Page 14 of His Aries Heiress (BLP Signs of Love #21)

Never in her life had she been thrown an opportunity like this, and she knew another one wouldn’t fall into her lap.

The idea of a lot of money and building a legacy tugged at her.

The thrill of it all excited her. She hadn’t had anything exciting happen to her in a very long time, and her impulsion urged her to hold her hand out and grab onto it.

The thing about her impulsive behavior was it rarely ever steered her wrong.

She had great discernment, and as she looked at Marcellus for a bit of comfort, she knew she was spot on with this. Something in her spirit told her so.

He smiled and nodded at her before he gave her a slight wink. She turned back to everyone else and said, “Ask away.”

“I can’t believe that went so well,” Cassydie gushed for the hundredth time. The meeting had gone a lot better than she expected. She somehow felt like she belonged.

King Ro let her know that she could officially start training under Marcellus but that her seat with the council was still pending.

It was the absolute best-case scenario. The worst case would have been them killing her and proceeding with business as usual.

That low-key had been her fear walking in there.

What was stopping them from doing so? They didn’t know her.

But like Marcellus said, they took their rules really seriously.

They were back at Marcellus’s house and five shots in each.

What started out as a celebratory dinner after a successful meeting quickly turned into a drinking session.

Cassydie hadn’t had one of these since Cierra was alive.

That thought made her sad as she drank straight from the expensive bottle of tequila.

“Aye, where’d you go just now?” Marcellus finally asked.

They sat on the living room floor with snacks and to-go containers strewn about. Her feet had somehow found their way into his lap, and he rubbed them gently as she tilted her head back and looked at the ceiling.

A tear slipped out of her eye. “I miss them so much.”

Marcellus was quiet for a moment. “I miss Grim too. Shit ain’t easy.”

She shook her head. “It’s not, but you know what’s made it better?”

“What’s that?” he asked, taking a sip of his dark liquor.

Her head popped up from where it rested on the couch. “You.”

She stared directly at him and hoped he understood that she meant every word. He smirked. She could tell he felt loose too. Good. He deserved a night to let loose, and why not do it on a night Tato was with Ronny?

“Come here.” It was a demand, and Cassydie didn’t mind obeying it. She scooted over to him and wasn’t surprised at all when he tugged on her leg so she would straddle him.

He kissed her tenderly, and she moaned. Two fire signs coming together was bound to be explosive. Heat spread through her body and ignited something infinite within her. Cassydie was definitely trying to see what would happen when they came together as one.

Their hands and tongues explored each other, and just like the past few weeks of her life, everything happened so fast. She felt like she blinked and they were both naked. He rubbed his dick up and down her slippery opening, and she clawed at his tatted forearms.

“Shit.” She hissed when he finally slid into her. It had been a long time since she had sex, so the feeling felt foreign but so damn good.

“You so wet for me, ma.” He clenched his jaw as he tried to work himself all the way inside her. “You been keepin’ this good pussy from me?”

She couldn’t respond. Her mind spun as she basked in every feeling he gave her. For the past few weeks, she’d wanted to feel this man in this way. The reality of it was better than she ever could have dreamed up. And trust, she had many dreams.

Heat spread through her body as she surrendered to him completely. At that point, Marcellus could drain her completely, and she would love him for it.

Love.

All the love she had ever known had been ripped from her weeks ago. Now, she felt the familiar feeling swarm her and wrap her up in its sweet embrace, and it was all because of Marcellus. A tear slid down her cheek, but Marcellus was there to kiss it away.

“Marcellus,” she murmured as she matched his strokes.

“I got you, baby,” he whispered as he left sweet kisses all over her face.

It didn’t take her much longer to release her essence on him.

He followed quickly after that. She wanted to curse him out for not pulling out, but she couldn’t muster up the strength after such a beautiful experience.

She’d never made love like that before, and she knew immediately that she was hooked.

Marcellus lay beside her on the soft carpet and pulled her close.

“What are you doing to me?” he uttered. She didn’t even think he meant to say it out loud, but she snuggled into him anyway and responded.

“Same thing you’re doing to me, love. Same damn thing you’re doing to me.”

They stayed wrapped in each other’s arms for a long while before they eventually drifted off into a deep sleep.
