"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
Erika decided that she liked Cassidy the second she saw how happy her brother was. Rowan never looked as content when he was still with his ex, and now seeing him grinning as he wrapped his arm around Cassidy's shoulder, Erika wondered if he realized that she might be the one for him. She could see their eyes filled with love, only time will tell when they will take the next step toward marriage.Rowan's oldest sister had to admit that Cassidy was younger than she and her sisters had expected. They shared glances and were a bit worried for the first couple of seconds until they all met his eyes, then they know. They perfectly know that Rowan looked peacefully blissful with his younger girlfriend by his side.Pleasantries were tossed around until Erika noticed how Cassidy's twin brothers moved to the kitchen, each one on each side of Mrs. Dawson while quietly munching on cookies and drinking their iced teas. All three were watching them as if they were waiting for something to go bad,
When vacation ended the sisters departed first since they couldn't stay longer at the lake house. There were lots of hugs and promises for family dinners and the boys were on their best behavior making Cassidy proud. But then again Dillon was happy since his handsome boyfriend had popped in and stayed for the rest of the vacation days. The sisters seemed to welcome the swim captain, by teasing the young couple more often than necessary which then leads to a silly grinning Edmond feeling good about himself."Of course, I'm with them," Edmond laughed at his brother, taking the sisters side. "I'm part of the alphabet, E for the win," he winked but apparently Edith was cashing in on her and Cassidy's discussion on the first day and left Edmond on a tiny land in the middle of the lake. "Edith, you can't be serious?" Edmond glared at her, his hands resting on his hips though his stance meant nothing to Edith as she turned the jet ski around and headed for the mainland yelling that it was
"Come on, Rowan, you can't tell me that you're not thinking that she's the one?" Edith challenged him. After Erika called her last night and filled her in about her brother's last visit to their mom, Edith decided to kidnap Rowan for a quick lunch, slashed intervention.Between them, Edith knew that he'd listen to her. They were always close, and she understands him better than their other sisters. Rowan worries, the man knew how to run his business, he had instincts. But relationship-wise, he was a disaster waiting to happen. Edith wanted nothing more but to slap him in the head for not seeing what was right in front of him. "But she's so young, and I'm her first. You can't seriously suggest that I get down on my knee and propose just because mom told me to?" "You love her?""Yes," "And she loves you?""Yes," "So? What's the problem?" "Edith,"They paused when the waiter arrived at their table with their food. "Ro... you're not getting younger,""Geez, thanks for the reminder,
A couple of days after their last sexual encounter, there was an awkward silence between them every now and then. It was as if the two of them knew something was wrong but didn't want to be the first to point out the elephant in the room. Cassidy thought since he was the mature one he should've discussed whatever is going on with them, more so because she was worried that she might overthink it. But in Rowan's mind, he thought if Cassidy had any qualms she should ask him, and since she didn't ask any questions, he ended up talking about everything else to steer clear of the issue. It was stupid, he knows that he should talk about it. But in his mind, he really didn't want to lose her if he pushes too fast. He never felt so in love before that he knew he'd be lost without her. It was pathetic and so fucking sappy he thought. But the truth was that he just wanted to be with her, to love her for however long they can be together. Rowan knows his heart wants what it wants, and Cassie
Cassidy and Rowan decided to tell his sisters first and then tell the twins over the weekend. Turned out that living in their bubble, and keeping their news to themselves was nice but they realized quickly that they wanted to share their happiness with their loved ones. Cassidy was a bit nervous, sometimes her mind would go back to her being not good enough for him. But when he put his hand on her back, all of her worries disappear. She knew that he'd support her, that he loves her, and that no matter what people say their love conquers all. As sappy as it sounds, Cassie knows that it was true. And when she rewinds her memory to the lake house, she remembered that his sisters liked her, and she realized that she was being silly for even doubting herself."Oh. My. God. I can't believe you finally did it, little brother! I'm so proud of you! Congratulation, Cassidy!" Erin hugged Cassidy then Rowan, then gave him a loving pat on his cheek. The sisters were meeting them at their favorit
