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
"Breathe... Breathe Cassandra... Breathe...You can do this."She says after giving herself a once over in the tall mirror hanging on the far sidewall. White chiffon and cotton lace cover her slim toned body in just all the right places; a pair of red stilettos is the perfect contrast to finish her ever so seductive image off. She is dressed to impress; even though she does this every night, she is still nervous.After straightening her white lace bra for what is the fifth time now, she makes her way outside the dressing room. She gives Kyle her best smile and pouts her red lips at him. She winks to let him know that she is ready. Kyle nods his head and smiles back at her, the same cheeky smile he gives her every night at this very exact hour.Without further hesitation, he finally speaks. "Gentleman, give it up for Cassie."She closes her eyes and takes one final deep breath...then...She steps through the red curtains and onto the stage. There is a loud c
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 wat
…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

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
