ONE NIGHT

The car pulled up and Leo Eros' assistant quickly came out of the driver's seat went to the back door and opened it for Eros, he stepped out and stood tall while Leo went over to the other side and opened the door for Dimitra. Eros waited for her to come to him, then he arched his elbow and she put her hand in. They walked hand in hand to the entrance of the tall building that had about eight-four floors. Two security men opened the door for them and bowed slightly as they walked into the reception.

They were going to meet up with his business partners for a new project that requires a couple to handle. Eros didn't bring women to his business, so he had never thought of settling down, but the project at hand needed a married man or at least a committed man, he would have rejected the offer if it wasn't for the amount involved and the relationship he has with the clients. He didn't have anyone to go with, so he called up Dimitra since she was the only woman, he had close contact with and in a few minutes, she was in his house. Eros has never considered marriage; he has never given it a thought and the thought of pretending to be committed to any woman made his skin crawl. It was infuriating to him how excited Dimitra was all around him, this was going to be his first public appearance with her as a couple and he could barely hold himself from shoving her away from him. The media was going to be filled with those useless dating rumor speculations by tomorrow. Next time Javier sets him up for this kind of thing, he was going to make sure he did it himself.

She was dressed in a lacy black dress that was opened up to the small of her back, her long dark hair was tied up in a ponytail, her makeup was mild but nice and her diamond jewelry glittered in the light. Eros wore a black tailored suit, that showed all his sexiness, and his hair was styled nicely. He really looked like a god that night and he dragged the attention of people, both men, and women alike wherever he went, and Dimitra felt so thrilled to be walking with him. They were led to the elevator by a smart-looking girl in fitted corporate wear and Dimitra glared at her when she flashed Eros a beautiful smile.

Dimitra was standing right next to him, but his mind was somewhere else. His mind was on that dream he had last night. It was so real and thinking of it still sent a kind of rush up his body and he only wished it wasn't all a dream. Why was she in his dreams? Why was he even wasting time thinking of her? But he couldn't just stop thinking about her, especially after that dream. He had tried shoving thoughts of her body to the back of his mind, but the thought still had a way of wandering back and becoming the only thing he was thinking of, and he kept wondering what it would feel like for her hands to run through his bare skin and nearly rouse at the thought of that.

He knew he was lusting after her and nothing more, she had a great body and a pretty face, but it scared him that she was occupying too much of his mind. He has never gone to lengths to get a woman before, they just kept coming, and he had never wanted something so badly like that before, something so close to him, but yet unreachable. He had sworn to bend her to obedience, but she was bending him instead, she was haunting his memory and he was craving her more and more. Maybe he was not punishing her enough to make her do what he wanted her to do. What else could he do?

"Eros? Eros..."

He blinked and refocused on Dimitra who was now standing in front of him, giving him a quizzical look. They arrived at the roof which had a luxury restaurant and the place where the meeting was to be held. The elevator door has opened since but Eros was too lost in his thought about Cassandra that he didn't notice. Dimitra stretched out her hand for him to take, he eyed her outstretched hand and walked out of the elevator ignoring her, and walked down the hallway, leading to the restaurant. Dimitra huffed and followed behind.

"If you keep up with this nonchalant attitude of yours, they will know we aren't real. Did you call me here to humiliate me?"

As much as he hated to admit it, she was right and he was fucked up, felt trapped, and uninterested. He grabbed her hand and dragged her to his side. She smiled and looked at him from under her lashes.

"I know why you are grumpy, daddy. I know you wanted a taste of me, but I offered nothing." Eros huffed, rolled his eyes, and said nothing. Dimitra continued. "I know you like it nice and steady, if you follow my lead, we could go all night, but that's only if you are ready," Dimitra said in a sultry voice.

Eros smirked. "That sounds like a plan."

"Good boy, now, let's go play this shit out, don't take your eyes off me if you want this to be real." Dimitra broke away from Eros' grip and sashayed in front of him, wiggling her hips so that he could see.

Cassandra felt the hands run up to her stomach, caressing her stomach, up to her breasts. She felt goosebumps all over her body and the large hands kept running up her body until they were cupping her breasts. She let out a breathy moan as they fondled her breast, feeling the pleasure shooting through her. Eros' eyes were on her and his hand ran down from her mouth to her chest and grabbed her breast with his large palm.

She couldn't do anything because her hands were tied to the bedpost and even though she tried not to let out those moans, her throat seemed to be working on its own, the sounds escaped her throat as if they were not hers, she was going to give in to him anytime soon, because she could feel her wetness sliding off her, but then she thought of Apollo. She can't let this go on when he was in the same mansion with her, she needed to snap out of whatever spell Eros was holding her with. Then like a miracle, her hands came free and she tried to shove Eros away from her, but he held her hands and she struggled with him.

"Shh, Cassie, be still it me," he whispered.

"Get off me," she tried to say, but it was as if her voice was only in her head. She struggled to say it louder. "Get off me!"

Her eyes flared open and she realized it wasn't a dream, only it wasn't Eros caressing her, it was Apollo, he was on top of her, and her blouse was raised to her chin. Her brows furrowed deeply in confusion.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Cassie, it's the right time to do this," Apollo breathed. "I need you right now."

"Do what? Get off me. Apollo!"

"Why? Because I am not Eros Castillo?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Cassandra was getting confused and wondered if it was still a dream or reality.

"You think I believe what you said about not fucking him yet?"

"Jesus Christ, Apollo, I have not done anything and all this while, you are the reason I keep enduring the pain Eros meted out on me!" She was still trying to push Apollo away but he was strong. He pinned her hands above her head and brought his face closer so that it was just inches away from hers.

"If you have not done anything, then prove it."

"You don't believe me, Apollo?"

"If you want me to do so, just open your damn legs and prove it to me!" Apollo's voice was getting impatient and Cassandra was getting scared.

"Apollo, listen, we have a plan to escape here, please, don't ruin it..."

He landed a heavy slap on her face and she yelped in surprise. "You pathetic liar. You want to change the topic to something else."

Tears stung Cassandra's eyes. "I am not lying and I am not going to let you force yourself on me just to prove shit! Get off me, bastard!" She sobbed.

"Cassie..."

Cassandra shoved him away and quickly grabbed his handgun that he placed on the table beside the bed and aimed it at him. "Remember when you taught me how to shoot a gun? Seems I will be putting that lesson to use tonight, take a step near me, and I will blow your fucking brains off."

"Cassie, I am sorry," Apollo said raising both hands.

"Christ, I can't even believe you. Did you know what I have passed through in the hands of Eros just to keep my purity? You come here accusing me of lying? Dude, I have received a bullet for you!"

"I am sorry."

She pulled down her blouse from her left shoulder to reveal a purple mark just on her shoulder blade. "Did you see this? That night did you know what I thought of? You? I was keeping myself for you. You are my fiance and I can sleep with you if you wanted, but trying to force yourself on me? What makes you different from him?"

"Cassie, I am sorry, I don't know what came over me."

"Get out! Get up and start moving to the toilet."

"What?"

"Move your sorry ass to the toilet. There is no way we are staying in the same room. When Panda was here, he leaves at night."

Apollo stood up slowly, his hands still raised and Cassandra took a few steps back, still aiming the gun at him.

"Now, move it!"

Apollo started towards the toilet and she followed him behind. She was scared that he might turn around and shoot her with that gun hung across his body, but she held her fears and kept her cool until he was at the bathroom door.

"I'm sorry, Cassie, I was just feeling horny," he said as he went in.

"You can wank all you want in there." She grabbed the handle of the door, dragged it forward and shut it in his face, and twisted the lock. She let out a heavy breath, placed her back against the door, and slid down until she was sitting on the floor.

She wished she could do this to Eros Castillo. When will a day like this come when she will have that power over him?
