My Date With Lust

Chapter 10

"Cassidy?" JoAnne nudged her and Cas woke with a start, the indention of her keyboard keys flushed on her face.

Cassidy had never slacked off at work, or slept at her office for that matter, but she had stayed up late talking to Sin on the phone.
When had she turned into a love-struck teenage girl..
Ah yes...right when Sin had his fingers plunged deep inside of her..

God if he could make her feel that good with his fingers she couldn't imagine what having sex with him would be like.

She would need to go to the hospital after.

Cas shook her head to rid herself of the sexual thoughts, and adjusted her blouse and rubbed her eyes.
"Busy night?" JoAnne winked at her cheekily.
Cas blushed remembering what she had just tried to expel.
She quickly shifted in her seat, JoAnne could tell she was prying so she laughed and headed back to her own desk.

Cas hung her head in her hands, rubbing her temples to help her relax. She had been so on edge, getting flustered at every phone ring assuming it was Sin calling her.
After their office fun they decided that they had met each other for lunch so they finished their date with risotto chicken and wine.

She wondered at this point if he was ready for intearegation. Well, that sounded harsh, but she needed to have answers. She turned to her phone typing away her message.

Come to dinner at my apartment around 6:30. I can actually cook a pretty mean pork chop :)

He replied, Sounds divine, should I bring anything?

Just you and that sexy body of yours

When had she become so sassy and forward? New flirty Cas was hot!
She immediately turned to her desk and tried her best for the rest of the day to actually accomplish some work.

This was definitely a strange phenomenon.

Pre-Sin Cassidy would have never slacked off, not even for a family member.
Post-Sin Cassidy realized that every note for appointments she had written had classic little doodle hearts in the corner with Sin's name.

She had become distracted, which was the one thing she swore she wouldn't do.

But part of her at that moment wanted to dash it all to the wind.
This wasn't the end of the world, Cassidy had been fighting so long to stay single and focused.
She just had to find the balance between work and play and it didn't seem too tricky.

Her mother would absolutely squeal with approval if she found out Cas was seeing someone. She practically offered to pay to insemenate Cas to get her grand children coming.
Sure, Cas was twenty-eight, but she didn't think she'd ever find the man who she'd want to actually have kids with.

Just maybe...

Silly Cas, you still need to break his shell. She thought, however, this challenge might be like peeling a rough onion, it would be an endless routine of trying to expose parts of him and she wondered how long that might actually take.
But these were precautions Cas needed to make, she didn't want to dive head-first into this man's quicksand if she was just going to end up choking on the loneliness of a broken heart.
It was worth a shot, however what she potentially could find beneath all the layers could change her entire perception of Sin.
I don't want to hurt you, were the words circling around her head for the rest of the day. As soon as the clock hit five, she lept from her desk in such a flurry you'd think she was on fire.

Anxiousness swept over Cas as she scurried home and started madly cleaning her small apartment-wanting to give the façade that she was some type of clean.
Pickles perched himself over her armoire giving her an ambivalent stare as she prepared the dinner.
