Darkly, Yours

Chapter 17

Cassius arrived back in New York at one in the morning. Instead of going to his house, he have his driver drop him off at Story. He know she's probably still sleeping but, he has a key and will just let himself in.

He got to Story's apartment and let himself in. He found the perfect apartment for her and he can't want to get her out of this shit hole.

He hang up his jacket, remove his shoes and take the bags he's carrying to the couch. Story's 21st birthday is in two days and he's already making plans. She will be legal to drink then and she have always wanted to taste red wine.

Cassius roll up his sleeves and get to work on breakfast. He tend to take long to make breakfast. He like perfection and breakfast has to be perfect. Especially for his woman.

Two and a half hours later, the sun is rising and the apartment smell heavenly.

He make Tiramisu Crepes, Veggie Sausage Strata and of course freshly squeeze orange juice.

His phone rang and he answer without looking at it. Maybe he should have.

"There's someone in my apartment,"a small voice whispered. Cassius quickly pull his phone away from his ear and look at the caller ID. He smile when he saw the name.

"You can come our wold flower."

He hang up and hear the bedroom door open.

"You scare me!"

Belle wrap her little arms around his muscular body.

"Hello Wildflower. You were very smart to call me instead of investigating."

"I'm not one of those stupid white girls you know."

"That you aren't.

"So what did you bring me this time?"

"Go look in my jacket pocket."

Belle happily went to see what Cassius got her. He lean on the counter and wait for her to return. He hear her happy squeal and small feet on the wooden floor.

"I love it!"

She hug him before pulling away to admire her new bracelet.

"Wait. Are these real diamonds?"

"Yes." He take it from her hand and put it on her wrist. "Platinum tennis bracelet with diamonds."

"How much is this?"

"You know I'm not going to tell you." She pout. "That face is not going to work this time."

She roll her eyes.

"That sassiness is going to get you spanked."

"You wouldn't."

"You want to find out?"

"I'm hungry." She hurry pass him to the food on the counter.

"So now let's talk apartment. I know you wouldn't want to move in with me so I got you an apartment and you can't refused."

"Moving is the worst part Cassius."she groaned.

Cassius lift her into the counter and stand between her thighs.

"That's why am here. Though I would rather live with me. But I won't push."

He kiss her on the lips and watch her blush.

"So fucking beautiful Wildflower."

He wrap her legs around his waist and sit with her on a chair. He bring the food closer and get her to eat more than half a plate of something.

"No more."

Cassius look at the plate and nod. She ate enough.

"Let's get you back to bed. It's still early."
