A night to remember (Xavier)

[Lexandra]

It was a special night whether he knew it or not but probably not and that was okay. Most guys didn't remember those sorts of things but Lexi had spent a week trying to make this perfect. She had worked very hard planning out the entire evening and working to make the dinner that was now filling her dorm with the sweet smells. Drake her puppy was being quiet upon penalty of death to ruin the evening.

When she and Xavier got to the dormitory she smiled as she pulled him close. Her left hand reaching for the door unlocking it as she kissed him rather deeply. He meant the world to her and tonight was just one night where she planned to show it to him. When she broke the kiss she gave him a wink.

"Wait here for just one moment okay?" she asked.

Pushing him back she slipped into the room with a flourish of her skirt closing the door behind her. She stirred the things on the stove and checked the timer on the food in the oven. Not too much longer now. She smiled. The room was the same as always but that wasn't where it mattered this evening.

Lexi stepped out on her large balcony and began lighting the candles. On the balcony was a small table set for two ready for a romantic evening. But more than that was the spanish theme everywhere. The table cloth was white linen and blew in the soft breeze while roses lay across the table in the center surrounding the candle sticks. The soft glow would allow them to see each other in the darkness when the sun gave way to night.

Right now the sun was already setting making it all the more romantic. Soft music played in the background of a spanish flare but soft and sweet. Like a melody on a warm summer day. The bed was made so that the sheets could not be seen. A small box lay on the plate that would be Xaviers when he sat down. Inside was a gift she made and worked on for the last month just for him and she could only hope that he liked it.

Finishing with the candles she returned to the door and opened it taking his hand she led him to the balcony and his seat. With a kiss she pushed him down gently in his seat.

"Happy one month anniversary, my love." she whispered and blushed deeply before taking her own seat.

[Xavier]

Xavier had a soft smile on his face the whole walk up to her dorm room. This was definitely a surprise for him, he always thought Lex wasn't really into the romantic stuff. Once again, however, she had surprised him and caught him off guard. He returned her kiss as she opened the door. Xavier chuckled gently at the wink as she told him to wait for just a moment and then slipped into the room. He grinned as he noticed the way flourished teasingly as she slipped him in the room, she really knew how to push his buttons.

He had a feeling he knew what it was for, they had been together for roughly a month now. He had actually rememebered and that was actually the reason he had returned earlier than she had expected from his "hunting trip". It was just a cover so he could get out by himself to get her a gift. He figured she'd be the type to get annoyed with him he forgot stuff like this so he figured he'd always buy a gift on landmark occassions just in case.

His smile grew wider as she took his hand and led him to the balcony. She had certainly gone all out for this, a candle-lit dinner, the music. Xavier smiled appreciatively, no one had ever gone out of their way to prepare something like this for him. Then he noticed the box on his plate, a gift, he picked it up with a bright smile. Boy was he was glad that he had decided to get her something.

"Lex you really are amazing you know that?" he asked with a grin as he slipped a small gift box out of his pocket and set it down on her plate, "You probably thought I'd forgotten didn't you?" he asked as he watched her with an excited grin, "Go on, open yours first..."

[Lexandra]

She had really figured that he wouldn't have remembered and saw the look on his face when he saw his own gift. She blushed when he pulled out a small box and set it on her plate. She looked up at him and bit her lower lip in surprise. Before opening it she moved to him and kissed him for a long time.

Several minutes passed before she finally broke the kiss. It had been very passionate one of those ones that made your heart beat fast and your body want things that it wasn't yet time for. She picked up the gift and sat down in her seat as she ran her long solar nails freshly gotten and very unlexi like through the paper. Taking it off neatly she sat it aside and took the top off the box.

A gasp was heard as she looked at the pendant he had gotten her. It was perfect. Never in her life had someone thought hard and long enough to find something like this just for her. The thought that had gone into it was touching. She carefully took it out and ran her thumb over it as tears fell down her face. Reached back she clasped it around her neck. She knew that she would never take it off.

She stood up slowly as she wiped her face and smiled. She smiled brightly and happily as she was so pleased with what he had gotten her.

His own gift was something special. She had tooled leather to make him a collar. And not just any collar but one that he could wear while human that would expand with magic when he transformed so that it wouldn't choke him. It was black leather and on the front had a small white gold area that said 'Xav' in elegant script. She hoped it would be demeaning but she didn't think that his jewelry would go well between dog and human so this seemed appropriate.

"Open yours." she said wiping the last of her tears away.

[Xavier]

He returned her kiss with a smile and an equal amount of passion. It was one of the kisses that made his knees buckle gently and he could feel a familiar tingle travel down his spine. Xavier wasn't sure if he was going to make it through dinner at this point. A few more kisses like that and he would lose his appetite rather quickly. Who needed food when he could taste her?

"I'm glad you like it," he said softly with a bright smile. He had actually been pretty nervous about where she was going to like it or not. But apparently he had done rather well, picking out the gift he had picked. Xavier had wanted the gift to feel personal and special which was why he had spent some time tracking down the ornamental arrow head.

He reached out slowly and pulled off the lid of the box. The tension was building, but it was a good sort of tension. Xavier wondered what she had decided to get him for their first, of what he hoped would be many anniverseries and special celebrations. His smile grew huge and bright as he pulled a leather collar out of the tissue paper.

Xavier's finger ran across the elegant script as he beamed brightly. It was perfect, the perfect gift for him since he enjoyed being in his wolf form so much. He immediately secured it around his neck with a bright grin.

"Lex, iit's perfect," he said with a grin, "Why do I have a sneaking suspicioun that you have a leash that goes with this thing?" he asked with a chuckle "Did you handmake this?" he asked. He had a feeling that she had, for some reason the collar just looked handcrafted.

[Lexandra]

Lexi watched rather nervously as Xav began to open his gift. She really hoped he liked it. She had spent the last several weaks working on it in her room alone. There was something about the collars she had found in the city that screamed cheap and ineffective. So she had bought the leather and materials herself working hard to make it soft but durable.

Slowly she stepped forward when he smiled that brightest smile that she had ever seen and she blushed. The concrete beneath her heal ground slightly as she moved forward and touched the name plate that now lay at his throat. She had a name plate instead of a name tag because she didn't figure Xavier would want to jingle especially when he was hunting.

"Jesus Xavier, what do you think? The only things I didn't do was engrave the gold and put the magic in it. You see this collar will expand and contract with you when you change into your wolf form." she explained softly.

She had really been touched deeply by his own gift. Somehow dinner suddenly didn't matter as she grabbed him by his shirt and pressed him up against the wall. It was nearly like the first time they had kissed and he had asked her to prom. She held him there easily with her muscles and leaned in pressing an extremely heated kiss on his lips. Her tongue moving into his mouth. Her hand raised gliding up his stomach and chest all the way to the back of his neck where she stroked between his collar and his hair line.

Beep beep beep.

"Damn it." she growled as she broke the kiss that had only left her wanting more. She looked at Xavier the desire and love was heavy in her eyes.

"Dinner." she said harshly as she kissed his neck lightly and lovingly before she left him to go get the food.

A few minutes later she came back out with oven mits setting a pan of beef enchiladas down that were covered in cheese and a special chili sauce she had found a recipe for. The other thing had come so naturally she wondered how she had known them even making the enchiladas came from somewhere she had not used a recipe. Disappearing again she came back out with spanish rice and beans. Setting the black mittens down to the side she let her hair fall across her face as she served Xavier and then herself generous amounts of the food.

"Please have a seat. It's dinner time." she said softly as she took her own seat and waited for him to do the same at the small cafe table.

[Xavier]

Xavier ran his finger across the nameplate of the coller again as she explained it to him. It was handcrafted, that was amazing, she had tooled the leather all by herself. He shook his head a little in amazement as he continued to run his hands across the coller in gratitude. Then his eyes widened more in excitement as he found out that she had placed a spell on it that allowed it to contract and expand when he changed forms.

"Lex...this gift, it's the best. No one's ever given me anything so personal...." he said softly his eyes beaming with happiness and love. His widened in pleasant surprise as she grabbed him by the shirt and pushed him agains the wall.

Xavier was about to make a joke about how familiar this situation seemed. He would never get a chance to say it as she pressed a heated kiss against his lips. He moaned softly as her tongue forced it's way into his mouth like it usually did whenever they got like this. He chuckled gently at her annoyed and disappointed expression as the beep sounded and she was forced to back into the kitchen. However she didn't leave without kissing his neck lovingly, which sent a gentle shiver of pleasure down his spine.

He sat down as she started dishing out a very delicious looking meal, "Wow Lex...this all looks so good. I didn't know you could cook like this," he said as he looked at the meal she had prepared for the two of them. He inhaled deeply, allowing the rich aroma of the food to fill his nostrils, "I've said it before and I'll say it again...you are amazing," he said with a grin.

[Lexandra]

Xavier took his seat and she smiled as he inhaled the scents of her cooking. He was cute. And the collar made her smile. He was just perfect. He made a comment about her cooking and not knowing she could do it and she rolled her eyes.

"Geez Xav, you totally underestimate me. I'm a girl not an invalid." she sighed.

She sighed again and instead of talking more she began to eat. Carefully cutting into the soft enchiladas. She had made extra so that Xav could take some to his room tomorrow to eat if he liked. She hoped that Xavier would spend the night but she would have to wait and see about that when they got a bit closer to that time.

"So what did you do today besides coming into the cafeteria?" she asked softly looking up at him.

[Xavier]

He sighed a little, he really had to watch himself when he expressed surprise at her many talents. Xavier didn't mean to make her feel inept he was just surprised she could do so many things and do them all well. He cut into the enchilada and took a bite, his face lit up as he chewed it and swallowed it. Xavier let out a satisfied sigh as he continued to eat, it was all so delicious.

"Lex this is delicious," he said with a smile as he continued to eat. It really was great and he hadn't had a homecooked meal in the longest time. In fact the last time he had something that wasn't microwaved or fried had been when on his travels before he came to the Academy.

"I went out hunting with Biz. He managed to kill an elk all by himself," Xavier said with a grin, "He probably won't stop bragging about it for another year or so," he said with a soft laugh, "Oh and I went shopping for your present," he said with a smile.

"No one has ever cooked a meal for me before," he said softly with a gentle smile, "Especially not one so delicious," Xavier said looking at Lex with a loving smile, "You really are the best thing that's ever happened to me Lexandra Giovanni..."

[Lexandra]

Lexi listened to his moans and his talk about his day. Biz killing an elk all by himself was a major accomplishment and she would have to tell him so next time she saw him. She listened that he had gone out to get her gift and she smiled absently touching the arrow head around her neck that she knew would never come off by her own hands.

"Yeah well Biz brags about a lot of things. I think half of them are crap." she said with a shrug as she began to eat.

He continued eating but she nearly dropped her fork when the softest words came out of his mouth. She looked up and saw that smile. He was getting better at this mushy stuff and it was starting to catch her off guard. Mostly because it touched her. Ever since she had fully admited that she loved him she had let him into the deepest part of herself. The part that wanted to be accepted and loved despite everything.

"Same here you old mut." she said with a chuckle and a wink.

She loved spicing things up and it was great to throw a few things in every once in a while that she knew would get a chuckle out of Xavier. Because that was when it was the best. Because he knew her well enough to know exactly what she was and was not serious about.

[Xavier]

Xavier laughed at her comment. She seemed to like doing that, teasing him with nicknames related to his transformation abilities. He didn't mind though it was actually rather endearing and she knew he knew her well enough not to take offense to teasing and nicknames like that. Lex really was something special even though he thought she had a hard time admitting it and that was why she got annoyed when he expressed amazement at her many talents.

"Personally I enjoyed silly puppy better," he said with a grin, returning her wink as he continued eating. The food reallly was delicious and he was almost disappointed when he was finished eating, "Lex you're an incredible cook," he said, dabbing at his mouth with a napkin and giving her an appreciative smile.

"To make it even, next time I'm planning out the special evening," he said with a resolute nod. He cared for her and he felt rather bad for not having thought ahead and planned out something special for them. Though he was pretty sure she was surprised that he had even remembered to get her a gift. She had a habit of underestimating him when it came to things like this and Xavier was only more than happy to play along so as to make the time when he did pull off something special and meaningful that much more surprising.

[Lexandra]

Lexi smiled and blushed under the compliment that Xavier had given her. She was a bit nervous for some reason to eat much but she had a lot of left overs for him to take over. When he finished she smiled brightly as the wind blew her hair gently as it blew across the balcony.

She stood up and turned up the music slightly as the stars came out into the night sky. That deep midnight blue was beautiful as she walked over to Xavier her hips accenting her movement as she came closer. She smiled softly and took Xaviers hand.

"May I ask for this dance?" she asked softly.

If he said yes she would help him move up out of his chair. Pull him past the table where he would move into his arms. This song was a slow one and one that they could share together dancing with each other on the balcony under the stars. She loved Xavier with all her heart. There was something about him that made the world better no matter what happened or what her past was. His hands on her hips and her arms around his shoulders she lay her head on his wonderfully soft shoulder.

"Xavier. I don't ever want to be without you. I know that I'm not the easiest person to get along with but.. I can't help but yearn to be with you forever. You mean.. the world to me." she whispered in his ear as she kissed his neck gently twice.

[Xavier]

He took her hand stood up with a smile as the gentle music wafted out onto the balcony. Xavier couldn't not smile even if he wanted to. All of this was just perfect and the fact that Lex had planned it all out was making it that much more special. Xavier almost felt guilty that he had not planned something else. There was always next time. Besides he was having far too much fun as it was now. Just being here with Lex was enough for Xavier but she had made it all the more special by planning out a special night for the two of them.

"How could I resist an offer like that?" he asked with a smile as he slipped his arms around her waist and gently swayed with her to the music.

Xavier smiled and kissed her gently, shivering softly at the feeling of her lips on his neck, "Lexandra, I wouldn't even dream of being with anyone else besides you. You are my world, you are my everything," he said softly with a gentle smile as he kissed her again allowing this kiss to be a little more passionate.

[Lexandra]

She smiled softly as he told her that he wanted to be with her and that no one was going to be able to take her place. She nuzzled into him and felt his first kiss. She kissed him back gently and cupped his cheek softly. He broke the kiss to whisper his words and she blushed softly.

Kissing her again he deepened it and made passionate. She kissed him back gently too. It was so amazing. It felt so good to kiss him like this. She moaned softly and pressed her body against his. If he wanted she would let him have control. She didn't care. This night was for him and that was all that mattered right now. Her sweet Xavier.

She broke the kiss gently and looked up into his eyes and smiled softly. Her hand ran through his hair lovingly as her eyes held nothing but love for him. He was more amazing than she deserved.

"I love you." she whispered as she kissed him again and passionatly and deeply again this time. This deep kiss was heart felt but spoke of her desires for other things to finish off this blessed night.

[Xavier]

Xavier was having trouble controlling himself as he felt her return the passion of his kiss and press her body against him. He massaged the small of her back as he held the kiss. This was incredible it was passion but it wasn't pure lust it was a loving passion and it was even better than any sort of lustful passion that he could think of any greater pleasure that he had ever felt in a single kiss.

A soft sigh escaped his lips as she broke the kiss and looked up at him with the most loving expression in her eyes that it made him smile brightly and lovingly. She whispered only three words, but they were the three words that he wanted to hear most at this moment in time. She told him she loved him and then pressed a very passionate but loving kiss against his lips.

Xavier couldn't take it anymore, holding the kiss and forcing his tongue into her mouth, he swept her up into his arms and started carrying her to the bedroom. He broke the kiss to heatedly place several kisses on her neck as he held her in his arms, falling back gently on the bed. Xavier continued to kiss and nibble up and down her neck enticingly as his hands massaged her back.

[Lexandra]

She moaned when he picked her up. His tongue slipped into her mouth and she knew exactly where he was taking her. The blood red silk sheets she had gotten were waiting for them as was what she wore beneath the clothes that he seemed to like so much. He lay her on the bed and broke the kiss working on her neck she moaned again.

Underneath her outfit was a tight corsett that hugged her every curve. Deep black with blood red laces up the back. It was made of lace but you could see through it to her white skin beneath it. Her panties were the same lace and she looked hot in them both. But it was the corsett that was the main attraction here.

"Xavier." she whispered as he moved up and down her neck. Her hands worked through his hair passionatly as she let him have all the control this time.
