Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Cassandra's POV

The moment we were outside, Avery grabbed my hand and pulled me backward. "Here keep this, Cass," she said pushing a tube into my hand, surprising me beyond words. What sort of game was she up to now?

"What's this?" I asked confusedly as Julian laughed.

"It's called a Concealer for concealing marks. You need it, honey," she said with a knowing look as I blushed like a tomato and glared at Julian. Taking a good look at the tube, I wanted to squirt the product right onto her face.

"Ha ha, very funny," I grumbled at the two of them.

"That stick will finish in a week, Avery, you can keep it. I will buy her a year's supply," Julian said as he winked at us and opened the car door for me. He deposited Max on the car seat at the back of his white BMW.

Avery laughed heartily and waved at all of us, and gave me a bear hug.

"I like him, girl," she winked before going inside. Julian loaded Max's bags and after helping me, climbed in and started the ignition. Max squealed in delight and kept on saying "vroom vroom" till he dozed off for a nap.

"He's so happy to see me, unlike you," said Julian as he glanced at me expectantly, wanting me to blurt out the obvious but I was no fool and I played his game instead.

I flashed a fake smile at him. "Good for you, you wanted to be his daddy," I said cheekily as he rolled his eyes and drove to Aunt Caroline's house.

"I want to be many more things to you if you give me the chance," he said with a smirk.

"In your dreams," I said aloud while my heartbeat quickened as our destination drew nearer.

"Oh, you don't even want to know my dreams, darling. You'll not be able to hear what I do to you in my dreams," he said as I blushed and blushed and put my hands on my ears to block out what his dirty mouth might spew out. He laughed out loud as he stopped the car in front of the house. He opened my door and got Max's bags and the food packet. He deposited everything in the reception room as I carried a sleeping Max inside and upstairs to his room.

Julian made his bed and I deposited him on it and ensuring that he was sound asleep, we tiptoed out. As soon as I reached Max's door, Julian picked me up and carried me bridal style to my bedroom.

"We seem like a married couple already, don't we?" he chuckled and I giggled knowing he was right. He deposited me on the bed and unzipped my sheath dress and took it off. He unhooked my br* and threw it somewhere, ripping my red satin pa*ties off me as he stared at my nak*d body with pure l*st-filled eyes. He stripped off all his clothes one at a time with his eyes never leaving mine as if he was giving me a private strip show. I was powerless to do anything else but stare with lust-filled eyes at his sexy and ripped body and throbbing and aroused shaft. At last, he joined me on the bed, pinning me to it with his thick, muscular legs.

His mouth crashed into mine as he greedily devoured me, his hands molding my body to his. I kissed him back with equal fervor. His hands held mine and placed it on his hard arou*al as I stroked him just as he wanted me to. His mouth left mine to suck my brea*ts, his thumb stroking my peaks constantly.

"Oh, Julian, I missed you so much," I said as he grinned happily as his mouth went down to my soaking core. He passionately licked, sucked, and thrust his tongue, hungrily devouring every fold and licking off all my juices, making me fist my fingers into his hair, surrendering myself wantonly to him. At that moment. I didn't care about anything but the pleasure he was giving me. His fingers worked their magic on my folds and soon I was writhing and moaning with pleasure as his rhythm increased.

"Come for me, darling," he whispered huskily and soon I obliged him, releasing all my juices right into his mouth. I sagged back onto the pillow, sated and exhausted from the earth-shattering release he gave me.

His mouth left me as he positioned himself above me and in one hard thrust, was embedded within me, thrusting in and out, as we made love again and again, till we lost count. I was too sore to get up, so we rested in each other's arms, till it was time to feed Max.

We dressed and made dinner and then fed Max and played with him. I had never been happier. We could get used to this sort of family scene every day. It would be bliss being around Julian and Max and living life as a happy family. However, I couldn't help but wonder whether we really were a happy family!

I didn't know what I was to him, I wasn't his girlfriend, I wasn't his fiancé, I wasn't anything to him apart from his desire, someone to warm his bed whenever he wanted, maybe. He said he loved me but I didn't know whether he was joking or just messing with my head. I didn't know how long this could last, but in my 20 years of life, no one had ever made me feel as wanted as Julian had. Max had accepted him so happy. I didn't want to think about the future, what would happen to us once Julian got tired of us and moved on to another woman. Sandra told me that he was a player, and he never did relationships. I knew that it was no point in thinking about what might happen. I decided to take one day at a time and enjoy it like there's no tomorrow. If he indeed got tired of us, I would never pursue him. I'd let him go and be happy. Max and I would learn to live without him!

After an evening of enjoyment when we put Max to bed, my heart again wanted to sing with joy eagerly waiting to spend time alone with Julian again. When I came down, I saw that Julian had arranged for a candlelight dinner at home for us and his thoughtfulness took my breath away. The entire setup and ambiance were heavenly and made my heart skip a beat or two. I cooked a simple one-pot Italian skillet dinner combining sausages with peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, vegetable juice, and rice and mozzarella cheese for a meal. We added aunt Caroline's mince pie and red velvet cake as well. It turned out to be an extravagant and delicious meal and we wiped our plates clean. Julian drank some beer too. We chatted for some time but I couldn't ask him if he was staying the night. It was 10 o'clock at night and he rose to leave, placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

'I have an early meeting tomorrow, Cassie. I'll see you later," he said and I smiled at him sadly, nodding my head. he pecked my lips and after giving me a brief hug, he left. I dragged my body back instantly missing him.
