JAKEMy fingertips were itching, and my chest felt like exploding. Standing at the altar, I watched as she walked down the aisle, her beauty taking my breath away. I had to control my emotions. I had to control my heart. Damned, she was so young and beautiful. Her eyes sparkled with happiness, her smile radiant as she made her way towards me. Why so fucking slow? Was her dress heavy? Or maybe her heels.She drew closer, and I could feel my heart thumping in my chest. This was the moment I had been waiting for. Sheโd be mine forever. But wasnโt she mine in the first place? Yeah, right. She was mine, but now, finally and completely.Pride and possessiveness gripped my heart, but for how long? How long did I have to wait before I could peel this dress off her?I let out a soft breath. As crazy as it sounded, she was very determined to abstain from sex after that encounter with Conrad. I was initially scared, thinking she didnโt enjoy it, but she said she wanted to preserve something spec
JAKEKnown for its traditional temples, serene gardens, and rich cultural heritage, Kyoto offered us a unique and romantic experience. Bringing Cassie here was something I had wanted to do, especially since she loved animations. Japan was a country of her imagination. How cute that was.Cassieโs eyes sparkled with wonder as she took in the sights and sounds of Kyoto, her smiles infectious.As we strolled through the historic streets of Kyoto, we saw a group of elegant geisha walking gracefully in their traditional attire. Cassieโs eyes widened with wonder as she watched them, her fascination evident in the way she leaned forward, eager to catch every detail.I smiled at her excitement, feeling a swell of pride in my heart to show her this glimpse of Japanese culture. โTheyโre called geisha,โ I explained.Cassie turned to me, nodding eagerly. โIโve only seen them in anime. Theyโre so beautiful,โ she breathed, her voice filled with admiration.Sheโd likely say that because she saw beaut
โIโm alone now,โ whispered 8-year-old Cassandra, her innocent eyes bloodshot and swollen from relentless tears. Her heart felt so heavy. The anguish within her wouldnโt stop, and her heart-wrenching sobs echoed through the emptiness that surrounded her. A seemingly endless week had crawled by since the moment her foster parents were tragically laid to rest; stranding her in a world that suddenly felt lonely and cold. โNo one loves me. What should I do now?โHer foster parents unfortunately died in a car accident on the way home one evening, leaving Cassandra with everything. She couldnโt forget them, not when they showed her love no one had ever shown to her before. At six, they were her light in her very dark life, but now, her light was taken, and her life was in darkness again.A soft knock on the door made her wipe her tears and compose herself.โYou should sleep, Cassie; Iโll stay here with you. Come here,โ he opened his arms, inviting her onto his lap.She hesitated for a moment
CASSIEโJake, I donโt get why youโre being so difficult about this.โ I pouted, crossing my arms. Instead of his place, he brought me home. My home!He let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. The last time I remembered, his hair had these highlights and was a darker shade of brown, but now his hair was as black as the ravenโs. โDonโt you mind about what people might say about you staying in a manโs place? Youโre not thirteen anymore.โI knew I was messing with fire, but I didnโt care if I got burned. โWhy do I need to mind their business? We havenโt seen each other in years. I just want to stay with you.โ I nibbled on my inner cheek, hoping he would give in.He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to contain his exasperation. โThatโs exactly why I canโt let you stay over. Iโm protecting both of us from making a mess of things. Staying with me is not a good idea, Cassie.โI knew my eyes flashed with irritation despite my effort not to show it. โThen stay with me th
CASSIEScanning my eyes, this cafe was not so crowded roughly this time but at eleven, students would begin to occupy seats for their business.โSo, thatโs it? He stormed out of your room?โ Sasha asked, laughing. She knew everything about Jake. She was my best friend.โNo. He stormed out of the house.โ I sighed, leaning my chin on the book I had no interest in reading. Jake got mad and left me despite my pleas and apologies. His anger even boiled within reason when I couldnโt stop staring at his saluting soldier inside his sweatpants.โSeriously, Cass, youโre like stuck in this endless loop of emotional ping pong. Why donโt you give up? Jake is not for you. Yes, heโs hot, but there are other guys. Look at Carl. Give him a date already. Heโs handsome.โโHeโs just a friend. Carl is a good man. I canโt give him false hope. That wonโt be fair to him.โโYet, youโre keeping false hope yourself. Donโt force yourself on Jake. Youโll only get hurt. That night you cried your heart out, did he c
CASSIEโWhat are you doing? People are staring,โ I protested, trying to wrestle my hands from his firm grip, but it was like wrestling with a brick wall. Curious onlookers were openly casting their eyes our way.โLet them stare,โ he retorted, his tone icy and angry.โCaleb. Heโs still inside. I have to go back,โ I insisted, feeling his grip tighten as he pulled me along, trying to match his strides.I was scared. I could feel the anger radiating off him, the heat rising with every step toward the elevator at the back of the mall, leading to the basement. We were walking quickly, attracting more stares.Jake ignored my pleas, dragging me forcefully. All I could do was match his speed, avoiding eye contact with anyone who dared to watch us pass. Finally, we reached the elevator.โWhy are you doing this? What will Caleb think?โ I protested as he practically shoved me inside.โDo I look like I fucking care what the boy thinks?!โ Jake snapped, his voice cutting through the air.โBut I care
CASSIEI reached home.โSheโs here,โ I heard Rosa say on the phone before she hung up and walked to me, worry plastered on her face. โIt was Jake askingโwhat happened?โThe mention of his name, coupled with the realization that he hadnโt followed me home, hurt even more. โTrouble at school, Rosa,โ I said weakly, hoping she wouldnโt ask further.โTrouble at school? Bloodshot eyes, red nose, look at yourself, I donโt buy that. Jake called so I knew it was about Jake this time,โ she said, her concern deepening.Even to her, my feelings for Jake were not a secret. Like a mother, she had that instinct I couldnโt understand. I couldnโt lie to her. โSheโs with someone else, Rosa.โ Even though I tried to hold it, I still couldn't. Sniffling, I cried again, tears flowing, my throat aching. My knees couldnโt hold me anymore. I felt weak.โOh, little Cassie,โ Rosa murmured, wrapping her arms around me in a comforting hug. โDonโt you think itโs time to let it go? You deserve so much better, mi qu
CASSIESasha made a snorting sound, her eyes adorned with pretty long lashes, rolled to the roof. โIf I knew, you would only sulk at home, Cass. Tonightโs a good night to have fun. The examination has ended, and weโre free for the whole week.โBut Iโm tired. I need sleep,โ I said, glancing at my phone where there were no messages or calls from Jake. The hurt simmered beneath the surface, threatening to spill over.โNo โbuts,โ Cassie. You need to get out of your head. Let loose. Have a little fun. You need a distraction, something to take your mind off the mess with Jake. Maybe a night out with Carl or Caleb would help.โ She grinned and I nodded, offering her a small smile.โYou wonโt believe it, but Iโm telling you Iโm okay, really. Two days? I got over it, Sash. Believe me. Why donโt you go with Carl and Caleb instead? It will be fun.โ I raised a brow before giving her a challenging look. She blushed. โYou think I didnโt notice, huh?โโWhat? Notice what?โ her eyes looked innocently d

With a guttural groan, Jake came into my mouth, his essence flooding my senses with an intoxicating taste. I eagerly drank him in, savoring the taste as if it were the most exquisite honey. Jake coming into my mouth was the sexiest memory I had ever had to remember.I then felt Conradโs movement quickened, his cock reaching deeper into me. I had just come, but the stimulation triggered a mounting of pleasure inside me once again.As I swallowed Jakeโs release, Conradโs powerful thrusts intensified, making my walls clench around him. I clung desperately to Jakeโs legs for support, my body trembling with the overwhelming intensity.I could hear Jakeโs voice, low and raspy with desire, as he whispered sweet words and dirty words about how good I was. His words thrilled me, burning me.โFuck, sheโs so tight,โ Conrad rasped, his voice thick with desire. โSheโs taking every inch of me, Kingsley. Such a good girl.โHis words sent a shiver of pleasure racing down my spine, making me clench ar
The heat enveloped me from all directions, making me feel hot. They had asked me to strip down in front of them. Naked from the day I was born, I felt exposed and vulnerable, like a tiny object under the scrutiny of their piercing gaze. Their gaze was intense, their eyes dark and lusty, as if they were trying to read my every thought. The air in the living room seemed to be in constant motion as if it couldnโt decide which direction to take.It was unfair. I was unclothed, but Jake and Conrad were still fully clothed.The beads of sweat trickled down my forehead, tracing a path along my skin as I stood there, feeling the weight of their stares. Jake and Conrad lounged comfortably on the couch, but I felt both their dominance and authority, making something inside me submit to their will. I shifted uncomfortably, my bare feet gripping the plush carpet beneath me.โWhen you look like that, it makes me want to consume you whole, Little mouse,โ Jakeโs voice broke the tension, his smirk wi
I should have known that Jake would take the deal seriously because now I found myself pressed against the table, his hard steel poking my ass and his lips trailing kisses along my neck. โJake,โ I gasped, my fingers gripping the edge of the desk in his office as his hands roamed over my body.He lifted his head to grin at me, and our eyes met through the mirror on the wall, lust dancing in his eyes. Seeing myself blushing was so erotic. He was like a beast hovering over his prey. I never looked so small.โYou said the offer stood for tomorrow,โ he reminded me, his voice low and husky with desire.Bending me over his desk, he pulled my panties down. I gasped as the cool air hit my exposed skin, the anticipation sending thrills down my spine. โJake,โ I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper, my heart pounding in my chest.He leaned in close, his breath hot against my ear as he whispered, โI intend to make good on that offer.โWith trembling anticipation, I braced myself against the de
โYou shocked everyone, including me,โ I said, breaking the comfortable silence and playing with the bubbles. A sense of tranquility bathed me. Jakeโs strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me close as we settled in the bath. I could feel his hard chest pressing against my back.He hummed softly, his fingers trailing lazy circles along the skin on my arm as he leaned back against the edge of the tub. โI wanted to close your mouth with my tongue but decided against it,โ he replied, amused. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I leaned into his touch. โI know it was a bit sudden, but I wanted to see how serious you are about marrying me.โโWe can marry tomorrow if you want,โ I chuckled, reaching up to cup his cheek in my hand. I felt him lean against my palm, โI couldnโt be happier, Jake.โWe sat in comfortable silence for a moment, the only sound the gentle lapping of the water against the sides of the tub. It was a moment of perfect peace and calmness.โIโm just surprised
Jake pushed me back onto the bed, his breath hot on my neck. Nipping on the skin, his fingers hooking into my panties and pulling them off. I squirmed beneath him, my body aching for his touch, but we needed to go down immediately. Sasha would soon arrive with Caleb and Carl. Yes, that surprised me, but I couldnโt dwell on that, not when Jake was doing this to me.Despite that, I couldnโt resist his touch, but I should.With a reluctant sigh, I gently pushed him, โJake, we have dinner plans, remember? Everyone will be waiting for us.โHe smirked, his eyes twinkling with mischief. โThis is what you get when you take so much time choosing what clothes to wear and made me wait. Dinner can wait a little longer.โโOnce Sasha and the others arrive, we have to go down,โ I said and swatted his hands.โOh, come on,โ he growled like a child. โWeโll just be fashionably late. They can survive a few more minutes without us.โHis little pout made me laugh. โYouโre incorrigible, you know that?โโGui
I had been speechless for I didnโt know how long. I was just so shocked I couldnโt say anything but watch Jake as he spoke with the woman who was showing us the ring!!!!!As Jake and the woman talked, my heart raced with a whirlwind of emotions. In front of me was a display of exquisite rings, each one more beautiful than the last. But it was the reason why we were here that left me speechless. He was right. I would never expect heโd bring me to a place like this.Jake turned to me with a smile, something in his eyes I couldnโt read. โWhat do you think, Cassie?โI struggled to find the right words, my heart pounding in my chest, โTheyโre... incredible,โ I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper.He nodded, and a small smile graced his lips. โI thought youโd like them. Do you want to take a closer look?โI followed him eagerly as he led me to the display case, my eyes drawn to the dazzling array of rings before us. Each one seemed to sparkle with its own unique brilliance, but
I slid under the covers, the sheet covering me in its warmth. I waited, my heart still skittish in my chest. In my ears, the silence grew more pronounced. What was he doing? I could also hear his breathing on the line.Unable to bear the suspense any longer, I ended the call and closed my eyes. Seconds, and I heard him open the door. My heart leaped in my chest as his footsteps approached.Our eyes met, and I felt like a thousand unspoken words passed between us. He looked very handsome even in the dim light. His hair was tousled as if his fingers had been running through it. There was a slight furrow in his brow as he looked at me. I couldnโt read his expression. I just couldnโt read Jake at all. Despite the tension between us, I wanted to jump at him and kiss him deeply.I held my breath, waiting for him to break the silence, to say something, anything that would bridge the gap between us.Without a word, he climbed onto the bed and slid under the covers beside me. The warmth of his
