"Cade's POV"
*flight 303 now landing*
Stated a lady over the PA system, I sighed and continued sipping my scotch at the airport bar. I flagged the barkeep down for another when I felt his presence behind me. "Now how did I know I'd find you here? You couldn't meet me at the gate? How rude little brother." I rolled my eye's at his voice before turning to face him. "Why would I do that when we are going to stop here anyway?" I turned back around and focused on my drink, the bar keep came back with my new scotch. "Oh thanks for ordering me one as well." I scoffed and grabbed the drink. "This is mine your more then welcome to order one of yourself though. We both know I need something strong in my system to deal with you." He went quite I could tell I struck a nerve on that one but I could careless right now. The only reason he's here now is because he knows father is finally signing the company over to one of us. He is here to steal it from me, it maybe easy for him too since father is upset with me. After a few drinks and listening to him boast about his Endeavours I drove us home thinking about Athena the while way and how her shopping was going for the holidays. "Cam I'm dropping you at the house so you can catch up with the parents I've got to go pick up my date." He chuckled and shook his head. "You think I'm leaving your side? My little brother has a woman, he's in a serious relationship and you expect me to sit and listen to mother spoil her image for me? Or father? No I don't think so I'm going." I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes. " Fine, but no funny business"
"Athena's POV."
Cade went to go pick up his brother from the airport,this is one family member I haven't met yet but if he's anything like discribed I probably wont care for him much sounds too much like Mr. Billionaire. Cade is so worried about his brother getting the company, he's been so busy trying to smooth over the tension between him and his father we haven't seen each other all week. Realizing that my tummy turned circles, I hope he likes this dress I know I do but is it good enough for a banquet party? His mother felt as though she needed a whole party when to sign over the company. Come to think of it haven't seen anyone all week, we closed the shop down for the next two weeks. Nolan went to see his family, and I've been sitting on my couch eating chocolate and watching tv when I'm not shopping for the holidays. I'm surprised I even fit in my dress still. I took one last look in the mirror, the Royal blue chiffon was floor length and had a sweetheart neckline. The dress was strapless and had white diamonds along the neckline, the dress was just the right length for me and had a slit that stopped right at the knee enough to show some leg but not too high to show anything else. The blue against my sun kissed skin was beautiful, the diamond necklace and bracelet tied it all together. I went down stairs and found cade waiting. I smiled when his eyes met mine, a red tint covered both our faces. "Absolutely beautiful darling." He said and kissed my cheek, after he kinda stood there for a minute I asked "are we ready to go?" He grunted and looked around. "Cam is here I told him I was going to drop him at the parents and he insisted in coming with me" I nodded and looked around "I just wanted to warn you that he's with me he's in the car and if he makes you uncomfortable in any way let me know" I nod.
"Cam's POV"
I sat in the passenger seat of the car waiting on Cade and his new chick. I was told I had to stay here and wait, finally I heard them all I could see was their torsos. She laughed at something he said and next thing I know is my door is being opened. "Get in the back cam, my love doesn't get put in the background." I grunted and started to get out. "This better be one spec-" I cut myself off when I meet bright emerald green eyes, and blood red hair that was pinned up in curls. Her hair and eyes paired up with the blue dress she had on was a magnificent sight. I scooted to the side to let her through and smiled, she smiled back and got in my brother shutting the door after her. I was lost in a trance as we drove, they were talking back and forth between each other. I just laid my head back enjoying the Velvet sound of her voice. He better hope he can hold onto her she's one hell of a woman and I want her.
"Athena's POV"
It's safe to say my outfit tonight was a hit, everyone loved it even Cade's father. Cade had to go meet and greet with his brother can and their father, his mother was yelling at a server for dropping crab puffs in the floor. So I've been wandering around I haven't seen the whole house yet even though I'm here once a week almost, it still takes my breath away. So far I've counted 8 bedrooms 3 of which are master's with a walk in closet and huge bathroom's. The house had three full baths separate from the masters and two half baths down stairs, each room and baths had a different theme to it either rustic, chic, modern, or vintage. I had found two studies with a very modern theme they each had a couch two chairs on the outside of the very long desk and file cabinets. Everything you need to do accounts and finances. On the 3rd floor I found the library the one place that Cade talks about a lot, it was his favorite place to be when he was younger and I can see why. Big windows that look out over the garden, a huge balcony, a few reading nooks, tables and chairs, hardwood floors, and of course the wall to wall bookcases crammed full of books. I was scanning the shelves when my hairs on my arms began to stand on end. Flashes of the library light up my eye's and a scene of me and what looked like Cade unfolded, it didnt show his face but I felt hot and flustered as the figure leaned over me. His hands on either side of my head and leaned down. Soon the images disappear and I collect my thoughts, tattoos he didn't have sleeves that wasn't cade. I look around and try to rush out and get back to the party, but I was too late. "Didn't expect to see you here Athena, are you as surprised as I am?" His voice almost sounded threatening like he had dangerous thoughts. I shook my head no "I knew you were coming I saw it, I was actually just leaving to join cade." I said trying to sneak past his large figure that was blocking the door. He chuckled and I swear I heard something like a low growl come from his throat. He quickly backed me into the wall and bent his head down and looked me in the eyes I knew he looked just like Cade but I didn't realize they were identical. Same hair, same eye's, same nose, he just didn't have the tattoos or as muscular. Cam had his dad's jawline while Cade had his mother's they even smelled the same. I looked can dead in his eye's "id get away from me if you know what's good for you" I said I heard the low growl again he leaned his head farther down my neck and inhaled. I felt myself get flustered and frozen in place as his hands grabbed my waist. "I want you so bad but till my little brother makes a mistake, I'll play nice" he whispers in my ear, next thing I know he's gone without a trace like he was never here. The warmth I felt from him vanished like it was a dream. I took a few moments to myself to calm down and left to rejoin the party and Cade.
