A Graduation Gift

"I won't cook for you anymore!"

Cassandra pouted. Rufus was being critical about the dishes she prepared. It made her feel irritated and unappreciated. She'd rather stop cooking for him.

Cassandra threw the chopsticks onto the dining table, adding more of a dramatic effect and then stormed off. She went to the study to work on her design. The last thing she felt like was talking to Rufus.

Rufus couldn't help smiling seeing her angry. Cassandra was beautiful, but when angry she was exquisite. His little woman was so dramatically cute. He thought so while staring at her leaving.

Since she didn't eat much for dinner, Rufus warmed a cup of milk then walked over to the study to put the cup on her desk. Sitting down opposite her, he stared at the little woman intently.

Cassandra ignored him, playing she was still angry. She let him do whatever he wanted, while still focusing on the design.

Rufus kept staring at her, becoming passionately aroused. He began distracting her, as she felt his desire in his eyes warm her. She couldn't concentrate any longer.

"What do you want now?" she exclaimed, knowing full well the answer.

She closed the notebook and looked at him. He had fixated his eyes on her, as though she was some exotic, rare creature. Cassandra couldn't withstand his gaze any longer.

"You."

Rufus gave her a simple reply in a flirting tone, as he smiled slyly.

Cassandra's face turned red, at the thought of his intentions in his eyes. He loved playing these games with her. Teasing her as his eyes roamed all over her body, and causing her to feel his emotions coming through.

Rufus came over to her and hugged her in his arm, kissing her passionately for a long time, as his hands stroked her body gently.

A smile ventured around the corners of his mouth, as dark arousal framed his passion filled eyes. He scooped her up and took her to the bed. Their night had just began.
