Back at the apartment, Kai carried her stuff inside and Cassidy followed him, trying to calm down again. She reminded herself of what he said, that she hadn't spent as much as he thought she would, but it still made her feel sick.

He hung up the dress, and sat down the boxes of shoes while she watched him, her arms wrapped around herself, as she tried to relax. She couldn't though.

Malachi was trying to sort through Cassidy's feelings. She was so overwhelmed, and it was a bit overwhelming for him too. Her emotions had been a whirlwind ever since he'd told her where they were going to dinner tomorrow and he'd thought about texting Daniel and asking him to change it to a less ritzy place.

Cassidy had been in panic mode pretty much since he'd told her and while she'd been a bit calmer while she was back being dressed by Miss Waters, it hadn't lasted.

He really didn't care about the money, but she did. Very much so. And the only thing he could think to do was distract her from it so she'd stop freaking out.
Even holding her would only calm her for so long, and then she was back in her head again.

He unbuttoned his own shirt, and pulled it off, then slipped off the tee he was wearing underneath it, paying close attention to her emotions. He turned back towards her and sat on the bed.

She wasn't looking at him and he watched her for a moment, noticing how tense she was. "Cass," he said softly.

She looked at him and his heart broke. She looked like she was about to cry. But she took a deep breath, and her gaze swept over him. He felt the small surge of desire.

"Take your clothes off." He had her full attention now, and she stared at him for a moment before she began to. "Slowly," he reminded her.

She slowed down, and he felt her begin to calm, as she stopped focusing on the money he'd just spent. A small smile played over his lips as he watched her slip off her bra and run her hands over her breasts before moving down to her panties. She slipped them slowly down her legs, and he watched her bend over to slide them off, and swallowed himself in anticipation.

She straightened and her gaze moved back to him, waiting to see what he would do next. He stared at her for a long moment taking her in. She was incredibly beautiful, and he wanted to just tell her to lay on the bed with her legs spread so he could slam his cock into her over and over again, but she most definitely wasn't ready for that. She was more aroused now than she'd been though.

"Come here."

She walked over to him and stopped a foot away.

He let his gaze trail over her now that she was much closer. He was starting to learn her body, and what she liked. "On the bed, on your knees."

He stood while she knelt, and he kept his gaze on her while he pulled off his own jeans, stripping down to just his boxers. She usually wasn't this quiet, but she was much calmer now than she'd been earlier, and growing more aroused by the moment.

He sat back down and let himself slowly look her over. She was fully exposed to him now and he loved it and the fact that she was comfortable with it. She was very aroused as well.

"Malachi?"

He smiled. "Yes?"

Her eyes closed and she swallowed. "Thank you."

Well that was out of nowhere. "For?"

"Taking me shopping. Spoiling me. I'm sorry I've been a pain today. I deserve a spanking," she said.

He snorted. "Next time I take you shopping, you will not freak out on me?"

"I will try not to," she admitted.
