His lips felt soft and warm, and his touch alone sent instant shockwaves through her body. His kiss was tender and passionate at the same time and awakened a sensation in Cassandra that she hadn't felt in quite a while.The intensity was something that she had honestly never experienced before. Jason moved his attentions to Cassandra's neck, and he left a delicate trail of kisses down to her sun-kissed shoulder.Cassandra feverishly raked her fingers through Jason's wind tousled hair and pulled him in closer. She could feel Jason's breath coming faster as she gently nipped at his earlobe.As Cassandra moved toward Jason and positioned herself onto his lap to straddle him, she could feel him hard underneath of her.Jason's hands slid down her back and crept up under the back of her skirt, and he pulled her hard into him. Cassandra let out a gasp of pleasure as her animal instincts drove her to move slowly up and down against him.She was so lost in the moment that she was losing all se

Returning to the hotel, Cassandra had a little extra time to indulge in a relaxing bubble bath before it was time to get ready.All thoughts of Johnathan and his infidelity had vanished from Cassandra's mind, and all she could think about was Jason. She planned on arriving at the show a little early before the band took the stage in hopes of spending a little time with Jason before he went on.Cassandra tried calling Eloise again before getting dressed in hopes of taking a few minutes to bring her friend up to speed, but like the last time, she got her voice mail.Not hearing from Eloise left a pit of worry in her stomach. Why was she not answering or responding?She would try her again before she left the hotel.Cassandra curled her hair into small, smooth spirals and threw on her outfit. She touched up her make-up, giving it a little more dramatic look for the show. Cassandra was ready to head out to the venue to see Jason. Even though it had only been several hours, she had missed

Pulling up in her driveway, Cassandra met Eloise at her door. Eloise looked horrible; she had dark circles under puffy, bloodshot eyes, and she was white as a ghost. Cassandra knew something must be wrong seeing her usually upbeat friend in this condition.Eloise sulked into the house and immediately threw her arms around Cassandra's neck, and burst into tears, sobbing into her shoulder."Ellie, everything's going to be okay. Just tell me what happened."Cassandra led her into the living room, where they both settled down on the two-seater couch. It took a few minutes for Eloise to catch her breath, and quiet herself down just enough to get a few words out."Nic- Nicholas, lef..lef..left me." she stuttered through her sobs."Wait, what?""My husband walked away, Cassie!""Oh my gosh, Ellie! Why? When? What happened?"Cassandra was stunned by the words she was hearing. Despite their issues, Eloise and Nicholas were always so solid."He, he left me be-because I, I wouldn't give him a ch

"Wait, what are you even doing here? Don't you have a show to do tonight?" Cassandra's voice was hoarse and shaky, and she could feel her balled-up fists growing clammy. Her nerves were getting the best of her right now, and she had to try and remain calm; no tears! Jason was standing so close to Cassandra that she caught a whiff of the clean-smelling cologne that he always wore, and it sent her emotions into overdrive. She could feel the raw attraction between them that was always there since day one. She couldn't deny that physical connection, and it took all the willpower she could muster not to throw her arms around him and tell her how sorry she was for leaving. "I came here to see you, Cassandra! To find out why you left me last night with no word, no note, no nothing! "You wouldn't even return my calls or texts. Then next thing you know, I pull up and find your so-called ex at your house yet again, kissing you! What exactly is going on, Cassandra?" Jason's words were hurtful, a

They arrived at the airport where Jason's private jet was fueled up, waiting for them to board. The crew was friendly and polite and treated her with just as much respect as they did their famous boss. The flight was only about an hour-long, and when they landed at the airport, Charles was there in the shiny black SUV, waiting to take them to the venue. They pulled up to the concert hall, and Cassandra noticed the same familiar hordes of fans lined up outside the entrance doors waiting to get inside to see the show. She sat there and remembered just a few nights ago being simply a random face among that same type of crowd. Charles pulled up to a back entrance eerily similar to the venue Cassandra was at, just the night before when everything went awry. Jason helped Cassandra out of the truck and led her through a heavy steel door inside the building. They walked through the hustle and bustle of the many crew members that were getting everything ready for the show. Jason had missed sou
