Be Mine Forever (Brothers From Money #2)

by Shanade White

  They remained in that position for quite a while, each recovering from the intensity of what they’d just shared. Finally, Leslie said. “That was amazing.”

  “Definitely, like nothing ever before, it was powerful, I don’t know how else to describe it.” Sebastian said, expressing exactly what she had been thinking. “Is it you and your talent?”

  “No, I don’t think so, I think it’s us together.” She said, rolling onto her back.

  Sebastian sat up, balancing himself on one elbow. “I’ve never felt anything like that before. When we touch, I feel an electricity between us.”

  “That’s exactly how I’d describe it, electricity.” She said, pulling him down for a kiss. “I’ve never felt this either, I always feel something when I’m using my healing power, but it’s not this feeling.”

  “Well, whatever it is, I like it. I wonder if it will get stronger. It seems to have already.”

  “I don’t know, but there are ways to find out, you know.”

  “Oh, yeah. How would we go about doing that?” He asked, his hands beginning to roam.

  “Well, we might start with this.” She said, capturing his nipple with her mouth.

  He growled, his erection pushing against her leg. “Hmm, that does seem to be working.”

  “Tell me what this does for that electricity.” She said, wrapping her hand around his erection and stroking him.

  “Definitely having a big effect.” He said, lowering his mouth to hers, ending the conversation.

  Leslie was still humming from the night before the next morning when she got to the stadium. Tomorrow was another game day, so practice would be at the stadium. Although Sebastian still wasn’t going to play, he would be on the sidelines during the game, so she didn’t see him much that day.

  Still it was clear to anyone who looked that something had changed between them. Any time they were close to one another, it seemed that they found some way to touch. The players were good about the whole thing, having too much respect for Leslie to tease her about it. She was sure that wouldn’t last, but for now she was glad they were leaving it alone.

  She’d grown to love this job, the players were quickly becoming like family, but she hated the time spent in the stadium. Her movements were extremely limited here, there were always so many people wandering around taking pictures. It made her nervous, afraid that she would accidentally be caught in a picture.

  She had good reason to worry, one of the players would in fact unknowingly spread her picture across the internet. It was an innocent mistake, they had just won a big game, one that everyone had predicted they would lose. The player had snapped a picture while she had been lost in thought, then posted it right away.

  Luckily, Sebastian saw the picture almost immediately and showed Leslie. Her heart sank and for a minute she began to panic, facial recognition software was available to anyone who wanted it and she was sure that the Russian Mafia would be using any tools at their disposal. Michael had warned her about just such a possibility.

  Panicked, she said. “Sebastian, you have to get him to remove that picture. It can’t be out there, they’ll find me.”

  “Okay, hold on. Who will find you?”

  “Please, just get that picture off there.” She begged.

  Sebastian worked his way across the room, pulled the player aside, then using a lot of hand gestures convinced him to remove the picture. When he came back across the room to where she’d slumped down on a bench, he sat down next to her and took her hand.

  “You’re going to have to tell me about this eventually. You can’t hide forever, it’s not healthy. Maybe I can help, just tell me what’s going on.” His eyes met hers and she was close to telling him, but then remembered that it would only put him in danger.

  “I would love to tell you, but it would only put you in danger. You’re just going to have to trust me. It’s not going to be forever, just for a bit longer.”

  Grabbing her hand, he pulled her out of the room and across the hall to an empty office. He closed and locked the door, then pulled the blinds. “You have to understand that this is hard for me, when someone I care about needs help, I want to help.”

  “I know you must feel frustrated, but there is nothing I can do about that. I can’t tell you anything. The truth is I may not even be here tomorrow, that picture may have been enough to force me to leave.”

  “You can’t just keep running away.”

  “Can’t you just understand that this is my life right now? I can’t control it, it was a mistake to get involved with you. It’s only going to end badly.” She said, trying to unlock the door before her tears began to fall.

  But before she could get the door open he grabbed her and pulled her close. “Promise me that you won’t leave without telling me. If you have to go, I’ll let you, but don’t leave without saying goodbye.”

  She clung to him, his heart beating in her ear and calmed herself. “I can’t promise that, but I’ll do my best. I have to make a phone call. Will you wait for me?”

  “Honey, I’m going to wait for you as long as it takes. Make your phone call and then I’ll take you home.”

  She was weak with relief, the last thing she wanted to do was fight with Sebastian. She couldn’t blame him for being upset, at least he understood that she hadn’t done anything bad. But, it was hard having this secret between them. There was nothing she could do to change the situation and she was glad that Sebastian was being patient.

  Hopefully, when this was all over, they could start over, with nothing standing between them. She regretfully pulled herself from his arms and pulled out her cell phone. She looked up at him, hoping that she wouldn’t have to ask him to leave. He kissed her on the forehead and left the room, looking back at her over his shoulder on his way out he said. “I’m here to help if you need me. I have a lot of resources at my disposal, just say the word.”

  Taking a deep breath, she punched in Michael’s number, which she’d memorized. He answered on the second ring, concern in his voice. “What’s up?”

  “I think we might have a problem. My picture was on the internet, it was only for a few minutes, but it was there.”

  “That is a problem. How did this happen? I told you to be careful. Never mind, it doesn’t matter, I knew your placement was a mistake. Let me make some phone calls and see what my tech guys say. If they can find your picture, you’re out of there.”

  Leslie took a deep breath, “Okay, that doesn’t sound so bad. How long before you will know anything?”

  “It will be a couple of hours, go home and lay low. I’ll call you.”

  “Okay, I can do that. I’m sorry, Michael, I was being careful.”

  “I know, it’s not your fault. Go home and relax, I’ll let you know what’s going on in a few hours.”

  Sebastian was waiting just outside the door when she came out. “Everything is okay, I’ll take you up on that offer of a ride home though.” She said, giving him her best smile.

  “Sounds good to me. Do you want to come over to my house instead?” He asked, taking her hand as they walked out of the building.

  That was exactly what she wanted, a night in Sebastian’s arms, maybe the last. “Your house would be perfect.” She said.

  Chapter 6

  The next morning they rode together to the training facility, riding on a night of passion and the bond that was quickly forming between them. Her car was still at the stadium, but Sebastian had arranged for it to be delivered later that day. She didn’t ask how, was just happy to have someone take care of her for a change.

  Monday’s were a busy day for her, and it was nice not to have to worry about her car. The players were lined up in the training room, waiting for her, sore and tired from the game the day before. As soon as she stepped into the room, her problems faded as she cared for the players.

  Michael had called her back last night to report that the techs had
n’t been able to find the picture anywhere, but he felt that the best course of action was to move her anyway. The risk was too great, now that her picture had been out there, clearly broadcasting her whereabouts.

  She’d refused, feeling certain that her cover hadn’t been blown. Michael advised her to be on guard, to pay attention to her surrounding and anyone who didn’t look like they belonged. “No problem, I spend all my time inside. I haven’t been outside in weeks, no one can get to me.” She said, trying to sound confident.

  “Just be careful and call me if you feel even the slightest bit in danger, even if you think it’s your imagination.”

  “I will. Thank you, Michael. I always feel better knowing that you have my back.”

  “Hang in there, this will be over soon enough.”

  Today, she would be able to push her problems aside and do what she really loved, heal. Sebastian had already planned a night at her apartment later that evening, she’d warned him that it wasn’t much, especially compared to his downtown apartment, but he’d blown off her concerns.

  “Don’t forget that I grew up in a cabin in the woods, I’m used to simple. That apartment wasn’t my choice, it’s more of an investment than anything else. I’d rather have something simpler.”

  “Well, that’s good, because my apartment is the definition of simple.”

  She didn’t see Sebastian for the rest of the day, but waited for him by the elevators at the end of the day. “Hey, thought I might be able to catch you here.” She said, looking around to make sure they were alone, then surprising him by stretching up on her tip toes and kissing him long and hard.

  “Mm, that’s the kind of greeting I like. Let’s leave my car here and take yours, I don’t want to be separated from you for another minute.” He said, following her out the door grabbing her butt with both hands.

  She batted his hands away, “Behave yourself, there are cameras everywhere.”

  “So I guess that means we can’t have a quickie in the car before we leave.” He said, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her, his hands cupping her breasts.

  For a minute all she could do was breathe, as desire rushed through her body and her nipples immediately hardened under his touch. “No one will see anything, we’ll get the windows all steamed up.” He whispered in her ear.

  “You are really terrible, you know that. Can’t you even wait until we get home?” She said, pulling out of his arms, and striding to her car.

  “Nope, it’s been almost twelve hours since I’ve had you in my arms and I’m not waiting a minute more.” He said, catching up and pinning her to the car with his body.

  The feel of his hard body and equally hard erection tempted her to let him have his wish, but instead she said. “Be good until we make it home and you might just get a surprise.”

  “That brings all kinds of interesting thoughts to mind, so I’m going to let you have your way this time. But you better take the fast way home, I can’t promise to wait very long.” He said, backing away and opening the car door for her.

  She climbed in, then watched as he walked around the car and got in. “Drive.” He said, taking her hand, wanting some connection between them.

  She pulled out of the parking garage, completely aroused, not paying any attention to her surroundings. Sebastian teased her the whole way home, stroking her through her sweats, teasing her nipples through her tee shirt.

  “If you want to make it home in one piece, you had better let me drive.” She finally said, pushing his hand away. “It’s not much farther. Can you control yourself for five minutes?” she said, laughing when he made an unhappy face.

  With her mind clearly on her driving again, she realized that she hadn’t been paying attention to her surroundings. Over the last few months, she’d developed a routine she followed, looking in her mirrors at intervals and making note of any cars around her. She’d gotten good at it, even learning to read license plates in the mirror. It had become so routine, it surprised her when she noticed a license plate she recognized.

  She must have given some outward sign of distress, because Sebastian was immediately on his guard. “What’s wrong?”

  “Nothing, I just though I saw a car I recognized. But, I don’t know for sure.”

  “Which one? Let’s get the plates and we can run them.” He said, turning in his seat to look behind them.

  “It’s the little red one, I can read the plate.” She said, rattling off the numbers as he put them into his phone. “How are you going to run the plate?”

  “I have my ways.” He said, grinning at her.

  They pulled into her parking garage, watching as the little red car shot past them, it had followed them all the way from the interstate, making her even more convinced, that they were being followed. They didn’t speak as they walked to the elevators, then got on.

  “I’ve sent the plate number to my brother, he’ll run it and let us know who it’s registered to. It’s probably nothing, but better safe than sorry. You ready to tell me what’s going on yet?”

  “You know I can’t.” She said, pushing the button for her floor. “Get ready to be unimpressed.”

  Sebastian knew she was trying to change the subject, so he went with it. “Honey, nothing about you is unimpressive.” He said, gathering her into his arms and kissing her.

  When the elevator signaled their floor, they broke apart, both breathing heavily. “My apartment is just around the corner.” She said, taking his hand.

  “Good thing, because I’m not sure I can wait much longer.” He said, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her from behind. He was nuzzling her neck, making it difficult for her to get the key in the lock.

  “Here let me help you with that.” He said, taking the key and reaching around her to unlock the door.

  Once inside, he spun her around and kissed her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, inflaming her instantly. “Mm, I think I promised you a treat if you behaved yourself.” She said, pulling his shirt off over his head.

  “That you did.” He said, nibbling on her neck. “What did you have in mind? I can think of a few things that would be a treat.”

  Without a word, she went down on her knees, and helped him out of his shoes, then reaching up she unbuckled his pants and slid the zipper down. His erection popped free, hard and throbbing. She pulled his pants and underwear off, then took him in her hands. He growled in his throat and looked down at her, then pulled the band from her hair. It came cascading down, a riot of long black curls.

  When she took him into her mouth, he grabbed handfuls of her hair, threading his fingers through it. His knees were already shaking with the pure pleasure of her hot mouth on his hard penis. She teased him with her tongue, running it up and down his throbbing member. He was moaning in pleasure and when she cupped his testicles with one hand, he nearly came right in her mouth.

  She would have gladly let him, but he was far from ready to let go, instead he grabbed her and pulled her to him. She was still fully clothed, but he quickly pulled off her shirt and stripped her pants and underwear off. She was pretty sure she heard the lace tear in his haste.

  Once naked, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to the small bedroom, then put her on the bed. He covered her with his body, his hand roaming everywhere, then he parted her legs, and found her clit. He rubbed his finger over her slippery button, making her writhe on the bed.

  “My turn.” He said, moving between her legs and taking one hard nipple into his mouth. He drove her crazy with his mouth on her breasts, licking and sucking until all thoughts vanished from her mind. Moving farther down, he pushed her legs apart, then waited until she looked at him. The sight of him between her legs, released a fresh burst of moisture which he lapped up with his tongue.

  Never had she felt such exquisite pleasure, his tongue was like magic, finding her most sensitive spots and driving her crazy. She could feel her orgasm building but
wanted to share the experience with Sebastian, pulling on him, she brought him back up to her mouth and kissed him.

  “Sebastian, I want you inside me. I need you inside me.” She said, her hips thrusting against his erection, which was resting just outside her core. With each movement of her hips, his hard cock rubbed against her clit, sending fire racing though her body.

  “I thought you’d never ask.” He said, looking into her eyes as he slowly filled her with his huge, hard, cock.

  She wrapped her legs around him, glorying in the feeling of being complete. After several slow thrusts, Sebastian’s desire got the better of him, and he increased his rhythm. His hands found her breasts and teased her nipples, increasing her pleasure nearly to the point of pain.

  Sebastian, wanting Leslie on top, rolled them over until she was straddling him. The new position opened her further to him, and holding her hips, he drove himself into her. She sat up straighter, arching her back, thrusting her breasts out until he let go of her hips and grasped one in each hand.

  Leaning up, he pulled one inflamed nipple into his mouth, teasing her with his tongue, while he continued to pump himself into her. Leslie was leaning back, her arms braced on either side of his legs against the bed, felt as if the world was spinning. By leaning back she had exposed her deep red clit, which Sebastian couldn’t resist touching.

  He reached between them, and with his thumb, began to stroke her. Her body was spinning, each stoke of his thumb timed to match each stroke of his hard penis. She leaned against his bent legs, unable to stay upright when every nerve in her body was crying out for fulfillment.

  She reached between his legs and cupped his testicles in her hand, they were hard and hot, sending another wave of pleasure ripping though her. At her touch, Sebastian lost all control, grabbing her hips, he drove himself into her over and over, until, crying her name he spilled himself into her, hot and hard.

  At the feel of his penis throbbing as he came, Leslie crested on her own wave of pleasure as her orgasm ripped through her as well. The pleasure went on and on, draining every bit of energy from her body. With one final tremor, she collapsed onto his chest, heart pounding as hard as his.
