Cassandra's Challenge by Michelle Eidem Read Free Book Online

I think she’ll find ways of improving
it, like she did with the lasers.”
    “What’s she say about it?”
    “I brought it to you first Admiral.”
    “Get her in here. Let’s see if she thinks she
can handle it.” The Admiral demands impatiently while inside he’s
glad for a reason to talk to her.
    “She’s not here sir. Amina’s having a sleepover,
Cassandra took Tori to it.”
    “So that’s why you’re still here.” The
Admiral grins, Leander grins back.
    “Five little girls, I think it will be quieter
in a launch port.”
    “You might be right. Bring it up to her, let me
know.” Rising he leaves, disappointed that he won’t see her.
Thinking about Cassandra alone tonight the Admiral walks down the
corridor to find her laughing with Ensign Truple. His face turns to
stone.
    “Ensign Truple! Nothing to do?” His tone is
harsh.
    “Admiral, sir, huh, I’m on my way.” Truple makes
a hasty retreat leaving Cassandra with the Admiral.
    “Cassandra I need to speak with you. My ready
room.” As they walk to the Admiral’s quarter’s neither speaks.
William is wondering how he could become so jealous, so quickly all
because she’s laughing with another man. This woman pulls at him in
a very basic way, stretching his renowned control. Cassandra enters
the room first, moving towards his desk while the Admiral secures
the door.
    “I’m not sure what…” Turning she finds him right
behind her, for a large man he moves quietly. The Admiral puts an
arm around her waist, a hand behind her head and lifts her up for a
passionate kiss.
    Cassandra’s stunned. Will she ever understand
him? With her senses reeling all she can do is grip his powerful
biceps and hang on.
    Walking her backwards, he sits her on his desk
to slip between her thighs pressing his erection against her
stomach. When he changes the angle of the kiss she starts to
understand the passion hidden in him, and finds herself responding.
Hooking her ankles around his thighs she pulls him closer.
    Breaking off the kiss William buries his face in
her neck. He hadn’t meant to move this fast, but seeing her
laughing with Truple made him feel the need to mark his
territory.
    “William….” She groans.
    Going still, he captures her face in his hands.
She’s never said his name before.
    “Again ,” He demands looking her in the
eye. “Say it again !”
    “William….” She whispers gazing up at him with
passion drenched eyes.
    His control snaps, the sound of his name on her
lips has him needing to touch her, all of her, to join with her. He
strips off her shirt as she undoes his jacket. Shrugging it off, he
rips his t-shirt over his head. Pulling her off the desk, his mouth
descends. The feel of skin against skin causes Cassandra’s thighs
to tighten trying to bring him even closer. Never breaking the kiss
William enters his private chambers going directly to his bed.
     
    Cassandra is on fire, she’s never felt like
this. Her entire life her intellect has ruled her actions,
everything thought out, calculated. Her emotions always controlled,
only her family penetrates the barrier she maintains. But here,
with William, her emotions overwhelm her, she can’t control them,
she needs more and William is the only one to give it to her.
     
    Slowly lowering her onto the bed William works
on her pants, slipping them down slim hips that remind him just how
small she is, he needs to regain some control. Breaking off the
kiss he eases back looking at her lying naked on his bed. His
bed ! Running large rough hands up her quivering body he
realizes he’s wanted her since he’d first felt this strong woman’s
tears in his hands. Standing he watches her, as he removes his
remaining clothes.

    Cassandra is in awe that his size and girth
matches the rest of the man. The thought of them together starts a
trembling deep inside. Kneeling on the bed William braces a massive
arm on either side of her head sinking down for another
