Unchained Hearts (Baxter Family Saga) (3 page)

She couldn’t lie to him and nodded slowly in agreement.

Emboldened by her subtle ‘yes’, Cass declared, “I want to kiss you so badly right now, but I’m afraid the prying eyes would just bore right through me.”

She laughed. “You felt them too, huh?”

“Yeah, so that will just make it even sweeter when I plant one on you on our next date.”

She smiled at the thought of kissing this man she’d just met a few hours ago.

“You told me you have to work tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow night?”

“Okay,” she said. “I should be off by three, so how about seven?”

“I will pick you up here.”

They said goodnight as Cass watched Virgilia enter the house.

That night, she barely slept. Her body tingled at the very thought of Cass. No other boy had ever made her feel this way. She was no stranger to sex, having lost her virginity out of curiosity at fifteen. The whole ordeal had been clumsy and over before it began. Eventually, she met someone more experienced when she was sixteen and while he’d made her feel things, she still felt like she was missing something. With Cass, there was a connection she couldn’t deny. Her body just called to him. 

Eventually, she was able to get some sleep and woke up in time to get to work. She put on her uniform and helped Milly get ready for the lunch party. The house was buzzing over the return of Newton Baxter. Everyone was happy, except Grayson. He seemed more tolerant than anything else. She’d decided to make sure the settings were ready, when she heard a familiar voice. Quinn was all about delight as she spoke to her brother Newton. When they entered the dining room, Virgilia’s heart stopped as their eyes locked. Her companion from the night before was Newton Baxter, son of Joan and Julian Baxter. He stared at her in her maids outfit and seemed more than a bit surprised. Virgilia’s heart sank. Well, it was fun while it lasted, she thought, as she heard Milly call for her and broke their connection. 

Cass got over his initial shock and smiled as he watched her walk back to the kitchen. Before he could go after her, Quinn was chattering about how her play went and her part. He loved his little sister and had no problem letting her chat away. He would talk to Lila later. 

At about eleven the guests started trickling in. By about eleven-thirty, almost everyone had arrived and things got busy.

Virgilia did her best to keep her eyes and mind on the tasks before her, ignoring the tingle that came from being in the same room as Cass who regularly stared at her, imploring her to meet his eyes. She chastised herself for letting her fantasy take her away from reality. The truth was, the man she had that incredible connection with was a Baxter. He was not just a Baxter, but the heir Baxter. Even though their time together had been wonderful, it was over. She was just the help; that was as much of the cliché as she wanted to entertain.

Cass could tell that Virgilia was tense and saw how she easily avoided his gaze. It drove him mad when she just walked away before he even got close enough to say something. As soon as this party was over, he had to talk to Lila and make her understand that nothing had changed for him. For the rest of the party, he was only half himself. Cass managed to muddle through the conversations about the industry and his goals after graduation, but his mind was on being with her again. At about two-thirty, there were only a few guests lagging and his father was deep in shop talk. He quickly excused himself and looked for Virgilia.

“Milly, where’s Virgilia?”

“What did that girl do, Mr. Newton? I told her—”

“She didn’t do anything, Milly,” Cass said a bit too sharply as he saw the older woman flinch. “I’m sorry. Really, everything is fine. I just really need to talk to her, that’s all.”

“She’s gone. She said she had some studying to do.”

“Thank you.”

Cass found his mother and gave her a quick kiss. Bidding his father a goodbye, he grabbed his keys and ran out of the house. He got in his car and drove to her place. Cass knocked, but there was no answer. A black woman walking slowly by gave him a suspicious look and he waved. She didn’t wave back and never took her eyes off of him. He looked at his watch and thought Virgilia might not have gotten home yet.

Cass sat in his car, and waited. Fifteen minutes later, she walked down the street toward him.

He practically jumped out of the car in front of her, giving her a bit of a start.

“What are you doing here?” Virgilia squealed.

“I’m about three hours early for our date.”

Virgilia sighed. “Look, Cass, I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Even though she said the words, her heart was begging her to take them back, but she had to be realistic. “Look, last night was fun and everything. I just don’t think it’s a good idea that we see each other. This has the potential to be a—”

“Wonderful thing that neither of us expected.” Cass looked into Virgilia’s eyes. He knew what she was saying was true, but for the first time in his life he was feeling something he couldn’t describe. His heart was beating stronger than ever and he didn’t want it to stop. He knew that without his Lila, it would. There was no way he was going to let those words come out of her mouth, much less let this go. “Lila, I like you a lot, and I know you like me. I’m still the same guy you were with last night and you are the same woman who practically jumped in my lap during the movie yesterday.”

“I did not practically jump in your lap,” she denied, falling for his bait.

“Well, I wanted you to.” He teased, giving her a wide grin. “Look, I don’t want to stop this, put this on hold, or end this. You work for my family...so what?”

“So what? You’re a Baxter. You’ll be head of the business one day and that comes with expectations, Cass.” Virgilia looked in his eyes, and saw them shining as brightly as ever. She had to make him understand. “Look, I’ve seen this movie before. Your family won’t approve of you dating the help.”

“I thought the movie we saw yesterday had a big shark in it.”

Virgilia smiled, despite herself. “Cass, I’m serious.”

He stepped closer and pulled her to him. “I can tell, and I don’t care what my family thinks,” he said. He knew she was about to say something else and sighed. “Look, Lila, I can’t explain it. I just know that if I don’t explore these feelings I have for you, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. I don’t want to live like that and I know you don’t either, do you?”

Virgilia bit her lip and shook her head. She wanted to be with him, but her mind warned her it could end badly, even worse than she thought, but that voice wasn’t as strong as it once was. She closed her eyes and decided to throw it aside; this man, Cass, whom she’d just met was worth the risk. 

“Okay,” she said.

His eyes lit up. “I just have one question...do you have that maid outfit with you?” He gave her that mischievous grin. “We have about three hours to kill and I think it could come in handy.”

Feeling bolder than she ever knew possible, Virgilia smiled. “I can think of a few things we could do to kill the time. Follow me.”

She led him into the house. Just as she dropped her bag, she could feel his hand on her waist and his lips on her neck.

“I told you last night that I was going to make it up to you, not being able to kiss you.”

She turned in his arms and he pressed her body tightly to his. Cass had never wanted a woman more. Her hips fit against his groin perfectly. Virgilia looked deep into his darkening green eyes as his lips grazed hers. At first it was gentle, then the kiss grew deeper, drawing her tongue into his mouth. She tasted so sweet and he could feel his dick swell in his pants. 

Virgilia enjoyed Cass’ raw desire for her. She could feel his growing hardness press against her and it made her feel both powerful and vulnerable at the same time. She gently led him back, pushing him onto the couch, straddling him once he sat down. Hiking up her skirt, her body immediately opened up to him. 

Cass opened her shirt, unhooking her bra at the front. Her breasts were so full and inviting. He massaged them and felt her back arch. A soft moan slipped through her lips as both her bra and shirt were quickly discarded. “I want to taste you so much.” Gently pulling her closer, he caught one and swirled his tongue around the dark berry nipple. “God, you’re sweet.” Caressing her back, he suckled the tender tip, then moved his head to give the other equal attention. Cass licked her breasts and her body arch to him, giving him all the access he could have wanted. Virgilia had never experienced such pleasure. Her skin tingled as she weaved her hands through his thick hair. Cass had one hand on her back and the other under her skirt, making its way to her bottom. She found herself holding on to him more closely, wanting to feel more of his naked skin.

Virgilia’s moans were becoming more desperate as Cass intensified his efforts, letting his tongue graze and play. His Lila was a woman possessed. “Oh, Cass.” Virgilia delighted in the delicious wetness between her legs as he continued devouring her nipples. She never knew it could be like this and didn’t want it to end. He gently trailed his kisses from her breast, to her neck and finally to her slightly parted lips. The minute her tongue caressed his, he grew even harder. Virgilia’s hands held his cheek as she deepened her kisses. Cass delighted in her passion and decided to light the fuse. As she kissed him, his hands found their way inside her panties and slowly caressed her warm, wet vagina.

With a sharp breath, she called out, “God, Cass.”

She was more than ready.

His hand pushed the crotch of her panties aside. Cass heard her whimper with delight as his fingers slowly caressed her womanhood. Virgilia inhaled sharply, raising her chest slowly, bracing herself using the back of the couch and the arm. Cass gave her vagina sweet attention as his fingers played with that little rough spot inside her. He watched his beautiful Lila respond with delicious moans, her body undulating, her head thrown back.

Virgilia was ready to burst. Her body had never been so ripe, so vulnerable, and with Cass’ deep touches she couldn’t fight the waves of ecstasy rising to the surface. Cass reveled in the pleasure he was giving her and had to fight the urge to cum from sheer anticipation. He wanted her to feel even more. Gently, he curled his finger and saw her eyes fly open with her mouth agape. When he did it again it was more than enough to send her over the edge. Virgilia’s body shook uncontrollably as Cass held her close and whispered to her, “My, Lila, that was just the beginning.”

As she recovered, Cass gently moved her to the side, kissing her as he slipped off her skirt and panties. He got up and made quick work of his own clothes and rejoined her, slipping something flat under one of the cushions.

In her haze, Virgilia felt his kisses on her neck, her cheek, and then her lips. After what she had just experienced, she knew she wanted more. She pressed her body against his as close as she could get it.

As her naked skin slid against his, Cass murmured. “You’re so soft, so delicious.”

“Come inside me, I need you,” Virgilia whispered and at her urging, he reached under the cushions and pulled out the condom. While he kissed her, he unwrapped it, put it on, and gently moved her to her back. Leaning down, he nibbled her neck and rubbed the tip of his dick up and down her vagina. Cass found her lips and kissed her deeply. Reaching between them, Virgilia’s fingers found him and gently squeezed, guiding Cass inside of her.

Cass got harder as he slowly glided into her wet sheath. She was so sweet and tight as he gently pulled out and thrust back in. He heard her gasp when she met his eyes. He looked for any signs of pain, and only found fire, her hips bucking against his.

Cass closed his eyes, enjoying the way her sweet sex gripped him. With each thrust, she held him even tighter, milking him. “God, you feel so good, Lila. I never thought...oh!”

She found his mouth and made his tongue hers. “Don’t hold back, Cass,” she murmured.
 
“I want all of you.”

With that little encouragement, his motions became deeper and more powerful. He was hilt deep with each thrust, and Virgilia’s body celebrated every stroke. His pace quickened and she could hear his breaths become shorter. Cass lost himself in her body and his heart soared. To feel this kind of pleasure and peace in this woman he just met, he couldn’t believe his luck. With every stroke he knew he would love her, his Lila, for the rest of his life. Hearing her moans and feeling her body give in to ecstasy made delicious fire gather deep within him and boil upward with a force that took Cass’ breath away. He was stunned at how powerful his orgasm had been; it had never been so intense before. He looked at the beauty beneath him. She was slowly recovering from her own pleasure. “You are so perfect,” he said, raining kisses on her face.

“My Lila,” he panted. “My beautiful Lila. This is far from over.”

Cass quickly removed the condom and disposed of it in the little bin next to the couch. He realized he was still partly hard. My God, he thought. The effect this woman had on him. He’d never wanted any woman as much as he wanted her and the thought made him smile.

“Why the grin, Cass Baxter?” Virgilia asked, caressing his chest.

“After love making like that...” He chuckled. “I’m going to be smiling for quite a while.”

Virgilia sighed and Cass loved the sound of her satisfaction. He looked at her glowing skin, her luscious breasts, her round hips and just enjoyed how their bodies molded together so perfectly.

“Just so you know, I have more condoms, when we’re ready,” Cass assured her.

Virgilia giggled. “Oh, really? How many, exactly?”

“An endless supply.” He gave her a wicked grin and a quick kiss.

“Well, we don’t really need them. I’ve been on the pill for a while now.”

“Baby, are you sure?” Cass asked, feeling himself swallow hard as her hands made their way between his legs.

Virgilia nodded, grabbed his manhood gently and rubbed it up and down her vagina. 

As he gently entered her, Cass’ body shivered and realized this was a first. He’d never failed to use a condom with any woman. The last thing he wanted was an accident, but with Virgilia, it was different. The feel of her slick cream enveloping him was exquisite and made him feel even closer to her in a way he had barely even dreamed was possible. He remained inside her, refusing to part with her while they kissed deeply. She was a part of him and he enjoyed the tingling sensation in his toes and fingers. The kisses got him ready for the next round and this time he was in for a surprise.

Virgilia clung to him in total abandon, her body already reaching for him again as they kissed. The fact that he was still inside her made her feel all the more hungry for him. “Cass, I never knew it could be like this.”

“Neither did I.” He kissed her neck. “It’s like we were made for each other. Making love to you is like coming home.”

Virgilia let her fingers caress his back and she could feel his hard muscles flex and tense.
