Happy reading!!
Watch our two cutie pies grow close to each other.

Siofra realised what she did.

She just invited a stranger into her cocoon for all she know is maybe he could turn out to be a thief or serial killer or the worst of all a rapist. But its not like she had much time to live anyways.

It was only then the newspaper fallen on the streets caught her eyes. With a bold writing 'Billionaire a undercover rapist?' And of course a big photo of gorgeous stranger with her.

"Who are you?" The words left her lips nothing more than a whisper but enough for the handsome young man near her to listen and sense her distress.

Asvaldur's eyes soften seeing the sweet beauty shaking. Who wouldn't? When you just come to know that the person you just invited to your home is a declared rapist not by the court though.

"Please let me explain. I am being defamed. The...they did this to me all because of money. If they would have asked I given ev..everything I..I h...aad. But t...theyy."

By the end he was sobbing.  Siofra was a small broken boy in him. So she did the first thing that came to his mind so calm him.

To give him her special magical hug. Her curiosity in psychology made her read that when a person hugs another person oxytocin is released that calms down a person and makes them happy.

Still in shock, Asvaldur loosely wrapped his arm around her as if she was a fragile China he was saving for Christmas and one touch she will break into pieces.

As she pulled away from the much needed hug and said something to him, which could not fall into his ears as he was busy admiring the beauty in front of him.
 
He let her pull him down the streets into the cosy part of town.

She stopped in front of a small cosy home and unlocked the door. He couldn't fail to notice that the place perfectly suited her. It looked like a piece of heaven in between the tainted world as she was a fairy in between vicious creatures.

Not long after, there they stood in middle of her living room. He could clearly tell her love for nature by seeing her living room. It was skillfully decorated with various plants.

He saw her gracefully taking out her phone, which was of much older version than his. She dialed a number , he could hear her talking to someone saying that she won't come back to work due to some emergency. His heart swelled listening to it. It made him feel important , something he never felt.

As she came back from her phone call there stood an awkward silence between them. To shoo it off he said the first thing that came into his mind.

"Nice home you got here. All warm, cosy and all.... greeny" He said thinking about the right word that could describe the plants surrounding them.

"Thanks. Max always told me plants realise stress and I tried it sure does." Curiosity sneaked in him.

"Who is Max? Your brother?" He didn't want to think of anything else like her boyfriend.

"Uhh no he was a guy from my orphanage. Wouldn't say friend we just spoke few times." His heart ached at the thought of his little girl growing without love and care. But who is he to say, he too was deprived from it.

A clearing of throat broke him off his thoughts.
"Enough of me. Tell me about you, how did you end up becoming a rapist from a Billionaire?"

He wasn't ready to speak of it yet. But he knew he had to. If someone could save him was the angel in front of him.

So he told. He poured all his poured all his pain out from death of his mom, his father being "busy", his father marring his step mom to where he is now with a tittle of rapist. He was so engrossed in his travesty that he didn't realise warm tears falling through. It wasn't until sweet smell engulfed him and small hands wrapped around him, he came back to senses.

As she pulled away and look into his eyes to say the words he dreaded the most.
"Everything will be okay. I am with you. I trust you"

He was shocked in a situation where a person will find him grotesque she believed him. He realized this is what he wanted his entire life. And now that he had a person like her in his life he will never let her go of course until she asks him to.

"Thank you for everything. Even for the hug I needed it." He said.

"Don't thank me. Thank the cuddle hormone." Looking at his befuddled face. She explained the concept of oxytocin to him. A small smile made its way on his face listening to her.

"Alright back to the point. What are you going to do now?"

"To be frank I have no idea what to do. What do you think?" Her eyes soften listening to him, poor soul. She couldn't even imagine her being on his place.

"People should use their brains. Its clear that they are just defaming you. I mean if there was really something they should file a case in court not give some dumb-butt statement in media. I guess you should file a case against them for defaming you. And I suggest to do it as soon as possible so they can do a medical check and you'll be proved innocent. " She was right. How couldn't he even think about it.

He smiled and thanked her again.
"So.. we are going to be roommates? Why don't we ask each other questions to know each other better. We can use a safe word to. I mean if we don't want to continue the conversation.  For me its Pink." She suggested he couldn't help but shake his head and smile seeing the little innocent girl.

"Sure I dont mind, you first." He replied.

"Your name is Asvaldur. Its really unique. What does it mean and whats its origin?" She asked he could sense excitement in her voice to which he chuckled lightly.

"It means divine ruler. Its German in origin. It was given by my mum. Although she was not German she said the name caught her eye specially its meaning." He replied.

"What about you? What does your name mean?" He asked.

"Unlike yours mine is quite random. I mean I was  baby when I was found and nameless. So the madam in orphanage decided to name me Sofia and she said it was a random thing. But then during registration there was some miscommunication and it turned to be Siofra. But the cool thing is it actually has a meaning , it means fairy or something!"

"It suits you." He replied to which she smiled softly but you could also see a layer of light pink on her cheeks.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He randomly asked.

"Uhh no I never had. I dont want to break someone's heart I mean I don't even have much time with m-" she just realized what she spilled.

"What?" He asked.
"N..nothing. Pink." She used her safe word.

He knew probably it was a soft topic for her. So he let it go.

They continued talking for hours to not even notice sun has gone down already.
She was pleased to know that he never had a girlfriend not even his first kiss it gave peace although she couldn't figure why.

She finally ended up falling asleep on him.

A/N-
If you noticed I changed his name into Asvaldur from Xanth coz in my other book the male character had almost similar name Xanthus. Anyways I loved Xanth.

What do you think?
