Starr's POV
I made my out of the elevator, walking down the hall to see a few people sitting outside of my office. I looked over to the reception desk to find it empty as I made my way to my office wondering if she was here.
I opened my door, stepping in spotting her near the file cabinet as I closed the door.
"Good morning Cassidy,"
"Ms. Webster," she replied smiling as I moved over to my desk.
"Are all of them for me?" I asked referring to the people outside as she moved over to the door grabbing a small stool.
"No some of them are for Alec, he is still on his assistant search," she said and I smiled, my gaze following her as she moved around the office gracefully, before climbing on top of the stool.
"What are you doing?" I asked alarmed.
"I'm looking for the Prons file," she replied as I moved over to her. I held onto the stool in fear of her falling, it hadn't been a secret that I was attracted to both men and women even though some people choose to ignore it.
I have always been able to separate my personal life from my professional but with Cassidy, those lines seemed to be blurred and the worst part was she was straight.
"I found it," she said and I moved back allowing her to step down, she turned facing me her light brown eyes locking with mine.
"Why do you need it?"
"I don't Alec does," she replied and I rolled my eyes.
"He needs to find his ass an assistant and stop using mine," I mumbled irritated and she laughed.
"I'm not complaining," she said amused.
"But I am, I don't like sharing," I said and she smiled walking out of my office.

Three days later
I took a sip of my whiskey, something I became addicted to because of my brother Dylan, I looked up at my screen as I continued to type. My mind steered away from my work going to Cassidy, her brown curls, her smile-
"Starr," I heard her call out and I looked up meeting her gaze as she walked towards me.
"We're ready, you coming?" She asked
"Ahh, yeah hold on," I said turning off my laptop. I have never truly been one to hide my feelings but the fear of losing her was greater than having her for myself.
"I see you've already started," she said smiling looking at my glass of whiskey.
"Yeah," I said laughing slightly grabbing my jacket, she moved closer to my desk grabbing my glass finishing my drink, the small action intimate to my longing mind.
"Come on," she said holding out her hand and I took it letting her lead the way.
"You seem happy today," I pointed out and she laughed pulling me out the door towards the elevator.
"You should be too, I mean you just secured the deal of a lifetime," she said as we stepped in, I looked down at her 5'3 figure my 5'5 height making her tilt her head slightly.
"I am," I smiled sleepily and she leaned into me as the elevator descended.
"Is it because we're going to a club?" She asked knowing it wasn't my usual scene, I didn't really like noise and my introverted self preferred to be away from people I had no connection or relationship with.
"Partly but you promised me a good time," I replied and she smiled pulling away from me as the doors opened and we stepped out.
"And you will have a good time," she said holding my hand as we said our goodbyes to the security guard Jeff. We walked down the street to the club that I had opened two weeks ago to find it packed.
I walked to the front of the line with Cassidy beside me, making small comments about how much of a good job I've been doing and how much she loved the club.
The bouncer immediately saw me and let us through and I nodded walking in, leading us to my private area upstairs on the balcony, which overlooked the party below.
The area was already filled with some of my employees, none of which I was actually well acquainted with. Cassidy pulled us to a seat and I sat down beside her pushing my black shoulder-length hair away from my face as they all gave their congratulations leaving me to reply with small thank yous.
"You're going to have fun tonight," she said handing me a shot, I sighed downing it and she smiled taking the empty glass as I enjoyed the burning sensation. She turned engaging in conversation which I didn't really bother with, her hand still holding mine as she spoke.
My gaze stayed on our intertwined hands, unspoken emotions floating in the air as I squeezed her hand gently leaning back getting comfortable, knowing I would be here for some time since I didn't plan on leaving until she did.
She turned to look at me smiling, the longing I've grown used to present as I returned the gesture.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine why?" I asked
"You seem more uninterested than usual," she replied smiling and I laughed glancing down at the party below us before my gaze landed on one of my employees Josh, Jake something walking over to us.
"Do you want to dance?" He asked Cassidy and she shook her head saying no.
"I'm fine Justin," she replied, well at least I was close I said mentally after hearing his name, I was really bad with names and that was something Cassidy would strongly agree with if you asked for her thoughts on the matter.
"It would only be for a song," he pushed and I could feel her growing uneasy beside me.
"She said no," I told him and he looked over to me.
"I was jus-"
"Just go back to your seat," I said and he did so as I sat there now irritated.
"Thank you," she said and I nodded knowing that she hated saying no, I became the person to say it for her since the day we met three years ago which-
"Come here," she said getting up pulling me to stand, I groaned following her as she led me to my office in the back where I saw a cake, I smiled looking at the bad icing job amusement filling me as she closed the door.
"You know I don't have the greatest penmanship," she reminded moving beside me.
"No, this is beautiful," I lied and she slapped my arm.
"I know you're lying,"
"Did you make this?" I asked knowing she wasn't good at baking and she rolled her eyes.
"Yes, but trust me it's good, I've gotten better," she said and I laughed.
"I'm guessing this is supposed to say congratulations on the deal," I pointed looking at the crappy writing and she laughed slightly cutting into it, she broke a piece of the slice she had cut moving it towards me.
A small rush of nerves filled me as I opened my mouth taking it in, my lips brushing against her fingers softly her eyes sparkling with happiness as I chewed.
"Okay it's good," I said
"I don't believe you," she said trying a piece for herself.
"Are you sure you made this?" I asked amused and she rolled her eyes playfully. She handed me a glass of champagne taking one for herself.
"To you," she said and I smiled
"And your cake," I added and she laughed as our glasses touched, she quickly downed her glass urging me to do the same, I laughed finishing it.
"We have liquor and chips, I had a feeling you wouldn't enjoy yourself with everyone around," she said sitting on the desk facing me and I smiled as she moved her hands to my shoulders her eyes meeting mine.
"Thank you,"
"For what?" I asked and she smiled shyly.
"For always being there for me," she whispered as her hands moved around my neck pulling me into a hug, my hands securing themselves around her waist as I stood between her legs. Her sweet smell embracing me as I enjoyed the feeling of having her this close.
"I Love you," she whispered suddenly after moments of silence and it pained me because even though I wanted to hear those three words, I knew she didn't love me the same way I loved her. She pulled away slightly looking at me, her eyes almost telling me different.
I brushed it off as an illusion of the alcohol, her lips pouted slightly and my gaze followed the small action before returning to her eyes, something clicked as tension began growing between us.
Fuck it
I began willing myself to go for it, leaning forward wanting to see if she would back away, but she didn't her eyes staying with mine. She swayed into me slightly and I closed the distance us kissing her, all the things I felt for exploding the moment our lips touched.

Cassidy's POV
My body reacted to hers, as she kissed me with enough passion for me to pass out. I moaned as her hands tightened on my waist pulling me closer to her body, the feeling of her lips against mine better than anything I had imagined throughout the years I had spent suppressing my feelings for her.
I never would have thought in a million years that she would've felt the same, wait does she?
"Starr," I moaned out and she hummed in response as her hands slipped under my shirt running against my burning skin.
"Do you feel the same?" I asked into the kiss and she pulled away, my eyes opening to meet hers.
"Of course I feel the same," she whispered breathless warming my heart. I smiled leaning in once more to kiss her but it was cut short as a knock sounded on the door, she pulled away looking at it before her gaze moved back to me.
"Go," I urged needing a second.

Starr's POV
I walked over to the door pushing my hair back, frustration, and irritation building in me as I pulled it open to see Alec standing there.
"What do you want?" I asked and he chuckled.
"I can't come to see my best friend/business partner?" He asked amused looking into the room.
"Hey Cassi," he greeted and I heard her respond.
"I'm going to be downstairs and I want you to come down and have fun," he said before walking away, I closed the door moving over to her and she sent me a shy smile.
"So you've felt the same this entire time," I said more to myself and she nodded.
"Yeah, but I didn't want to tell you and you didn't feel the same, cause I don't want to ruin our friendship you-"
"I want to be with you," I confessed stepping in between her legs.
"I want to be with you too, but, I've never been with a girl before" She replied shyly and I smiled
"I'll teach you," I said biting her bottom lip, relief flowing through me.
"You can go down if you want," I added and her eyes went wide, I stood there confused before replaying my sentence.
"I mean downstairs you can go downstairs," I said laughing and she joined in resting her head against my shoulder.
"I'm fine," she replied wrapping her hands around my waist.

Two months later
Starr's POV
It had been two months since I confessed my feelings for Cassidy and things were less weird than I expected since we were always 'close' for just friends.
I had to admit that I've gotten really touchy but she wasn't complaining, so I didn't see myself stopping any time soon. I buzzed for her and seconds later she opened the door stepping in before closing it behind her.
"This better be work-related," she said amused as she walked over to me, I smiled thinking back to the times I buzzed simply because I wanted her lips against mine.
"It is," I said and she smiled standing in front of my desk. I began explaining the idea I had in mind and she stood there listening. Even though we had been officially together for two months, no one knew not even Alec and he was basically like a big brother to me.
She wasn't ready and I understood that, I mean it wouldn't just be her announcing a new relationship, it would also be her letting everyone know that she liked the same sex and the person she decided to be with was her boss. So believe me when I said I was okay with her taking her time.
"I can probably get Mr. Davis to invest," she said and I nodded
"Your father called by the way something about a family dinner," she said cautiously knowing our relationship wasn't the best and I sighed frustrated.
"Tell my mother to call me, and send me the list for the event at the club tonight, " I said and she looked down at her phone scrolling, I sat there appreciating her and before I knew it I was on my feet walking towards her.
I moved behind her wrapping my hands around her waist, just loving how at peace I felt in her presence.
"Work-related," she mumbled distracted by whatever she currently doing on her phone.
"This is work-related," I whispered kissing her neck and she pressed back against me, her body relaxing.
"At least let me finish what I'm doing," she breathed out as my hand slipped into her shirt, and I smiled feeling her restraint slipping away.
"Do it later," I said using my other hand to take the phone from her, putting it in my pocket and she turned in my arms immediately placing her lips on mine, I pushed her back against the desk lifting her to sit on it as my hand went under her shirt once more kneading her breast.
I felt her nipple harden against my palm and my clit jumped with desire.
The door opened and I pulled away quickly as I heard it close.
Shit
I licked my bottom lip turning to see my father.
Fuck
"Do you mind giving us a minute?" I asked turning back to Cassi, she looked at me hesitantly and I knew she didn't want to.
"Please," I added rubbing up and down her thighs.
"Fine," she mumbled and I smiled helping her off the desk, kissing her cheek letting her leave. The attention that she gained simply from the way she carried herself was such a turn-on, every time she walked, she walked with a purpose and-
"So this what you do with your half of the company," he said referring to want he saw between Cassi and me, making me roll my eyes.
My grandfather owned the company initially and instead of giving my brother the company, he shared it between my brother and me. My father hasn't accepted the fact that his gay daughter is running her half better than her brother.
"It's gotten results hasn't it?" I asked running my hand through my hair.
"Don't be smart with me,"
"What do you want?"
"Your mother wants you at the dinner tonight," he said
"I can't I'm busy," I lied, I just didn't want to be with my family, sitting around a dinner table only to be judged from every angle.
"Are we done now?" I asked wanting him to leave and he stood there looking at me in disapproval. He walked off his hand in his pocket and I immediately buzzed for Cassi, a minute after he left she walked in worry drowning her features.
"Are you okay?" She asked closing the door moving towards me.
"I'm fine,"
"I told your mother you'd meet her for lunch tomorrow," she said hugging me and I accepted it relaxing against her.
"Thank you," I said releasing her ready to bury myself in work, but she held my hand stopping me, pecking my lips slowly.
"Don't let him bother you," she whispered
"I'm not," I lied and she kissed my neck softly before meeting my eyes.
"Yes you are, and he is wrong," she whispered wrapping her hands around my waist.
"Your beautiful, intelligent, charismatic, funny, talented, and now mine," she whispered kissing my lips after every word.
"Yours?"
"Yes," she replied resting her head on my shoulder and I allowed her, loving the warmth she emitted that left me in a bubble of serenity.
"Wanna go home with me?" I asked and she smiled as arousal gathered between my legs.
"To do what?" She asked kissing my chin.
"Watch a show or something," I lied and she laughed kissing me softly biting my lip as she pulled away.
"A show?" She repeated and I laughed realizing how ridiculous that sounded.
"Alright I want to fuck you," I corrected and she smiled shyly.
"We've never-I mean I've never,"
"I know but I'll show you," I whispered softly.
"Let's go then," she said her eyes meeting mine and I bit my lip as my walls clenched.
I cleared my throat grabbing my coat, keys, and phone leading her out of my office and downstairs, we were in my car in record time as I closed my door driving off.
My hand moved to her thigh and she spread her legs slightly allowing it, the quiet sound she released had my panties soaking wet.
"Pull it up," I ordered referring to her skirt and she did as I asked, I grabbed her thigh pulling her closer to me as my hand moved to clit rubbing slowly. She moaned her hand resting on mine as I sped up my movements slightly.
This continued until I arrived home, I pulled into the driveway way as the gate closed, her eyes were shut in pleasure and I pulled my hand away causing them to open.
"We're here," I told her realizing she had fallen into her own world of pleasure, I had kept her on edge the entire drive, pulling her towards her orgasm but never allowing her to cum, she was a dripping mess and that only turned me on further as we got out of the car.
I fumbled with my keys as I opened the door pulling her inside, my anticipation getting the best of me as I closed it throwing the keys on the coffee table. I lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around me her hands burying themselves in my hair as I kissed her passionately walking up the stairs.
Dear God
After all the time I took fantasizing this was finally about to happen.
I reached for the knob pulling the door open stepping inside as her fingers worked on my buttons. She soon got frustrated with the piece of clothing pulling both ends popping the buttons, I smiled as she pushed it off my shoulders loving that she was just as ready as I was. I placed her on the bed taking it off along with my dress pants as she did the same leaving us both in our underwear.
I pushed our heels to the side watching her as she laid there her eyes pooling with desire.
God was she beautiful and she was finally mine.
I moved over her capturing her lips, pulling her bra taking it off, not breaking the kiss before taking off my own, loving the feeling of her nipples pressing into me almost begging for my attention.
My hands roamed over her body just wanting to appreciate every inch, she wrapped her legs around me as I began grinding against her, loving her moans and whimpers, I soon became frustrated with the lack of skin to skin contact. I groaned into the kiss pulling away taking off her underwear and mine before moving back between her legs.
I kissed her neck softly slipping a finger into her loving the way her hips lifted into me. I moved down her body slightly sucking on her nipple adding another finger. I knew me messing with her in the car had her on edge so it wouldn't take long for her to cum. The car also made me realize just how sensitive and respondent she was to my touch.
I moved down her body kissing her thighs as I sped up the pace of my fingers.
"Shit, Starr," she moaned as my mouth landed on her clit sucking, she raised off the bed slightly and I pulled my fingers away replacing them with my tongue eating her out as if my life depended on it. Her hands moved to my hair and I moaned speeding up my movements as she began pulling a loud moan leaving her as she came undone before me.
I sucked on her now sensitive clit looking up at her licking my lips as I moved up her body. I kissed her neck softly listening to her heavy breathing, the memory of her being pleasured replaying in my head as I waited for her breathing to even out.
"Starr that was," she started but stopped, a smile overtaking her features as she looked up at me and I returned the smile kissing her lips softly.
"Do you wanna try?" I asked grinding her slightly and she nodded shyly making me smile. I pulled away from her rolling over onto my back, the touch of her touching me turning me on even more.
She sat up getting on top of me, her hands on either side of my head as my eyes appreciated each inch of her that my gaze could see.
"You don't have to be nervous," I whispered sensing her discomfort and hesitancy and she smiled not meeting my eyes making me laugh.
"Come here," I whispered and she moved down meeting my lips, I kissed her softly wanting to remove whatever doubts her mind had formed hoping to make her as comfortable as possible, but her uneasiness wouldn't subside.
She pulled away not making eye contact I was about to say something but she beat me to it.
"I've never so I-" she whispered and I smiled cutting her off with a kiss.
"I'll teach you," I whispered back and she smiled kissing my neck slowly, leaving a path of wet kisses down my body. I moaned softly as her lips met my thigh before they landed between my legs, I could feel her uneasiness and I moved my hand to her hair wordlessly telling her to relax.
"You don't have to be perfect, just-Fuck," I started ending on a moan as she began tongue fucking me, I gripped her hair lifting my hips to her mouth, arousal leaking from between my legs. She began flicking her tongue and I arched my back slightly as the building increased.
"Relax your tongue," I moaned and she did for a split second before she went tense again.
"Cassi please," I begged and she did it once more this time for a longer period but soon she pulled away her fingers replacing her tongue. Now that was something she was amazing at, every thrust of her fingers had me moving closer to my orgasm. Her mouth moved to my clit sucking and my hands tightened in her hair as I came undone moaning her name.

Jason's POV
I walked down the hall immediately moving over to the desk of who I assumed to be his personal assistant, with the hopes of leaving this building with a partnership in mind.
"Excuse me," I called out politely and she turned rolling her eyes, allowing me to see her.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked referring to her attitude.
"No sorry it's not you," she apologized quickly flashing me a friendly smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Are you here to see Ms. Webster?" She asked looking down her brown hair falling around her face and my hand yearned to remove it, wanting to see her.
"No I'm here to see Mr. Barnes," I said wondering if I came to the correct building, I desperately needed a new assistant his lack of understanding was irking me with every passing second, and I-
"Name please," she said silently letting me know I was in the right place, while also unknowingly saving a man's job.
"Jason Lights,"
"To the left, the door at the end of the hall," she replied and I smiled not really wanting to leave her presence, there was just something about her energy that had me feeling at ease.
"And your name?"
"Cassidy Daniels," she replied and I smiled
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Daniels," I announced before walking down the hall, following her instructions. I pushed the door open to see Alec sitting around the desk, his gaze meeting me as I closed the door.
"Still haven't mastered the art of knocking,"
"Not when you were supposed to get back to me several days ago," I defended sitting in the chair in front of his desk.
"May I remind you I have a partner, so I must run every decision through her," he explained looking as his door flew open.
"Alec get your own assistant," the female voice ordered firmly I turned to be greeted by a woman that had my eyes never wanting to leave her.
"Cassi doesn't mind," he defended.
"Well I do, I don't like sharing," she fired back and I smiled finding that we had something in common.
"This is my partner," Alec said and it as if she hadn't noticed me sitting here, which was odd since my eyes never left her.
"Jason Lights, nice to meet you," I said standing up holding out my hand and she shook it breaking her glare directed at Alec to flash me a smile.
"Starr Webster," she introduced her voice firm holding authority and confidence.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your meeting, my partner here just doesn't listen unless it comes with a threat," she apologized making me smile.
"It's no problem," I said as she released my hand her eyes finally meeting mine, her gaze powerful almost as if pulling me to her. She looked away destroying our small exchange clearing her throat.
"Leave Cassidy, get your own assistant," she concluded walking out of the room making me chuckle.
"That's not one you want to try," Alec said gaining my attention.
"What?"
"I'm referring to Starr, if you're not strong enough she is bound to break you," he said shaking his head amused.
"Why do you say that?" I asked intrigued sitting down pulling the buttons on my jacket.
"She has a, very strong personality," he finished and I smiled.
"I don't mind a strong-minded woman," I replied and he chuckled.
"Her level of Independence and dominance can emasculate a man," he mumbled and I frowned.
"Have you guys-"
"Only for a month it didn't work out and ever since then we've been nothing but friends," he cleared up quickly.
"Oh, so you couldn't handle her?" I asked amused.
"Remember you're trying to convince me to make a deal here," he said chuckling.
"I was, but I now realize I need to go to the head," I said and he chuckled.
"Good luck, she is on the opposite side of the hall, go to Cassidy first," he said amused and I smiled dismissing myself before walking out going to Cassidy's desk to find it empty, which sadden me slightly since apart of me wanted to see her again.
.

Starr's POV
"Did you meet that Jason guy?" She asked curiously sitting on my desk and I diverted my gaze from my screen to her.
"Yeah, why?" I asked, thinking back to the man.
"Nothing," she mumbled her brows pulling together to create a frown.
"Are you sure?" I asked and she looked away not meeting my gaze, letting me know something was up.
"Yeah," she assured smiling getting off my desk but I could sense something was clearly there.
"Cassi," I called out as I stood up leaning into her.
"I'm fine," she whispered moving in meeting my lips, igniting every inch of my body. I grabbed her ass and she smiled into the kiss slipping her tongue into my mouth confidently.
How could one person break me with just the touch of their lips, I doubt she even knew the power she held over me. A knock sounded on the door and she pulled away, I cursed under my breath earning a laugh from her as I released her watching as she walked over to the door pulling it open.
I licked my lips sitting down as she stepped aside closing the door as Mr. Lights walked in.
"Sorry to drop in unannounced but I went to the desk and no one was there," he said walking over to me confidently and I watched as Cassidy's eyes settled on him for a split second before she started doing what she originally came to do, making my thoughts from earlier return.
"It's okay," I replied and he nodded.
"I had a business proposal that I wanted to take up with you," he said as Cassidy moved over to the shelf behind me and both our eyes followed her.
.
.
.
.
Cassidy's POV
I felt both their gazes on me uneasiness mixing with my guilt. The very man that had been consuming my thoughts since our first encounter was sitting in the same room and in Starr's office of all places.
Where the hell was this file?
Both their gazes made me feel things I didn't want to, especially his I didn't want his gaze to have me feeling anything but it did and with the addition of Starr's gaze I couldn't even think straight.
I wondered if she knew about the attraction I felt towards the man since she kept pushing the question when I asked her about him as if she knew and just wanted the truth, I sighed frustrated with my thoughts, feelings, and self.
"Are you okay?" They both asked at once pausing their conversation and I cleared my throat.
.
.
.
.
Jason's POV
"Yeah," she answered not making eye contact with either of us, but I could feel Starr's gaze on me.
Shit.
I shouldn't have asked, I didn't even know why I did it just left me, her fumbling evoked what felt like worry, and with my mind busy on my emotions for her and Starr it just came out.
Wait her and Starr?
"Why don't you come back for whatever you're looking for later," Starr offered and she nodded leaving both our gazes to follow her as she left, the moment the door closed Starr and I's eyes locked, and she looked away quickly, her gaze going to screen as she began reading over the file Alec sent her.
What the hell was going on?
Was I attracted to them both?
I have been attracted to multiple women before but not to this extent.
Not like this
Shit
.
.
.
.
Starr's POV
I read over the first paragraph for what felt like the hundredth time, I couldn't concentrate with all the thoughts rushing through my mind along with his gaze piercing into me and the constant voice in my head, I wondered if Cassidy and him dated and maybe that's why she began acting weird.
I mean it was obvious now, especially with how uneasy she became with the both of us in the room.
"Why don't you come back tomorrow," I said suddenly and he cleared his throat.
"I'm busy tomorrow, but I have an open spot the day after, we could discuss it over dinner," he said confidently
"From what I grasped from this, your main interest is the club so I think it's better if we meet there, get this over with quickly," I said
"Okay no problem,"
"My assistant and I will be there," I responded.
