Cassian And Nesta Novels & Stories

Cassian’s tone sharpened. “Get Naomi back to base. Now.” I opened my mouth to argue, but the connection cut again. Mara adjusted the rearview mirror, meeting my eyes. “You heard him.” I stared out the window. The city raced past in blurs of light and smoke, police drones rising like silent vultures. Somewhere back there, Cassian was standing in the wreckage of his own trap, already turning it into the next war map. I didn’t know whether to hate him for that or love him for it.

“He’s wrong, you know.” She narrowed her eyes. “What?” “I’ve never met a sexier woman, mon ange. You’re perfect.” He whispered, his voice was over her, so that it felt like she was being dipped under a waterfall. “Dorain might hear you, Kael.” Cassia said, taking a step back. Kael took a step forward, closing the distance she put between them. “Then stop looking at me like you did in that cathedral and on the balcony.” “That was in Miami and I…”

Then Selene sheathed her sword with a sharp click. "I hate all of you." "...We've only known each other for six hours," Maeve responded, blinking. "Exactly," Cassian answered, rubbing the back of his neck. "I don't think that's how friendships usually begin," Maeve said. "It is here," Cassian responded. I couldn't help but laugh. The sun was already sinking, and orange light slipped between the trees before disappearing beneath the thick canopy. Cassian looked upward. "We should stop," he said. "We just escaped." Selene frowned. "And I'd like to keep it that way." She folded her arms.

Neither of them had touched their food much which said enough already. Cassian leaned back in his chair slightly, his dark coat folded neatly beside him. His eyes remained fixed on the city ahead for a long moment before he finally spoke. “You know,” he said calmly, “we’ve both become terrible at this.” Scarlett glanced up. “At what?” “Our little revenge strategy.” A faint laugh escaped her. “That’s dramatic.” “It’s accurate.” She studied him carefully now,there was no mockery in his tone. No criticism. It was just an observation which somehow made it feel more personal.

Aria, I need to talk to you," in a hoarse, low voice. Aria stepped back, her gaze narrowing. Her voice was forceful as she inquired, "What is it, Cassian?" A wave of emotion washed over Cassian as his gaze met hers. His voice almost rose above a whisper. "I need to talk to you about my feelings," he added. Aria experienced a wave of astonishment as her eyes became wide. With a trembling voice, she said, "What about your feelings?" Cassian stepped closer, his gaze narrowing. He continued, "I have feelings for you, Aria," in a hoarse, low voice. "And I think you have feelings for me too."

Aliyah agreed, her attention shifting back to the screen. "Let’s just forget about it," Quinn added quietly. Cassia inhaled softly as she glanced toward her packed luggage near the door, her mind already set. But no matter how hard she tried to push the encounter aside, Kelvin’s words echoed in her mind, leaving her with a question she couldn’t answer. ******** The next morning, Cassia and her friends arrived at Master Elara Voss’s estate. Martinez and Liam had decided to stay back, allowing the women some privacy.

She stood at the counter, her hands still shaking slightly as she poured three cups into the ceramic mugs. "It's over, isn’t it?” Cassia asked, sinking into one of the wooden chairs at the table and wrapping her hands around the warm mug. She looked between Lucian and her mother, her eyes wide with hope and exhaustion. “It's over now? No more running, no more looking over our shoulders?”

I groaned in frustration and Cassian looked perplexed. “I haven’t instructed anyone out of the warrior force before. Please forgive me, madam.” He bowed his head, and I closed my eyes. “Call me Nesta, please,” I said and he nodded his head. “I will try to use simple language. Now please draw the string back. Pull the string back smoothly and steadily, keeping your elbow high and in line with the arrow.” I pulled the arrow back following his instruction and he waited for me to position the arrow appropriately.

Kael quickly gathered Koda and Nola and left to return to their land. As soon as I stepped inside, I saw Phin and Cassy sitting on the couch together, their heads bent over a stack of old files. It was nothing sexual, but the way their legs were touching made me so irritated instantly. I walked over and sat on the table right across from them, beside the pile of papers they were going through. I reached for one of the files and flipped it open. I tried to ignore how they didn't even seem to care that they were touching right in front of me.

Cassie said, grabbing a Glock-19 from the gun board and tucking it in her thigh pocket. Tobias was waiting for her downstairs, impatient for her to finish. He rushed to her bedroom, quietly pushing the door open. The fresh scent of roses enveloped him, making his heart flutter. He couldn’t believe she was living under the same roof as him but still felt a longing for more. “Aren’t you looking a little too pretty for a mission?” he asked, causing her to jolt from her thoughts. “What’s wrong with you?” she snapped, turning to glare at him. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she was aware of everything around her except him.
