~CASSELBA'S POV
THE FIREWORKS STARTED AT MIDNIGHT, dancing through the sky for hours unending. Atop the quiet safety of the mansion, I watch as robust sparkles dazzled above. The night skies were lit anew, in not only the silver light of the stars but the colored flickerings of the artificial ones fashioned by man to celebrate the new year.
Few short hours before the fireworks started, Caden had had the bonfire going, and under the orange glow of the leaping flames, he and Ryan had undressed me, working together in harmony and giving me the best evening yet of my entire life.
Our sex hadn't been hurried. On this beautiful winter night, we had taken it slow. It was romantic, quiet, and wonderful. With scarlet fires leaping just metres away, it's rich halos had cast on our bodies, turning my skin different shades of red. Peach. Marigold. Fuschia. And bloom.
