Forbidden Love [Fem!reader x Cassandra] [COMPLETE]

24

"But unharmed!"

Cassandra laughed as I shut the locket and placed it on my table, turning to face the vampire soon after. She pulled me closer and nuzzled into me, the smile on her face never fading. 'I haven't seen her this happy in so long. And knowing it's because I'm dating her? Gods, that can stop someone's heart.' Confusion clouded her eyes before I kissed her, making her return the kiss immediately.

"What was that for?" She murmured against my lips.

"For making me not fear the 'M' word."

"The what?"

"Marriage," I laughed, ignoring the intrigued hum from my aunt in my head. "Part of me thought about it and, for once, I didn't want to push the thoughts away. I wanted to see you waiting for me in a wedding dress — ready to marry me."

A flustered buzz left Cassandra. "Uh, aren't you worried that your aunt-?"

"She's already listening, and for once, I don't care. Even if our love is forbidden in the eyes of Olympus, it's not going to stop us from being together. She knows that too."

"...In that case," Cassandra smiled and placed kisses all over my cheek. "I've thought about the same day — although you're the one in a dress waiting for me."

"We can polish the details later," I said with a smile. "How long have you thought about it?"

Cassandra POV

19??

"Lady Cassandra?" [Y/N] called, snapping me out of my trance.

"Hm?"

"Is something wrong? You've barely said a word to me — it's unlike you."

"Just," I sighed dreamily when she stretched, her uniform exposing more of her thighs and making me bite my lower lip. "Admiring the view."

"...The curtains are closed."

'You. You're the view! How has she not gotten that by now?! How am I ever going to make her my wife when she doesn't even notice I check her out!?'

"Do you... Want me to open them?"

"I want you to take a hint."

"I'm sorry?" The confusion on her face made me swoon, but her obliviousness made my heart ache.

"Forget it," I forced a smile and gently pinched her cheek. "I was just messing with you anyway — wanted to see how you'd react."

"Oh!" She giggled before leaning into my hand, and for a second, I thought my heart began beating again. "I failed again, didn't I? I'll get it one day, I promise."

"I know you will," I whispered, grazing my thumb over her bottom lip. "I'll wait for you."

'I'll wait however long I need to if it means calling you my wife at some point,' I told myself as my hand slid from her cheek to her neck, caressing it gently. 'Because I know you'd do the same. Deep down, you feel what I do, right? The urge to be near you, hold you, protect you-.'

"Cass, you're zoning out again," She muttered, allowing me to realize I had leaned in and pinned her between my body and the wall.

'Her heart never beats this fast... Is it because of me? Our proximity? Does she... Does she fear me?'
