Page 14 of Worthy: Cassius and Faith-2

And that wasn’t even the most miraculous part.

The most miraculous part was what I’d done with the billionaire and how he’d made me feel. Never had I ever experienced pleasure like Cassius had given me. I hadn’t even known my body could soar to such heights. In all the books I’d read and movies I’d seen, I thought that the emphasis on sex was overdone. I thought it was exaggerated.

I didn’t feel that way anymore. The sexual pleasure I’d awakened to over the past twenty-four hours had changed my perspective—and that was because of Cassius. Inexperienced though I was, I knew he was the real deal. He was a master sorcerer, conjuring up feelings I didn’t even know I was capable of.

And if those feelings weren’t purely physical? I didn’t want to think about that. Thinking about it would get me nowhere—or worse. I couldn’t afford to become attached to the icy billionaire. It would complicate things and make my time at the club much more difficult.

The truth was, my feelings didn’t matter. The warmth in my chest as I thought about the billionaire, how safe I’d felt in his arms, protected and cherished—that was just smoke and mirrors, tricks I was playing on myself.

Thighs still shaking from my multiple encounters with Cassius, I climbed into the staff elevator. Luckily, our wing was quiet and subdued. I tiptoed past the other girl’s rooms; it seemed everyone was napping. I snuck inside my suite, hoping to find Tate asleep, too. I couldn’t begin to explain where I’d been all afternoon!

Instead, I found Macy and Tate sitting on Tate’s bed, deep in conversation. Macy sprung up as soon as I walked through the door. “Where the hell have you been, Faith?” She put her hands on her hips. “We’ve been dying to talk to you!”

I hugged my friend, and she sniffed me, then gave me a knowing look. “Girl, you smell like sex! Why’re you still wearing that V necklace?”

I stepped back and regarded her. Macy had a look very similar to mine—wild eyes, bedhead, and red cheeks. Her necklace still adorned her throat as well.

I looked at her skeptically. “Why are you still wearingyours?”

“Because Elias hasn’t banged me yet!”She threw up her hands and dropped back onto the edge of Tate’s bed.

“Why not?”I asked.

Tate grinned and winked at me. “Because he wants to make itspecial. No bending our Macy here over a lounge chair and popping her cherry! Oh no, her billionaire wants it to be all moonlight and roses!”

“Stop!”Macy wailed, but she was laughing, too. “That man is fine—but he is making me wait, and it’s killing me. I was ready since last night, but all he’s done is oral-sex me up. And I loved it, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been waiting for dick for averylong time. And I want his. I want itbad.”She fanned herself, and Tate laughed again.

“You unicorn-virgins are socute. Macy’s got so much pent-up sexual energy, she could be a power plant.”Tate nodded at me. “What about you, virgin? Cassius Blackwood hasn’t cashed your V-card yet? I saw how he dragged you away from the pool party—I figured you were done for.”

“I saw it, too!”Macy said. “Why’d he look so pissed? What the heck’s been going on with you?”

I glanced at the clock. “I don’t have much time to talk—I’m meeting him soon.”

Macy snapped her fingers and pointed to my bed. “Sit and spill for five minutes. We need details!”

“Ugh, I don’t know where to start.”I gratefully sank onto my bed, hoping sitting would stop my thighs from shaking. “Cassius called for me last night at the club—that’s why I left you with Elias and Darren at the bar,”I explained to Macy.

She nodded. “I saw Gina come over and swap you out for Mia. She and Darren went platinum. I was glad it wasn’t you—Darren’s a creep. He had his three turns with Mia and then passed her around like a party favor, bragging that he’d had her first.”

I shivered. “Ew. I’m glad I didn’t go with him, either.”

“Not that I don’t care about Mia, but…”Tate swirled her fingers in the air, the universal sign for get moving. “Tell us what happened, please. We’ve been dying to talk to you!”

“Okay.”I took a deep breath. “Gina brought me to a private room where Cassius was waiting. He told me he’d bought my platinum rights and that I was his. And then… Then we did some stuff.”

Both Tate and Macy raised their eyebrows.

“Okay, okay.”I could feel my face reddening. “He did oral sex on me, then I did it on him, and it was—it was incredible. But then… Then he fired me.”

“What?”Macy jumped up again. “I will smack that billionaire down! Tate, give me one of your whips! He’s not getting away with treating my BFF like that!”

“It’s okay,”I assured her. “He backtracked. He told Gina I could stay and get even more money. He offered to pay still and let me collect in full from whoever bought my platinum rights next.”

“Maybe I don’t have to whip him,”Macy said, eyes wide. “Because now we are talking some seriously big bucks.”

I nodded. “Four million dollars.”

Tate whistled. “I’m asking for a raise. I’m the one doing all the heavy lifting! Do you know how many patrons want to get pegged by me? It’s a workout, let me tell you. My hips don’t lie!”
