Things had been slightly tense between them since their date night turned out badly. He promised to make it up to her but this time, a deep meaning was attached to it.“Marcus’ eyes tracked her as she sat down quietly across the table.“Why are you so deep in thoughts?”Cassie was silent“Say something.”“We're having dinner together with his family.”“Oh really? That's a good idea. It's high time he made his feelings known.“Do you think your mom would like me?” “Of course, who wouldn't? You're such a lovely person.”“Aww, thank you.” She blushed.“So it's about to get down?”“No it's not.”“Yes it is.”“Oh please!” She scoffed.Marcus laughed curtly.“What's up with Lena? Nick suggested you invite her over if you're coming for dinner.”“He told you that?”“Definitely, your mom wants a general family dinner not just for us. Besides, I want to meet your hot girlfriend too.” She teased.“Meeting my family would mean things are really working out.”“Ain't things working out?” She squi
“Are we safe in here?” Marcus whined, studying his mum and Nick.“You're always late, Marc. So much to counter an invitation. I pray you don't be late on your wedding.” Ava scolded.“Man's definitely gonna be late on his wedding day and the bridegroom will be forced to marry the best man.” Nick cut in.Everyone in the room laughed loudly, especially Lena. “Hi Nick, good to see you again.” She winked at him.“Good to see you too.” He replied casually. “Is she the one?” Ava asked Marcus when the laughter had obviously subsided.“Certainly.”“Come join us at the table. It's a pleasure meeting you.” She smiled at Lena.“More of my pleasure ma'am.” She hugged her and followed her to the table, saying hello to her husband.“You're most welcome, have a seat.” Nick's father said firmly.“Hello Cassie.” She extended her hand to her.“Hi Lena.” She took it without hesitating.“I was looking forward to the day I finally meet you and here we are.” Lena exclaimed.“Dhurr! Couldn't wait to see yo
“You okay?” He asked as he led her to one of the epicurean rooms in his parents house.“Yeah, I am.““You don't sound like it.” He stopped and closed the door gently.Cassie's mouth twitched in fear, “your mom is hell.”“My God! She warned you to stay away from me, didn't she?” His jaw clenched instantly. He imagined his mom's threatening voice in his head and made a quick move to open the door. “Nick please..” She grabbed his wrist and stared at him with pleading eyes. Letting him out with his chest rising up and down wasn't going to end well. She grazed her fingers slowly on his hardened chest, hoping to calm the fury rising beneath him.“That doesn't call for any trouble. She only threatened me.”“She has no fuckin' right to threaten you in my absence. I know my mom, she can be so mean.”“It's cool.” She mumbled, avoiding his eyes.“What exactly did she say?”“Nothing much.” She tried to wave it off.“Cassie? Tell me what she said.” His voice was cold and menacing.“That she will
Nick's father, Grey, woke up to a series of chatterings and arguments in his house. As soon as he stepped out of his room, his wife, Ava ran to him.“Darling, have you turned on the TV this morning? Look at what's in the media. Someone is setting my alpha son up.” He got the laptop she was holding immediately and scrolled through the pictures the media had of Nick. Evidence of all the company's funds he sent to his women were all over the space. A wild surge of pain pierced through his heart. For the past years he knew his son, he knew he had never used the company's funds for his own benefit.“Where is Nick?” He asked casually.“He left for an urgent meeting with the board of directors.”“Not my son! I trust him so well to believe this garbage. Take it away.”He returned back quickly to his room and sent a couple of emails to the board of directors.Nick was his complete heir to the company and fitted all round in all its affairs, except for his weakness for women which he believed
“I need to let you in on something.”“What's that?” Nick's brow furrowed on impulse.“I'm taking Cassie's properties to your penthouse. Lena is moving in with me.”“You afraid of fucking Lena in the same roof with Cassie?” Nick buckled up with laughter. “I hope she doesn't freak out.”“Only if you keep your dick down.” Marcus retorted. “Inform your guards.” He yelled.His body soon heated up from the thought of Cassie moving in to stay with him. On the contrary, he wasn't sure she would agree to it but even if she didn't, getting her an apartment of her own wasn't a big deal either. Whichever way, he knew he got her covered.His mom texted a few minutes later with an invitation for lunch the following day so they could talk things through, regarding the decision of the board members and he confirmed it immediately without needing to think about it.He noticed the sad expression of his workers, especially Miss Lance, his secretary. She had come to deliver his usual cup of coffee and so
As soon as they arrived at his penthouse, they had dinner immediately, took a warm shower and in no time, they were headed to Marcus’ place.He knocked twice before the door flew open.“Hi.. What a surprise!” Lena huffed, staring from Cassie to Nick and finally back to Cassie.“Good to see you Lena.” Cassie exclaimed. “Can we come in? Where's Marc?” Nick groaned.“Playing a video game. Of course, you two are highly welcome. Come in.”“Thank you.”“Lest I forget, you both look great together.” She grinned, trying to hide her full-blown surprise.”In a jiffy, Marcus walked in looking quite astonished. “Cass,” his voice was gentle as he went to her side. “I'm sorry I left you earlier on at the office. I didn't know how to tell you.” “Sshhh.." She opened her arms wide and gave him a warm hug. “Nick told me about it. Everything is cool now.” “Yeah, just that I wasn't expecting you two so quick.” She turned to Nick.“Cassie misplaced a piece of expensive jewelry her mom gave to her. Sh
His heart raced in response. She was hell bent on seducing him right from when she rubbed her body against him, making sure he felt her full boobs on his torso. And when he yanked her up, she imagined herself snuggled up on his body, exploring every inch of him.And then he carried her all the way down to his room, dropped her on the bed and planted a soft kiss on her lip. She wanted to kiss him back but he pulled away, promising to check on her later.What the fuck!She shuddered in a breath and whispered, “Don't leave me here alone.” She could swear the shock on his face was inevitable. She reached forward and cupped his chiseled jaw, pressing her lips gently against his. She moved down and planted warm kisses along his neckline, rubbing the stubble of beards that ran across his cheeks. She heard him suck in a breath from sheer need.“Cass if you keep doing this, I promise you my self-control will be gone.” His voice was hoarse and needy as he locked eyes with her.“You know how muc
Cassie woke up the next morning feeling a bit cold and when she rolled, she felt a bit of emptiness in the room. She looked around wondering where Nick could possibly be when a scent of mouthwatering coffee and freshly baked waffles wafted through her nostrils. She knew he was always an early riser but there were exceptions; it was the weekend. He had no right to leave her alone in bed. She grabbed a bunch of pillows, groaned and hugged them tightly, hating the fact that he wasn't still in bed with her for a morning cuddle.She tried to force herself back to sleep, burying her face consistently in the pillows. Almost immediately, she felt some movements in the room and tried as much as she could to remain still on the bed.He walked up to the bedside and pulled the pillows away, revealing her beautiful, pouted face.“Good morning sugar.” He dropped a lingering kiss on her lips.“Good morning,” she opened her eyes to meet his stormy grey eyes burning into her.“You slept great, didn't
