Sincerely, Yours

Chapter 4

The next day, Kassandra paced around her room. "Are you okay, honey?" Terri asked, walking into her room. "You've been pacing in your room all morning."

"I'm fine, mom. You are going to work early?" Kassandra asked as she saw her mother in her uniform.

"Yes, Robert is already there. We might be home really late tonight." Terri said as there was a knock on the door. Kassandra followed Terri to the living room curious of who could've been so early. "What are you doing here?" Terri asked furiously.

"We have a problem." German said walking in. Terri looked between them.

"You went to see him again after I told you not to!" Terri said.

"Mom, you have to understand. I can't lose him too."

"Don't you worry, German. I'm sending her packing back to school. She won't be back here."

"You haven't told her?" German asked as Kassandra bit her nails.

"Tell me what?" Terri asked.

"She dropped out of school. You have nowhere to send her to. And she went to the club causing trouble so now I have to protect her."

"Oh God, I told you to stay away from her! Damn you, German!" Terri yelled. "You need to fix this."

"You're the one that told him to stay away from me?" Kassandra asked.

"They had their reasons, Kass." German said.

"You fix this, I'm off to work." Terri said leaving.

Kassandra walked towards her room followed by German. "Now you walk away from me? When I told you you wouldn't listen? Now it's too late, Kass."

"You are going to tell me everything, now."

He walked in and closed the door. She stood with her back to her desk and her arms crossed. "Fair enough. I took over my father's business. I own the Nightingale's and everything else he ever owned before."

"What does your father do? I always wondered."

"He's part of the mafia."

"What?"

"Now you see why I wanted you to stay away?"

"Why couldn't you just tell me?"

"I didn't want you to hate me."

"I could never hate you, German. So, you associate with people like Carlo and the other guys now?"

"They are business partners, they are not good people, Kass. And what happened last night cost me some business. Which is not good."

"So, what happens now?"

He walked towards her and stood in front of her. He grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes. "You must come under my protection now. When I told them you were mine that they couldn't touch you, they asked for proof."

"Proof? How do we prove that?"

"You're going to have to come live with me over at the house." He picked her up and sat her on the desk and stood between her legs holding to her waist.

"What are you doing?" She said as she placed her hands on his chest.

"Kass, would you be mine?" He asked, getting closer to her.

"German, are you being serious right now?"

"As serious as I can be."

She swallowed hard. This was German, her best friend. But she had to admit, she secretly thought what it would be like to be with him. "I... yes, I guess."

"You guess?" He chuckled and tickled her. "This is a serious question, Kass. Would you be mine?"

"Yes, I will." She said, placing her arms around his neck.

He pulled her towards him and kissed her. She tightened her grip around his neck. He picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and he walked towards the bed. He dropped her slowly as he removed his shirt before laying next to her and continued kissing her. She got on top of him and removed her dress. His hands went to her breasts and he kissed and squeezed them. He unhooked her bra and threw it aside as she kissed his chest. He pulled her aside as he got up to take off his pants, he took a condom out of his pocket. She pulled down her underwear and he got back on top of her. "Are you sure you want this?" He asked as he positioned himself between her legs.

"Yes, I'm sure." She said as he plunged himself inside of her. She gasped as he entered her. Her nails dug in his back. He thrust in her as they both moaned in pleasure. They switched positions and she got on top of him, he held to her hips as she rode him. She raked her nails through his chest. He started going faster as she clenched him. She moaned loud as he released himself, she collapsed on top of him as he kissed her forehead.

"That was amazing." He said as he held her.

"Yes, it was."

"Have you had sex with anybody else after Mark?" He asked, referring to her highschool boyfriend.

"I have to confess something." She said sitting up.

"What?" He asked worriedly.

"I never had sex with Mark. I wanted to seem cool, so I lied."

"You lied to me? Who did you want to look cool for? For me? Please, I always thought you were cool. No matter what you did or didn't do. I didn't like that Mark anyway." He laughed. "So, was this your first time?"

"Yes." She said shyly.

"Did I hurt you? You should've told me." He said, pulling her into her arms and kissing her deeply.

"So, now what?"

"Now, we go home. So, go and pack your things."

"Robert is going to kill you, you know?"

"Yeah, he never liked me." He laughed.

She quickly got dressed and started packing her clothes. "Would they be okay at your house with me living there?"

"My father retired and went on a long trip with my mother. It's only me at the house."

"Oh, well. This is everything I own." She said placing two suitcases on the bed.

"You ready? This isn't going to be easy, Kass. My life isn't easy. I associate with very bad people and it's dangerous. That's why I wanted to keep you away. But you are so stubborn."

"You and I together, always together, remember?"

"Yes, I remember." He said kissing and hugging her.
