Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Julian's POV
I warmed up to Max naturally, with his green eyes and brown hair, he looked more like me than Cassie and I couldn't be more glad. It was as if he was created to be my baby boy! He called me 'Daddy' with his baby eyes full of love and adoration and it melted my heart and made me thankful to have him in my life. I was very angry with what that basta*d Desmond had done to Cassie, but I left the sore topic and never asked her anything as it pained her to talk about it. I wanted to punish him and I knew it wouldn't be hard with dad's connections but I was afraid to bring up the topic. Maybe when I had married her and erased all her fears, I could bring up the topic and punish the evil man.
I just wanted to make Cassie happy, to erase the sad look in her eyes, and replace it with a happy, contented smile. I wanted to give her all that she deserved and more. At such a young age she faced more hardships than I could ever imagine. I was touched by Avery's words, yes, she indeed was a gem and I had no plans of letting her get out of my sight, ever. I wasn't very good with words or expressing myself like Stefan was. I preferred actions more and there wasn't any other way than making love to her to show that I cherished her.
Max was extremely excited as we toured the entire resort and checked out all the animals together, we learned how to feed baby animals, how to pick freshly laid eggs, how to feed hay to the cows, and pick apples and other fresh fruits. It was a very overwhelming outing for me as well. I bonded with Cassie and Max more. I became an indispensable part of their lives, something I had been wanting from the day I met Cassie.
"Daddy look, a baby piggy," Max squealed as a baby piglet ran around his mother, in circles, falling down and getting up again and again. He was really tiny and very adorable indeed.
Max ran to catch it, "No Maxie, we don't catch it, his mamma will get angry," I said as Cassie approved since the piglet was covered with dirt.
"Pwease giw him milky, daddy," Max said as I took a little bottle of milk that our tour guide handed to us and searched for a clean piglet.
"Okay, let's feed that one some milk. This piggy is too little, it drinks only his mamma's milk," I explained and Max nodded in understanding.
Max and I fed the other little piglet some milk, and then our guide brought a baby goat and we fed it the rest of the milk.
"Ewww, poopy, Mommy, Daddy, run," said Max as he pulled my hand and started running away when the baby goat started pooping after drinking the milk. We laughed and followed him eagerly. I glanced at Cassie and saw him staring back at me with lots of emotions in her eyes.
By lunchtime, we led a bouncing Max back to the cottage to eat lunch. We ordered meatloaf and three plates of macaroni and cheese and green beans and biscuits on the side. The food was freshly made and Max enjoyed it, so we just ordered an orange juice for him to go with his lunch.
We relaxed on the front porch while Max rode a cute tricycle that I brought on my truck especially for Max. We had packed Max's football and we played for some time. We looked like a perfect family and I was a proud dad to Max.
"Did you buy that cycle for Max?" She asked me, confusedly.
"Yeah, it's quite safe don't worry," I told her as she nodded her head.
"No, why did you have to spend so much," she said on a serious note. I gaped at her. It was just a cycle and it hardly cost anything!
"It just costs a few dollars, believe me. I can afford much more for my son," I said, looking offended. I was a billionaire for God's sake. Wasn't she aware of it? I looked at Max excitedly singing, "Old McDonald had a farm" in his baby voice while riding on his cycle. He seemed so happy and my heart swelled with pride to be the cause of his happiness.
"Thank you, Julian," she said, hugging me suddenly, "No one has ever done so much for us," she said. I chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Just a hug won't do, darling, you know what I want," I said, pecking her lip as well as the sensitive spot behind her ears.
"Kissyyyyyy," Max squealed with delight staring at us. A few other families strolling around doing farm activities stared in our direction hearing him.
Cassie blushed as she went to kiss Max and bring him back.
Max was already tired and Cassie gave him his milk and put him to sleep.
I picked up his cycle and went inside, locking the door and going to Max's room. I kissed him on the forehead as he slept soundly. Turning around, I quietly picked up Cassie on my shoulder and came to our room.
"So, thank me now," I said, putting her down slowly. She grinned and was about to walk away when I caught her by the waist. My hand went under her lemon yellow sundress and grabbed her b*tt cheek and crushed her to my hard arou*al. She gasped with delight making me more aroused. I released her waist and unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the floor. Her black lacy underwear was torn in a second and thrown away. I stroked her naked body as I picked her up, her legs wrapped around my torso. "I want to be inside you, make love to you till you tell me you'll move in with me," I whispered huskily as I kissed her lips and laid her on the bed.
"Oh, Julian," she gasped making me more excited as I touched her wet juicy core and started caressing and thrusting my fingers in and out of her. I couldn't get enough of her, she had made me like a horny teenager.
After many rounds of lovemaking, she dozed off in my arms, as I watched her sleep. She looked happy, the last few days, the sadness had gone from her eyes, and I was so glad.
I was waiting for the day she would move in with me. Stefan and Anna's wedding was coming up and we didn't discuss whether we would take Max with us. How would Max stay without us for 3 days? I had to talk to Cassie. Mom and dad would love to have him there. If only Cassie agreed.
