Chapter Two Hundred And Forty–Six: This Is Where I Belong.
The private elevator doors opened directly into the luxurious penthouse. Ray Starling had arranged everything with quiet care. The space was breathtaking. Floor–to–ceiling windows offered a sweeping view of Southvale at night, with the city lights sparkling like stars below. Soft lighting glowed from elegant fixtures, casting a warm, golden hue over the open living area.
A large marble fireplace stood ready, though the evening was mild. Fresh flowers filled crystal vases, and a chilled bottle of non–alcoholic sparkling juice waited on the side table beside a plate of delicate fruits and chocolates.
Dreston stepped inside first, then turned to offer his hand to Cassienne. She took it, her fingers sliding into his with natural ease. The moment the elevator doors closed behind them, the outside world seemed to disappear. It was just the two of them now. Husband and wife. Starting over in a place that
felt like a dream.
Dreston pulled her gently into his arms. “This is our night,” he said softly. “No interruptions. No worries-
Just us.”
Cassienne looked up at him, her blue eyes shining. “I still cannot believe we are here. Married again, truly
married.”
He smiled and brushed a strand of hair from her face. “Believe it. You are my wife, and I am going to spend every moment reminding you how much I love you.”
They moved further into the penthouse. The bedroom was even more stunning. A king–sized bed with crisp white linens dominated the center. The sheets looked impossibly soft. Large windows framed the same glittering view, and a private terrace opened beyond sliding glass doors. The air carried a faint scent of fresh linen and subtle vanilla.
Dreston turned Cassienne toward him. His hands rested lightly on her waist. “You look beautiful tonight,” he said. “But I have been waiting to see you without anything between us.”
He kissed her slowly, his lips warm and patient. Cassienne melted into the kiss, her hands sliding up his chest to rest on his shoulders. The kiss deepened naturally, full of the love they had rediscovered. When they finally pulled apart, both were breathing a little faster.
Dreston reached for the zipper of her dress. He lowered it with care, letting the fabric slide down her body. The dress pooled at her feet. She stood before him in delicate white lace lingerie. Her breasts, fuller now because of the pregnancy, rose and fell with each breath. Her skin had taken on a soft, glowing radiance that made her look even more beautiful.
Dreston stepped back slightly, his eyes moving over her with open admiration. “You are even more beautiful than I remembered,” he said. “Your body is changing, and it is perfect. These breasts…” He reached out and cupped one gently, his thumb brushing over the sensitive nipple. “They are fuller, heavier, and they belong to me.”
Cassienne shivered at his touch. “They are yours,” she whispered.

He leaned down and took one nipple into his mouth, sucking softly at first, then with more pressure. Cassienne moaned, her fingers threading through his hair. He moved to the other breast, giving it the same attention, his tongue circling and flicking until her nipples were tight and sensitive.
“You taste so good,” he murmured against her skin. “I could spend hours just worshipping these.”
He continued lower, kissing a slow path down her stomach. When he reached her panties, he hooked his fingers into the lace and slid them down her legs. The fabric was damp, evidence of how much she wanted him. He helped her step out of them, then guided her to sit on the edge of the bed.
Dreston knelt between her thighs. He looked up at her, his grey eyes dark with desire. “I want to taste you,” he said. “I want to make you feel everything.”
He leaned in and pressed a kiss to her inner thigh, then another, moving closer to her center. When his mouth finally reached her, Cassienne gasped. His tongue moved slowly at first, exploring her folds, tasting her. He found her clit and circled it with gentle pressure, then sucked softly. Cassienne’s hands tightened in his hair as pleasure built inside her.
“Dreston…” she moaned.
He did not stop. His tongue worked with steady rhythm, licking and sucking while his hands held her thighs open. Cassienne’s breathing grew faster. Her hips moved against his mouth, seeking more. He slid two fingers, gently and carefully inside her, curling them gently to find that perfect spot. The combination of his mouth and fingers pushed her closer to the edge.
“You are so wet for me,” he whispered to her. “So ready. Come for me, Cass. Let me feel you.”
She obeyed, as the orgasm hit her hard. Her body tensed, then released in waves of pleasure. She cried out his name, her thighs trembling around him. Dreston stayed with her through every pulse, his mouth and fingers drawing out the pleasure until she was panting and boneless.
He rose slowly, kissing his way back up her body. When he reached her mouth, he kissed her deeply, letting her taste herself on his tongue. Cassienne wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
“I need you inside me,” she whispered.
Dreston stood and quickly removed the rest of his clothes. His body was strong and ready. He moved over her on the bed, positioning himself between her thighs. He entered her slowly, inch by inch, until he was fully inside. They both moaned at the feeling of connection.
“This is where I belong,” he said, his voice low and full of emotion. “Inside you. With you. You are my wife. My forever.”
He began to move, deep and steady thrusts that made Cassienne gasp with every stroke. He kissed her mouth, then moved to her breasts, sucking on her nipples while his hips kept their rhythm. The pleasure built again, slower this time, but even more intense.
“You feel so good,” he groaned. “So tight. So warm. I could stay like this forever.”
Cassienne’s hands roamed his back, her nails lightly scratching as the sensations grew stronger.
