Chapter 237 - The Trip - I

The covers were snatched from her and Adeline woke up with a startle. She sprang up in a sitting position only to find Xavier in front of her with a disappointed look in his eyes. 

"Excuse me?" She glared at him as she pointed to the sheets in his hand. "I don't know what you are used to but that is not how you wake someone up." She snapped and he scoffed. 

"Get ready." He said. 

Adelen narrows her eyes at him. "Why?" But then ended up shaking her head, "No, you know what, give me the sheets back I need to go back to sleep." 

He shook his head with a grim expression on his face, "Adeline you are not going back to bed. Get up and get dressed, we are going." 

"Where?!" She snapped. The lack of sleep and being woken up in an improper way was getting to her. 

"Have you forgotten last night?" He frowned, "we agreed on going to the northern mountains." 

Last night. 

Last night was dinner with the royal family and Adelene felt so exhausted and drained mentally and physically that she was ready for a good night's sleep. 

It was like a massive weight that was lifted off her shoulders when she had arrived in her own bedroom and her sanctuary. 

But there was one thing that he was talking about and she did not agree. She raised a finger as if making a point and said, "I have to remember that I did not say yes." 

He shrugged. " I said I don't care and I won't be taking a no on it." 

" No," she growled, "I sai— wait! Why are you coming—Xavier no!" She started to crawl backwards on the bed but it was unnecessary because he grabbed her foot and dragged her towards him before hosting her up over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. 

"Hey!" She yelled as he started to move out of the room. "Xavier I said put me down!"

"Don't misbehave," he warned as he effortlessly descended the stairs. 

Don't miss behave? Who did he think he was! "Don't tell me to—" she gasped at the stinging sensation she felt on her bum. 

Did he just?! 

"I told you," he said again but now kept a hand on her bum as if warning her, "don't misbehave." 

Well how dare he. 

Adeline looked down and the target was clear. Without waiting for a moment longer she raised her hand and smacked his bum with all her might. 

Xavier stilled. 

Adeline grinned. "Awww . . Is the master the baby now?" She cooed. 

The next thing that happened she could not process because it happened in nanoseconds. Within seconds she was placed back on her feet and was pushed against the wall with his hand behind her head. 

His face was into the crook of her neck and he greedily breathed in the smell. "Don't," he growled soflty and it went directly to her core, "never say that again. I can show you, right now, who is the master." 

Si papi. 

He smirked and shook his head. "Know what? I think you already understand." 

Adelen had not even recovered from what he said before she felt him kneel down only to pick her up again and walked down the stairs. Only this time she was quiet. 

"Are her bags ready?" She heard him ask and craned her neck and back slightly to see who he was talking to. 

"Auntie Tess?" She questioned with a betrayed face, "you were in on this?" 

Tessa's eyes widened slightly, "Uh . . Uh," Tessa looked at her mate and pointed an accusing finger, "he is forcing me to do this!" 

Adeline stared at her aunt as she calmly blinked her eyes. "Really?" 

Tessa nodded. 

"Her bags are already in the car you came in." Korr inform the them and turns to his niece, "adelen I do not care what anyone says to you I want you to be civil to everyone. Is that clear?" 

She shook her head. "But I don't even want to go!" 

"Well," Xavier patted her bum, "we are going so," he turned around and walked out of the door but before he could do that had been held on to it with her hands as tightly as could. 

He stop the when he saw that something was pulling his back and when he turned around his seat and hanging onto the door. "Really? Are we going to be that childish?" 

She nodded her head firmly. 

Xavier slightly shook his head at her childishness before checking one hand off and tickling her stomach amking her giggle ans let go immediately.

Without giving her another chance to hold on to it he moved out of the driveway and jumped on the car as the driver closed the door behind him and took his seat before locking the car from the inside. 

He let Adeline go and she scrambled away from him. This is thing that Adeline was thug on the handle of the door repeatedly before realising that it was locked. "Open it!" She commanded to him. 

He looked at her raised brow before reaching over and grabbing a magazine for himself. 

Adeline fumed at that. She sat on the scene before snatching the magazine out of his thanks and throwing it in front of them at the partition in between them and the driver. 

Xavier reached to his side and pulled out another one, "Here," he offerd her and she took it and repeated what she had done before. 

"Want another?" He asked with an mused expression on his face. 

Adeline scoffed before leaning completely over the seat and pointing her head up up to the roof. "Why are you doing this?" She said in a tired voice as she looked at him.

His play full and full of amusement expression turned into seriousness. "This is my try. This time we try it away from everyone in every other influence." He stated as her eyes got glossy, "this time, I won't let anyone fuck it up."
