LOGINCASSIUS"Why do you look so lost?"Enzo’s voice snapped the tether of my thoughts. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes against the mental static. How could I tell my best friend that Marielle had lived rent-free in my head since that night? How could I admit that I was mind-fucking a girl who was my best friend’s daughter…a girl my own niece's age?…Fuck me… I rubbed my face, feeling the grit of exhaustion and guilt. Enzo sat forward, his gaze narrowing. He knew me too well."Marielle," I finally gritted out.The mere sound of her name made my pants tighten. My throat went dry. I could still feel the phantom heat of her skin under my palms. She was an intoxicant, a drug I hadn't realized I was addicted to until the first hit. The image of her legs parted, my hand buried deep in her heat... it made me want to hear her scream my name again."Something seems out of control," Enzo noted.He wasn't wrong. My restraint was fraying at the edges. "Something happened," I confessed. "Between
MARIELLE Cassius’ words played on a loop in my head, a cruel melody I couldn't switch off. I sat in the backseat of his car, the leather cool against my skin, while he sat beside me like a mountain of ice.I stared down at my lap, but my peripheral vision was locked on him. His hand rested casually on his thigh..thick veins, long fingers. My cheeks flared with heat. I knew exactly what those fingers felt like inside me. I squeezed my legs together, the phantom tingle making my breath hitch. I could only imagine the things a man like him could do if he truly let himself go.When the car stopped, the door was pulled open. I stepped out and nearly bumped into Enzo Belmonte. He was Cassius’ best friend and manager, the shadow that followed him everywhere. He gave me a knowing look that made me shrink back. I’d always been shy..intimidated by men in general but Cassius was different. I didn't just feel shy around him; I felt…consumed. I loved him, even if the weight of that word terrifie
CASSIUS“ ..The fuck did I just do? “I cursed myself as I looked down at the fragile figure passed out from pure exhaustion. Marielle lay there like a masterpiece, her dark brown, naturally wavy hair clinging to her damp skin.My eyes traced the frantic rise and fall of her chest, moving from the pale line of her neck to the perfect curve of her breasts. Her nipples were erect, practically begging to be pinched, and I had to clench my fists to keep from reaching out.My gaze dropped further…to the dip of her waist and the flare of her hips. I wanted her. I wanted to take her right right then and there, but I forced myself to stay still. She was my late best friend’s daughter. She was nineteen; I was twice her age. I was her uncle.Finally, my eyes landed on the slick mess she’d created between her legs. I closed my eyes, gulping down the hard lump in my throat. I was Cassius Marchetti.I was a man who knew his needs, a man who prided himself on control. But at this moment, control wa
MARIELLEI could feel his intense dangerous gaze on me. It made me tremble with shame and fear. My hand reached out and grabbed the duvets. I pulled them over my body to cover up.He stood there with no expression on his face. But darkness came from his aura. I felt so ashamed to be caught like this. I could not lift my eyes to look at him. My heart pounded in my chest like a drum.My face felt flushed. I tried to cover every inch of my body so he could not see. Suddenly I felt him walk towards me. I closed my eyes tight. I was ready for the worst scolding and embarrassment.“W-why are you-you here?”The words came out of my lips as soon as I felt him next to the bed. I opened my eyes slowly. I saw his fists clenched tight. That made me close my eyes again. I was scared of his reaction. I could not predict what he would do.“I-I am s-sorry- I just-”“Do you have any idea how worried everyone is?”I opened my eyes and looked up at him slowly. Now I could see him clearly under the light.
MARIELLEI stood in front of the small house which was supposed to be my home. Rain poured down on me hard but I did not care at all. I felt cold and drenched from head to toe but the pain inside my heart was much worse than any rain.It had been two years since my father passed away.He was the man I truly loved and the man I was so proud of. I was his princess and he was my everything. He was the best father I could ever imagine. The coolest dad I could ever have.It was already late at night and I wanted to spend this time alone. I did not want anyone to interrupt me or come into my memories with my father.I knew my family would be searching for me but no one knew about this place. It was a secret just between me and my dad. He gave me this house on my sixteenth birthday and we always came here every year on my birthday until last year.I took a deep breath and walked to the front door. I unlocked it with my fingerprint and stepped inside. The whole house lit up with lights right
