Missing

Chapter 14

Twenty f*****g minutes? That didn’t give me a lot of time to get ready. Sprinting into the bathroom I did my makeup in light tones and put on some light pink lip gloss. I could not believe that Cassian wanted to see me again. I was really trying to stay away from him because I did not want to get hurt. It was nice to feel wanted though. I had to admit that it was nice being admired and having someone compliment me again. I slipped on a black strapless dress that hugged my body and showed my legs and cleavage off. It was classy but very sexy. I paired the dress with some cute black heels. I was actually excited which was really dangerous for me. Was I truly ready to move on? I didn’t really know. I poured myself a glass of wine in the kitchen waiting for the time to pass. On my second glass, I heard a light knock at the door.

I opened the door to see a very dashing Cassian holding a bouquet of peach roses. There was no way that he could have known they were my favorite. Only Fawn knew what my favorite flower was. No one ever took the time to remember those sorts of things nowadays.

“Did you know these are my favorite flowers?” I mused grabbing them and taking a big whiff of the beautiful smell coming off of the gorgeous flowers. I smiled at him. I was happy for the first time in so long.

“You may have mentioned it to Juliana when we were all hanging out a couple of nights ago.” Cassian ran his hand through his hair seeming nervous.

“Wow. I am, impressed.” I blushed. I didn’t want to give away exactly how impressed I really was with him. Honestly, I would have f****d him right on the couch instead of going to dinner, but I was excited to see what we were going to do tonight. I wanted to get to know Cassian more. There were so many things I did not know about him. I liked that he was kind of a mysterious businessman.

“Would you like to get going? I don’t mind if you need a minute or anything.” He responded.

“Let me put these in some water and we can go,” I said, taking the flowers and heading for the kitchen. After looking for a minute I finally found a vase and filled it up with water. I locked the door before leaving and getting into Cassian’s car.

“Where are we going?” I asked suddenly, curious.

“It is a surprise.” He moved his hand up to my face and stroked my cheek with his thumb.

Time froze for a minute while we were staring into each other's eyes.

I only nodded in response feeling breathless. After what seemed like a long ride in the car, we pulled up to a very fancy-looking house on the beachfront. “Where are we?” I asked confused as the car pulled to a stop.

“One of the properties I own.” He answered very matter-of-factly. I gazed into his beautiful eyes and found myself not saying anything but just staring at the man once again. He noticed and I blushed and looked away.

“Okay, well what are we doing here?” Again, I asked to try to get more clarification.

“I have a personal chef that will make us dinner and then I thought maybe we could have some drinks and take a walk on the beach.” Cassian smiled mesmerizing me into speechlessness again. Cassian came to my side of the car and opened the door for me. I blushed and murmured a shy thank you. I could hear the waves lapping on the shore at a beach near us in a peaceful tone making me smile.

Cassian took my hand gently and pulled me toward the house. It was huge and modern with many windows and a very impersonal demeanor. I liked it a lot because luxury was appealing but it felt weird and empty. I knew this house had to have like six bedrooms at least.

“What do you do with all this space? Don’t you get lonely?” Genuinely I asked him looking up into his eyes. They looked far away for a second. He was hesitating in thought.

“Um. Yes. You know it does sometimes, but I have enough work to keep me busy and out of the house. I try not to dwell on such depressing thoughts but rather work toward building a better future for humanity. That is what my company focuses on mainly. We try to make a better life for everyone with the products that we make.” Cassian looked so passionate about his job.

“That is a really amazing thought process you have. Not a lot of companies are looking out for people anymore but trying to make a profit off them instead.” I responded very impressed by him so far.

“Come with me and we can have some drinks before the chef has our meal ready.” He looked at me with a wicked grin and I laughed as he pulled me into the living area. There were snow-white couches and a full bar that sat against the wall.

Cassian busied himself at the bar making us drinks. Halfway through he took his suit jacket off and placed it on the bar stool. He was so f*****g sexy I don’t know how I was going to go all night without ripping his clothes off and letting him f**k the s**t out of me again. I did not want to just have s*x, but I was so enthralled and turned on by everything he did. The way he speaks carries himself and treats me. Not to mention his alluring scent. He has me literally soaked every time that we are together.

He came over and handed me a martini. Ew. I hated olives but whatever I was feeling fancy tonight. I drank a few sips to be polite and smiled.

“You look so beautiful tonight, Maisy.” He sat next to me scooting closer until I could smell his fresh cologne from where I was. Man, he was so hot and even smelled like he made money.

“Thank you, Cassian. You look really nice too.” I blushed having to stop myself from saying too much. My eyes lingered on his body, and I was almost drooling thinking about what I would do to him. s**t. I had to keep myself under control. He definitely noticed me staring at him and lifted my chin with his finger. Cassian brushed his lips against mine. I couldn’t help but moan as he slid his other hand up my thigh close to the hem of my dress.

“Maisy, you have no idea what you do to me. Ever since I met you, I can’t stop thinking about you. Normally after I hook up with someone that feeling goes away but I cannot get you out of my mind.” Cassian almost looked like he was in pain when confessing this to me.

I paused almost frozen not knowing what to say. Then I pulled him closer and kissed his lips hungrily. He guided me onto his lap, and he kissed my neck. I moaned wanting him and his body again. Unfortunately, we were hastily interrupted by the chef coming to reminding us the first course would be served shortly. I got off his lap and finished my drink asking for another.

Cassian made us more drinks and we drank them silently.

“How was the job interview today?” He cut the silence.

“It was good. More or less I just went in and accepted. I already went through the interview process in Chicago over Zoom and phone.” I explained to him while taking sips of the new drink he made me.

“That is so great. Does that mean you are officially staying here then?” He asked looking into what felt like my soul.

“Yes. I think so.” I didn’t realize I was holding my breath, and it came out shaky.

The chef came in and asked that we take our seats in the dining room. I followed him and sat down across from Cassian in a huge dining room that should seat at least eight. The chef served a raspberry vinaigrette and tomato salad with almonds. It was so good, and I didn’t realize how hungry I was. After lobster and dessert, I was so full I couldn’t even think about eating without feeling sick. Cassian made us more drinks and invited me for a late-night walk on the beach. I took off my shoes and grabbed my drink. We were laughing and joking about nothing while we were walking. The beach was so peaceful, and the sounds were like music to my ears. I always have loved the beach.

We got to a very open area and Cassian laid out a blanket so we could watch the stars together comfortably. I laid down on the blanket and cuddled closer to Cassian taking in his delicious smell once again. He nuzzled his face into my hair. My body tingled going down to my aching p***y. I was starting to get wet.

With the help of the alcohol, I asked Cassian the question I had been wanting to know since he showed interest in me. “Why me? Why do you like me?” I was confused and nervous about the answer.

“I find you so enthralling like a beautiful mystery. It’s even more than that too. There is this weird pull to you that I can’t explain.” Cassian said to me while running his hand through my hair.

He pulled me into a rough kiss. He wrapped his hands around my neck. He smacked my ass making me cry out in pleasure. We looked at each other for a moment and then continued kissing. I tried to be more dominant and get on his lap grinding my hips on his hard c**k.

“Yes, baby. You are so f*****g sexy.” Cassian moaned into my ear.
