Cassidy felt uneasy since morning came, she wasn't feeling confident about the formal dinner that Rowan was taking her to that night. Everything seemed over her head though Rowan convinced her otherwise. When the evening arrived, she was dressed in the black Dior gown, styling her hair and putting on her makeup to perfection. Her mood was still on edge. Her mind kept on wondering if she made the right decision by agreeing to accompany Rowan. And her insecurity was reflected in her expression when Rowan saw her. "Hey, what's the matter?" "Um, I don't know, I'm really not sure about tonight. You know, you bring me as your plus one, and everyone knows that I'm a Rhodes."Looking at Cassidy, Rowan could see that it was more than that. "There's more, tell me?" Rowan planted a soft kiss on the crook of her neck while looking at her through the mirror where she nervously straightened her already perfectly fitted dress. "I don't want to embar
Last night they were supposed to have a lovely night out, but it ended badly because Heather decided to show up and mess with Cassidy's head. Rowan tried to calm her down and helped Cassidy open up. He tried to make her talk to him, but he failed and ended up having to let her have her privacy after numerous tries to find out what Heather said when they were alone.He knew last night Cassidy left his house with a positive attitude, he actually thought they were going to have a nice date night. All was going well, up until he saw his ex. He knew that Heather was vicious, she could bring anyone down, and that was just how she was. Heather even admitted years ago that she felt smug after she made the chairman of one of her woman's associations cry. Thinking back years behind, Rowan remembered that Heather was doing it just because she wanted to be the center of attention.And since last night Cassidy was the center of his attention, there was no doubt that H
Since Cassidy decided that she needed her friends in her life without Babes, she talks and texts Bree and Dee almost daily since their last meet-up. And her bestie accommodated her and completely understood her longing for Babes even just to gossip. The next couple of days after she got home from campus she twirls around and dances in her private stripper studio. Cassidy did work the room, without any audience her music was loud and the beat of her heart was pushing through her ribcage like a mad lion. But she kept on dancing and dancing and dancing until her feet felt numb and her thighs and calves were feeling the strains.She dropped herself on the wooden floor panting, body covered in a thin sheen of sweat. Cassidy didn't know where it came from but the rush of emotion surged through her insides making her sob, cry and choke from her tears. It took a while until she calm down and breathe normally."Shit. What was that?" She surprised herself and got u
"You will not get out of bed unless to go to the bathroom and for meals." Rowan planted a sweet kiss on her cheek. The man was dressed in his working attire. He needed to leave for his meeting, but he kept on coming back to tuck Cassidy under the covers. "I will be fine, Mrs. Dawson will be here at nine, she was just running a bit late because you insist on her buying groceries for me when I told you that we can have them delivered like we usually do." "But I want them to be fresh, you're in recovery..." "Okay, enough said. You're going to be late." She shooed Rowan towards the door and giggled when he actually huffed like a petulant kid. It was an hour later when Mrs. Dawson arrived at the house and she went straight to check up on Cassidy and was content to find her still resting. The older woman called Rowan and told him that she was at the house and Cassidy was sleeping. "I'm going to get her breakfast ready and make sure she too
When Saturday arrived Cassidy was bored out of her mind. She had been staying in bed for days, and between Rowan's busy schedule and getting to know him better through Mrs. Dawson, Cassidy was thrilled when her younger brothers arrived after Maurice picked them up. "Cass, tell Rowan he did not have to send his driver to pick us up. We can order a car, we know the address." Dillon the older twin only by minutes greeted her as they reached the foyer. "Aww... my little brothers are all grown up," Cassidy cooed and gave them her welcoming hug, complete with the sweet smothering sister affection. Edmond welcomed her hug and embraced her back while Dillon gave her a fake gag that make Mrs. Dawson laugh softly. The boys paused their greeting when they noticed the older woman. "Oh, boys, I want you to meet Mrs. Dawson, she's in charge of this household. So don't do anything funny, but if you want to dig dirt on Rowan she's cool enough to share them if you managed to get in her good grac
Two months later Cassidy still feels like she was in dreamland. She was going to have the best vacation with her brothers in years. Yes, Rowan was gifting them the holiday that they used to have with their parents, away from the city, staying in a house by the lake with the comfort of a small town nearby. A two weeks stay at a lake house. He was loving her to the fullest as she was head over heels for him.When the boys mentioned their upcoming school break Cassidy thought of spending the time with her brothers at Rowan's. Maybe a couple of days at the beach or the mountains just like they used to. They never stay more than three days since her brothers would usually have plans with their friends. There was nothing she could do to persuade them, but then Rowan comes along with the idea of spending holidays at the lake house. His lake house. Yes, he has a beautiful lake house that he rents and which miraculously was empty at the same time as the twins' school break
"I've missed you.""You always say that after a week of celibacy, and you just had two." Cassidy giggled when he finds her soft spot and started licking and kissing her on the crook of her neck, telling her that they won't be coming out of the room. Not until he was done with her. She shuddered just from the anticipation alone. His voice was low and heavy, his touch was slow and gentle, and his kisses were deep and moan-worthy. Cassidy wrapped her arms around his shoulder and let him tug her close and feel his erection. "Two weeks is too long, I feel like I'm going to burst anytime soon." He grabbed her ass, easily pick her up, and ravish her lips when she wrapped her legs around his waist.Her naked back was to the bedroom wall the second he stripped her top off and throw it onto the console table by the wall. She was grinding his erection and moaning louder when his lips latched onto her nipples, taking them to his mouth one after another, pla
"Edmond! Come here you dumbass!" "Boys! Language!" Cassidy reminded her sixteen-year-old brothers just as they were about to get back into the house to take a shower. She still couldn't believe they were big enough to swear, time seemed to fly by as they grow up. "He started it!" Dillon was upset about something that Cassidy was not sure she wanted to know what it was all about. All she knows that dinner time was a couple of hours away and that she was nervous as hell about meeting Rowan's older sisters. Yep, all three of them in one dinner. Rowan had given her the summary of what to expect from his sisters and honestly, Cassidy felt a bit too overwhelmed. So, the second Rowan went for a swim in the lake, Cassidy moved to the kitchen and decided it was best to talk to Mrs. Dawson, if he grew up with her as his nanny then she must've known his sisters too. They might have several nannies over the years but Cassidy did hope that Mrs. Dawson can give her some insight about the sisters
