INICIAR SESIÓNWhat the heck? Was this ever going to end?Cassian was starting to feel quite irritated.Vera was still waiting for him in the bedroom, yet just after he'd ended the call with Anthony, someone came knocking on the door.Cassian decided to ignore it. No matter what it was, it couldn't be more important than what he was about to do. He was already roaring to go.However, the knocking didn't stop.Annoyed, Cassian yanked the door open, only to see Frank and Zoey standing outside."What are you two doing here?" he asked in surprise."It's been a while, Ashton," Frank said with a smile."How did you two find me here?" Cassian questioned."We—hey!" Zoey abruptly shrieked and covered her eyes, her face turning bright red.Only then did Cassian realize he was wearing nothing but his underwear.Frank raised his eyebrows, remarking, "Did we interrupt your fun, Cassian?""What do you want?" Cassian snapped irritably.The smile slid off Frank's face as he replied in a solemn manner, "
"So, what exactly are you calling me about this late? Get to the point. I'm really busy," Cassian said, hurrying Anthony along."I'm calling you about something urgent," Anthony said, his tone suddenly turning serious. "Can you talk right now?"Oh? Was there actually something Anthony needed to discuss with him?After gesturing to Vera, Cassian walked out to the living room and said, "You can talk now.""Have you heard of the Shadow Aegis before, Cassian?"Cassian replied, "Not only have I heard of them before, but I've also run into a couple of them before. But I don't know much about just what they are.""Then let me briefly explain the origins of the Shadow Aegis," Anthony said."Affiliated with the military, it's a mysterious and extremely powerful special operations unit. Their existence is primarily to defend the country, safeguard territorial security, and maintain social stability."The founder and supreme commander of the Shadow Aegis is Jonah Sinclair, whom we all kno
Vera had already prepared herself for this. She closed her eyes, letting Cassian unzip her gown. The zipper was just about to be pulled all the way down when suddenly, Cassian's phone rang.The abrupt sound startled both of them, who were caught up in the moment, and ruined the mood.Vera opened her eyes and narrowed them at Cassian, asking, "Is that Serena, nagging you to go back and spend the night with her?"Cassian felt a bit panicked himself. If it really was Serena calling, then chances were Vera would get angry and refuse to go any further with him.He fished the phone out of his pocket and exhaled in relief when he saw the caller."Who is it?" Vera asked."Nino Kingley," Cassian replied before declining the call without any hesitation.He wrapped his arms around Vera's waist, his lower abdomen pressing up against her. But her body went stiff, and she looked quite tense."Cassian, I… I'm scared," she stammered.Now that it had really come, she felt extremely nervous.C
"We're not attending any event," Vera said."Then why do I need to get changed?" Cassian was a little confused."I want you to dance with me," Vera said."Did I hear that right, Vera? You want me to dance with you?""You heard right. Dance with me."Cassian eyed Vera strangely, silently wondering if there was something wrong with her.Why would they dance in the middle of the night?Besides, it was just the two of them at home. Even if they were going to dance, was there really any need to make it seem like some kind of formal dance, with the showering and the changing of clothes?Looking at Cassian, Vera said solemnly, "I want you to dance with me. Is that okay with you?"In an instant, the situation dawned on him.People liked adding a sense of occasion to their lives. He figured she was probably doing this for that reason, too, so he agreed to it."Wait for me. I'll shower and get changed."Sure enough, she beamed once he said that.Cassian rushed into the bathroom at t
Some people said the most agonizing thing in the world was waiting. Cassian hadn't believed it before, but he did now.Vera was showering in the bathroom, while Cassian waited anxiously in the living room as time quietly slipped by.But even after 15 minutes had passed, Vera still hadn't come out.Cassian was starting to get restless, as if he was anxiously waiting to use the bathroom, but it was occupied.It felt like pure torture.Soon, 20 minutes had passed, and he still hadn't heard anything coming from Vera's bedroom. He was tempted to use the All-Seeing Eye to see what she was doing inside there.Did it take that long to shower?Just then, the bedroom door opened.Vera poked her head out and said, "Turn off the lights, Cassian.""What for?" he asked in confusion."Just do as I say, and hurry up!" Vera urged impatiently.He figured she was feeling embarrassed about standing before him in her birthday suit. After all, most women wanted the lights off during their first t
"It's too hot," Vera said before undoing a button on her top, revealing her fair skin.Cassian's heart started pounding wildly."Do you feel hot?" Vera asked Cassian as she undid a second button.Even more of her skin was now on display.Cassian hurriedly shifted his gaze, not daring to look any longer. He could feel the blood rushing in his veins. At the same time, he suddenly realized that this situation felt oddly familiar.The last time he drank with Vera at her place, she'd also started undoing her buttons.Why was she repeating it now? What was she trying to do?Cassian glanced over just in time to see Vera putting her hands on the next button. Without blinking, he stared right at her hands. The moment she undid another button, he would be blessed with a view of her snowy mounds.But she stopped there.Her hands were gripping the button, but she just didn't seem to be undoing it.Cassian felt restless, as if ants were crawling over his skin. It was quite uncomfortable—a
