33. Some kind of a King

 Two weeks later

"What are you looking at?" Cassie wondered as she put the milk back in the fridge. She could feel the intensity of Billy's gaze on her back. It almost burned.

"You know what I am looking at, " he said as a matter of fact, easing back in the chair with a smug smile on his face.

Damn, he was happy. These last two weeks together with Cassandra had made him the happiest man alive. He was darn near walking on air and he was in seventh heaven.

Jobwise, he had managed to persuade his father to send one of his co-workers over to Hawaii to run his company until he got back, so with that off his shoulders, he could enjoy his stay with Cassandra even more.

And boy had he enjoyed her . . .every day and every night.

Ever since that first day when he had been rough with her, he had just made tender love to her . . . really tender love. And God, did it feel good.

Ryan and the guys in the club had, after a pretty hefty discussion given him their okay's. He knew they wanted him back on the club premises, but he really had to do this.

He had to stay a while longer.

Just to make sure that everything involving Cassandra's divorce went smoothly, paperwork and such.

Brad on the other hand, the stinker . . . had proven to be even more obnoxious than he had thought of to begin with. The guy had actually refused to sign the divorce papers at first, but after a personal visit from Billy one night, Brad had been persuaded, ever so kindly, to finally sign them.

He could recall . . .

"Billy! Are you listening to me?"

He was abruptly awakened from his thoughts as a damp towel landed in his lap. Looking up and piercing his eyes at her, Billy was somewhat amused by Cassie's stunned expression.

"No, not really, " he admitted with a grin, "I did not hear a thing, as the view in front of me got my mind to wander off."

Cassie rolled her eyes and shook her head a little. Men.

"Wander off, huh?"

With a mischievous wink of his eye, Billy nodded back at her.

"Come here, " he said with a low and seductive voice and reached for her.

His strong hands got hold of her and twirled her around, before she landed in his lap.

Instantly his arms wrapped around her waist and held her close, and he buried his face in the crock of her neck. His actions were affectionate and his touch was soft as he treasured her closeness.

"Have you any idea how happy you make me?" he whispered close to her ear, his hot breath making all of her hairs stand out and her scalp to prickle.

Cassie couldn't help the small giggle that slipped her lips.

"If it is half as much as you make me happy, it has to be a hell of a lot, " she cooed , turning her head so that she was facing him, "At least I hope so."

Billy chuckled softly and tightened his hold on her. This woman he would never let go.

"Just the thought of becoming a father makes me want to jump with joy, " he grinned.

Cassie beamed back at him. The words from Billy were like warm molasses to her inner soul and she could not even remember ever feeling this content and happy before in her entire life.
