Collared by the Valentino twins 98. Family dinner II
Rowan Valentino~•~"Should we be expecting you to bring a woman home anytime soon?" Mother asked as we finished eating.Damon bit his lip in annoyance. "Why don't you hound Matteo and Rowan about marriage as well?""You're their older brother. They look up to you. You have to live by example."Damon shot lasers at us with his eyes when Matteo and I chuckled under our breaths. "Well, ma, I'm not ready for marriage.""Are you sure?" Her voice softened. "If you're seeing someone, no matter who it is, you can tell us. You know we won't judge. Your brothers are with one woman.""And you are not entirely comfortable with that," I added."That doesn't mean I try to stop you. As long as it makes you happy.""How many times will I tell you all that I am not gay? Trust me, if I was, you'd know."Tasha snickered. While we all teased Damon about it, my mom actually believed that Damon was gay and was dating his best friend. According to her, that was the only plausible excuse for him being singl

Matteo Valentino~•~The door to my childhood bedroom burst open and I got ready to glare at the culprit."You won't fucking believe it." My twin brother said as he approached my bed."What's up?""Cassie. That's what's up."That got my attention fast. I sat up on the bed and the sheets fell to my waist. "Is something wrong with her?""That guy, Rafael. Did she tell you they were old friends?"I thought back to the night when I met the guy. "He introduced himself to me as an old friend. She didn't dispute it. What's wrong?""Well, the guy happens to be her ex-boyfriend. The one she was with when she first met us.""You won't be this angry if that was the only problem.""The day I went to pick her friend up from their apartment to go look at the house, he was there. He chased Jules out of the building and I caught a glimpse of him then, but Cassie said he's not a problem."My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Why would Cassie lie to us like that? If he was stalking her, he was dangerous
Collared by the Valentino twins 100. No more secrets
Cassandra Salvatore~•~As soon as my alarm rang, the doorbell rang as well.I frowned, yawning sleepily. Who could be here as early as seven?The doorbell rang again and I waited a bit to see if anyone was going to get it but when it rang for the third time, I groaned and stood up from my bed.I put on my flip-flops and exited my room, taking the staircase two at a time.The doorbell rang for the fourth time."What kind of impatient person is behind the door?" I muttered to myself as I pulled it open.I was certain I was still dreaming because Matteo and Rowan were standing in front of me. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing clearly.They pushed the door further open and stepped inside. "What are you guys doing here?"Instead of answering my question, Matteo said, "You told me Rafael was an old friend.""What?" I was confused about the sudden topic. Why were they suddenly talking about Rafael?"Why was Rafael at your house on Thursday?"My brows furrowed. Even Jules didn't kno

TW: SUICIDE, DEPRESSION & USE OF DRUGSPLEASE SKIP IF THIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH Cassandra Salvatore~•~Both of the stepped back from me like they had been torched. I laughed bitterly. This was exactly what I was talking about. They wanted me to spill my deepest darkest secrets to them yet they couldn't be transparent with me.Make it make sense, please!My tongue poked the inside of my cheek and I unlocked my door, drawing it open. "Get out.""Cassie—""Get out," I repeated, my tone harsher than before. I didn't want to listen to the lies they would swindle that would make me okay with being in the dark when it came to their personal lives. "Since you can't trust me with your secrets and believe this 'no secrets' thing is one-sided, I'd kindly suggest you leave right now.""No."I looked at Matteo in disbelief. "No?"He walked toward me and banged the door shut, locking it again. "No." He reiterated."And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" I crossed my arms on
Collared by the Valentino twins 102. A different therapist
Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Does this mean this space thing we were giving each is over now?"I chuckled at Rowan's question. Honestly, I wasn't so keen on being away from them this long. It had been a whole week since I'd seen them and it felt like something was missing in my life."Yes. I don't want you to feel like you're too much.""We're over it now, Cassie. Losing a loved one is never easy but we've had people around us that make it easier.""I'm so glad.""You're one of those people, Cass."I didn't know whether or not that was a compliment and I was relieved when Matteo popped up his own question. "You'll be coming back to work then? I've missed you around the office.""Well, about that…""Uh oh." Rowan didn't let me speak. "She's about to quit on us.""I won't blame her honestly." Matteo concurred. "She must get tired of seeing us at work and also at home.""It's not that." I chuckled, glad they were able to joke again even after the heavy topic we just discussed. "It's just—" I
Collared by the Valentino twins 103. No exceptions
Cassandra Salvatore~•~The next day, I resumed working in their company and it was like nothing changed because I still got the usual stares, but this time, there were whispers.Most of them were about the fact that I hadn't been at work for a week which made me start to wonder if they were keeping tabs on me and it continued for the next few weeks.Matteo got me a new laptop while Rowan got me a phone. When I confronted them on it, Matteo said not having a laptop would affect my work rate and it was true, considering the fact that I had been using Lauretta's laptop. Rowan, on the other hand, said it was an apology gift but I knew deep down, he just wanted to get rid of my old one.I liked the fact that they wanted to spend on me but I didn't want to seem like a gold digger who was with them just because of their money.I'd relayed this to them but they assured me that they didn't think of me as one seeing as I'd never asked them to spend on me.There was no winning against the Vale

Cassandra Salvatore~•~"I'm so excited that Thanksgiving is close. A little break from work." Hilary sighed exaggeratedly, shaking her head so that her braids bounced. She was on blue braids that fitted her very well. Then she paused and looked at me. "You don't have any problem with breaks. You can take one whenever you want.""What do you mean?"I knew asking that question was a bad decision when she answered in an obvious tone. "You're fucking one of the bosses. Just bat your pretty eyes at him and, boom, vacation."I couldn't help but laugh. "You're silly. And can you be any louder?"She took it as a challenge. "Wanna try me?""No, please, no." I looked around the cafeteria, hoping no one could hear what we were talking about. "Because I now consider you a friend—""You didn't before?"I ignored her, already knowing she was playing around. We hadn't talked much but she was someone I knew I could trust. "I'll tell you this, but you have to promise me you won't say it to anyone els
Collared by the Valentino twins 105. Fuck my mouth
Cassandra Salvatore~•~I'd told Rowan to surprise me and surprise me he did.Instead of the restaurant he had planned for us to go to, he decided we should chill at home and eat junk.I'd told him that I didn't think that was advisable as I already ate pizza and was looking forward to modeling, but he assured me we were going to work it out.He meant sex."This is nice though," I admitted.Rowan and I were cuddled up under his sheets while a movie was playing on his TV. "It is, isn't it?" He kissed the top of my head softly.I loved any time I got with the men.I loved hanging out with them just like this, but—One of Rowan's hands was on my thigh, drawing small circles with his finger and I took his hand, moving it up and under my shirt.I heard him chuckle but I wasn't deterred.I guided his hand until it was on my breast and I left it there. Rowan squeezed. "Such a bad girl." He whispered.I looked back and placed a kiss on his cheek before I continued to focus on the movie.Appar
