Chapter 29: Proposal under pleasure

It was an awkward meal as they were still angry with each other. Nonetheless, Edward kept stealing glances at her; she looked adorable with her curly hair in a ponytail. Cassandra is wearing a cream blouse with a black skirt and knee-high Korean boots.

He also thought she appeared to be in better shape than when he first saw her.

The dark circles were gone, and she didn't appear as haggard, though she still appeared sad. That touched his heartstrings.

He was completely smitten by this woman. And since they were here, away from any distractions, he decided to try to win her over. Oh, he knew it wouldn't be easy, but he only had three days to win her over.

"Cassandra, I just wanted to say how impressive you've done with Akia; it must have been so difficult for you. Was there no one in your life, a man? I seriously can not believe you're alone."

She had no idea what Edward was up to because he was suddenly friendly, smiling, and making small talk. "I was too preoccupied with Akia and work to have fun."

"There had to have been someone," he said, unable to believe that a woman who resembled her had not been out on a date.

"We went out a few times, but they didn't want anything to do with a child, and I couldn't be with a man who couldn't accept my daughter," she explained.

"That's good because you're only mine," Edward said quietly.

Cassandra inquired, "What did you say?"

"Oh, I said that's good. You should marry a man like me," he said, studying her face and noticing the loneliness in her eyes. "Anyway, Akia probably wouldn't have liked them obviously," he said, smiling.

She couldn't help but smile back when she looked up. "Let's not talk about it but you're right, she's a very picky little girl who doesn't take to just anyone," she said solemnly as she looked at Edward. "Except for you and everyone at the mansion, it amazes me how quickly she warmed up to you like she's known you and the others her entire life."

He sat back and snickered, his dimples on display. "Can you blame her? Look at me, I'm so handsome," he jokingly said.

"You are so narcissistic," Cassandra laughed.

But it's true, she thought.

The ice had been broken, he thought as he watched her laugh. "Dance with me," he said, holding out his hand. When she managed to slip her hand into his, he felt a surge of relief.

As Edward led Cassandra onto the dance floor, she felt the heat from his hand on the small of her back. She had ended up missing being in his arms. The feel of his hard body when he held her close made her heart skip a beat.

It was difficult to resist his kisses, his hands so skilled when they roamed over her body, bringing her genuine pleasure.

Edward then pressed his face against Cassandra's hair, inhaling her sweet scent. Moving his hand to the small of her back drew her in closer, and he heard a small sigh escape her lips. When the song ended and she pulled away, he condemned silently to himself.

"It's getting late," she said, looking away, "so I'm going up to my room."

"I'll walk you up," he said, and she took his hand as they walked a couple of miles to their rooms.

He opened the door after taking the key from her and handing it back to her. "I'll see you for breakfast," he said, leaning over and kissing her on the cheek.

She watched as he went to his door, then went inside, undressed, and entered the shower. With her eyes closed, she felt arms go around her waist from behind, then lips on the back of her neck, and one hand inappropriately touched her boobs. When he turned her around, his hand cupped between her legs, she let out a moan.

"Edward, stop it," she moaned, but he silenced her with his lips crashing down on hers. His playful hand rubbed against her, sliding a finger inside her, giving her sensation.

With water pouring down their bodies, he pressed her up against the wall, lifted her leg, and eased his hard pulsating rod into her. She screamed as he filled her, repeatedly slamming it into her.

When he was finished, he turned off the water, lifted her, and carried her to the bed by enclosing her legs around his waist. He moved over her hungrily, his mouth licking and sucking, leaving little bite marks along her belly.

Moving his tongue between her thighs, he licked between her womanly folds, in and out, from side to side. She squirmed frantically beneath him, clutching the sheets in her hands. When she hit its peak, she screamed and grabbed his face, bringing it up to her face.

"I need you, I need to feel you inside me," she pleaded.

"No," he said, smirking.

"F*ck you, please,"

"Unless you tell me you love me too," Edward teased her with as his finger slipped into his p*ssy.

"Ahhh... S-stop... Ahhh," she moans, unable to take it any longer. Cassandra craves him inside her. "Tell me, sweetie," he said quietly.

"Y-Yes, I love you, ahhhh," she hisses, looking away, embarrassed.

"Are you sure?" he asked as he attempted to kiss her and pushed two fingers inside her.

"Ahhhh, yes, yes!"

Edward then smiled at her reaction while inserting three fingers into her.

"Are you going to marry me?"

When Cassandra heard him say that, her eyes widened. "F*ck, what are you doing!?" she exclaimed, unable to contain her pleasure.

"I said will you marry me?" he smirked as he pushed her and pushed his fingers inside her faster and faster.
