Babes Stripping For Love

It was two weeks later when Cassidy meet again with Rowan, unexpectedly. She had just finished having a nice lunch with Wren, yes the nice guy from her class who was helping her with her schoolwork.

Cassidy hadn’t changed her major, and it was slowly drowning her in more work. Though that late afternoon her patience was thinning, and she was getting frustrated by how easily Wren told her to step up her game. Cassidy was not in her best state of mind, she hadn’t been able to concentrate on her school work since she was called by the twins’ headmaster telling her that they were acting up.

The words acting up were too subtle for saying that her little brothers almost burn down their room when they were caught smoking cigarettes and panicked. She had spent two hours trying to convince the headmaster that her little brothers will not repeat the same mistake.

Then she spent the next two days with them after they were sent home with her. Cassidy tried to discipline her little brothers who were still looking at her as their nice older sister. So when Dillon and Edmond finally went back to their dormitory, she was beyond exhausted and mentally drained. Cassidy was tired, she couldn’t let out her frustration by dancing, and on top of all that, she needed to finish her homework that didn’t make any sense to her.

She was on the verge of crying when Wren left telling her that he had somewhere else to be. Her work was far from done and then Edmond texted, telling her that Dillon was caught kissing a boy so she should be ready for another call from the headmaster.

Cassidy was breaking apart when she saw Rowan walk into the little restaurant laughing with a beautiful-looking woman. The silver fox looked stunningly handsome and the woman by his side looked sophisticated with her business suit and stilettos.

The failing med student tried to gather her stuff quickly after paying her bill, she needed to get out of there before Rowan sees her. Before he noticed what a failure she was, but with her luck, he did see her. His eyes stared right at hers and Cassidy was frantically pushing her books into her backpack when he whispered something in the woman’s ear and she smiled sweetly at him before she followed their waiter deeper into the restaurant. Of course, he would have an intimate reservation in the secluded part of the restaurant.

The man was out of her league.

“Cassidy, are you alright?”

There, her full name, not Cassie, just Cassidy. It was as if he was trying to hurt her, intentionally getting back to her for slamming the door in front of his face. Her name slipped out of his perfectly shaped lips, the lips that she had enjoyed kissing and had kissed her back.

“I’m fine, busy week, go… enjoy your date.” She spat in a hurry, she was not proud of the way she handle the confrontation. But then the universe seemed that she needed more embarrassment when Wren was back for his tablet that she didn’t even notice he left behind.

“Forgot my tablet.” He smiled, “I’ll see you tomorrow in class, don’t forget the notes, it should be easy if you put your mind to it.” The young man swiftly kissed her cheek and quickly left, without even noticing Rowan behind him.

There it was another word that should sound encouraging but to her, it sounded that she had been half-assing her study the whole time and failing. And, Rowan was there to watch her fall apart.

“You’re not fine, come on.” Rowan acted on instinct when he grabbed her heavy backpack and took her out of the restaurant and into his car.

“Your date…”

He cursed and pulled out his phone, “Kaitlyn, I had an emergency, put your lunch on the company’s card. We’ll talk tomorrow, I’m taking the rest of the day off cancel my meetings and email me the details.” He ended the call after saying a few more yeses.

“Where… where are we going?” Cassidy hated how her voice trembled when she asked the moment they passed the street to her apartment building.

“My house, I’m not letting you slam the door in front of my face again.” He sternly said as his eyes darted back to the road in front of him.

It was half an hour of dreadful silence that felt more like hours until Rowan finally pulled into the driveway of his house. The house was big, almost as big as her family home. Cassidyy heart was pounding harder when he opened the garage door and she saw three more cars inside.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her mind was wondering if his ex-wife was still living with him. But the thought disappears instantly when she thinks why would it matter, the silver fox was never going to be hers. The man was having a lunch date with a beautiful woman.

Yes, a woman, looking so fine that she barely noticed Cassidy’s jeans-clad legs and a ratty tank top underneath her oversize denim jacket. Her favorite Gucci flats were the only thing fancy she was wearing that day. Cassidy had always been a shoe collector since her mom bought her her first sets of designer flats on her tenth birthday.

“Leave the bag,” Rowan said when he opened the passenger door for her and like a good little girl was to her dad’s best friend she followed the man inside his house.

The place was nice, it looked homey, something she didn’t expect from him. Rowan went to the fridge and made himself a sandwich and told her to sit by the kitchen island.

“I was having lunch with my PA, Kaitlyn, she loved the restaurant. I don’t usually go there with my dates.”

Of course, Cassidy thought. The restaurant would be too shabby for him and his dates. And that concluded why she shouldn’t be thinking about him, out of her league, she thought once again.

While on his mind he was trying to tell Cassidy that he was indeed going to a casual lunch with his PA and that Kaitlyn was trying to cheer him up with the lunch before he continue working trying to forget about the beautiful young woman he shouldn’t even invite back to his home in the first place.

“Speak,” he demanded once again after biting into his sandwich. He had offered to make one, but Cassidy told him that she had eaten, then his blood boil as he took a big bite of his sandwich remembering the young man who kissed her on her cheek. “Did the guy hurt you?” he open the refrigerator door and pulled out two bottled water and put one in front of Cassidy.

“What? Wren? Uh no… he was helping me with my school work. He had another place to be, I was going back home. It’s… it’s been a rough two weeks. The twins have been acting up at school, I’m behind in several of my classes, and I… I’m just tired, being in my apartment, and school, and taking care of my brothers, convincing their headmaster, taking them back and forth from my place and back to their dorm. Then Edmond texted telling me that Dillon was caught kissing a boy.” Cassidy took a deep breath as her body shuddered and she quickly wiped her tear and get up from the kitchen stool trying to control her overwhelmed feelings.

What she didn’t mention was that in between those two weeks her mind kept on going back and forth to the time she slammed the door in front of Rowan’s face. Cassidy hadn’t intended to do that, it was her frustration. She had liked him and she hated that within those two weeks Rowan hadn’t even reached out to her. The date that she thought had meant something for both of them turned out to be a one-sided thing.

Cassidy had liked him, and she hated how easy it was for her to fall back into his arms the second he finishes his sandwich and drink his bottled water. He didn’t say anything about her problems he just kissed her forehead before letting her out of his embrace and putting his hand on the small of her back. “Come, I have something to show you.”

Cassidy followed him as he ushered her to the second floor, then open the door to one of the rooms. “You got me thinking a lot after that night. I want you to have an outlet for your frustration. It’s like going to the gym for some men, right?” He smiled as he caresses her back and slightly nudge her deeper into the room.

The lighting was dimmed, but you couldn’t miss the single dancing pole situated in the middle of the room. The mirrors surrounded the room and Cassidy looked at him and he looked back at her with a great longing on his face.

“I have this installed a couple of days after I got you to quit the club. I was not sure you still wanted me, us, so…”

Cassidy put her finger on his lips then she wrapped her arms around his shoulder and pulled him lower for a kiss. “Thank you, I thought…”

“No more thinking?” he smiled and kiss her back. He pushed her back flat to the pole, raised her hands, and hold her wrists while he dominated the kiss. She was panting, her chest heaved from her ignited passion between them. She arched her back, wanting to feel the warmth of his body.

“How about a private dance?” she offered seductively as she pushed him to sit on the only sofa in the room a few feet away from the pole.

His smile widen and Cassidy’s heavy thoughts and emotions were momentarily gone as she decided that she was taking in the moment between them. The private moment that she thought she had lost.
