2. Reunion

Her heart escapes a beat against the sight of Mathias, he had lost nothing from his attractive body. He is wearing a two-piece suit and looks dashing in it. The man still looks incredibly athletic and his handsome face lits up with a charming smile as he enters the garden.

Cassie's core begins to throb like it did when she saw him in the old days. With an urge to talk to him, she gets closer to his side. However, before she reaches there, Cassie's father greets his friend with a warm hug. She slows her pace and watches them chatting.

When Mathias notices her with the corner of his eye, he turns to look at her and his brows slightly knit together. Their eyes meet and Cassie feels that familiar warm wind blowing between her legs. She approaches more, wondering if he recognizes her.

The second she reaches them, someone calls her father for his help and Cassie inwardly thanks that person, she is alone with Mathias now.

"Hi, Mr. Raptis." She extends her hand to him as she smiles warmly. "I am-"

"Cassie." Mathias interrupts her with a pleased face, slowly holds her hand. Before she surprises with joy against his reaction, she feels a delight shiver run from her hand through her arm with his touch.

"Oh, you remember me." Cassie feels her cheeks are getting red. She resists the urge of biting her lips to suppress her smile.

"I would recognize this delicate figure wherever I see it." Mathias confidently says and Cassie's surprise grows. His voice is serious and he doesn't sound witty. She desperately wants him to elaborate his declaration.

"How so?" Cassie asks as trying to look calm, however, a fire is ignited inside her core and grows under her dream man's intense gaze.

Mathias takes a step towards her as his hand gently squeezes hers. His warm breath licks Cassie's face while he murmurs with a warm gaze. "I had watched you enough to recognize it while you were stretching in that patio."

He. Did. Not.

Is she daydreaming right now or the man of her dreams is flirting with her?

Cassie's breathing gets even faster, she feels her pussy releases warm fluids onto her panties. Heat crawls through her neck till her face is already reddened.

Her lips slowly part in wonder and Mathias's eyes drop onto her mouth. She watches how his pupils dilate as his fingers twitch around her hand.

God, how can this be true? He is lusting after...her? Mathias Raptis, the most forbidden fantasy of her life, has an interest in Cassie?

She bites her bottom lip to see his reaction and the man swallows hard, he can't rip his eyes from her mouth. Cassie tries not to blush or giggle, she needs to show Mathias that she is a grown woman now.

"Actually..." She slowly speaks as caressing his palm with her middle finger. Their eyes meet and she keeps talking with a sensual voice. "I like stretching everywhere."

Flames dance behind Mathias's eyes against her naughty words and a crooked smile appears on his face. Cassie smiles as biting her lip again and he leans to her face like he is going to whisper something. However, her father turns back to their side and Mathias straightens, lets her hand go.

"The next time you should come earlier, buddy." Cassie's father speaks as he hands a beer to Mathias.

"I hope I can, Peter." He replies with a sincere voice and takes the bottle. "Work stuff."

Cassie listens to this dull exchange with frustration. Their moment is gone, Mathias's full attention is on his friend now.

Her father turns to Cassie with a genuine smile. "See? How much has my princess daughter grown?"

She tries hard not to roll her eyes with embarrassment. Princess? Then her father caresses Cassie's hair with compassion and something dies inside her. Please dad, not now... He didn't have to pet her in front of this man, like she was a little toddler.

Fortunately, Mathias doesn't seem like he is taken aback. "Yes, Peter." His intense gaze is on her face again, he murmurs with appreciation. "She has."

Was it possible for her panties to get more wet? They are, now.

“Hey buddy. Remember my brother in law?” Peter asks with annoyance. “The Blue Coats fan.” Cassie’s father has never got along with her uncle because of his fanaticism of the Long Island Hornets.

“Don’t tell me he is here.” A cocky smile appears on Mathias’s face and Cassie bites her lower lip, she needs his attention back but her father makes it impossible.

“He dared to show up in here, Long Island with his team uniform after we beat their asses.” Peter sends an arm around his friend’s shoulder and drags him toward another direction. “Can you believe his audacity?!”

Her father didn’t even let Mathias say goodbye to her. Cassie whimpers with frustration as watching her dream man leaving. She has to find out if Mathias is truly interested in her or he was just entertaining himself.

While her father speaks about his plans of sparing the beers from the rival fans, Mathias looks over his shoulder back to meet Cassie’s eyes. Her heart escapes a beat as she freezes on her feet. He winks at her surprised face with that cocky smile and turns his head.

Oh my God!

He definitely is interested in her the way Cassie is for him. Yes, it sounds crazy but hell, it’s true!

Cassie presses her hand onto her stomach, feeling butterflies wildly racing in there. Biting her lip as smiling, she watches Mathias going away with his friend.

But Cassie has no intention to let him go far.
