Laying in bed, Cassia stared straight at the blank wall across from her side of the bed, her eyes popped open with nothing but darkness and illumination of the moon surrounding her. She laid in thought...that and confusion, confusion because she didn't understand what was going on. Not with herself, and especially not with them. That them not being her and her significant other, except it being her and the man she was legally bounded to.
The image of his tongue running over his lips before he left her with a 'don't go to bed' replayed in her mind. She was fighting her sleep heavily, her hand reaching over to tap her phone screen to read the time.
"2:12" She mumbled to herself, sighing heavily because she was getting ready to just go to bed. Her chest aching with the thought of him potentially just not coming, regardless of the fact that she currently lay in bed with the only man who should have had her attention...Drell. She listened to his soft breathing of him asleep, a small pang of guilt hitting her, but it was quickly washed away once her phone lit up with a notification. Instantly, Cassia sat her body up to rest against the headboard as she grabbed the phone.
Front door entry, it read. That right under the surveillance footage that clearly showed Cepheus' body walking in as if he lived there. She didn't even know how he had a key to her house, but she definitely wasn't questioning it now.
Glancing over at Drell, she stared at his back for a minute before climbing out of the bed as quietly as she possibly could. The only thing that covered her body was her matching white bra and thong set. Her hand reaching over to grab her white silk robe in order to cover her body, the small draft from the window being open forcing a shiver down her spine, just as she started on her way out of the room with her phone clenched in her hand.
She didn't flick the lights on, the last thing she needed being Drell waking up and following the illumination to come find her. She walked down the dark hallway with her hands feeling against the walls to make sure she was going on a steady pathway, that along with her phone shone down the area she was supposed to be walking. She made sure to check on Christian and the twins, just to double check that they were all sleeping which they were, just before her body turned to stand at the top of the staircase where she could clearly see Cepheus already standing at the bottom of. Him staring up at her barely clothed body due to her robe being wide open.
He leaned up against the back of the couch, his hands clasped together in front of his body with his feet crossed at the ankles. He tilted his head slightly, eyeing Cassia who made no effort to walk down the stairs to meet him yet. Except she was standing with her heart rate picking up in her chest, seeing the far from happy look on his face. Jaw clenched, eyes green and dull, with no expression to back anything up.
