Chapter 17: Chapter 17

After the first part of the Battle of the Strongest has ended. Cassandra and the girls decided to go back to their room. Jet insisted on buying food to celebrate Cassandra's victory. Oliver and Liam agreed, but Sebastian wouldn't leave Cassandra. Jet begged Cassandra, and she forced Sebastian to go with the boy while they stay and wait in the dorm.

"When will go back to training?" Lisanna asked. Cassandra slouched on the couch and groaned.

"I don't want to talk about it, Lis. That's the last thing on my mind right now," Cassandra said. Lisanna chuckled.

"Okay, I get it," Lisanna said. "Go to your room and change. Jet and the others are about to come back," she added. Cassandra's forehead creased.

"How did you know?" Cassandra asked. Lisanna just shrugged her shoulder and went to the mini kitchen they have in their room. She made a face and stood up. She went to her room and lay on the soft mattress of the bed. Her eyes began closing, but she was suddenly disturbed by a knock. Cassandra stood up and opened the door.

"Hurry up, Cassy! They're already here," Abegail said. Cassandra nodded her head and saw Sebastian looking at her. She smiled before closing the door. Cassandra grabbed the oversized shirt and a fitted shorts on her cabinet and went to the bathroom. After washing, she got out and saw her friends drinking beer. Lisanna threw her a bottle, which she instantly caught.

"Beers had no effect on us, remember?" Cassandra muttered and opened the bottle.

"You are wrong, Cass. This beer is strong. I will guarantee you that you will get drunk," Liam said and winked. Cassandra drinks it. The beer tastes good.

"For Cassandra. Congratulations!" Jet shouted and raised the bottle of beer he was holding. The others followed him.

"Cheers!" Jet said. They drank the beer together, and the small room was filled with joy and laughter. Jet began teasing Lisanna while Abegail, Liam, and Oliver were talking. On the other hand, Sebastian sat on the couch; it seems like he has something on his mind. Cassandra walked towards him and sat on his lap. He looked shocked, but Cassandra just smiled and drank the beer. Sebastian already had four beers. They sat on the couch in silence.

Sebastian pulled Cassandra. Her breath hitched when he started kissing her neck. Cassandra gripped his shirt and moaned; she feels good. Sebastian kissed and nibbled her shoulder blades. She gasped when she felt his hand under her shirt, caressing her stomach.

"Not here, Blood," Cassandra managed to say. He intensely looked her in the eyes and sighed. She left on his lap and was about to go to the kitchen, but Sebastian suddenly pulled her on the waist and carried her back to her room. When they entered, he locked the door behind him. He put her down on the bed and looked at her. Cassandra could hear her heartbeat loudly; the anticipation is slowly killing her. She gripped the hem of her shirt and unconsciously bit her lips.

"Don't do that," Sebastian said. She didn't notice that he was already in front of her. He cupped and lifted her face until they locked eyes. Sebastian traces over her cheekbone with his finger. Cassandra closed her eyes.

"Beautiful. So damn beautiful," Sebastian said, and Cassandra felt his lips on her. The warmth of his mouth sent a current running through her body. Cassandra snaked her arms around his neck and kissed him back. It felt amazing. She was lost in her thought that she didn't know that Sebastian already lay her down. He stopped kissing her and stared. Cassandra pulled her again, and this time, she was the one who kissed him. The kiss was slow, soft, and passionate, and then it became aggressive and needy. Sebastian tasted her mouth with his tongue and nipped her bottom lip. He started kissing her eyes, cheeks, and jaw down to her neck.

"Ahhh," Cassandra moaned as Sebastian began licking and nibbling her neck. She quickly pulled off her shirt and threw it on the floor. Sebastian started unbuttoning his own clothes, but he suddenly froze. He looked at her, and as fast as the lighting, he was gone.

"Fuck. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it," Sebastian apologized while sitting on the chair far from Cassandra. She picked her shirt on the ground. She felt really hurt.

"You don't want me?" Cassandra whispered.

"No! That's not what you think, love," Sebastian said and hugged her. "I respect you. Believe me, I love to make love to you, but this is not the right time," he added. Cassandra heaved a sigh and hugged him back.

"I'm sorry," Cassandra said. He smiled and brushed the stray hair from her face. "I like it," she added.

"What?" Sebastian asked, confused.

"I like what we did," Cassandra said while blushing.

"Damn it, love. You're killing me," Sebastian said and hugged her tightly. She laughed and gently pushed him away.

"Let's go out," Cassandra said while smiling. Sebastian shook his head.

"Let's sleep, don't mind our friends out there," Sebastian said. Cassandra couldn't do anything and followed him. She also felt tired.

"Where are you going?" Cassandra asked when Sebastian began walking.

"Shower," Sebastian answered and went to the bathroom. Cassandra fixed her shirt for the last time and lay down. After showering, Sebastian got out and lay down beside her. She snuggled close to him and closed her eyes. She felt him kissed her forehead. Cassandra couldn't help but smile, a contented one.

"Sleep tight, my Queen," Sebastian whispered, and Cassandra drifted to a peaceful sleep.

Another day dawned. Cassandra opened her eyes; she could feel a heavy hand resting in her stomach. She watched and saw Sebastian. Cassandra smiled and stared lovingly at his face; she kissed his nose and gently removed the hand from her stomach. Cassandra got up from the bed and fixed herself.

Cassandra went outside and saw Liam sleeping on the couch. Jet, on the other hand, was sleeping on the floor while Oliver was nowhere to be found. Her forehead creased, and she grimaced because of the mess in the kitchen. Cassandra approached Liam and Jet and woke them up.

"Let me sleep more," Jet mumbled while Cassandra was shaking him. Annoyed, Cassandra pinched him on the stomach. Liam, on the other hand, started cleaning.

"Fuck! That hurt!" Jet said. He's now wide awake. Cassandra laughed and stared at him. Half- asleep after waking up, Jet helped Liam.

"Fuck! My back hurts so much," Jet muttered.

"Why the fuck did you pushed me last night? The couch was spacious," Jet asked Liam, who's laughing at his face. He shrugged his shoulder and walked away from Jet. Cassandra couldn't help but shake her head to them; she went to Lisanna's room and woke her up.

"It's noisy," Lisanna mumbled while rubbing her eyes.

"It's Jet and Liam, playing," Cassandra replied. The two went out and walked to where Abegail's room is located.

"Oh, shit!" Cassandra muttered while smiling. Oliver and Abegail were on the same bed hugging. Abegail quickly opened her eyes and stared at Oliver in shock.

"Cassy, it's not what you think!" Abegail said while panicking. Without a second thought, she pushed Oliver off the bed.

"What the hell Abby!? Why did you do that!?" Oliver asked, irritated. Abegail glared at him and pointed Cassandra in the doorway. Oliver followed her finger and saw her; he smiled and waved his hand.

"Oh, Cassy," Oliver said. Cassandra burst into laughter and looked at Abegail, who's already blushing hard. She raised her thumb and closed the door. Cassandra genuinely wants them to

make up because she knew they still love each other. She helped clean the mess and went back to her room to wake her sleeping mate.

"Where did you go?" Sebastian asked after she opened the door. Cassandra saw him sitting on the edge of the bed and already dressed.

"Outside. I helped them clean the mess we all made last night," Cassandra answered and sat beside him. She leaned on his shoulder.

"What are we going to do today?" Cassandra asked.

"Nothing. You will resume your training, love," Sebastian said. Cassandra glared at him.

"Training again!?" Cassandra asked; she wanted to skip the training today. Sebastian smiled and nodded. Cassandra stomped her feet and walked away, hearing Sebastian laughed behind her.

After eating their breakfast, the boys went home together while Cassandra and her friends started preparing for her training. She was still frowning when she arrived on Sebastian's training ground accompanied by her friends.

"Good. You are already here. Wait for me for a minute; I will get the supplies," Oliver said. Cassandra nodded her head. Because of irritation, she kicked the stone.

"Poor stone," Sebastian said. Cassandra saw him leaning against the tree. She glared at him, still mad about the training.

"What are you doing here, Blood?" Cassandra angrily asked. Sebastian walked towards her and extended his hand.

"Let's run away?" Sebastian asked with a smile. Cassandra stared at his hand and smiled back. "Gladly."
