LOGINMarina strolled into the living room to see Roselyn relaxed on the couch, her eyes surveying the room as if she had just discovered something new in there. She smiled upon seeing Marina, standing to welcome her with a brief hug.“Look at my friend, all beautiful and glowing.” Her gaze drifted to Marina’s stomach. “How’s the baby?”Marina returned her smile, lowering herself on the couch. “The baby is fine,” she said, rubbing her belly. “You didn’t inform me you were coming over.” She noticed the urgency in the way Roselyn looked at her.Roselyn sat next to her. “After watching the news last night, I called several times to make sure you were fine, and to let you know that I’d be coming over today.” Her lips stretched, forming a teasing smile Marina recognized too well. “Considering how Cassian defended you last night, I figured you might be very busy with him all through the night.” She emphasized, expecting a reaction from her friend.Marina scoffed in disbelief, not responding to he
The gala was over. Cassian was back at the lawyer’s office for the revelation of the condition his late parents wanted him to meet before taking over as the Chairman of the Vale Empire.There was an unusual smile on the lawyer’s face as he kept his eyes on Cassian.“The gala is the talk of the town. Better than any gala that’s ever been hosted in the history of Morvane. I must commend you, Cassian. You did great.”“I’m here for the condition.” Cassian shot back coldly. They needed to get to business.“The little drama that unfolded made it even more popular.” The older man pretended not to have noticed the impatience edging Cassian’s tone and expression.“What’s the condition?” His voice was sterner now.“Don’t be in a hurry,” he was still smiling, starting to piss Cassian off. “I should praise you for a gala well hosted. Your parents must be so proud of you for not letting their legacy down.” He gathered his hands together, dropping them on the table. “Your parents wanted you to host
All eyes were on them as she walked into the living room with Cassian. Anne tore her gaze away after slightly bowing to acknowledge their arrival back home, but the older woman didn’t stop gawking. “Good morning, Mr. Vale.” Clara pressed her lips together as though she was trying to suppress a smile. She turned to Marina. “Good morning, Ma’am.” Before Marina could respond, she hurried towards her. “You have a different dress on. Did something happen at the party? Something that required you to change your dress?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper, but loud enough for only Marina to hear her.Cassian caught the words where he stood. He turned his head slightly, jaw tightening as he pinned Clara down with a glare. “I ripped the dress off her body. Do you have a problem with that?”Heat bloomed in Marina’s cheeks. She stood there, stunned into silence, lips parted in shock. Anne’s lips curled as she made her way back into the kitchen, while Clara just lowered her head. Marina
He flattened his wet tongue against her soaked heat. A soft gasp escaped her lips at the electrifying sensation that coursed through her. It was too strong. Gripping. He spread her bud, sucking on her sweet juices. Her hand went over his head, fingers digging deeply into his hair, urging him to carry on and never back out.He pressed in at her command, tugging carefully on her clit, sucking, biting, until she was whacking the bed like a maniac. He lined her walls with his tongue, licking with care and precision, his eyes on her, watching as she wrecked before him.“Oh, please.” She gripped his hair tightly when his tongue stayed on her clit, teasing and biting the soft flesh. She exploded in pure delight, her whole body responding to the thrilling effects his mouth left on her body.When he felt her body shuddering, an indication that she was close to the peak, he replaced his tongue with two fingers, stretching her, taking it out, sucking with his tongue until a shrill cry tore throu
He wanted her too. Had wanted her since he saw her in that dress that evening. He had clandestinely imagined what it would be like to rip it off her body, leaving her curves fully exposed in front of him.In a smooth motion, he hoisted her up. She responded by deepening the kiss, wrapping her legs around him. Her dress added weight to her petite size as he conveyed her to the bed. He lowered her on the bed, moving away from her, noting how her eyes burned raw with need. Desires he could clearly read.“If we’re going to do this again, we will do it right.” He closed the distance between them again. “My way.”She nodded quickly. The heat surging through her was too fierce to suppress.“What’s your way?” Her voice had turned husky. Thick with restrained need.“Stand to your feet.”She obeyed.“Choose between taking the dress off yourself and letting me rip it off your body.” The latter was what he had in mind if she’d let him do it, but he didn’t want to be rough with her.Marina found t
“You might want to stay back in the room,” Doctor Brenda said, letting the stethoscope fall back around her neck. “Your blood pressure spiked from the shock you experienced in the hall. You should stay back and get some rest. It will be regulated soon.”Cassian fumed beside Marina. “Thank you, doctor.” He said tightly. “You may go back now.” After the doctor’s departure from the room, Marina rose to her feet and moved closer to the window. The moon stood full, the stars were aligning overhead. A golden aurora settled over that part of the room, casting a soft glow that caught her eyes.She stood there, watching, blinking back tears as memories of her early days of marriage to Collin surfaced. When they would watch the moon together, her head lulling against his chest.But today, that same man derided her in front of hundreds of people. The same man she gave up everything for.Cassian joined her, his presence silencing her thoughts for a moment before she allowed herself to drown in t
