Her eyes pierce right through my soul as a mischievous smile rises at the corners of her lips. What I failed to notice all this time while wrapped in the passionate kiss is that her own arms were firmly surrounding my hips.
She hesitates if she should, but she finally pushes away. "You are a bad boy, aren't you?"
"Only as bad as you would want me to be." I pull her closer to me again.
"Now what is it that you would like to ask me?"
"Will you come sit by me?" I ask as I try to pin her into the glass again.
"Sure, of course," she says trying to move away from me.
"No, not because you get paid to," I explain. "But because you want to."
She slips away from underneath my arms and steps out of the shower. She slowly starts walking away, but she stops to turn her head over her shoulder. "Get dry, and maybe I will see you later," she says as she throws a towel over to me.
She starts to head off the stage towards the red curtains. I watch as she sways her hips, and I sear she is swaying them with even more purpose. I grind my teeth; she knows exactly what it is doing to me. She knows that I am staring at her, and now, now she knows the power she had over me. For tonight, just tonight, I can pretend she is mine, and my eyes are only for her.
...Cassandra POV...
Never in all the time that I have been dancing have I ever let a man go as far as this. And why, why did the bouncers not even stop him? Every inch of his skin felt so damn good. Every ounce of me drowned in his glorious touch. I am drawn to him now, but I know that I can't, I can't go and get into a man like this.
In a complete daze, I find myself back in my dressing room, shortly after I am joined by Tammy and Jessie. They are not only fellow dancers but my best. I just know it is gossip they are after. I do not even know what to tell them if I do not even know myself what just happened.
"Well, I was going to say when you stated you lacked some passion," Tammy walks up to where I am standing.
"But girl, that dam shower was on fire," Jessie comes over to joins us.
"Oh god," a clasp my hand in front of my mouth. "I was so hoping that no one saw that."
"I would have been pissed off if I didn't," Jessie says. "I mean you go and choose the hottest ass in town."
"Hell yeah," Tammy agrees with her. "What were you thinking. Damn, that boy is seriously got ti going."
"So, tell us how it felt?" Jessie asks.
I close my eyes and playback every scene and every moment. His hard-sculpted chest that was so firmly pushed up against my breasts. And that firm ass, he did not even notice when I grabbed it. His soft lips that were locked onto mine, exploring me ever so soft and gentle, but…but the lust and passion. But what get me the most was the power of him rubbing against me.
I can feel the heat creep to my cheeks as I think of him and smile. "Mmm. The boy was absolutely yum".
"Come on, girl," Jessie encourages me. "You gotta give us more than that."
But what Tammy says next, "You don't go around kissing Christian Caine and get away with it."
I stop…then...I breathe…I remember to breathe again. I look a Tammy in absolute shock, "Chris…Christian Caine?"
"The one and only girl," Jessie nods and smiles. "Don't tell me you don't know who he is?"
"Oh, god."
"Damn girl," Jessie continues to say. "You got him all hot and bothered, and from what I hear he is the one doing the bothering."
"And now he wants me to go sit at his table."
"Well, we were going to have to sit there any case," Tammy starts explaining. "The Queen is out to drill us tonight."
"No," I stop her before she can continue. "He said, and I quote 'not because you get paid, because you want to.'"
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Tammy asks.
"Tammy, I am so out of his league, he would not even think about me once he steps out that door."
"Girl, you just gave the boy the show of his life, do not leave a man like that hanging and beg for more."
"I guess you are right; what harm will a little schoolgirl crush to on a man like Christian Caine?"
With newfound urgency, I furiously scratch for my best hot spanky outfit to wear. I grab my dryer for a few minutes to run through my hair. Next, I slip my legs into my black stiletto boots and zip them all the way up to the top. I give myself one final look and put a fresh coat of deep cherry red lipstick on. I slip my phone and my lipstick into my boots and turn to the girls to ask for a nod of approval.
"You got this one in the bag," Jessie says, giving me an enthusiastic thumbs up.
"Hahaha," I burst out laughing. "There is not even a bag, Jessie. This boy is only mine for tonight."
We bundle up in a group together and head out the dressing room. As we go to find their table, he is nowhere to be seen. My heart drops at the thought that he has left and even more that he has left without saying goodbye.
But it is time to work, so there is no time for disappointment over things that should not even happen. We soon find ourselves at the table, and I know…it is time to put that fake smile on.
"Hello, ladies," the tall man with dark blonde hair says.
"Evening gents," Tammy is the first one to greet him.
"Are you lovely ladies sitting with us tonight?" the man with the dark brown curly hair asks.
"Well, we would not be standing here if we weren't."
"Are we only getting you three for the night?"
"Hold on there, Rambo," Jessie blurts out. "Do you want me to go grab you, Paulina, over there as well?"
He looks over to Paulina and just shakes his head. "Uhm…no I think we would rather pass".
Now Paulina, let's just say that Paulina caters for the man that comes here looking for a real blonde bimbo. Sometimes I wonder if there is not enough face for her make up.
The girls sit with the boys while I find a spot open on the other side. I was so hoping that I would see him, just to spend a moment longer with him tonight.
While the guys seem to be into Tammy and Jessie, I might as well send a quick message to my mother. She knows what type of work I do even though she disapproves, but still she worries about me every night.
I move my chair a slight bit back and unzip my boot to find my phone that has fallen in all the way down…Suddenly I hear a man speak…
"What else do you have hiding in there?"
...Christian POV...
Have I just made a complete fool of myself? There is the beautiful woman, and I fully take advantage of her supple lips the very moment I can. Then asking her to come sit by me like a little schoolboy. My stupid nearly makes me flee the club immediately, but instead I step outside to get myself together before I head back inside.
When I make my way back through the doors, I see her sitting there waiting. My stomach is fluttering like a million small butterflies; I love the way she is making me feel, but it also saddens me so for I know that beyond tonight, there can be nothing between us.
I chuckle to myself as I see her reach under the table and slowly unzip her boots…then she takes out her phone. She comes up too fast and bumps her head against the table, messing her drink all over her hotpants and legs.
"Fuck! Ouch! That is going to leave a bump. Where did you come sneaking up from?"
"I had to get some fresh air after you had me all so hot under the collar," I explain.
"I thought you had left?" she says as the disappointment leaves her face.
"And leave without saying goodbye?" I ask. "Now what type of many would it make me?'
"Makes you Christian Caine; that is the type of man it makes you."
"Ah," I remark at her comment. "So, I see you have figured that out, now tell me, Cassandra, does that bother you?"
"How…how do you know my name is Cassandra?"
"Wild guess…or…or maybe I know more about you than you think."
Her cheeks go that rose color ted as I take a chair and pull up closer to her; if I ever thought that the heat I felt in the shower was only the water, then being so close definitely says that I am wrong.
My eyes can't help to wonder down to her lips again; every part of me wants to kiss them. Instead, I put my hand on her knee and slowly run it up her leg. "Can I tell you a little secret?"
"Yes…"
"You are wet."
She pushes my hand away in an instant and moves her chair even further from me. "I am not!"
I point over to her legs and laugh. She has not noticed the contents of her drink has messed all over her legs, which tells me that she is feeling that very same feeling that I am feeling for her. That heat that is creeping up from under and threatening to consume me.
"Your drink Cassie, you have messed your drink on your legs."
"Oh…I am sorry…I thought…I thought you were…"
"Having naughty thoughts of you in my head?"
"Yes, something like that," she shyly admits.
"Mmm, maybe I am," I tease her. "Can I get you a towel for that?"
"For my dirty thoughts?"
"Hahaha," I burst out laughing. "Okay, if you want, the bouncers can give you one."
I head away from the table, but before I can reach the bouncers, my phone starts ringing. I check the call to see that it is from my father. I need to take this call. I find a quiet place far from the people and press to answer. "Yes, dad?"
"I need you!"
I drop the call and head over back to the table.
"Boys, we have to go."
…Cassandra POV…Wait! What! Where does he think he is going? I just met him, and he is already leaving. What about our moment, this evening that we are supposed to spend together? If I let him walk out that door, he will forget who I am.I spin around in my chair and stop to call him back, "Wait! "Are you leaving already?""I am afraid that I have to, my dear Cassandra," clear disappointment is visible in his deep brown eyes."But…but will I see you again?"There is a glimmer of something in his eyes, but what is clearer is the handsomely wicked smile that appears on his face. He starts leaning closer to me, so close that I can feel his warm breath on my cheek. The sensation is so intense that I nearly almost forget to breathe."Do you want to see me again?""Ye…yes.""Because you have to or because you want to?" he asks."I want to," I answer without even hesitating.He presses his lip
By now the hurt must be raging through her body like a wildfire. I am sure feeling it, regret, not regret in the true sense of the word, more like wishing that I did not guarantee her when I should know how unpredictable my life is. Last night was absolute torture, and dragging myself through this never-ending day brings me even more pain. In all my life, truly have I never once desired one as I do her. She took a piece of me the moment I kissed her, and she has that piece still.As we are now making our way back, I cannot help to start feeling the excitement I did only a day ago. I do hope that she would not be that mad, that if I explained that she would understand. I think by the time we get home, her shift would have already started.And I do not want to wait any longer than I should to get to her, but it is only fair to check with the boys first. "You boys okay if we go straight to the club?""Man, that is a stupid question," Micah is the first one to jump
...Cassandra POV...Why would Christian Caine not want to see me naked? Is there something about me that he does not find attractive? Does he find my breasts to be too small or perhaps even too big? Or maybe he finds that I am too skinny? I do not know why, but I feel insulted."Why, Christian?""Why what?""Why do you want me to stop?""Because my interest is in you and not your body Cassandra.""Okay…then what now? What do we do for another five minutes?""Put your clothes on and come sit next to me."Without even hesitating, I do as he says. Does Christian Caine like me for who I am and not what I look like? Or is this just all part of his game? Whichever one it is, right now, this is definitely a game I want to be played in.I watch him as he watches me slip on my dress, he is admiring my body, but do I turn him on? I know I am doing something, for he is moving a slight bit uncomfortable in his chair.
I am awaken this morning with a pounding headache. Not only do I have a damn raging hardon, but it feels like I am being pulled by the hair in every direction. That is what too much whiskey will kind of do to you. I found myself crawling into bed at some ungodly hour early this morning, only after consuming the better part of the bottle. After Cassandra left me hanging like that, I lost all desire to control myself.And now I have my dad banging on my bedroom door just to annoy me further. God knows what his problem is so early in the morning, but I do have a fairly good idea."Christian, I want you downstairs in five minutes." I hear him hollering through the door."Make it fifteen," I try to sit up, but my pounding head makes me fall back down. "I want to have a shower.""Make it twenty," he says but not until he gets out what I am sure he has been trying to hold in with no luck. "You have been in that damn strip club all night again.""Sure, fat
...Cassandra POV...Who does he think he is? It just goes to show what he thinks of women, how he can be at dinner with a woman and message another. Is this man seriously for real over himself? What makes it worse is, where did he get my number?"I cannot believe he is messaging me!""Who are you talking about, Cassie?" my mom stares at me with a puzzled look on her face."Christian, he has got my number.""So, you do know him well?""Well enough to know that he is a liar."I watch him as he keeps staring at his phone; he does not even listen to the woman he is with. He is not even paying her the least bit of attention. Without even thinking further is send him a message back."Where did you get my phone number Christian?"He immediately grabs his phone and seems to be pleased with himself that he got an answer from me."A little birdie gave it to me.""Tell that bird I am going to kill it. What do you want
Cassandra…her name keeps rolling off my tongue, the very same one that only hours ago explored parts of her body. And how I desire to explore her even further, conquer her with every inch of me. The very inch that is so pounding, the woman is going to be the death of me.One of these days, she will wake up next to me. But rights now, I am woken up by my mother, that seems to be quite up in a stir."Hey, mom.""Morning, Christian.""I am guessing this is not a casual chat?""Your father is waiting for you in the study; I must warn you he is up in a roar about something.""God, I hope it is not about Veronica again.""Is it the same one that left this here last night?"Much to my embarrassment, she picks up Cassandra's panties that fell to the floor as I got undressed last night. I grab them from her hand and tuck them under my pillow."Lucky not; I don't even think Veronica has enough class to wear something like t
This man is going to be the death of me. I knew that Christian Caine was bad, but this man is just sinful. He takes me to a high; then, he just lets me hang there. Well, watch out, Mr. Caine, I can play that game too.We have just pulled off in his ridiculously overpriced Bugatti from the driveway of my meager downtown apartment. I am so out of my league here. Why is a man like Christian taking such an ordinary girl like me to meet his parents?"So, what is the deal here, Christian? Why am I meeting your father?""You will soon find out. My dear father has a standard he has set for me and he wants to see if you measure up to it.""Well, the last time I checked, I am a stripper.""Exotic dancer, don't think of yourself like that. There is nothing wrong with what you do. I know many women who are not even brave enough to take their clothes off for their own boyfriends.""But what do I tell your father?""Do you wish to pretend you are s
Well, to say that my father is shocked would be the understatement of the day. I watch as his face is changing into a whiter shade of pale. But let us just forget about his face for a moment and talk about my own, which is now as red as the cherry lipstick that Cassandra is wearing. I have known many women that have threatened to touch me, but none of them have been so brave as she is.The moment she slipped those glorious fingers into my pants, my heart stops beating, and my brain went dead. As she strokes my erection, I must admit she struggles to wrap her hand over my full length. I am not one for blowing my own horn, but I am more than adequate to get you squirming and screaming my name. I did not get to be Christian Caine by my looks alone.But let us get back to my father, that is about to start his questioning. He is trying to find reasons why we cannot be together, and trust me, by the time the evening ends, he would have found one."Sorry, I do not thin
They say a man’s life flashes before his eyes when he is staring death in the face; well, I say it is bullshit. All that is staring me in the face are the barrels of four Rugers. Now, did I foresee this happening? Well, of course, I did not come here to have a goddamn tea party. What was a casual exchange of threats has now only stepped up one level to where I am about to have my head blown off. Yet, Sloane underestimates my determination. I have come too far and too long to have Cassandra by my side; there shall be no one that comes between us. I do not care much if it was an arranged marriage; the way that I see it, the ones that made the arrangement are no longer here. Now, if Roman Sloane does not want to listen, then I shall kindly remind him again. “You can go right ahead and blow my brains out as much as you like, but you will not get Cassandra.” Well, now if I thought that he would listen, it only makes him more furious. With somewhat of a slight trem
I have never been able to control my temper; it is just one of those things that Christian Caine cannot do. Now, I find myself furious and pissed off at the woman that I love. Yet, I am not only pissed off at her but at her fucking father that did not think about anything but himself. So the great Foster Caine and Joseph Cummings are gone; who is left to clean up this mess? Well, it all falls down on me. As I have said, I cannot just go and kill a man because he is the one that is supposed to marry my woman. But, I am not going to sit back and wait for Roman Sloane to come and collect. I will, and at this very moment, I am on my way to try and convince the very man to stay away from my future wife. Am I being reckless? Yes, of course, there is no reasoning with me when I find myself when I am boiling over from anger. I know that it would have been a fairly good idea to have brought Mason with me, but I was too one-tracked-minded to make a sensible decision. And right
I have my princess lying next to me with very questioning eyes. Yes, she wants to know why the war is not over. Well, there is a question that I need to ask her first. The question here is, who is the one that shall get the most upset? An even bigger question is, will this cause a ripple effect in our relationship? I will not be able to survive if she has to leave me again, especially after everything that we have gone through. The fact is, I cannot just let this slip by as it is, it will, like all things do, come back to haunt you one day.So, as I stare into those big brown eyes while she is twirling those beautiful locks of blonde hair between her fingers, she looks so innocent, and yet I know that below she can be a raging fire. I need to tread this one very slow.“Princess.”“Yes, Christian?”I only but look at her in shock and cock my head but a slight bit, “What happened to baby?”She only but chuckles at
Driving back home from the warehouse is done in fairly silence. The boys here and there make a remark about how great the victory was, but as for my princess, well, she has not said a word since we have gotten in the car. My greatest fear is what this will do to her mentally.I know she handled herself well with Victoria, but this was her father; I cannot imagine how one should feel after you have taken such a life. I knew that when I asked for her to stay by my side that I was asking a lot, but now she has done the very thing that I was set out to do. Yes, it makes me feel like a failure as the Head of the Caine crime family, but it makes me feel that I have placed a great burden on the woman that I love.She is strong that I know, but there are some things, as I have said before, that one just could not come back from. She might hold this against me in time to come; our relationship might not even survive this. All I know is that this should have happened this way. N
My princess has yet disobeyed me again and went directly against my orders. She is at her father's warehouse prepared with only Jax, Damian, and Leo by her side. I don't know if the woman has got a death wish or if she is just plain and adamant in protecting me from her father. From where we are sitting in the middle of the warehouse, there is a raging battle of gunfire at the entrance; they are fast-breaking through the barrier of Joseph's followers.My princess has disobeyed me yet again and gone against my orders. The little vixen has come to her father’s warehouse with Jax, Leo, and Frank. I can only imagine what she threatened the poor guys with. Now I don’t know if the woman has a death wish or if she is just plain adamant in protecting me from her father.From where we are sitting in the middle of the warehouse, Joseph has no idea who is causing the raging battle of gunfire at the entrance. I just hope it is not my fucking princess doing the sh
I should have known that my princess will get me back. Little vixen surely had me going there for one minute; well, she will pay for her little stunt. Now, it took her an hour longer to come to save me from my own hell, and still, after that, I begged her to finish what she so cruelly started. After much convincing and some seductive kisses at that sweet spot behind her ear, I got exactly what I needed to get me going again. So, we are finding ourselves standing in the kitchen discussing our next step. She has suggested that we hit her father’s warehouse. Well, I can say the girl impresses me, for I would only have taken that afterward. Mason, on the other hand, is finding this amusing, “Boss, why did you not think of this, or were you too tied up at the moment when your brain was present?” “Mason, in fact, my brain was not present, and you better fucking run before I get behind that counter.” Just as I am about to reach over to slap the man,
I do believe that I should have put a lock on that door. But yes, never did I expect that a room that is supposed to have given me sexual pleasure has not turned into torture pleasure. Not that I am saying that hurting people is something that I enjoy, but I am just doing a tad bit at the present moment.Well, that was until my princess walked in on me. Now do imagine m predicament. I have a man tied to a chair who has just lost his finger, and that said finger is lying in front of my shoes. Now that is not the problem; I had fucking blood on my shoes.So as I spin around, hoping that she will not notice the blood, I slip the bloody knife into the back of my pants, yes, second big mistake. But my biggest concern is how is she going to take this.“Princess, what are you doing done here?” I ask with complete horror on my face.“I was bored, so I thought I would come to see what the fuss is about this room, but yes,” she seems r
My princess is not speaking to me; while it turned me on profusely, knowing that she was lying there and waiting for me, she did not think it was funny at all. It turned her on just as much; she just does not want to admit it. I will admit that I only went and untied her after two hours; hey, they kept me busy downstairs.So the little vixen is now sent me to the guest room, where I find myself even more frustrated than I was yesterday. Even after about fifteen messages to her phone, she made it quite clear that it is where I deserved to be.Now, she has locked herself up in the room; I do have a key to open it, but yet I think that she shall hate me even more if I just burst in. So, I am set to beg…again. Well, I would have left her to be mad and calm down, but I kind of need to change my clothes, for I am required downstairs yet again.And this brings me to the front of what is supposed to be our room.“Princess, please open up the door.&rd
We are park close to the house where Joseph’s lover lives. We have not seen much movement inside, but I can safely say that we need not have to ask what he is doing. How wicked it would be to catch him off-guard the way he is at the moment.Now I am in the back with Cassandra, still holding firmly onto the grip on my gun, when there suddenly is a knock on my window. As I snap my head to the left, I watch in an inch of a second as Mason jumps out of the car. The next thing I see is him shoving his gun into the back of the man.I recognize him immediately; he is one of Joseph’s men; he must have spotted me and thought he could be brave enough to take me on. Next to me is a rather terrified woman,“Cassandra, get into the front,” I yell as softly as I possibly can. The last thing we need is to cause an alarm for Joseph to come outside.Mason opens the door and tries to shove the man inside, “Shut the fuck up and get into the car
