True Love
(Book 4) – Chapter 164

She knew she should move, run away or better yet push him… but her damn legs weren’t obeying her. She simply stood there, allowing Lester to move so close to her that their faces were already only a small breath away from a k**s.

He breathed in deeply, filling himself with Cassiopeia’s scent… he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again.

-I definitely like you… I was just waiting for the moment when you would separate from your father so I could have you all to myself. I hope this doesn’t bother you.

He finishes the last word and then tastes Cassiopeia’s innocent lips… who trembles at the carnal contact of that man. It was her first k**s, a real k**s… that of a grown man. The black-haired girl closed her eyes, letting herself be swept away by the emotions that were beginning to well up inside her.

She slid her hands down Lester’s neck, allowing the man to wrap his arms around her narrow waist. Her body was wrapped around the huge man’s, she thought he kissed so deliciously she didn’t want it to end. Cassiopeia felt him tighten his grip, holding her closer to his body.

All the cold she had felt moments ago was completely gone, he was giving her all the warmth she needed to stop shivering. The bad thing was, she was shivering now, but from the emotions that were growing inside her.

By the time the k**s was slowing down, they both pulled apart a little. Lester rested his forehead against hers and then cupped her cheeks with both hands.

-Why are you doing this? she asked, breathing heavily.

-I told you, I like you.

-Do you always do this with women you like?

-Almost always. He smiles.

-You’re an idiot. She pulls him apart. -Do you do this just to annoy me?

-No! I’m doing it because I like you, you’re a beautiful woman.

-I’m your partner’s daughter, and soon I’ll be the new mistress of everything. -You’re trying to seduce me to keep your business safe? To keep control of everything?

-I think you’re misunderstanding everything.

Cassiopeia takes off Lester’s jacket to throw it in his face… she was furious, she had fallen into that idiot’s stupid game. He just wanted to use her.

-I don’t want you to come near me again. She points her finger at him. -Or I’ll tell my father what your intentions are for his daughter.

-Casiopea, no! -He says to the young woman when he sees her leave the room. -Shit! she exclaims.

She storms out of the room without realising that she was in the middle of all the commotion. A few minutes later her parents intercede.

-And where were you? Antonie asks with a frown.

-In the bathroom.

-Come on, I want you to meet some people.

The night went on as normal, Cassiopeia stayed close to her father. The last thing she wanted was to have to deal with that wretched Lester again. She already knew his intentions, she should have known from the beginning. That’s why she suspected that he was up to no good. Bastard! she thought.

She glanced around, noticing that he was watching her carefully. Couldn’t that idiot disguise it? Cassiopeia rolled her eyes, she didn’t want to see him. Suddenly a commotion arose in the crowd, the chef had brought out a huge cake. The smiling birthday boy approached him, the black-haired girl caught the number of his age and was immediately surprised.

By the gods! He was turning thirty… and she was only eighteen. If her father found out what had happened between the two of them, he would disinherit her and then murder her. Soon everyone began to sing the birthday song and by the time he blew out the candles, a voluptuous blonde with voluptuous breasts was kissing him on the mouth.

Cassiopeia opened her mouth, her eyes must have been playing a joke on him. Lester pulled the tick-like blonde away from him. To look at her, she in turn clenched her jaw, lifted her face and stepped out of the crowd that was beginning to drown her.

-Dad, I want to go home now.

-Daughter, I still want you to meet many important people in the business world. It’s paramount that you get involved in this if you…

-Daddy, please. I’m exhausted. Beg.

-We only brought one car, as your mother and I… -I’ll walk.

-I’ll walk. The house isn’t very far.

-I won’t let you walk, you’re crazy.

-Leave her, Antoni, the house is close. -It’ll be fine. Nothing will happen. His wife tells him.

-Well, then go.

-Apologize to the guests.

She takes the path to the exit, trying to pass unnoticed by the rest of those present. From all but one…

Lanister took off her enormous heels, it was difficult to walk through the streets in those huge shoes. He intended to get home very quickly, crawl into bed and go to sleep. Less than a block away, the young woman heard a voice behind her.

-Why did you leave?

-Lester, why did you follow me?

-Tell me, why did you leave?

-I’m tired. Go back to your party, they must be wondering where you’re supposed to be.

-That party was just an excuse for you to be at it.

-You’re a fraud. Leave me alone, I just want to see you when a meeting is arranged. That’s all!

She’s about to go on her way when a hand stops her…

-That’s it? -What about what happened on the yacht? The k**s…

-That was nothing. So I don’t understand why you’re getting ideas, according to you you go around kissing everyone. Then you have nothing to ask me about it.

-I really like you.

-So does the blonde you kissed earlier. He replies wryly.

-Is that it? You were annoyed by that… that’s why you left. He smiles and ends by holding Cassiopeia’s body against his. -Did it make you jealous?

-Are you crazy? He frowns.

-Maybe for you, yes.

He k****s her again, but this time it was more of a stolen k**s, since Andromeda resisted him. But it didn’t do him much good to do so, because soon the k**s went from stolen to accepted.

The girl m****d against his lips as she felt Lester’s tongue eagerly invade her mouth. He definitely kissed like the gods themselves.

-Casiopea, I’d like you to go out with me.

-Like a date? She says, looking him in the face.

-Yes. -He smiles. -A date, so to speak.

-I can’t, Lester. She answers, looking down. But he takes her chin and makes her look at him.

-Why not?

-Because of my father, because you’re his partner, and because…” she bites her lips. -I think you’re too big for me.

He pulls away from her, sighs and then puts his hands in his pockets… he looks at his shoes while biting his lower l*p.

Cassiopeia watches him nod, feeling her heart shrivel…
