he immediately started eating without caring for Xavier who was still watching him.

“Is such a small portion enough for you? Did you forget that you were pregnant?” Xavier seemed dissatisfied with the portion taken by Sera until the man asked back.

Sera chewed a delicious cheese omelette that melted in her mouth and swallowed it first before saying, “With pregnant does not mean I eat for two people and must eat two servings at a time. What matters is that my nutritional adequacy is fulfilled for me and my baby.”

“Don't forget, most likely not just one that's in your stomach. You have to share nutrition for two babies there.” Stubbornly, Xavier took a large portion of mashed potatoes, vegetables and even pieces of meat for Sera onto the empty plate available, then shifted the plate in front of Sera. “Proteins, vitamins and carbohydrates, are important enough to replenish your energy, right? Besides, we're going to be shopping for baby gear today, so I think you need a lot of energy to support you. Spend it,” his orders in a firm tone.

Sera pursed her lips looking at the large portion that Xavier had taken for her. But, just like Xavier, Sera did not want to start a confrontation in the morning that would ruin her mood all day. Therefore he decided to remain silent and obey, taking what was presented in front of him and devouring him.

Xavier smiled a satisfied smile at Sera's obedient behavior. The man kept silent, observing how Sera was eating voraciously and her smile widened. Sera was really unlike any other women who had been nearby before, they were all always keeping their attitude, trying to be as elegant as possible even when eating food in front of Xavier. The portion of their meal was so small that when they opened their mouths, it was done so carefully that only a few mouths were opened and little food entered. The women seemed to disrespect the food by always leaving the food on their plates in the name of polite and elegant demeanor.

Unlike now, seeing Sera eat voraciously, stick out portion by portion until slippery makes her happy. This woman ate as she should, without the need to wear a pretence mask to make a good impression in Xavier's eyes. After all, Xavier does not like women who are too thin, he likes women with the right fat in certain parts, feels warm, soft, and pleasant to touch with his hands.

Seeing how Sera's appetite is at the moment and knowing that there are two babies in her womb, Xavier is sure that Sera will become a plump pregnant mother with a big belly that is very beautiful.

The thought pleased Xavier, brightening his mood quickly.

“You can still eat voraciously. Don't you have morning sickness and vomiting like most pregnant women?” Xavier couldn't help but ask. Indeed, he has received daily reports from all his employees, as well as seeing for himself from the surveillance camera how Sera fulfills her daily nutritional adequacy by devouring all the healthy menus that the chef provides for her. But still, he wanted to hear what the woman felt from Sera's own mouth.

Sera put down her soup spoon and gulped down the available water beside her, she had already laid down all her food until it ran out, her stomach was full and it affected her mood which instantly improved. That made him able to give a sweet smile to Xavier when he spoke.

“I am still fine until now, I can eat a lot in the morning, noon or night without problems,” he replied in a carefree tone of voice.

Xavier's eyes sparkled. “Is there a menu that makes you nauseous or dislike?” Inwardly, Xavier intends to take notes on his thoughts and inform the chef who works at Sera's house.

“Nothing. I like everything.” Sera shook her head in an excited tone. However, when he realized that he seemed to acknowledge his greed clearly, his cheeks immediately flushed red. “I mean there is almost no menu that I do not like and with this pregnancy, it seems like my appetite has not changed even getting better. Elana said she started vomiting nausea after her gestational age increased at the end of the first trimester, but I really hope I don't experience nausea vomiting like that,” continued later, trying to explain.

Xavier nodded his head, his eyes looking serious as he said, “I also expect the same, Sera. Elana's first pregnancy tormented her until she had to be infused in bed for some time because no food could get into her throat. Akram even had to keep her distance from her because Elana was always nauseous and vomiting every time she was near her husband."

Sera smiled approvingly. Unknowingly, his hand rubbed his stomach, making Xavier's eyes fixate there.

“It seems, the kids inside here really like to eat. I just hope they don't change their mind later.”

Xavier chuckled, his smile softening but he just nodded his head and did not comment anything. The man then glanced at the empty Sera food plates, then asked in a seductive tone.

“Are you really sure you won't spend all the food presented here?” tanyanya.

Sera shook her head quickly. “No. I'm really full. If I eat again, I will not be able to walk because of the satiety,” said with a convincing tone.

“Then we leave now.” Xavier moved from his seat. The man then took the dark brown coat he had prepared for Sera, before then stepping behind Sera.“I'll help you put on your coat. Weather forecasts say that today will be quite cold and windy due to the rest of the massive storm that hit last night. You must wear warm clothes so as not to fall ill.”

With Sera standing up, and without Sera being able to refute, Xavier immediately helped to attach the coat from behind Sera's body.

After Xavier finished helping Sera put on her coat, unexpectedly, the man suddenly bent his body until his breath felt warm behind Sera's nape, the man suddenly gave a form of hot kiss in the softness of Sera's nape, making Sera gasp for twinkling like an electric shock that spread through her body. Sera was about to turn her head and protest, but Xavier's hand suddenly moved touching her hair, removing the hair roll behind Sera's head and unraveling it.

Both of Xavier's hands landed on Sera's shoulders and squeezed her gently from behind, the man then lowered his head back until his head was once close to Sera's ears, whispering seductively while exhaling hot breaths there.

“Evenings when we make love, I leave a mark of kiss on your neck when it bites you there,” whispered with a raucous and sensual voice. “If you roll your hair up, the marks will be very visible. I might not mind showing off my mark on your skin, but I don't want you to feel ashamed later when people look at you,”.

Sera's eyes widened, as the woman turned her body and moved her hand to rub the back of her neck. It felt a little painful there that he had not noticed before. Sera's face was instantly crimson when the memory lurch of their hot romance last night instantly unfolded in her imagination, making her remember how possessive Xavier was last night when growling and biting her nape while taking Sera to the peak of enjoyment.

Holy hooch! It could be that the man left a bite mark and a hot kiss on his nape on purpose!

Sera immediately raised her head, looking at Xavier with a slightly reproachful angry look.

“Why did you leave a sign in a visible place?” angry while grumbling.

Xavier chuckled, the man stepped back, then took his own dark-colored coat and put it on.

“Can-can be you.. It's not so, I mean..”.

Sera's chaotic sentence stopped because Xavier suddenly pulled her into an embrace, then looked up to Sera and kissed her lips with a very deep and hot pressure. The man took a sip of the sweet tenderness from Sera's lips to his fullest, swallowing the entire sentence that was about to be thrown from Sera's lips until it was all gone.

After that, Xavier raised his head with a twinkle of contentment. His thumb rubbed the moist lower lip Sera kissed, while his lips untangled a wide grin as if feeling victorious.

“If only Credence Evening had seen you in this condition, with their lips softened and eyes softened passionately after I kissed, he will definitely retreat instantly knowing that you have been conquered by me and there is no chance for him to infiltrate.”

Xavier spoke with a hoot and the man seemed not to want to hear Sera's rebuttal to the one-sided claim he was proud of, pulled Sera's body into the embrace, then the woman entered the elevator to get out of the place.

“Akram!”

Elana seemed to run to her husband who was sitting on the sofa while sipping his coffee. Opposite him, Credence sat down and did the same. The two men were enjoying their morning coffee before leaving for work.

The sound of Elana's passionate calling certainly made Akram turn his head. His eyes widened when he saw the haphazard attitude of Elana who half scattered towards him. Anxiously, the man immediately stepped off the sofa, stepped quickly over, then embraced Elana into his arms.

“Cautious.” Akram spoke in a serious tone. His frown was staring at Elana with warning. “Did you forget you were pregnant? You can fall if you run around like that.”

“I know, I know. I will be careful,” Elana agreed quickly as if impatient to tell Akram, her smile widened while her eyes sparkled happily when she spoke later. “You know, Xavier called me.”

“She also called me and said won't be coming to the company for some time. Why did he call you too?” Akram frowned deeper and deeper, staring curiously.

“That's it!” Elana chuckled slowly. “You know, it looks like last night's work. Xavier and Sera spent the night together, and thanks to Credence offering to take us shopping for baby gear, Xavier today decided to drop Sera off on her own shopping for baby gear. She called me and asked me where the address of the baby equipment boutique I was subscribing to, today she will take Sera there to shop.”

“Xavier did that? I didn't expect it, it was like an impossibility. Isn't the boutique where you two plan to buy baby supplies for you to visit, located in a downtown shopping mall?” Credence, who had been sitting on the sofa and listening silently to the conversation between Akram and Elana, could not help but talk. The wrinkles on his forehead became as deep as Akram. “Xavier we know is very avoid crowd, he does not like to interact with strangers, and also often refuses to appear at events that require him to face many unknown people.”

“Maybe she is jealous of you so she takes an impulsive stance.” Elana answered with a passionate tone. “You know, all this time I felt that for Xavier, Sera was a special female figure. Maybe he harbors feelings for Sera, but doesn't want to admit it.” Elana's eyes shone with sadness as she continued. “Xavier seems to think his illness is a restraint to get a chance to be happy. He always held back because of his illness. He even refrained from claiming his ownership to Sera. But thanks to you, Credence. You seem to be cultivating the possessive side that Xavier has been suppressing all along. Even for Sera's sake, she was willing to do things she had never done before.”

“Yeah, at least everything goes according to its path.” Akram seemed to hold back a smile seeing how happy and how excited Elana was. The man could not help but bend down and kiss his wife's lips softly, no matter if there was Credence there who could clearly see their kiss.

When Akram freed Elana's lips from her pagutan, Elana immediately stepped back with a red face extinguished in shame, one hand covered the mouth that had been softly tucked by her husband.

“Akram!” Elana whispered a sentence full of warning, looking at Akram with a denouncing look. The tip of his eyes glanced slightly at Credence who was blatantly staring at them without even wanting to be a little polite by turning his face away.

Akram chuckled, embraced by his wife who was away, then presented again kiss on the forehead Elana with affection. Akram's eyes then turned towards Credence and looked at the man full of warning.

“We men, if you have found one of the most special women, then, then our souls will be tempered with a savage possessiveness that makes us will not hesitate to dispel anyone who tries to interfere with our ownership of our beloved girl.” Akram spoke in a gesture towards Credence. “You certainly agree with me too, don't you?”

Credence replied with the same grin. “I won't bother your Elijah, Akram. You certainly know my principles, I don't like to interfere with other people's property. But, for Serafina Moon's case to be different, I'm willing to break the few rules I've applied to myself before, in order to make Xavier realize his own feelings.” Credence glanced at his watch, then looked towards Elana with a wide smile full of gentleness. “Akram has to go to work now, but as I said yesterday, I have quite a lot of time all day. So, when are we leaving?”

Elana frowned being asked like that, she looked up, gazing towards Akram, but Akram shrugged, equally unaware of the meaning of Credence's question.

“Depart to where?” Elana asked back, asking for clarity.

Credence grinned, this time there was a gleam in his eyes that seemed to sparkle with anticipation, as if impatiently waiting for what would happen later. “I told you that I'd take you in place of Akram to shop for baby gear, right? I guess, if we leave now, I still have a chance to meet your beloved partner.” The man's lips untied a meaningful smile. “Didn't you say that I had to constantly pour fuel into the flames in Xavier's heart for the man to explode, then realize to maintain what is actually already in his grasp and wait to be appreciated? I've been willing to give you guys a hand, and if I've been determined to give you a hand, then I'll do it in full force.”

Credence suddenly chuckled as he imagined what would happen later when things went according to his prediction. “I can't wait to see how much Xavier will get angry when I see me show up at that baby equipment boutique and interrupt his messy moments with Serafina. I think we better go now so we can get ahead of Xavier and Serafina.”
