Babes Stripping For Love

The mid-week party was pushed back to the end of the week and Cassidy decided to go when a couple of her girlfriends from her class offered to pick her up and go to Wren’s together.

The TA’s apartment was much bigger than she thought. The party was lively and she was dodging Rowan’s call as she was dancing and laughing with her peers.

Rowan and Cassidy had been in touch throughout the weekdays, he was busy with work but would call her nightly before he went to bed. And obviously, he meant to do so on the night she went to Wren’s party.

“You know your phone keeps on glowing right? Come on, I’ll show you to my room you can answer it there.” Wren offered when he saw it peeking through her jeans pocket, the TA was circling the room, being a good host for his party.

Cassidy sighed and pouted, she didn’t want to talk to her boyfriend, not yet. But in her mind, she knew he wouldn’t stop calling until she picked up. At least she can get it over with and continue to enjoy the party with her friends.

“Okay, lead on,” she grumbled, took out her phone, and followed Wren to one of the rooms at the end of the short hallway. “Thank you, Wren,” she said when they entered the room.

“You owe me one dance,” he smiled warmly, put his hand on her shoulder, and smiled before quickly slipping out of the room, eagerly getting back to his party.

When Cassidy answered her phone, she didn’t realize it was a video call until he told her to back away from her phone.

“Where are you? Why is the music so loud.”

Her eyes were glued to his naked chest, and her mind went blank. Rowan was sitting, resting his back on the headboard and covered waist down by a blanket.

“Cassidy…” he almost growled, when he called her name.

“Yeah, sorry, I’m um… at a party, Wren’s,”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“The TA who kissed you at the restaurant? Are you in his room?” Rowan sounded angry and she was a bit surprised because of it.

“Yes and yes,” she shrugged looking around his room, “he said that I can use his room, my phone had been glowing all night with notifications which apparently were all from you.”

“Well, that’s because you didn’t tell me that you’re going to a party.” Cassidy watched his expression, the man seemed agitated but she was helpless in trying to decipher the older man. She was sure that he told her that he was busy so she didn’t want to bother him and decided to go be young and enjoy the moment with her friends.

“You said you’re busy with work, so here I am.”

“Text me the address, I’m picking you up.”

“Um, why?”

“Because you’re my girlfriend Cassidy. You’re not going to these parties alone.” The man’s temper was escalating and Cassidy was a bit flattered by his possessiveness. No one had ever said that to her before.

“Oh okay, I’ll text you. You can tell me when you’re at the lobby, I’ll come down to you.” She ended the video call with a smile, her blush was nearly non-existent with the dim lighting but she felt it, warm and tingly straight up to her cheeks.

Almost an hour later, Cassidy was dancing and laughing with Wren, still waiting for Rowan’s call when all of the sudden there was a commotion at the door.

“Cass, yo! your dad is here.” One of the guys from her class yelled out her name.

“Babe, her dad had passed away.” The woman latched to his side slapped his chest and shook her head.

“Oh, who’s he? is she a sugar baby now?” the drunken man whispered to his girlfriend not so quietly.

“Huh?” Cassidy didn’t have the time to react properly until he heard him.

“I’m not her dad,” the tension of the familiar manly voice made her curse lowly. She’d seen jealousy among couples enough times that she knew Rowan was not going to be civil. She was flattered but still, she didn’t like to make a scene.

“Fuck, Wren, I got to go.” Wren who was half wasted shook his head, telling her that the best part of the song is coming and she owes him one dance before she leaves.

“You promised one dance before your boyfriend pick you up.” He gave his lazy drunken grin and twirled her seconds before he let out his cringey dance moves, making her laugh at him.

But the moment didn’t last long when Rowan was to her front, immediately cutting her dance with Wren.

“I called, but you didn’t pick up your phone. Come on, you’re coming with me.” He growled in her ear, though it sounded more like a perfect purr since his voice was perfectly low and heavy. The voice that had been filling her nights for the past week since both were too busy to meet.

Wren was about to protest, but he suddenly raised his hands in surrender when Rowan seemed like he was about to fight him for her.

Well, Rowan looked like he was going to fight everyone, and Cassidy didn’t want him to get hurt. Almost all of her college buddies were drunk already and things could get pretty messed up if she didn’t go with him. So she said her goodbyes and told her girlfriends that she was going back with her boyfriend.

Rowan heard her use the word, and it seemed to ease his tension down, but the silence was thick when they got inside his car.

“You’re jealous?” Cassidy decided to ask and see what he had to say for himself.

“Yes,”

“Why?”

“Because you’re mine.”

The possessiveness does something to her insides and she poked further wanting to get to know his mind better.

“But I didn’t even drink,”

“You dance.”

“It’s a party,”

“With Wren,”

“I owe him a dance, I told him you were picking me up, and he asked for one dance. I can’t say no, the guy helped me with my schoolwork.”

“He likes you.”

“Maybe,”

“Will you fuck him?”

The accusation had her blood boiling instantly and she didn’t like it.

“What? No!”

“Good,”

They stopped talking, the eerie silence was making the tension thicker.

“You’re taking me to your place?” Cassidy finally asked when she realized that he was driving them to his house.

“Yep.”

A few more awkward minutes passed before she talked. “Look, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about going to Wren’s. I’m still new to this dating thing.”

“Okay.”

“Were you really mad at me?”

“I’m not mad, I’m… disappointed and upset.”

More silence until they finally arrived at his house. Rowan parked the car in the garage and led her into his house, straight into the living room.

“Okay, how do fix it?”

“Huh?”

“Look, Rowan, I’m new. I don’t know how to do this. If you’re just going to get mad at me I’d prefer that you take me home.”

“Please sit down, I’ll make coffee.”

Cassidy sat on the sofa and waited for him, reaching for her phone and dropping her purse from the coffee table at the same time. Her gasp made him look and he immediately took the condoms from the floor.

“Exactly what are you planning with this many condoms?”

“I… this was…” she blushed, Cassidy shouldn’t blush she was an adult old enough to have sex and use protection.

“If it’s not Wren then who?”

“Wh… what?” Cassidy truly didn’t know what to think, was the guy really think she was going to a party and have a fuck fest?

“Let’s see, you’re going to a party, with condoms in your purse. I think that sums it up don’t you think?”

“Okay, that’s it, I’m going home. Damn you, Rowan! If I wanted them I’d lost my virginity a long time ago! And for your information, I’ve never wanted anyone so much until you! Yes, you! You dumb fool! And now you’re accusing me that I was going to fuck guys at a party? Seriously?!!”

“Cass…”

“No, don’t you fucking stop me! not now.” Cassidy was trembling with anger, she had never had anyone accusing her of being a slut, not even back when she was a stripper. “I’m leaving, you should think about your words. And these condoms were a gift! Dee thought I should be smart enough to have condoms in hand just in case my boyfriend forgets!”

“Here take these!” She threw the condoms to his face and grabbed her purse and started walking to the door. But Rowan was faster and he blocked her from the door.

“I’m sorry. Shit, Cassie, stop… please. It’s Heather. She messed me up. She’d go parties and fucked strangers,” Rowan rambled, seeming defeated, she felt the emotion when he took her into his arms. Cassidy let him hold her, his breathing shuddered, but his hand rubbed her spine tenderly. “I’m sorry that I thought you’d do the same. I just… I care about you, okay.”

Cassidy was mad, but by then she was mad at his ex. She hated how Heather had made him feel, how her affairs had scarred him emotionally without him even noticing it.

“I’m not her, I didn’t even drink alcohol, I was um… you know, just in case. Rowan, look at me…” She moved back a step, cupping his stubbled jaw, liking the roughness and the warmth of his skin. “I like you, and I care about you too.”

Cassidy moved closer and kissed him, he groaned, deepening the kiss in seconds when she opened up to him and mimicked his hold on her and held him tighter.

“And you should know that my friends are calling you my sugar daddy from now on.” She smiled playfully, feeling perfectly content in his arm when she reached out to caress his silvery strands of hair.

“It’s genetics, I’ve been graying since my late twenties. Good for business though, more mature and stuff.”

She wrapped her hands around his shoulder and kiss him again telling him that she missed him.

“Yeah, it’s been a long week.” He said resting his chin on her head, not ready to let her go just yet.
