63. Dare to Dream
Two months later Cassidy still feels like she was in dreamland. She was going to have the best vacation with her brothers in years. Yes, Rowan was gifting them the holiday that they used to have with their parents, away from the city, staying in a house by the lake with the comfort of a small town nearby.
A two weeks stay at a lake house. He was loving her to the fullest as she was head over heels for him.
When the boys mentioned their upcoming school break Cassidy thought of spending the time with her brothers at Rowan’s. Maybe a couple of days at the beach or the mountains just like they used to. They never stay more than three days since her brothers would usually have plans with their friends. There was nothing she could do to persuade them, but then Rowan comes along with the idea of spending holidays at the lake house. His lake house. Yes, he has a beautiful lake house that he rents and which miraculously was empty at the same time as the twins’ school break.
“Two weeks? You’re going to stay with us at your lake house for two weeks? Can you even get that much downtime?” Cassidy was not sure about the length of time, it was a perfect amount of days when they were younger and spending the holidays with their parents. But now? Now, they have friends and a busy schedule. And after months of sleeping in his bed, Cassidy was not sure that she liked the idea of sleeping alone.
“I can, beautiful. I can bring my work, delegate, and set up some video calls while there.” He caressed her cheek and then continue eating his breakfast.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Cassidy had a full day of class afterward, she and Rowan were already dressed for their day. They were having breakfast when he told her about his plan for the twins’ holidays. And she brightened instantly to the thought of having Rowan to herself for two whole weeks, uninterrupted with work. Well, probably for a couple of hours daily. But still, the thought of waking up late in the afternoon with him by her side made Cassidy feel giddy already.
“That’s great! But… I have to tell Dillon first, he might want to spend some of that holiday time with his boyfriend.”
“Invite him to the lake house, there are some great activities for the boys. And it doesn’t hurt for you to get to know his boyfriend doesn’t it?”
Cassidy grinned and told Rowan that he was the best.
“Baby, I know I am.” He teased, then finish his coffee.
That day Cassidy video-called her brothers and told them about Rowan’s plan. As expected Edmond was thrilled, while Dillon was quiet in the background before telling her that he was going to meet up with Jett, his swim captain boyfriend.
“Well, I have expected that and Rowan told me to invite him to the lake house. There’ll be lots of fun activities for you, lots of small restaurants, you can have a nice walk by the lake, and I’m sure there are plenty of picturesque kissing spots.” at the end Cassidy was teasing him with more possibilities and Edmond was fake-gagging while Dillon’s smile grew wider to their upcoming holiday plans.
“You don’t get to break up with Rowan, not until we spend our holiday at his lake house.” That was all Dillon said while Edmond look bored but said that he was liking the plan, saying it has been a while since he paddled board. Cassidy giggled and said she was not planning on letting Rowan go before she ended the video call.
So when the time arrived they were all excited to leave for the lake house, the twins have seen pictures of the house and a list of activities they can do at the lake and in the touristy small town.
“Oh, Mrs. Dawson! I’m so excited that you’re coming with us for this trip!” Cassidy looked too giddy and she released her excitement by thanking Rowan with a wet kiss on his lips making the twins groan from behind them and hurriedly got into the other car and joined Maurice with their bags.
Cassidy was going in Rowan’s car since he decided to take two cars there, that way the boys will be free to do anything they want with their time. Dillon’s boyfriend will be joining them a week later for a full-week stay. Jett’s parents were nice enough once Rowan talk to them and assure them that there will be no wild parties at the lake house and that they were welcome to visit anytime.
The latter made Cassidy raise an eyebrow at her boyfriend, but Rowan just shrugged at her. “Jett is still their teenage son, and Dillon really wanted this vacation time with him.”
At least Jett’s parents had embraced their son’s sexuality and gave the young man some freedom to spend the holidays with his boyfriend.
“His dad feel like an ass when he knew that his son was gay and he was trying to make it up with Jett. They didn’t exactly handle the news well at that time.”
“Oh,”
“Yep, don’t worry, love, everything will be perfect. I promise you.”
So yeah, Cassidy relaxed and let Rowan take the reign and took her little family onto his little lake house. Though when they arrived there was nothing little about the place. Well, they did see photos, though they were never an assurance since photos lie, and angles matter.
“Oh, wow, this house is so big!” Edmond was the first to get out of the car and was hot on his heels racing Dillon onto the porch. Both boys wanted to call dibs on the perfect rooms, although Rowan had said that the guest rooms have the same size and layout and the master bedroom was his and that includes Cassidy by default. Her face flushed adorably hearing his words which only makes him take her hand and kissed the inside of her wrist softly.
“Oh. My. God. you guys are gross! Just open the door and spare us from the sight.” It was Edmond, Dillon was being the perfect young man since he was too happy that he was going to spend the whole next week with his boyfriend.
“You know you have to talk with Dillon before Jett arrive, right?” Rowan said the moment they reach the master bedroom and have their privacy.
“Um, do I? I thought maybe you can do it, I mean it’s the perks of having an older boyfriend right?” She asked sweetly while walking around the room. The master bedroom was large and inviting, Mrs. Dawson had been to the lake house a couple of days earlier to clean the house with a couple of their staff and now the bed looks inviting and the air smells fresh. She even put fresh flowers in the adjoining master bathroom.
“And what exactly does this older boyfriend get out of this arrangement?” He locked the door behind him and walk towards Cassidy in a predatory way that made her bite her lip and her toes curl.
Last week Rowan had been busy trying to finish his work before they all leave for the lake house, and the week before that Cassidy had her period. Since they had just begun to know each other and just gotten comfortable with the intimacy they usually have sex every day or every other day, so when they hadn’t had sex in two weeks their sexual tension was high.
Cassidy knows from past experiences that Rowan will ravage her after days without sex and she would expect that he’d make their first holiday intimacy unforgettable, at least for the next couple of encounters before they topped their experience with other ones.
Months ago she wouldn’t dream to be at this stage of happiness but now being in the arms of the man she loves and spending the holidays with her brothers she couldn’t ask for more.
