MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCEE Chapter 365
Calix couldn’t focus on the conversation around him. From all the darker ones, Cassia's shining head stood out like a glowing beacon.He watched her progress as she walked back into the room, the only member of the family who wasn’t entirely Greek on both sides. She’d tied her hair back in a loose, tumbled knot. With an orchid caught in the glossy strands and minimal make-up, Calix thought he’d never seen anyone lovelier.Her outfit was simple, emphasizing her natural elegance, and he had to admit that he hadn't been entirely fair in his criticism of her attire.A knee-length cream silk dress with a gossamer-light golden-colored shawl and high, strappy golden sandals that drew the eye to slim ankles and shapely calves And when she moved, like now to greet one of her family, the silk of the dress moved with her and tightened across her hips. Again, he was blown away by the beauty that had been lying in wait through her younger years. Yet hadn’t she always possessed it? Her eyes had alway

When she was finally able to articulate a word, she bit out, "Are you going to tell me where we’re going?"The thought of a honeymoon, just her and Calix together, was sending waves of panic through Cassia’s tense body.Calix looked at her. Her arms were folded across her chest. Everything about her screamed, Get out! And made him more determined than ever to slake his lust, experience the passion that ignited with just a touch of their mouths.He forced himself to relax, to try and dampen the spark that was ready to be fanned into a burning flame at the slightest provocation…or encouragement, which he figured was unlikely in the near future."Our bags are following, so we’re going straight to the airport."Was he being deliberately obtuse? Cassia emitted a frustrated sigh."And is this a magic mystery tour, or are you going to tell me where we’re going?"She was all too aware of the strained edge in her voice. Calix regarded her coolly from his seat. looking casual and relaxed and at

Cassia woke to a gentle touch and found the stewardess standing over her. Someone had put a blanket over her, too.‘Mrs Petrakis, we’re landing in a few minutes.’For a second she was about to assert that she wasn’t Mrs Petrakis until she remembered that she was. She scrambled up inelegantly, relieved to see that Calix was missing from his seat. She pushed her hands through her tumbled hair and secured it back again. The orchid came out in her hand and she looked at it. What had possessed her to put it in her hair earlier? She threw it down on the table beside her, disgusted with herself that she might have somehow unconsciously done it for him. She wanted to get out of the dress, which clung far too much, and get into jeans…or overalls, or something. Anything else.And who had put the blanket over her? The thought that it might have been him made her insides liquefy. She chided herself for being so silly. It was far more likely to have been the stewardess. She looked up and saw Calix

Cassia wanted nothing more at that moment than to have the nerve to reach up, pull him back to her and give in. Once they’d slept together she was sure she wouldn’t satisfy him…a man with his reputation, used to women like Isadora! One night with Cassia would cure him of whatever madness she was sure was just tied up with his lust for revenge.He turned and stalked to the door, turning back just as he reached it. Dinner will be served at eight.She stood for a long time, waiting for her body to cool down. A curt knock came on the door, and Cassia steeled herself, expecting to see Calix again. But it opened to reveal Thea, who had put her bags inside the door. She was almost gone when Cassia called to her. ‘Thea…’ She walked over when the woman stopped, her heart aching that Thea could be so cold.'Thea… It’s good to see you again.The older woman just looked at Cassia, grunted something unintelligible and left.Cassia went and sat down on the bed. Her head reeled. Little had she known
MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCEE Chapter 369
That evening, when Calix returned, he felt hot and sticky and cross with himself for having gone into Athens. A visit to his mother hadn’t helped his mood. She was as cold and wrapped up in herself as ever. He didn’t need to remind himself that she hadn’t even bothered coming to the wedding. His own family had been in woefully short supply. After making sure she had everything she needed, he left. which she’d barely noticed.When he’d been born, as an unplanned late arrival, ten years after the youngest daughter, his parents had only been happy for the fact that they’d finally had a boy, and a proper heir. Their own interests always had been in themselves, not their children, and Calix’s sisters had all been married by the time he’d been in his early teens. He’d long ago shut himself off from the pain of his family’s indifference.Climbing up the hill to the villa in his four-wheel-drive he found his thoughts straying in an annoyingly familiar direction. Cassia. Wondering what she wou

She stuck out her tongue in a ridiculously childish gesture at his back, and curiously, it actually did make her feel a little better. She followed her autocratic husband into the villa.Calix sat sprawled in a chair in the hall waiting for Cassia to come downstairs that evening. His body had a satisfyingly tired ache. After their little exchange, he’d gone back to the pool and swum lengths to try and forget the fact that he wanted Cassia more than he’d ever wanted another woman. And that he was very much afraid that he’d be the one to go through the door first. The fact that she could arouse him to the point that he couldn’t even control his impulses made him seethe.She appeared at the top of the stairs at that moment and the mere sight of her made a complete waste of his punishing physical exertion in the pool. As if he’d just received an injection of pure adrenalin, Calix shot to his feet. What killed him about watching her come down the stairs was that she wasn’t even dressed to

Cassia looked around the restaurant again. Holding her back so straight and being on her guard was exhausting. like her see-sawing emotions. One minute she’d feel herself start to open, like a flower turning towards the sun, and the next she’d remember and close up. Calix was so much harder to handle when he was Cassia had been about to say nice things to herself, but he wasn’t even being particularly nice; he was being polite and civil, and she was like a pathetic mouse, picking up crumbs.The dinner had been exquisite, and the surroundings were beautiful. They’d been treated like royalty since they’d arrived. But this seesawing wouldn’t stop. As if a force bigger than her was playing with her like a puppet on a string. What made it even harder was that their conversation hadn’t strayed into any dangerous areas, and she’d found herself genuinely enjoying talking to him. She felt herself relaxing, ever so slightly. I was even laughing briefly at one point, which felt great after weeks

She came to in the most horrific, undignified fashion, hunched over a toilet bowl, her whole upper body dripping wet, retching. Calix was behind her, holding her hair back as life slammed back into her and she emptied her stomach. Finally it was over. She was shaking all over violently. She felt herself being pulled back up and a wet cloth over her face and neck. It felt wonderful. Then she was sitting on his lap and being held very firmly against a broad chest until the shaking started to subside. She finally managed faintly, ‘Where…where are we?’A rumble came from under her cheek. "In the staff toilet of the restaurant."Cassia closed her eyes and clung to Calix. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry…’When she opened them again, she took in the shower and realized that he must have had to put her underneath it to wake her up somehow. She pulled back.‘I’m so sorry…’‘Don’t be. Cassia, what the hell was that?’ His voice was harsh. ‘For goodness’ sake, woman, if you’re allergic to liqueur or coffee, wh
