Page 25 of Kane

Cassie just didn’t know if she would ever get used to how sexy Kane was!

‘You’ve got a nice place,’ Cassie said, her voice showing a little hint of nerves. ‘It’s very grown up and mature. Much more than my place anyway!’

Kane stood in the hallway, the polished oak floor underfoot.

‘Well, that’s to be expected. Isn’t it?’ Kane chuckled, turning and continuing to walk towards the open plan living and kitchen area.

The walls were immaculately painted a perfect, bright white.

The occasional piece of art hung with unerring accuracy.

From what Cassie knew of other Daddies, attention to detail and having a set way of liking things at home was very much a Daddy thing.

Kane seemed no different in this regard.

In fact, Kane seemed every inch the Daddy.

Even down to the way he automatically started preparing Cassie a cup of warm coconut milk.

‘Cage told me that you and the other Littles couldn’t get enough of this stuff,’ Kane said, taking great care as he heated up the milk and poured it out into a pale blue mug. ‘Screw it. I’ll have a cup myself. It might make a change from downing another double espresso.’

Cassie giggled.

She felt giddy.

Such was the thrill of being in Kane’s apartment and being treated like a Little, she almost forgot the traumatic circumstances that had brought her to this point.

This was a good thing.

Averygood thing in fact.

Ever since the fire, Cassie’s mind had been going round and round in circles. The subscribers to her comic had all seemed very understanding to her predicament.

There certainly hadn’t been any complaints.

But Cassie also knew that if she wasn’t able to produce content, there was every chance that her growing fanbase would simply move on.

Cassie had seen this happen with other creators who hadn’t been consistent in their output, and she wasn’t arrogant enough to think she would be any different.

Being in Kane’s company, and especially as they were at his home, was certainly helping to divert Cassie’s thoughts.

‘I love how there’s a mix here of old and new,’ Cassie said, looking over towards the corner of Kane’s living area where he worked on his tech and hacking projects. ‘That’s a pretty awesome set-up you’ve got. I’ve never seen so many computer screens in one place!’

Kane smiled as he handed the cup of warm milk to Cassie.

‘Uh huh, thank you,’ Kane said, a smile forming. ‘If you’re good, I’ll let you sit on my big black chair and have a go on the computers yourself. You’d be surprised how easy it is to pick up.’

‘You’re probably a great teacher too,’ Cassie said, realizing that if she wanted some flirtation, it seemed like Kane was very much up for it. ‘I bet you’re quite strict?’

Kane grinned.

The heat between them was rising.

‘I’ve been known to be, yes,’ Kane said. ‘I was so lucky to get this place. It’s rare that these old gothic-style buildings become available. I just had to jump in. I always joke that the combination of the tall ceilings and gothic appearance makes it look like the Bat Cave when you add in the computers and electronics.’

‘It really does!’ Cassie said, giggling. ‘You’d look pretty impressive in a Batman outfit. All strong, serious, and masculine. Sexy and a bit scary. Just like you.’

Cassie blushed.
