The Devil's Daughter

Sick Day

Realizing that sleep wasn't going to be possible for me, I decided to get up and make myself a cup of tea. I checked the clock as I walked into the living room to see it reading 5:47. Cassie was still sound asleep in my room and I didn't want to make her feel like she had to leave. I walked to the counter to see my phone facing upwards. I picked it up and scrolled for Doug's contact. I've never once called out of work, even if I was deathly ill, so this is brand new for me. I pressed on his number and waited for him to answer.

"Doug, here." He greeted solemnly.

"Hey, it's Michael. Listen, I'm not going to be in at work today. I've got a family emergency I need to deal with." I prayed that he would buy my excuse.

"No worries, I'll let your team know. Is everything okay?" He asked calmly. I wasn't sure to how I should respond.

"I'm not entirely sure. I'm on the way to my families house now." I stated cooly.

"Well I hope everything turns out okay. Just let me know when you're okay to come back."

"Absolutely. Thanks Doug." We both said our goodbyes as I hung up the phone.

With a smile on my face, I walked to the stove and grabbed the teapot to fill with water. Once it was filled, I placed it back on its original eye as I looked through the cabinets to find a teabag that suited my interest. I grabbed an orange teabag and place it in the mug as I waited for the water to get done. While standing there, I replayed the events from the night before in my head. To know that all this time I've been looking for Parker Chandler, he was right in front of me. Or should I say she was right in front of me.

I don't understand why she felt the need to tell me all of this. For someone who has yet to be found, she made the chase fairly easy for me. It didn't make sense. As I stood by the stove, I felt a pair of hands run over my chest.

"I thought I was the one to sneak off while you were sleeping?" The sound of her morning voice sent chills down my spine.

"Don't worry, I plan to come back." I shot her a look that resolved in her laughing.

"Touché."

She voluntarily removed her hands from me before she moved to the side of me. She hopped up on the counter and found a comfortable seat next to me.

"You're making it hard to focus on what I'm doing."

I traced my eyes over her bare legs. The hem of my shirt covered the top part of her thighs, but not without giving me a slight view of what was underneath. Black suited her and that, alone, drove me to the brink of insanity.

"Well, fuck what you're doing and come over here to me."

She said seductively. She bit down on her lip before letting her eyes give me a once-over.

"But, this is for you."

I said with a whimper. I couldn't contain myself from staring at her body and she ate it up.

"We can always make more later. I'm always thirsty after a workout." She winked at me before pulling me in between her legs.

Our lips connected to one another's in a split second. I couldn't tear my hands away from her body in the midst of this moment. My hands roamed up her bare thighs and made way to her face. It felt like I couldn't take anymore of this teasing.

She let her hands roam over my shoulders and into my hair as I pulled her to me. Her legs wrapped around my waist as I began to walk us back to my room. Our lips never parted from one another which turned me on even more.

"God, you're irresistible." I mumbled against her lips.

"Are you sure it's not the danger in me that turns you on?" She said as she pulled away.

"Oh, trust me, it does. But in a whole different way."

I got lost in her eyes as I laid her down and began to focus back on the most important thing at the moment. Making love to my girl.

...

After what felt like minutes, I opened my eyes to see the sun was a much deeper gold than it was earlier. I looked over to the clock to see it readying 3:05. I didn't realize how long we slept for and to say I was surprised, didn't begin to cover it. I looked over to see that Cassie was tangled up in my arms, sleeping so peacefully.

I untangled myself from her embrace and walked to the bathroom to turn on the shower. I turned the nozzle on towards hot as I waited for the shower to steam up. I peeked my head into the bedroom to see that Cassie switched positions. I bit down on my lip to see her breasts peeking out from underneath the sheets. To rid myself of a difficult thought to get rid of, I stepped underneath the water and let it run over my skin. I sighed deeply as the warm water coated my being.

"Didn't want to wait for me?"

Cassie's voice rang out as she joined me in the shower. I wrapped my arms around her as I pulled her body under the water.

"I thought you were sleeping? I didn't want to wake you." I smiled against her as I leaned down to kiss her.

"Mmmm, I was, but I heard the shower running and it woke me up. Didn't want to miss my chance at seeing you naked in the shower." She grinned widely.

"Definitely don't want to miss that." I turned around to grab my bottle of shampoo before looking back at her.

"Turn around."

She glanced between me and the bottle before turning around slowly. I made sure her whole head was soaked before allowing my hands to run into her scalp. Each time I moved my hands, she groaned in pleasure, causing me to think some rather unholy thoughts. I bit my lip through it all to avoid putting her up against the shower wall and railing her into next week.

"That feels so good." She moaned as I reluctantly removed my hands to rinse out her hair.

For the next while we washed and teased each other up until the hot water began to dim down. We exited the shower, wrapping a couple of towels around our bodies. I walked into the bedroom and put on some clothes before walking back into the bathroom to see Cassie combing through her hair.

"Can I ask you something?" I said aloud.

"Sure." She said as she looked back towards me.

"I know you said that you wanted to tell me this because I seemed trustworthy, but I know that's not the real reason." She didn't say anything for a few moments as she continued to detangle her hair.

"Honestly, I'm tired. I'm tired of running and I'm tired of having to put up a front. I've done this for far too long and I never thought I'd get to this point. It's just over for me and I'm okay with that." She turned to me and leaned up against the counter.

"What about your empire?" I asked her,

"I don't know. I have to figure everything out. I just want to live normally and not have any stresses on my plate. It's even more difficult when you're running from cops." She shot me a glance.

"I just think that the few close calls lately have been a sign to solidify my decisions and I'm okay with it." She walked towards me.

"I think this a good and justifiable decision on your part." She didn't say anything else.

"I don't tell you all of this just for you to run back to your team of rats. I'm holding you to that." She said seriously with a straight look on her face.

"I promise." She walked up to me slowly and caressed her hand down from my chest to my genitals.

"Care for another round, Casanova?" I grinned widely before leading her back to the bed and continuing our session for the rest of the day.
