Chapter 208
Knight
I stare in amusement as I watched Cassie. She was getting drunk but this shit was becoming fun as well.
“Tell me more about him.” I say getting very invested.
“I’m still very much aware of myself Knight, don’t try to play me.” She said and I dip my head finding it amusing as well. It was only a matter of few more shots and she’d get drunk. I wonder if I should really play this game.
“Okay, pardon me. Do you want more?” Fuck yes, I was sly enough and I was going to play the game. I poured another shot for her and she gulped. She requested for another and I helped her with it. Maybe this was what she needed, she had been stiff ever since she returned from school. She probably just needed to be free to express all her held up emotions.
“So, do you have a boyfriend?”
“No….” She quickly says sounding disgusted at the idea. I was taken aback by it but another curiosity was unlocked.
“Why?”
“Why not?” She says and laughs out loud. Now she was drunk. She tried to take another shot but I took the glass from her . Her movements were sluggish but she looked cute all the same.
“Okay that’s enough. Let’s go back in.”
“No one more, just one more.” She begs reaching out for the wine. I hide it behind me and stand up carrying her along with me.
“You’re wasted Cassie.” I say trying to hold her still. Her legs are wobbly that she can’t stand to her feet on her own. Damn! This was going to be difficult.
“Try to walk steady, just lean on me for support. I can carry you if you want.” I offered while allowing her rest her head on my shoulder. She kept struggling to keep her stance but I didn’t think she’d succeed.
“No, they’ll talk … everyone’s going to talk.”
“Fine I won’t.” I say but go ahead to do the opposite. I lift her up her feet and into my arms discarding the bottle and glass behind us. She wraps her hand around my neck and the smell of alcohol from her waft through my nostrils. It causes me to smile amusingly.
I fucking enjoyed having her in my arms. I was glad that she came to me tonight instead of avoiding me especially after our kiss that day.
Seeing her peek through her window to see me I decided to give a shot at spending time with her.
I wasn’t sure it would be easy to have her heart, it didn’t seem like she had intentions of making it so but then I deserved it for how I hurt her in the past.
The fact that she was still attracted to me after it all was enough for me for now but along the line I knew I’d want more.
Her heart, her body and her soul to accept mine and bond with it.
I wish she’d love me as deeply as I’ve loved her. She was nineteen now, I didn’t need to feel terrible that I was dealing with a minor and as for Angel, I might really have to break the code.
I knew this wasn’t what he wanted for Cassie, he wanted her to have a normal life, a normal boyfriend, a normal family and be happy. Maybe I was selfish enough to want to take that away from her. Love I could offer, happiness, if she loved me as much but normal I couldn’t assure that since I was part of her family’s cartel.
I hoped he’d understand, he fell in love with his step sister as well. It may not be right due to the circumstances but when you love someone, you love them for real that the odds don’t seem to matter.
We finally arrived at her room, I had ignored every eye that caught us on our way up. Gossip was the best they could do but the men weren’t ones to easily gossip, the maids for sure but the men knew the rule.
I stretch my hand from underneath her and reach for her door to open it, I shut it back as I carried her into her room and lay her down on her bed. She turned and muttered some words I could not comprehend.
I wanted to leave but I felt scared leaving her alone in that state, what if she jumped out of her window? Fuck it! Why was I thinking in that direction.
I carried her further into the bed and wedge her by the sides with more pillows then I cover her with a blanket before walking towards the door.
I hear a light cry from her the moment I twisted the knob. It makes me hurry back to her.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” I ask sitting beside her, I raise her to rest on my legs and she slides a hand to my waist. “Cassie….” I call when she goes silent.
I had only witnessed Cassie get drunk once and she reacted this way. That was before she left for school a year ago. Precisely during the time I had rejected her feelings for me. Florentine caught her wasted on the very spot were we usually hung out and had asked me to carry her to her room.
She drank because she was heartbroken, I wondered what it was this time.
I stroke her hair gently letting her sob in my arms untill she went silent again.
“Do you feel better now?”
“Stay.” She mutters and I’m taken aback by her request but quite excited.
“You mean sleep in your room?” She nods and I couldn’t help the smile that crept into my face.
“I don’t want to be alone.” She continues and sobs for a few seconds.
“Alright, we’ll do just that. Stay together for the night.” I hug her more closely to my chest and drop a kiss on her forehead. I place her gently on the bed and proceed to take off my shoes and my shirt of course, I sleep shirtless. I slid back into bed and raise her to rest on my body, I caress her cheek and stroke her hair as well to calm her till she goes completely silent and I’m certain she’s asleep.
Fuck! Having her in my arms for an entire night was incredibly exciting. I wasn’t thinking of anything wild, I just wanted to take care of her and make her feel comfortable.
She stretched herself and next her leg was crossing over mine and it amused me. So she was throwing herself at me. If only she could see herself. I turn to my side and pull her legs up to rest well over mine.
I stare at her beautiful face for a while, admiring her and wishing for the day I’d make her mine. The day I’d get to be this way with her without any worries. Just love her as much as I want.
“I want to kiss you again Cassie.” I whisper even though she was asleep and couldn’t hear me. I caress her cheek and she moves.
Fuck! Hope I didn’t wake her.
“I want you to make love to me.”
My eyes widen hearing her mutter those words in her sleep. Fuck hell! Was she dreaming about me?
“Mmmhmm….” She moans which doubles as an answer to me.
“I touch her lips remembering how it tasted in mine and the urge to have another taste came over me but I slipped my finger from her lip.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Why was I thinking about this now? Fuck it! Well, how could I not? When she just asked me to make love to her in her sleep.
“Yes….” She muttered and I blinked out of curiosity. What was she saying yes to?
“Kiss me.”
Fuck! What did I just fucking hear? Damn it! “Damn you Cassie! You can’t just mutter things like that in your sleep.” I said through gritted teeth. I was fighting my desire for her now. I might have to leave her room. I was fucked for real because I swear I didn’t want to leave.
“I swear I want to kiss you so bad Cassie.”
“Mmm….” She moaned and I sighed in frustration. I looked at her and I was caught in a trance. Glued to her lips. Just one taste, just one….
I leaned close to her lips and stared a little, I gulped hard and sighed one more time before pressing my lips softly against hers.
If she had been awake and said those words I was afraid I’d make love to her for real but this was the farthest I could go while she was asleep.
I stayed in that position watching her while waiting for sleep to take over me.
“I love you Cassie.”
I muttered and shut my eyes.
