"His dad left them because he was not ready for a child. His mother brought him up. That's why he offered her his family. He is one of those people who know how important family is, no matter how small or unconventional."
"He's a sweet guy," she said with a small smile.
"Ah, how I wish you could meet my parents, too. Stephen just got a breakthrough!" Cage sulked. His fingers caressed her cheek. "I'll make it happen," he said softly. Katherine didn't doubt he would make it happen. She just needed to be prepared for it.
He leaned forward to kiss her. It felt like forever since they had actually kissed. Their tongues danced and Katherine m.o.a.ned, making Cage want to do dirty things to her. She moved over him, straddling him in the small space. Cage moved up so that she was pressed against his groin.
Cage's hand slipped under her shirt and he caressed her stomach.
'Touch me,' she sighed in her head. She ground herself against him. She couldn't help it. And she knew that he was the same. They were just an hour away from being stripped from clothing and all over each other.
Cage suddenly regained his composure and gripped her h.i.p.s, stopping her. The resulting kiss was softer and more romantic. She sighed and tried to wriggle closer to him but he stopped her and pulled away. He had the audacity to laugh when he saw the petulant look on her face.
"Don't pout. You know I want to take you right here but the others will come back soon."
"So?" she challenged.
"First of all, I don't like starting what I can't finish," Cage said with a raised eyebrow. "Also, I don't want anyone else to see any part of you. Only for my eyes."
This time, it was Katherine's turn to laugh. She rolled her eyes. "Caveman," she commented, flicking her hand on his nose. But she got his point. "I don't want others to see little Cage, either."
She didn't want to admit that she liked how possessive he was. She smiled.
"I'm just glad that you're also dying to jump me," Cage snickered.
"You need a change of scenery. Otherwise, I would have let the others go to the cabin and kept you all to myself."
Cage felt so lucky at that moment. He had fallen in love with the sweetest woman in the world. For a second, he was flabbergasted. 'How is she mine?'
Cage attacked her, his lips hard on hers and his hand grabbing her ass and pulling her onto him again. Her hands circled his neck and tried to get him closer.
"Shouldn't have left these teenagers alone," Katherine heard Lily comment. She wanted to curse.
She loved Lily, but this woman had single-handedly c.o.c.kblocked her multiple times. Katherine needed to have a stern conversation about the matter with her friend immediately. She wouldn't condone this further.
"We got alcohol," Jared commented, raising a bag of bottles. Cage nodded with approval and quickly shifted away, holding Katherine up and placing her beside him. Just half an hour before they got to the cabin. They could make it.
"I'm going to warn you guys before. Angelina and Stephen are going to be explosive for the next few hours. We will need the booze to ignore them," Lily said with a sigh.
In the distance, Angelina was stomping towards the car and Stephen was following with a couple of bags in her hand. If she didn't carry some on his behalf, something must have pissed her off.
'I knew she was too happy for a bit,' Katherine thought sadly. Angelina was known to self-destruct and push people away when she saw that they wanted to be close to her.
"It was nothing!" they heard Stephen say.
"I can't believe you were with her!" Angelina screamed.
Katherine startled and looked at Lily with panic-filled eyes. Angelina was jealous. How was that even possible?
Cage was just as clueless, shaking his head when Katherine threw him a questioning look.
"She's a whore and that is why I am mad!" Angelina told Stephen. Stephen put the groceries in the car just as Angelina tossed a magazine at Cage and Katherine. Katherine caught it without a problem and looked at the cover. "He was with her!" she said, looking like she was about to murder someone.
This was a model Katherine knew. She had tried several ways of sneaking into shows and taken Angelina's spots. It could be said that this woman was an enemy. A formidable opponent to have.
"Um..." Katherine started, not knowing what to say. Lily played dead and Jared was simply pretending that he was not there. Even Cage didn't help her.
"Look at her. You know how many surgeries she has gone through. Everything about her is fake. Her b.o.o.b.s, her face, her butt! And this guy slept with her..." Angelina laughed, showing barely restrained anger.
Katherine knew how Angelina felt about this woman. She was beyond intimidated by her in regards to her career, now she also had to worry about this girl in her personal life. Katherine could somewhat understand.
"You don't need to think about her. It was years ago and just for one night," Stephen said quickly.
Cage hissed from the side, alerting Stephen to shut up.
"If I had known you then, I wouldn't even have looked her way. Scout's honor!" Stephen held up his hands in surrender.
"You were never a scout. And you have low standards. What does that make me?" Angelina told him. There was silence.
"Don't let that stuff upset you. I was with her once, but I am with you now. You're real and beautiful. You're the only woman I want."
Katherine turned to Cage with a perplexed look. 'What?' she mouthed.
'Script,' he replied, making sure no one else saw.
"Okay, you two!" Lily clapped loudly. "It's settled. Stephen likes Angelina the best. Now kiss and make up!" she said with a broad smile. Angelina threw her a glare but Lily simply laughed. "Seriously, you can't be mad about something he did before he met you. That's unfair."
