Soul Tied to the Incubus King [Book I]

It's You

--CASSIDY POV--

Miccoli grabs my hands.

"No"

"What do you mean no?"

"Exactly what I said Little One..no."

He looked me straight in the eyes. "I don't see the big deal. You're a figment of my imagination, a dream. People dream of others all the time. It's not like it means anything" A glimpse of what looked to be sadness flicked in his white eyes confusing me even further. He backs away from me and turns away. "I'm not interested in being inside you Little One." He responds coldly. I stand up straightening my robe. Wow. Even in my dreams, I'm still a doormat. I start to pinch myself. Nothing's happening. He turns back around. "What are you doing?" He asks. " I want to wake up. I don't want to be here with you anymore." He sighs lifting his hand as if he is about to touch my face but then stops himself. "As you wish," he says before backing away into the shadows.

Great Cassidy. Just great

I think to myself

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You look great! You ready to go?" Beth sits on my desk sipping her coffee. "As ready as I ever will be," I respond gathering my notes for the presentation.

"Don't you find it strange though that we have no idea what he looks liked?"

"Nah, people with his kind of money rarely show their face. Something about protecting their assets." Beth counters, "I wish I had that kind of money where I needed to protect my assets." I laugh at her statement. "Wife of the CMO...I think you're doing pretty well." Beth stands and walks toward the window. "Yeah...my life is so..perfect." Her statement oozes sarcasm, and it's clear that it's much more to it. "Beth, you know if you ever need to talk, I'm here." "Right back at cha girlie." She says giving me a weak smile. "Now enough of that...let's get going."

Beth and I walk to the end of the hall to the board room which was already set up for the meeting. I found myself pacing back and forth near the window.

Calm down Cassidy, you got this

I coax myself. I worked hard on this presentation and by the time I was finished, I would have that VP position in the bag. "Ladies I would like you to meet Mr. Vincetti." I hear Daniel say as he walks into the room. "Mr. Vincetti this is my wife and our lead Graphic Designer Beth Andrews, and this is our Global Marketing Manager Cassidy Knight." "Hello Mrs. Andrews, a pleasure to make your acquaintance Mrs. Knight." Electricity shoots through me, and the hair stands up the back of my neck. I'd know that voice anywhere. It's deep, raspy tone sent vibrations straight between my legs.

No, It couldn't be, that doesn't make any sense.

I say to myself. "Cassidy, will you stop being rude and face our guest." Daniel sarcastically aims at me, and I can't help but roll my eyes. I take a deep breath and turn around to face the owner of the voice. My voice gets caught in my throat. This man is beyond sexy, He stood at least 6'5, completely towering over Daniel. His charcoal gray suit was tailored perfectly, showing his muscular frame. I studied him starting from the bottom until I got to his face. His olive skin held no blemish, aside from a 5 o'clock shadow that made his clean-cut look a bit more rugged. His black hair which was neatly combed back allowed only a small few strands to sit on his forehead in a small curl. His eyes, so light blue they were almost white pierced into me in both amusement and...something...something sinful. He held a smirk on his lips and it wasn't until that very moment that I realized I had been staring. "My apologies Mr. Vincetti, it's a pleasure to meet you." I say shifting my weight from one foot to the other. He put his hands in his pockets and smiles showing perfect white teeth. "Please" he begins. "Call me Miccoli."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm very impressed with these numbers, seems like your company will make me a lot of money." Beth and Daniel laugh at Miccoli's statement while I sit there silently.

Cassidy stop it! Just because they happen to have the same name means nothing. This guy is human for Christ's sake! No tail, no fangs, no horns...nothing out of the ordinary. Get your head in the game and stop letting some random guy take you off your focus.

Daniel continues to rattle off the final information to Miccoli, but it was clear he could care less what he was saying. His eyes were completely locked on me. "Cassidy...I've loved your presentation thus far. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on how we can push our social media campaign on all platforms to alert people of the products without overdoing it or overwhelming them?" His eyes danced as they watched me waiting for a response. He was enjoying himself...but why? "Well, Miccoli." I start and when I say his name, I swear his eyes flash completely white.

I must be imagining things

"The first thing we would do is run the analytics for your platforms. That would allow us to effectively create a posting schedule. This schedule is for ads that are thoughtful and posted at peak times-those are the times in which your platforms have the most traffic. That way you're not only optimizing your platforms, but you will have a higher chance of reaching your current and potential followers." Miccoli smiles at me and I feel my heart skip a beat. "Excellent...well Mr.Andrews, it looks like you have a new client." Daniel and Beth both begin clapping and stand up. "I'm so pleased to hear that Mr.Vincetti, how about we discuss the final details in my office. Both men leave the board room and Beth immediately turns to me. "Girrlllllll CONGRATS!" She yells running over to hug me. "I knew you were gonna rock it!" "Thanks, Beth, I was a little nervous back there," I admitted. "Didn't hurt that Mr.Vincetii was so damn attractive."He's alright." I respond turning to avoid showing her the blush creeping up on my face. Beth doesn't respond, but I can feel her looking me up and down. "Alright! He's really attractive." I say turning to face her. Beth laughs. "Just because we're married doesn't mean we don't have eyes, Cassidy."Our conversation is interrupted by my secretary. "Mr. Knight, I'm sorry to bother you, but your sister-in-law is here, for the keys?" "Yes send her in thanks." A few moments later Andrea walks into the board room. "Sorry to bother you, sis, Mark asked me to come to get the key to the guest house." "Of course, no worries at all." "Oh gosh, I'm so rude. Beth this is Andrea, Andrea this is Beth." "Hi, Beth nice to meet you," Andrea says extending her hand. Beth hesitates, her face slowly turning red. She continues to stare at Andrea, and Andrea lightly chuckles in response. "I-I hello."Beth finally stammers out, shaking Andrea's hand a little too long.

Beth looks like a schoolgirl with a crush

I muse to myself. "Thanks. Addeline and I are going for ice cream and maybe a movie so don't wait up." I roll my eyes at her. "You spoil her so much." "It's an aunt's job." she retorts leaving the board room. I turn and face Beth. "Anything you wanna tell me?" "Oh shut up." She says lightly tapping me on my arm before leaving.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knock Knock Knock a soft rap on my office door jolts me from my work. "Come in" I shout out, not looking up from the computer. The door opens and closes, and I immediately feel electricity shoot through me. "Is this a bad time?" a raspy voice says to me. I look up and see Miccoli stands across from my desk. His hands remain in his pocket the entire time, and I swear he looks like a walking statue, he's "perfect." I mutter. "You know, I could always come back later." "Oh, no...I'm sorry. Please have a seat." I say to him, motioning towards the chair across from me. Miccoli walks slowly never breaking eye contact with me and sits. "Mr. Andrews thought it might be a good idea for you and me to have dinner together tomorrow evening to discuss the plan of attack." I raise my eyebrow, and he laughs. "Hey, it was his idea, not mine." I slowly take off my glasses. Could I really sit across from this man at dinner? It's been less than 10 minutes here and my body feels like it's about to explode. "That sounds fine," I finally say a little more flatly than intended. I really need to get over this stupid obsession. THIS MICCOLI AND YOUR DREAM MICCOLI ARE NOT THE SAME! I want to scream internally to myself. "Great!" Miccoli says standing up from the chair. He stands with his arms folded staring at me, and I feel a rush of excitement. "Is there anything else I can help you with Mr.Vincetti?" I ask hoping to break the tension. He pauses for a moment.

"You know, it was extremely sexy watching you handle yourself today Little One."

 I feel my heart stop as I process his words. Little One. He called me Little One. There was only one other person who called me that. I watch as his eyes flash white again.

"What did y-"

"You heard me."

He cuts me off standing perfectly still. " It's you." I say in disbelief. A devilish smile stretches across his face. "It's me." "No..no that can't be."I jump up from my desk and start to walk towards the door. Miccoli grabs my arm spinning me around to face him. "Little One." He says in a low growl. "You know it's true." "Bu-But you're not real. Those are dreams."I say in a low whisper. Miccoli's eyes flash red. "Oh really?" He glides across the floor taking me with him and then slams me against the bookcase. His breath is hot on my earlobe and he says in a low voice. "If I'm not real then tell me something." He moves his hands to my breast. "How am I touching you?"He squeezes lightly causing me to let out a small moan. DAMN MY BODY FOR BETRAYING ME! I feel his lips curl into a smile. "I can smell how wet you are Little One." He flicks my ear with his fangs and moves his hand further down my dress until it's sitting right at my thigh. "La-last night." I stumble out.

"Last night, you summoned me."

"No, I didn't."

He laughs lightly sending chills down to my s*x. "So you weren't thinking about me while you were-." He runs his fingers across my panties landing right outside of my p***y. My mouth is dry. I know I should push him off, but I feel like I'm in a trance. "So..so you were really there?"

Dumb question Cassidy

"I was as real last night." He says placing his fingers insides of my underwear, using them to spread my lips until my c******s is exposed. "As I am right now." Miccoli begins to massage my c******s and licks my neck. My body betrays me again, and I begin to grind against his finger. I feel him smiling, as he lifts his head up to look me in the eyes. His eyes are fully white now. There's no denying it. My nighttime lover was here in the real world. He begins to quicken the pace against my c******s causing me to shake. "You interest me Cassidy. I don't know what it is, but you do. " My head is spinning, and my legs begin to shake. I'm on a verge of an orgasm. "I want you to want me...as much as I want you." Miccoli takes his finger and enters me while kissing me. He bites my bottom lip and I can no longer hold back and explode all over his fingers. I stare breathlessly at him as his eyes turn back to pale blue. He backs away from me and I fix my dress. "See you at dinner, Mrs. Knight." Miccoli says before putting his finger in his mouth and walking out the door.
