Lasting Attraction (Cassie Series) (2 page)

             
"Oh? And who might that be?"

             
"His name is Kal. Kal Braxton. I owe him a big favor and I need you to accept him as your secretary."

             
I raise my brow at that. "Why do you owe him? And will he be suitable for the position or is this strictly because you owe him?"

             
"He'll be perfect. Listen, when I rebelled against dad and started working over at Bronson Dynamics, Kal was my secretary. He was great at what he did; fast learner, respectable, great ethics. One day I invited him out to poker night and he, well, he hit on me. I punched him in the face and broke his nose. I didn't know he was gay, it caught me off guard. I didn't punch him for being homosexual, but because he hit on me. Well, actually, because of
how
he hit on me. It didn't really matter though, I could have gotten the company in a lot of trouble for the situation. He saved my ass and allowed me so I could keep the job."

             
"Okay, did he threaten you or anything?"

             
"What? No, no, not at all." He shakes his head and sits up straighter. "No, he is a good man. He ended up leaving the company, saying he found a better position. This was all about six months ago. I just found out he never found another position, he just couldn't handle working for me or some shit. I don't know. Anyways, he hasn't had a job in all this time and needs one desperately. I already discussed payroll with him but you make the final decision."

             
Evan hands me a folder and I open it up to see Kal's resume, the things he and Evan have already discussed, and a list of references. Evan came to company last month and is going to start working below me until he can prove himself to work alongside me, then together we'll both take over the company by next year. I practically run it myself now, I just don't have the title or pay yet.

             
"Okay, when can he start?"

             
"When is Marie done?"

             
"Well, she wanted to be done this Friday but I asked her to stay until the following. She'll need to train him, so if he wants the job, he needs to come in soon to fill out the official forms and start training, probably Monday."

             
"I could get him in here to sign the forms in an hour or two."

             
I nod my head. "Sounds good."

             
He rubs the back of his neck and leans forward, resting his other elbow on his leg while he seems to be rubbing a kink out of his neck. Apparently he has been stressed about things in his life as well. "How are the kids?" I ask, hoping to get some insight.

             
He peeks up at me and lifts his mouth into a fake smile. "Kids are great, as usual. But you already know that, since you saw them just last night."

             
"Yeah, about that..." I meant to tell him he was kind of a dick to Cassie. I understand his viewpoint, protecting his little brother and all that, but still, she is my girlfriend. I love her. He needs to respect that. "You were a dick."

             
He huffs out a small laugh. "Yeah, I was, wasn't I? Listen, good for you, I'm happy you’re happy and all that shit. I just don't trust the bitch. She is hiding something, I can tell. Call it intuition, I just don't trust her."

             
"Well for good reason, but she is still my girlfriend, and you're my brother. When Alyssa cheated on you in college I never fucking said shit. You cried like a bitch for a week then you were accepting her apologizes like nothing ever happened. I respected you, you can respect me."

             
After he stands up, he back hands me in my arm, not that it actually hurt. "Fuck off." He grins and walks towards the door, so I know he didn't take it too personally. When he gets to the door he looks back over to me. "You know, I don't think mom showered us with enough affection growing up, because we both could find better." He leaves without another word, leaving me here to think about what he just said.

             
I'm sure I could find better, but most of us could. It isn't about being with someone that is perfect, its about finding the perfection inside someone who is anything but. Its about loving someone, flaws and all. Its about accepting differences and mistakes, about forgiving and forgetting. Its about love. I love Cassie and I accept everything she is- the good and the bad. Her imperfections are what made me lust after her in the first place.

             
I'm not giving up on her, nor do I ever want to.

             
Once I get back to my apartment, I send Cassie out a quick text telling her to be ready for me in an hour. I'll take all my frustrations out on that sweet pussy of hers. She doesn't respond, so I assume she is sleeping or simply doesn't hear her phone, so I get into the shower. Once I'm in there, I just let the water pour over me like rain, washing away my annoyance between work and my brother's words today. Fuck him if he doesn't like her, because I fucking love her.

             
I hear the squeak of the door opening and peak out over the curtain. Cassie is tiptoeing into the bathroom in nothing but her birthday suit, and damn if it doesn't look nice. She looks like she may have lost weight, and I'd be more concerned if not for the fact she is currently naked and strutting towards me like she is ready for me. I'm already hard by the time she squeezes into the shower with me.

             
"I texted you and said I was coming over in an hour." I grab her cheeks between my hands and lay my lips upon hers, which is hungrily furthers for a moment before I pull away and look deep into her eyes.

             
She bites down on her lip in a nervous habit while her eyes sear into my own. God she is beautiful. I don't think I'll ever be able to get enough of her. "I know, I was already on my way over though, so I ignored it and wanted to surprise you."

             
"Best fucking surprise ever." I push back on her so she is flat against the bathroom wall and my lips lay claim to hers once more. Her hand moves down to the base of my dick, then she starts to glide it back and forth. The warmth of the water and the grip of her hand has me pre-ejaculating already.
Fuck,
I may not last very long. My hand reaches down between her legs but she pushes it away with her free hand.

             
I back away and give her a questioning look but she just grins wickedly. "Let me please you, Pierce." My smile grows and I nod my head, turning my body so I can lean against the side of the shower wall. She gets onto her knees, and I watch as the stream of water runs over her breasts and down her naked body. She licks underneath my length from the base to the head before putting it completely into her mouth. I can feel as the head of my dick glides into her throat, and I can even feel her throat tighten around my dick as she slightly chokes.

             
I close my eyes and rest my head back and allow her to continue sucking my dick, using her hand near the base to keep a smooth and steady rhythm. I love the popping sound it makes when she pulls her mouth away and as I'm about to look down again, she devours my dick with her mouth once more. I'm not going to last long, especially once her hand slides down and holds my balls, massaging them in her hold.

             
"Fuck, Cassie, I'm going to come."

             
She doesn't slow down, she just continues the motions and I have to grab the back of head. I grip into her hair and take control, unable to stop myself. I start fucking her mouth with my cock, maybe harder than I ever have, and her hands glide around to my back side to keep herself in place, holding onto the back of my thighs.

             
It doesn't take long for me to start feeling that insane tingle inside my balls and throughout my body before I ejaculate inside her mouth, which easily glides down the back of her throat. I grip her hair a little harder before completely letting go and falling back against the wall once more.

             
She licks me clean, not that she has to, and stands up. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her into me more. "Cassie, that was..." I come up empty. Its pointless to describe how incredible that was.

             
After a small kiss to my chest, she rests her head against, and the water rushes down on the both of us. I kiss the top of her head and turn her around quickly in my hands. "What are you doing?" She asks curiously.

             
I reach up and grab the showerhead, bringing it down to run over her body. She lays the back of her head on my shoulder, letting me massage her with the flow of water. I use my free hand to go between her legs, which she immediately opens for me, then I move the shower head to meet my fingers down there.

             
"Oh," she breathes when the hot water touches her sensitive area. Between the pressure of my fingers and the hot water beating against her clit, it doesn't take long for her to start shaking in my hold. "God, Pierce, I'm going to come so fast."

             
My dick immediately hardens against her tight ass and I get an idea for when we get out of the shower. I add more pressure to her sensitive area and I'm nearly coming again already, just at the thought of putting my dick in her ass once and for all. Her shaking increases and her panting become louder before she finally starts to scream out in pleasure, repeating my name over and over.

             
I drop the shower head and turn her around to face me. Her eyes widen in surprise and I pull on her hips until she jumps up and wraps her legs around me. "I'm putting my dick in your ass," I tell her.

             
She starts to laugh before she realizes how serious I am then she completely deadpans. "No you're not."

             
"Cassie, come on baby. God, I can only imagine how tight you'd feel around me." One hand snakes down and my fingers runs along the crack of her ass.

             
She pushes on my shoulders and to avoid her from falling down, I let my grip go so she can stand up again. She steps out of the shower, grabs a towel, and walks out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She doesn't even give me a moment to respond. I can't tell if she is actually mad or playing a game with me. I like when she plays games with me, it fucking turns me on so much. I can't explain it.

             
But I never intended to actually make her mad.

             
Girls- god they're so confusing!

             
I know I need to wash up real quick, so I use shampoo to wash myself head to toe, and after I place the showerhead back where it belongs, I rinse off and get out of the shower. When I walk out of the bathroom I go straight into my room. I see her pile of clothes next to the bathroom door, so I know she is still naked and waiting for me.

             
When I walk into my bedroom, Cassie is laying on my bed, legs spread wide and she is grinning. Her fingers move down to touch herself and I can't seem to move. I'm stuck right here, watching her.

             
"You're not getting my ass, I'm sorry to say Pierce, but I'm going to give you quite a show. I suggest you sit down and enjoy yourself." I don't question anything as I take my desk chair and place it directly in front her and watch the special treat she has decided to give me.

             
Blood, sweat, tears. Fighting brings all those things out in me. I'm not talking about the physical type of fighting though. No, I'm talking about for my heart. For my angel. She is mine, she'll forever be mine. I haven't been fighting hard, thinking that all along she'd choose me in the end. Now I'm not so sure. So I'm fighting, and I'll continue to fight, I'll do whatever it takes to get her back in my arms. Back in my future. Back to being made just for me.

             
The plane arrives just after ten and I know its too late at night to stop into her place. I never got a key off from her and technically I'm not supposed to be arriving until tomorrow. Instead I make my way over to Mason's in a taxi. He meets me outside, because apparently Aubrey is ready to cave my face in, so she claimed the last few months. I know I fucked up, but I haven't had the time to explain myself. I'm not going to either, not until I get an hour or two alone with Cassie.
