Chapter 3: Took Her Home

Riccardo POV:

"Cassie... Cassie, wake up. Why are you drinking so much? Cassie..." I called her out a few times while tapping her blushing red cheeks. Her face felt hot even though she was just wearing a black mini tube dress. The sight of her bare thighs provoked my manly desire and so I looked away from her instantly, trying to control the stirring emotion in my mind right now.

Cassie slowly opened her eyes and grabbed my thigh. She pulled it in a way that made me face her. She casually just looked me directly in the eyes. We hadn't met for seven years, so at this point, the only thing that crossed my mind was the question of whether she remembered me or not.

"Mister, you look so hot. A bit older but somewhat similar to my ex... Ricky..." she complimented me while cupping my chin with her right palm. Yet, her expression changed to a hateful one when she mentioned my name.

Then she suddenly took out her phone from her clutch and scrolled her gallery, clinking on a picture and it got enlarged. She showed the picture to me and guessed what? It was a picture of me from seven years ago when I was still in college. I couldn't help but chuckle and she shot me an icy glare instantly.

"Why are you laughing? Do you think I'm a joke?" She grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"No no. I'm not. You just look cute right now," I replied.

She smiled shyly and pulled her gaze away from me. She put away her phone and then grabbed my right hand, putting it on her lap as if allowing me to touch her.

"You passed. I can do it with you," she said sensually again.

"Do what exactly?" I asked. Although, I understood clearly what she meant.

"Can I kiss you?" Cassie asked out of a sudden and didn't even wait for my response. She swiftly just wrapped her arms around my neck and tried to move her body to sit on my lap.

"No no no no... sit back. Just sit back first," I pushed her body back to her seat, but she daringly locked her lips to mine forcefully. I quickly grabbed her shoulder and pushed her backwards, breaking the kiss. I swiftly pulled the safety belt and fastened it for her.

"Stay, okay? Stay still for a while," I said to her. She immediately let out a sulky moaning sound and showed a sullen face with her lips pouted. What in a world? That behaviour was totally out of my expectation.

I started the car and drove promptly. Cassandra behaved nicely. She was quiet and just stayed still while staring out of the window, well I'm not really sure about it. She looked away from me so I didn't know if her eyes were opened or closed. It started raining lightly outside and it was awkwardly quiet inside the car. So, I turned on the radio for some music.

"It was boring, isn't it?" She asked rhetorically.

"What?" I was confused.

I glanced at her a bit before focusing on the road again. She had this kind of depressing look on her face and that sent some kind of uneasy feelings to my heart.

"You want to know something, mister? I always thought that I need to love a man before I can sleep with him. But tonight... I'm going to prove myself wrong. I don't need to love before I can sleep with a man. I can just do it right away! I just need to make sure that the guy was good-looking enough, just like you..." She spoke with some kind of determination in her tone.

"Do you even know who you're talking to right now, Cassie?" I asked slowly, didn't really expect her to respond to it. But she snickered, probably hearing it clearly.

"A stranger obviously..." she replied and smiled for no reason. She sighed heavily after and it seemed like she was preparing to tell me something.

"On Monday... I'm going to start working with the most powerful CEO in the country. He owned RX Corp. It's my dream job. A person like him would surely travel a lot for work. Being his secretary, I could follow him around. I'm not planning to get married, but you see... there was this tiny bitch who always wanted to compete with me in everything. She's so annoying sometimes. So if somehow my boss happened to be a fine young man, I would probably try to seduce him and make him want to marry me. That way... I could beat Tina again on having the best man," she told me her secret plan intentionally and that made me truly dumbfounded.

"So... you... plan to sleep with your boss?" I asked and she nodded simply.

"But I need to practice first... with you! I never sleep with anyone else after Ricky..." she broke out crying a bit and wiped her eyes after a few seconds. I only gaped the whole time. I didn't even know what to say to her right now.

"But I need to be drunk enough to do this. Or else I can't," she whispered after.

"So, this is just an experiment for you? To try sleeping with somebody else again?"

"Ahuh..." she confirmed it. So that was why she was drinking so much tonight. She wanted to lose her sanity, so she could sleep with a stranger.

"Aren't you afraid that I might do something bad to you? Don't you even want to know who I am?"

"Why would someone like you do something bad at me? You drove a Lamborghini, if things go south between us, you could just pay me some compensation," she said while chuckling. Her finger was pointing at the car logo on my steering wheel.

"That CEO... the one that you're going to work with later... do you even know who he is?" There was no way Cassie didn't look it over. She must have known it was me. But then, there was also a possibility that my late father's name was still stated as the owner of RX Corp on the company website. It had been three years since his death but I never told the IT Department to remove his name from the top hierarchy of the company management chart.

She shook her head and so I stopped talking. So, she did not know that it was me. The atmosphere suddenly turned into a quiet ride. She just stared out of the window motionlessly and after some time, I was quite sure she had fallen asleep.

That night, I didn't take Cassie to my mansion. Instead, I took her to my other residence, the smallest condominium I owned. I figured that she might feel uncomfortable if she suddenly woke up inside a large mansion in the middle of nowhere. My mansion was built on top of a hill overseeing the view of the sea. It was like a fortress there and the residence was surrounded by high walls and guarded by fifty of my men. It was not the best place for her to wake in the morning. The last thing I wanted was for her to get a panic attack thinking that maybe she was kidnapped.

When we arrived at my condo, I put her straight onto the bed. She looked uncomfortable with the mini tube dress she wore as if that dress suffocated her. So, I took it off for her and she was left naked. Cassie was really daring. I couldn't believe that she had only worn that single piece of dress to the nightclub before. No bra, no panties. This woman was unbelievable.

I turned off all the lights but left one on, the lamp on the bedside table. I just lay beside Cassie and stared at her face, a true beauty. My eyes slowly rolled down to see her neck, her collarbone and her ample bosom covered under the blanket. 

How I wished I could touch that body again. Wait, of course, I can. She said it herself that she wanted to have it with me tonight. Sleeping with a stranger, but then again, lucky for her, I was not that much of a stranger.

Slowly, I slipped my body under the blanket and went to hug her amorously. She didn't show any sign of refusal. Instead, she circled her arms around my neck and locked her lips with mine while her eyes shut close. Maybe Cassie didn't want to save this moment inside her memory. But on the contrary, I sure did want to remember this forever. I finally got to taste her body again after seven years.
