Sebastian
It has been three days since I spoke to Cassandra, and I am losing my goddâmned mind. I have tried numerous times to try and connect with her, but there is just nothing. The bond is still there, but for some strange reason, I can't feel her presence with it. I searched through the bond, but it's like she just disappeared completely from the earth realm.
I have searched through other realms, even though I know she wouldn't be there and still came up blank. I am desperate to know if she is okay. The last time I talked to her, she told me she was fine and that someone was coming, and then the connection fizzled away.
I want to go and confront Dante and ask him where the hêll my mate is, but that is not a smart move. That's probably what he wants me to do. I can't fall for his traps. As the heir to the throne, I have to think like a king. I technically already am the King, but since Zender refuses to shift until she is here, I am without a crown.
Sitting on my bed, I decided I was going to try again. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath , then let it out slowly.
"Cassandra? Please, my love, can you hear me? Where are you? It's me, Sebastian. Your mate. Please... just... answer... me."
"..."
"When and if I'm ready to return her, then you may speak with her. Until then, stay the fûck away from her. She's where she needs to be with me."
"Who the fûck are you? Is this Dante? Where's Cassandra? She doesn't belong to you. She belongs to me. She's my mate, not yours. Give her back to me. Wait... H-How are you communicating with me through our bond?"
"Who I am is not your concern. No , I am not Dante. Like I said before, she's where she belongs. She may be your mate now, but she was supposed to be mine first. If I decide to give her back her memory, I will return her if that is what she wishes, but until I do that, she is mine, mine, mine. She has always been connected to me and I to her. I can do many things like break through a bond and communicate if I wish. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a young woman to woo and kiss. Her mouth and taste are absolutely beyond anything I could ever imagine. Bye-bye, demon boy. Don't worry, she has a real man to take care of her."
"Motherfûcker, give her back. NOW."
I screamed furiously, but whoever that was had disconnected the communication through the bond. What did he mean that she was supposed to be his first, and how in the fûck was he connected to her?
Zender was livid, and I could feel him losing control. He wanted to shift and go look for her, but I knew he wouldn't be able to.
I needed to talk to Aunt Grizelda and Lillian. Perhaps they would know who this mysterious man was.

Bennu
"Cassandra, it's time to wake my little one." I said softly as I gently shook her. I knew that my time was running out with her, but I needed to find a way to prolong it. I knew I wasn't supposed to interfere with sacred bonds, but I was lonely, and I couldn't control myself.
For once in my immortal life, I was going to be selfish. Cassandra blinked her eyes open and looked up at me with a warm smile. "Bennu! Good morning! Oh God, did I oversleep and miss breakfast?" She said with embarrassment and began biting her bottom lip.
Fûck! I couldn't stand it any longer. I needed to kiss her lips. I wanted desperately to feel those same lips wrapped around my engorged côck, but then that would make me no better than Dante. Just a kiss. That's all I wanted. At least, that's what I kept telling myself.
"Of course not, little one. I wanted to bring you breakfast in bed. Here, eat the lotus flower cream first." I said softly as I scooped up a healthy serving on a spoon and brought it to her lips. She opened her mouth and waited for the spoon, then closed her mouth over it.
She hummed with contentment, and I watched as her eyes glazed over. "You're such a good girl for me. Finish the bowl of cream like the good little one you are. Today, you will need all of it," I said calmly as I handed her the bowl.
She slurped up the cream obediently and set the bowl down. She had a drop of cream falling down her mouth and went to wipe it away, but I grabbed her hand firmly.
"Let me." I whispered roughly and leaned forward and licked it clean. She gasped sharply and blushed brightly. I groaned loudly and led my tongue to her lips. "Open up for me, love. You promised me you wouldn't resist. You're all mine today. You remember that, don't you?"
She looked at me with confusion but then nodded reluctantly, "I...I... did?" She said hesitantly. "You did. I wouldn't lie to you, would I?" I said softly even though I was lying, and now I felt guilty, but I shook those thoughts away. No! Just one day. That's all I wanted.
"No, I don't think you would." She whispered and gave in immediately. My tongue slipped past her lips and thrust deep inside her mouth. My hand gripped the back of her head and kept her firmly in place.
She kissed back and began moaning in my mouth. I used my other hand to pick her up and place her on my lap. I wanted her to feel just what she did to me.
She gasped, whimpered softly, and began grinding in my lap. "That's my good girl. See what you do to me. I'm so hard for you, little one. Oh God, that feels so good. Yes... take what you need, baby." I growled lowly as I lifted my hips against her.
"Bennu! Oh... I... what's happening?" She panted as she continued grinding her body over my erection. "You're giving yourself pleasure, my love. Let me help you." I whispered reverently.
"Oh god, it feels so good. I... I wish you could touch me." She cried out softly. "Nothing would make me happier, but I can't. I can only help you this way." I began kissing and nipping at her neck as she took what she wanted.
"I'm c-cûmming! Oh God!" She yelped out as her whole body tensed up. "That's it. Such a good girl. Come with me, love." I grunted out. I continued to move her body and grind against me until she fell limp in my arms.
My lap was drenched from both our releases, and I wanted badly to see what we tasted like mixed together. When I looked down, her eyes were hazy and filled with utter contentment.
I put that there. Me. Not Dante. And definitely not her mate, Sebastian. Me. I puffed my chest out with pride. She closed her eyes and sighed happily. "You can't sleep yet. I have so much more planned for us today." I nudged her on the arm.
She smiled and opened her eyes slowly. "Okay, if it's anything like what we just did, then sign me up." I laughed out loud, and my shoulders shook. "Such a naughty little thing, aren't you?" She just smirked and then bit her lip. "Maybe."
"Come on. I want to take you somewhere. We have much to discuss, and once we do, then we can do more of that. I just want today to be special, little one." She clapped her hands with excitement and jumped up out of bed. "There are a change of clothes over there. Get ready and meet me in the dining area." I said, pointing towards the closet.
"Okay. Now shoo, so I can change." I just shook my head and chuckled at her comment. "Okay. Okay. I'm going." I lifted my hands in surrender and walked out of her room, closing the door.
Sorry, demon boy, but I'm not sorry. I deserved happiness even if it wouldn't last.
Today, she's mine.
