One Night Stand With The Unforgettable Stranger CHAPTER 62
As an idea began to shape in Cassie's head, she bit her lip. She ought to have told Ainsley about her plans to date Nathan; it was the proper thing to do. However, she didn't want to have to reveal her personal involvement in the entire shady situation. Perhaps if she had seen Nathan "in the wild," so to speak, she would have a better understanding of who he truly was. Which one, she enquired.Brian observed Nathan and his friends consume more alcohol than food. The lunch consisted of steak, potatoes, gravy, and crusty bread, which are all excellent for filling the stomach and soaking up extra booze before a big night out. The idiotic fuckers, though, hardly touched anything at all. Before Brian arrived, they had already begun the process of eradicating themselves. With little chance of saving the evening, they were already well on their way to Hangover Central. Brian took his time eating. If not here, he would rather be anywhere. With his lovely redhead draped over him and her nu

Brian felt bad for Ainsley as the other guys wolf-whistled and hooted at Nathan's arrogance. She had a legitimate interest in learning about her soon-to-be spouse's personality. In the unlikely event that Nathan treated her badly, perhaps he would sneak her a can of Mace as she left the reception. Brian glanced out the window as the pink neon sign flashed its greeting as the limousine came to a stop. He did not want to be sitting in a strip club with these wankers, but he got out of the car and went into the dive with the others. Thankfully, the club was dark despite the loud music. There were different platforms and poles on the stage, and on each one there was a perhaps nude lady dancing to the music. He winced because he had never seen so many false tits at once. Nathan and his group took seats close to the front and got more alcohol almost away. Brian stayed back and selected a table close to the wall. He was not going to partake in their enjoyment in any manner. Distracted

Smothering the chuckle that was about to explode, she looked around the club for Brian. She thought she spotted him seated in a dark corner, but he wasn't at the table with the others. She waved at him as he raised his glass in respect. Ainsley watched Nathan reach out and grope the lady while she was humming him dry. "I can't believe he'd do this to me," Ainsley muttered. With a wagging finger, the stripper swatted away his hand, treating him like a mischievous schoolboy, and then moved down to speak in his ear. He gave an enthusiastic nod, and while the rest of his entourage shouted and whistled, she got from his lap and took his hand, guiding him to a wooden door. What is their destination? With her feet apparently locked in place, Ainsley questioned. Cassie said, "Private room," with a twinge of empathy for the woman sitting next to her. "Secret room?" she muttered. Yes, Cassie said with a hint of remorse. "To get...more intimate, you can pay more." Ainsley looked at h

Cassie put off doing it until the next morning. With her mouth and tongue, she roused Brian, drawing his morning erection deep and nearly to the point where he turned her over and collided with her. Her own climax arrived quickly, but she wanted to postpone not just getting out of bed but also the touch with him, so she clung to him for as long as she could. Though she could have told herself otherwise, her hesitation to go to the dress fitting had nothing to do with her desire to spend the entire day in bed with him. Then, she convinced Brian to join her for an extra-long shower. They took full advantage of the shower head's massaging function, the roomy interior, and the handy bench when he voluntarily showed up. He smacked her behind and called her out when she attempted to convince him to return to bed for the third round. He dragged his tongue down her neck and added, "I know what you're doing, but you can't avoid her forever." As he buried his teeth in the tender flesh of

With a sigh, he shut his eyes. She saw he'd made up his mind as he opened them. "Yes, we do," he said, "but I'm taking you up on your offer the minute we're done." Whispering, "And lunch up the range?" she questioned. He gave a harsh sigh. Yes, that's what we're going to do. After that, we'll return and I'll be buried inside of you the entire day as you scream my name. That time, she didn't even bother to stifle the shudder that ran down her spine.Cassie approached the other door of the penthouse suite with the same eagerness as a prisoner approaching the rope of the hangman. When she raised her hand to knock, Annette appeared and invited her inside as the door flew open. "You're running late," Madam Hilda said as she entered the living area. Ainsley and the other three bridesmaids took seats on the couch. Two and Three would not even look her in the eye, but Number One was giving her the evil eye. She cautiously apologized, saying, "I was having breakfast with Brian." "N

Cassie got up as well and started to walk back and forth while stroking her hair. Calmly, "No, I'm not sleeping with Nathan." The statement "But you have slept with him" is taken from page one. Two and Three remained silent but paid close attention. Cassie just answered, "Yes," without elaboration, just stating the obvious. "When" Ainsley enquired. Cassie grimaced and rolled her eyes; she really didn't want to join in on this discussion, but it seemed she was left with no option. "He told me he was getting married six months ago, which was the last time." "When was it last?" With a voice in that excessively high pitch that drives dogs a bit nuts, Ainsley questioned. "Have you had sex with him how many times?" She tightened her hands and gritted her teeth. She had a tremendous want to flee, but instead of being cowardly, she turned to confront Ainsley. "Nathan and I had a deal," she remarked nonchalantly. "We would get together for the weekend once a month." "The nu

To Brian's shrug. "Brian, Cassie isn't that kind of lady; she doesn't pursue committed relationships. All of her boyfriends in the time I've known her have lasted no longer than a few weeks. We had a great connection since she gets bored fast. She will thus quickly come back to me when she has moved on from you in a month or two. Brian clenches his jaw and keeps his hands close to his body. He was itching to hit Nathan. He was itching to repeatedly ram his fist into Nathan's abdomen. He wanted to feel and hear the asshole shattering bones and screaming in agony in front of him. "You believe you understand Cassie?" Brian inquired, and Nathan simply grinned. "Asshole, you don't know shit." Brian pivoted and exited the store. For one more second, he could not bear to be around that moron. He detested both the fact that Nathan knew Cassie so well and the idea that Nathan would believe Cassie would return the favor. He wouldn't allow any other possibility to settle into his head; C

Cassie wasn't upset that they weren't able to make it to the range for lunch. She had underestimated how much she'd needed Brian after talking to Ainsley. He calmed the craziness in her head and gave her confidence that she was valuable. After leaving the table, they had a shower and then went to bed since neither of them could get enough of the other. She had adored the way he possessed her body and that Brian had looked to be as yearning for their close relationship as she had been. After they had finally fallen asleep, both physically and emotionally spent, he had held her close, spooning her and making sure she was always within reach. That was something she admired about him as well. Perhaps it was time to let him know exactly how much. That notion had put her to sleep, only for Brian's phone to wake her up hours later. Neither of them cared that they were running late for the rehearsal. Cassie was aware that Brian would have been as content to forego the rehearsal and

One Night Stand With The Unforgettable Stranger EPILOGUE
Six Months Later…Everyone he loved was in the room. They were celebrating. Barry and Becky had finally set a date. Lisa and Mason wouldn’t be far behind. Brian and Cassie kept sneaking glances at one another that they thought nobody else noticed. He thought he knew what was going on but he didn’t want to ruin the surprise. It was their news to share and he was happy to wait for them to be ready to share it. Liam and Loretta were here too. He’d been slowly getting to know them. There was a lot of hurt to work through, but they were getting there. Jonathon quite enjoyed having a younger brother even if it was only in small doses at the moment. Devi and Kirra were also there. Kirra was graduating in a couple of weeks and then she would be hopefully attending one of the universities close to home. She wouldn’t know if she got accepted until the new year, but Jonathan was quietly confident that she would get into her top pick. And then there was Emma. Every day with her was

“I know it’s too soon,” he said, cupping her cheek. “But I want you to know that I am in this for good. I want to spend my life with you Emma. I want us to be a family. You, me, Kirra, Devi, Liam, and Loretta—” “Loretta?” “My mum. I want one big, messy family with you and me at the heart of it. Tell me you want that too.” She pressed against him and brushed a kiss on his lips. “I do,” she said before putting the remaining half of the chocolate in her mouth and grinning. The wheel came to a stop and he drew Emma to her feet, moving them both over to the window. The entire city of Melbourne was spread out below them, but it dimmed in comparison to the woman in his arms. “I love you, Emma,” he whispered before kissing her while they stood on top of the world.He took her home. He couldn’t not. They had stuff to work out and a relationship to manage. He had a family to get to know and she had her mother’s illness to navigate and her sister’s final year of sch

He stepped into the pod and waited for the door to close before holding the final box out to her, his mouth dry. She reached for it but he snatched it away, lifting it beyond her reach. “Before I give this to you, I need to explain.” She looked from the box to his face and nodded. “Okay.” The wheel started to move and Jonathon moved them over to sit on a bench. He exhaled roughly. “Okay, so I don’t know how much of this you already know, but how about I just start at the beginning?” She nodded again. “My mother left when I was two. I always believed she left us for a man with money. I’ve recently found out that wasn’t true.” He took a deep breath and her hand rested gently on his chest as she moved closer to him. He took strength from her closeness. “Someone was impersonating me—” “Liam?” He nodded. “Right. Liam. It turns out Liam is my brother. He was trying to draw me out and get me to notice him. He ultimately wanted to meet his father. He didn’t

“Are you looking for this?” the security guy asked, holding out an old-fashioned paper ticket. Emma laughed as she snatched it from him, waving it over her shoulder as she jogged toward the front doors of the building. She slid into the car and Brian looked at her expectantly. “Um…” Emma looked between Brian and Cassie. “I want to say Luna Park, but I don’t think that’s right.” “Why Luna Park?” Cassie asked. Emma held up the ticket in her hand. “We went to a fête in Merveille and rode the Ferris wheel.” “The Melbourne Star,” Brian said, his voice gruff. “Of course!” Cassie cried excitedly, leaning over to give Brian a smacking kiss. “You’re brilliant.” Emma could barely keep still as Brian drove them across town toward the Docklands and the giant observation wheel. As much as she was enjoying herself, she wanted to see him. She had already forgiven him for his lie and now she desperately wanted to ask his forgiveness for her stupid, fearful, erratic

She walked around the corner expecting to see Jonathon outside the patisserie, but there was no one there. She stepped inside breathed in the sweet scent of pastries and chocolate and looked around, hoping to spot him, but he wasn’t there. “Are you Emma?” a lady asked. “Yeah,” Emma said, turning to the woman who sat at a small table with a familiar little box in front of her. “This is for you,” the woman said, standing and walking away. Emma sat and took the box, pulling at the bow and opening it to see another chocolate truffle, this time it had an ’S’ written on top of it in dark chocolate. She didn’t need the little ‘Eat Me’ note to know what to do. She put the truffle on her tongue and closed her eyes. The chocolate coating melted away to leave behind a cake center with the sweet tang of apricot jam. “Sachertorte,” she mumbled to herself as she sighed and opened her eyes. Emma picked up the note that had nestled beside the truffle in the box.The first time we made lov

Dear Emma,The first time we met I wanted to kiss you. I knew I couldn’t. I knew it was stepping across a line both personally and professionally, but still, I couldn’t deny the attraction I felt.Our relationship has had an unconventional start, a bit of a rocky middle, and an absolutely appalling ending, but there were some real high points along the way. Let me remind you of how good it was between us and how good it could be again.Do you remember our first kiss? I don’t think I will ever forget it. I thought I knew what I was getting myself in for when I leaned down to brush my lips across yours, but I was a fool. You were so much more than I ever thought I would ever experience. You took my breath away and I lost a little bit of my heart to you at that moment.If it meant as much to you as it did to me, meet me there at the place where we first kissed.Jonathon.Emma could feel the wetness on her cheeks and she sniffed as she wiped at the tears. “Well?” Cassie asked, rocking o

It was the first Saturday morning Emma could ever remember that had the three of them sitting around the kitchen table eating pancakes and laughing. What would have been a simple, family Saturday morning ritual for some was something out of a fairy tale for Emma. She knew they were a long way from being a happy family, there was still a lot of hurt to navigate and broken trust to overcome, but it was a start and for once in her life, she was willing to just go with it. On this day, Devi was back to the woman she vaguely remembered from before Tom died and Emma wanted to soak it up and memorize it. From pancakes, they’d gone to gardening. Emma shared her plans with Devi and Kirra. She would let the lease go on her flat and move back in here permanently. It meant she would be on hand if Devi needed her and hopefully give some stability for Kirra’s final year of school. After she graduated and went off to uni, Emma could look at what would happen next. They all agreed that if they were

Emma wanted to believe her, but it was tempting to turn away and close her heart off so she couldn’t be hurt again. Except it would hurt anyway. If there was one thing she learned through this whole saga with Jonathon it was that closing your heart off to others was a mistake. You ended up hurting everyone that way, not least of all yourself. She put her arm around Devi and hugged her. “Good for you mum,” she said.Jonathon worked all night and most of the day. He tried calling Emma but when she didn’t pick up or reply to his texts after the first twenty or so, he gave up. What he had to say needed to be said in person anyway. Inspired by the woman he had fallen irrevocably in love with, he had spent the night holed up in his test kitchen creating the perfect set of truffles. Anybody could buy a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers but only he could create an entire set of truffles that spelled out just how much he loved her and how much she had impacted his life. He had words

Kirra said when Emma finally made it home. Emma had been wandering around the city trying to come to terms with what all this meant for her life going forward. She had made some hard decisions, but she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. It hadn’t helped with the pain in her chest where her heart was currently crumbling away to dust, but at least she knew that she wasn’t going to end up like her mother just because she had fallen in love. Life was always going to throw her curve balls and she just learned something about herself. Despite her previous belief, she was actually strong enough to withstand them, even swing the bat at them, and make the best out of a bad situation. “Hey, yourself,” she said, sitting at the table opposite Kirra. “Where’s Zoë?” “She had to go and run some errands.” “Where’s mum?” Kirra bit her lip and her eyes teared up. “I don’t know.” “She’s not here?” Emma asked, sitting up straighter and leaning forward. “When I got home, Z
