LOGINCASSANDRAMarco and Devika were seated, engaged in a conversation. But as soon as I stepped in, their eyes turned to me, my gaze locking with Marco's. For one stupid second, it felt cinematic, and I was enjoying the attention I pulled until my eyes and mind decided to disrupt it. My eyes caught something, and my mind was already analyzing and dissecting. Devika and Marco. They were sitting beside each other; it had never happened before. Even when Marco and I hadn’t fucked, she always sat chairs away from him. Did I perhaps interrupt something?I swallowed hard, trying to convince myself it didn’t matter, but didn’t it? Marco and I weren’t in a relationship. For all I know, he might still be busy with them while fucking me. I was meant to take the chair at the extreme end, put distance between us, and pretend I didn’t care.Instead, my traitorous legs carried me straight to the seat opposite Devika… and right beside Marco.I pulled out the chair and sat.No need to greet Devika.
CASSANDRA“I’ll be occupied today,” Marco said, his fingers working the last button on the shirt I’d borrowed from him. “We will meet later in bed tonight.”That last sentence struck something in me, but I ignored it. “Okay,” I murmured, my voice barely a whisper. We had just finished showering for the second time today, and my body still felt sore and tired. I badly needed to replenish my energy. He finished with the button, his hands lingering for a moment before standing to his feet. “Let’s go, your stomach rumblings are getting louder.”“Go ahead,” I replied, forcing a smile on my face. “I just need a moment, but I’ll join you soon.” Marco’s eyes met mine, and he stood, studying my face for a moment before leaning in and pressing a gentle kiss on my forehead. “Don’t stay too long.” The door closed behind him with a soft click. I let out a deep breath I didn’t know I was holding as I fell back to the bed. Those disturbing and questioning thoughts I had tried to quiet down c
CASSANDRA A soft moan escaped from my lips as I snuggled deeper into the unfamiliar warmth. It felt too good, and I pushed myself closer without thinking. Hard. Broad. Tiny nipples. Chest! Marco’s chest. My movement stopped, my eyes snapping open. Marco’s hands were wrapped around my waist, our chests pressed together, and I wondered how we’d even managed to breathe all through the night. His lips were so close to mine— almost touching. A shiver ran down my spine as my eyes lingered on them. I was supposed to pull away, create distance, but instead I found myself staring at him. He didn’t look like the devil in his sleep. My eyes caught a faint scar on his jawline, and before I could stop myself, I reached for it, grazing it softly. I hated to admit it, but this man was handsome…he exuded a certain type of hotness that had me staring like an idiot even while he slept.“Are you done?” his deep baritone voice cut through the haze and I jumped backwards immediately, my heart
MARCOThe door shut behind her with a soft click. I remained at the spot, anger and frustration surging through my veins. Of all times to interrupt! It just had to be when I was with her. My gaze dropped to the desk—the image of her naked while I fucked her hard forming in my head. Her taste still lingered on my tongue, and my cock was still throbbing hard, reminding me of how close I’d come to taking her right here.“Arr…hrrm,” Dante cleared his throat loudly, and I averted my gaze to him, a frown etched on my face. “Marco, I…”“Get out!” I cut in, my voice cold and thunderous. Dante looked like he wanted to argue when I added, “Come back when you’ve learned some manners!”He retraced his steps back to the door, closing it and—this time—knocking like a normal person would. I pressed the button, the door opening automatically. “This mustn’t repeat itself, Dante.” I warned, my voice rough. “I deserve my privacy, and so anytime you need to enter my office, you knock! Is that unders
CASSANDRA My hands reached for a blanket, shivering as cold seeped through my body. But there were only pillows. I pulled one closer to my chest, burying my face in it, and that was when my nostrils caught that scent—masculine, intoxicating—Marco. My eyes flickered open slowly, my body aching as I took in my surroundings.His room. He wasn’t here, and I had no pants or bra on, just his shirt hanging loosely below my butt. Memories of last night hit me, and instead of jumping off or panicking, I just lay there staring at the ceiling. I savored it…all of it. Every fragment, every thrust, the kisses, his touch, those dirty whispers that made me begging for more. The way I didn’t care about the aftermath, I just wanted him so badly, and now…I heaved a deep breath, about to stand up when the door opened.My breath hitched…thinking it was Marco. Instead, a maid walked in, carrying a tray of food. “Good morning, ma’am,” she greeted as she approached me. “Signor Marco asked that I b
MARCOThe video played again on my phone, Dante standing beside me, silent except for the occasional grunt of frustration. I could feel my blood boiling. “Alessandro…” Dante muttered, his voice cold. “He must have witnessed that incident at the club.”I didn’t respond. My eyes were fixated on the video, my body trembling in rage…Her face…hands…all bloody!What did he do to her?“What if he pulls the trigger, Marco?” Her voice was shaky, her eyes almost teary. I had never seen her this scared. Then came Alessandro’s voice. Fuck, I was going to murder him! His lips curved into a sickly smile, and before I could stop myself, I threw the phone against the wall, my eyes blazing with anger. “Who the fuck was on duty?!”Dante heaved a deep breath. “It was raining heavily, the—”“That’s not a fucking excuse,” I snapped, unable to contain my rage. “Raining or not, someone should have noticed. How could they enter my premises and no one saw them?”“Could be an insider’s job,” he responded
