บททั้งหมดของ One Night Stand With The Unforgettable Stranger: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Cassie woke to her mother gently shaking her. Her eyes were sore and swollen and glued shut by the salt from the tears she cried herself to sleep with and the last thing she wanted was to wake up. “Cassie, honey,” her mother said softly, “you need to get up. There’s a delivery for you.” Cassie sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her head felt foggy and her body felt sluggish. “Okay mum,” she said and yawned. “I’ll be out in a minute.” Her parents lived in a small single-story house in Nambour, a once bustling cane town that had seen a financial downturn in recent years because of the closure of the town’s sugar mill. Both her parents had steady jobs and lived a comfortable life, but Cassie had always yearned for more. Now she wondered if maybe the heartache wasn’t worth it. She pulled on a robe and stumbled out of the room and down the hall to the combined kitchen and dining area. Sitting on the kitchen table was an enormous box sealed with Ashby Chocolates branded tape. Cassie igno

Her mother shrugged. “Their marriage didn’t last. I don’t know where they are now.” She sighed. “The point is, I know it hurts right now, but you will get over it and you will find someone else.” Cassie laid her head on her mother’s shoulder. “Thanks, Mum,” she said. “I just need some time.” “I know, honey,” she said. “Take all the time you need, but you do need to get back up on that horse. Don’t walk away from every other good thing in your life just because you got hurt by one of them.”The next two weeks passed like a movie montage for Cassie. She and her mother gradually ate their way through the chocolate hearts, but it wasn’t the only gift Brian sent her. There were flowers and more chocolates from Jonathon and even some tickets for her to fly anywhere in the world with a friend on any Green Aviation plane. Cassie gave the tickets to her parents and encouraged them to take a trip. They’d never done anything spontaneous or as outlandish as an overseas trip in her whole life

As someone took a seat next to her, she turned to say hello to Jonathan, but her voice became unintelligible. A thrill shot through her when her bright green eyes met hers. Recalling her initial words to him, Cassie blurted up, "You've got a nice beard." He grinned at her, crinkling his eyes at the sides. "Are you curious about what happens when I kiss you?" he enquired. "Oh my god," she whispered, her eyes flickering shut. Opening to him, she felt his lips brush against hers. His tongue caressed her lips, causing her to tremble at the feeling. He grabbed her head, holding her at just the perfect angle to allow him full access, and wove his palm through her hair at the base of her neck. Her mind hazed over as she sank into him. She'd missed his kisses, God. When he pulled away, his own eyes black with need, he peered down at her. "Talk is necessary," he snarled. She said, "I know," and they grudgingly separated. Cassie drank her vodka as Brian got a beer from the bartend

The four men left sitting at the table after Brian and Cassie left clinked glasses and chuckled. “Brian’s the first one to fall,” Barry said. “No, I think that was you,” Jonathon said. Barry looked towards the door through which Cassie and Brian had left. “I never fell like that,” he said wistfully. “Have you heard from her?” Declan asked before taking a sip of his drink. Barry shook his head. “Nope,” he said, “I don’t expect to either.” Barry Benson. From the outside, he looked like a don’t-mess-with-me corporate shark…which was kind of what he was. He traveled the world buying up failing businesses, stripping them down to only the most profitable pieces, and then selling off those pieces at a major profit to him. He had the Midas touch and had been the first of the five to reach his first billion. He was also gorgeous. Tall – really tall – with wide shoulders, a thick chest, and a tight ass. He had the chiseled jaw and commanding features of a superhero and the bright bl

Thankfully the renovations were done and today they would move in. They had been staying in The Mayfair penthouse suite, where they had spent their first night, for the last few weeks as the final renovations were done. He had asked her to move in with him and she had readily agreed. Already his house was beginning to feel like home again and he knew it was only because of her. So today was moving day and he couldn’t wait to get a start on their life together. Cassie shifted in her sleep and the sheet slipped down, exposing a creamy breast. He dipped his head and placed delicate kisses along her throat and across her chest before lavishing the delicious globe. Her hand came up and threaded through his hair, holding him in place and he smiled. This was bliss, waking up next to Cassie, knowing that they would be doing this for the rest of their lives. He couldn’t think of anywhere else he’d rather be. “I like your beard,” she whispered in her sleep-husky voice. He lifted his head
