Sebastian (The Beck Brothers #2)

by Large, Andria

  Raelynn shrugged. " Nothing," she said as she broke off a piece of bread from the basket in front of them.

  Raelynn and Nicole always made it a point to get together and go out for dinner every other week. They took turns picking the restaurant that they would go to. They would sit and drink wine and talk.

  Nicole gave her a dry look. " Come on, I want details."

  " About what? We slept together and that's it. There's nothing else," Raelynn said, popping another piece of bread in her mouth.

  " You slept together? Just once?" Nicole asked.

  Raelynn sighed. " Well...that night I went home with him, we did it about 3 times. Then there was one other time."

  Nicole studied her for a minute. " When was the last time you saw him?" she asked curiously.

  " Three weeks ago," Raelynn answered.

  " Have you talked to him at all?" Nicole asked evenly, taking another sip of wine. Raelynn knew she was fishing.

  " No, okay? Can we just drop it?" Raelynn huffed.

  Nicole frowned. " No, we're not gonna drop it. I wanna know why you're being so stubborn. Has he called you?"

  " Yes."

  " But you won't call him back?" Nicole asked, confused.

  " No. Look, it's complicated," Raelynn sighed.

  " What is so complicated about it? He apparently likes you if he's calling you," Nicole said.

  " He just wants sex, Nicole. That's why he's calling me. He doesn't want a relationship. He'd been through a lot recently and is only looking for something to take his mind off of everything," Raelynn snapped.

  " If that was true then he'd go somewhere else for sex. He wouldn't continue to call you. Men don't chase after women who ignore them if they just want sex. They say fuck her and go find someone else who they know will give it to them," Nicole stated, giving Raelynn a pointed look.

  Raelynn stared at her friend. Nicole has dated more men than Raelynn. She wasn't a slut. The men she dated had to wait at least a month or two before they got in her pants. She'd only had a couple one night stands. But if a man didn't meet her standards, she kicked them to the curb. So maybe Nicole was right. Maybe Sebastian did like her. But that didn't mean he wanted anything else from her. He said that himself.

  " Even so, he doesn't want more then sex. He's sworn off relationships and love. And honestly, I don't have the time for a relationship anyway," Raelynn said dismissively.

  " So why can't you just sleep with him every now and then? Was he good in bed?" Nicole asked, wagging her eyebrows.

  Raelynn smiled. She couldn't help it. " The best," Raelynn murmured quietly.

  Nicole's eyes widened. " The best you've ever had?!" she squawked, drawing the eyes of other people sitting around them.

  " Shhh!" Raelynn hissed. “ Yes. Alright?!”

  Nicole chuckled. " So why not keep seeing him and see where it goes. Maybe he'll change his mind on the whole relationship thing."

  Raelynn shook her head. " No, I told you I don't have time for a relationship either. I'm too busy with work."

  " You need to get un-busy. Work should not be your life," Nicole said, disapprovingly.

  Raelynn knew that she worked too much and it kind of took over her life. She didn't see her family or friends as much as she wanted to because work always got in the way. But what could she do? It was her career and she loved what she did. And really, it was all or nothing. The Chief wanted her available, which she was. She was young and single. Perfect detective material.

  Their food came - cutting off the conversation - much to Raelynn's relief. They ate in comfortable silence, both enjoying their food. Raelynn was taking a sip of her wine when she saw Nicole's eyes widen on something behind her. Before Raelynn could turn to look, someone stepped up behind her chair and settled their very large hands on her shoulders. Raelynn looked at Nicole for some kind of hint on who it was. But she just sat there with an amused glint in her eyes.

  A warm breath grazed Raelynn ear, making her shiver. " Why haven't you called me back, Raelynn?" Sebastian's voice murmured as his hands gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze.

  Raelynn closed her eyes and cursed under her breath. Of course he would be here. That was her luck. Raelynn turned her head slightly so that she could semi-see him. " I've been busy," she answered.

  Sebastian snorted and straightened back up. " Sure you have," he said, obviously not believing her. " Hey. it's Nicole, right?" he said, finally letting go of her shoulders to shake Nicole's hand.

  " It is. And you're Sebastian," Nicole replied with a flirtatious smile.

  He smiled. " I am," he said, now standing at the side of their table. He turned his attention back to Raelynn. " I was hoping to see you again, you know," he said evenly, but Raelynn could see the anger flash in his eyes.

  " This is not a good time for me, Sebastian," Raelynn said quietly, poking at her food.

  " Now is not a good time to, what? To talk to me? I can't seem to get a hold of you any other time. You won't answer my calls. So I'm going to say what I have to say while you're here in front of me. We were kinda in the middle of something when you walked out to go to work three weeks ago. You never said that you were never going to talk to me again. I'm a big boy Rae, I can handle being turned down. But I wanna hear it from you - don't just leave me hangin'. I thought we were having a good time. Was I wrong?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest and waited for her to reply.

  Raelynn could hear the irritation and what sounded like hurt, in his voice. She glanced at Nicole to find Nicole frowning at her. She then looked up at Sebastian. " Can't we talk about this later? I mean, I'm in the middle of dinner with my friend," Raelynn huffed.

  Sebastian smiled, but it wasn't a nice smile. " Yeah sure. Why don't you call me," he scoffed then turned and walked away without another word.

  Raelynn watched him walk through the tables to the other side of the restaurant where he sat down at a table that was occupied by an older woman. Raelynn recognized her. It was his mother, Anne. Sebastian's back was to her and he kept it that way. Raelynn looked back at Nicole. She was shaking her head, looking angry.

  " That was really bitchy," Nicole said.

  " What? That was really rude of him to come over and start talking about shit like we're not in the middle of a restaurant," Raelynn snapped.

  " He wouldn't have had to do that if you would have just called him back. The man obviously wants to keep seeing you. He seems really nice. I don't know why you're being such a bitch to him," Nicole snapped back.

  " Call me a bitch one more time and I'm leaving," Raelynn growled, glaring at her best friend.

  Nicole glared right back. " Whatever. I just don't understand what your problem with him is." she said, shaking her head some more.

  Raelynn glanced over in Sebastian's direction. The problem was that the damn man got under her skin somehow. She couldn't stop thinking about him. The three weeks that she hadn't returned his phone calls were torture. She had almost given in so many times. Just to hear his voice. She didn't even care about the sex. It was him. She cared about him. She cared about how he was doing, mentally and emotionally. She had even checked up on Bill to make sure he was doing okay still. And honestly, she was scared shitless. She could not fall for this guy. He just didn't have it in him to love her back and Raelynn couldn't handle that. She'd been burned before. Loved with all she was and got nothing in return. She couldn't do it again.

  Sebastian's back was still to her, his shoulders stiff. His mother glanced at her though, a frown on her face. She looked confused. She didn't look pissed in any way. But just seemed to not understand what was going on. Raelynn didn't know how much Sebastian has told her, so she probably was confused.

  " I gotta go to the bathroom," Raelynn muttered, setting her fork down.

  She worked her way through the tables towards the bathroom. From the corner of her eye, she saw Sebastian's mom get up. Great. Raelynn walked into the empty bathroom and went to the last stall. She did her thing then e
xited the stall. Anne walked in at the same time. She gave Raelynn a warm smile.

  " Raelynn, it's good to see you again," Anne said sweetly, sincerely.

  Raelynn gave her a tight smile. " You too, Mrs. Beck," she said and went to wash her hands.

  " I don't mean to pry, sweetie...but I couldn't help but notice you and Sebastian arguing a few minutes ago. Is everything okay with you two?" Anne asked, concerned.

  Raelynn looked at her through the mirror. Anne Beck was a beautiful older woman. With her shrewd green eyes and coifed white hair. Her perfectly done makeup and crisp white blouse.

  " You do know we're not together, right?" Raelynn asked, trying not to sound like a complete bitch.

  Anne raised a perfectly arched eyebrow. " Coulda fooled me."

  " We haven't spoken to each other in three weeks," Raelynn murmured, dropping her eyes to her hands.

  " Ah...so that's why he's been so irritable. He seemed to be doing so well up until about two weeks ago. I couldn't figure out what his problem was and he wouldn't tell me. I did notice that he was constantly checking his phone though," She said thoughtfully. " I'm guessing he'd called you but you haven't called him back?"

  Raelynn shrugged, turning off the water. " I don't know how much you know. So I really don't want to say anything," Raelynn said softly.

  " Sebastian hasn't told me much. I'm not stupid though, I can see that you've slept together. That much is obvious," Anne said with a smirk.

  Raelynn glared at her, then sighed. " Fine, we did. It was only supposed to be a one time thing. We had both agreed on that. Yet, he keeps wanting to see me. I know he doesn't want a relationship. And...I really don't feel comfortable talking about this with you, I'm sorry."

  " I understand. But let me just tell you that the little bit of time that you were seeing him, that had been the happiest I've seen him in years. He wasn't even that happy when he was with Victoria. Henry had told me about the night at the club when you two were dancing..." Anne smiled almost wistfully. A little chuckle escaping her. "...Oh! I wish I could have seen it. Henry said he laughed his butt off. Sebastian hasn't been that carefree since before he met Victoria. I hate to talk bad about her because she's dead, but she was no good for him. Always wanted to change him. She was a stuck up bitch and didn't appreciate a good man when she had one," Anne said tightly. She waved a dismissive hand. " Sorry. I'm rambling. I just want my son to be happy. You make him happy, sweetheart. He might not realize it or want to admit it yet, but he cares a lot about you."

  Raelynn fought back the tears that stung her eyes. Damn mothers. Why did they always have to do that? Now she felt like shit. She felt like shit for being the cause of Sebastian's sadness. They did get along really well and had had a good time together. Was she making a mistake?

  " Oh Raelynn...I didn't mean to upset you dear," Anne said, placing her warm soft hand on Raelynn's arm.

  Raelynn shook her head. " I'm fine. I need to go back to my friend," she said, leaving the bathroom without saying goodbye to Mrs. Beck.

  Sebastian was in a shit mood for the rest of the night after his little encounter with Raelynn. He couldn't even believe that he had acted the way he did, like a lover scorned. They weren't in any type of relationship. She hadn't returned his phone calls for three weeks, yet he hadn't gotten the hint. Well...more like he hadn't wanted to get the hint. Then he had seen her at the restaurant and a flood of emotions swept over him. His stomach twisted and his heart fluttered at the sight of her. He hadn't thought twice about approaching her. He wanted her to know that he was pissed by how she was acting. He could take being turned down. But he didn't like being blown off. She had been a bitch about it, which pissed him off even more. Yet, he still hoped she called. What a fucking loser!

  He had tried to forget about her over the past three weeks. Had even tried picking up another woman. He went to the chick's house, got naked and was in the middle of getting a blow job when he just couldn't take it anymore. All he could think about was Raelynn and how this girl was doing nothing the way Raelynn had. To say the girl was pissed was an understatement. She had been furious when Sebastian stopped her and started pulling on his clothes. He'd rather have her pissed then crying though.

  Sebastian had no idea what he was going to do now. What was he going to do if Raelynn didn't call? He couldn't go without sex forever. He just needed more time to forget about her. That was all. He didn't need her. She was nothing but an amazing fuck. At least that's what he kept trying to tell himself. What. A. Fucking. Loser.

  Sebastian was lounging on his couch when there was a knock on his door. Not thinking anything of it, he got up and answered it. He was shocked as shit to see Raelynn standing there looking sullen. Good. Seeing her standing in the hallway, outside his apartment brought his anger back.

  " What are you doing here?" he snapped.

  Raelynn gave him a bored look then pushed past him. She walked into his apartment and dropped her purse onto the kitchen counter. Sebastian swung around to stare at her in shock and outrage.

  " I didn't extend a welcome to you," he growled, slamming the door shut.

  Sebastian stormed toward to her. Tons of emotions surged through him. She looked incredible in a pair of light gray yoga pants and a loose fitting t-shirt that hung off one toned shoulder. Her hair was down, the front pulled away from her face by a large clip. Sebastian's anger shifted into lust. And as soon as he was in front of her, he was ravaging her mouth.

  The kiss was wild and frantic. He couldn't get close enough - he couldn't touch enough of her. His hands were all over her - yanking at her clothes and tangling in her hair. His mouth devoured hers. She seemed to be just as starved as he was, because she was matching him kiss for kiss. Her hands were in his hair...under his shirt...and cupping him through his sweatpants.

  He only had her down to her bra and panties when she dropped to her knees in front of him and took his pants with her. They pooled around his ankles. Before he could kick them away she had him in her mouth. He jerked so hard that he almost choked her. He couldn't control the guttural shout that came out of him. Jesus Christ! He had missed her so bad. And not even the sex. He had missed her. Her scent, her touch, the softness of her skin. Her voice. God, how he missed her voice. Even though she hadn't said a word yet.

  Sebastian looked down to watch her and found her eyes rolled up, watching him as she sucked him off. His lips parted and his breath came faster. This woman was going to be the death of him. He reached down and cupped her face. She moaned around him, making Sebastian shutter. His balls pulled up tight. He was close but he didn't want to come yet. He wanted this to last. He pulled her up to her feet. Her mouth came off him with a pop.

  He crushed her to him and slanted his mouth over hers. Sebastian kicked away his pants then lifted her. Raelynn instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist. He loved picking her up like this. It was so easy to do because she was to tiny and light. He made his way over to the couch and sat down with her on his lap. Raelynn drug her mouth down over his jaw to his neck. Sebastian moaned as she sucked, licked and nibbled at his neck. His hands kneaded her perfectly rounded ass.

  " Shit, baby...I can't wait much longer to be inside of you," Sebastian rasped.

  Raelynn then slipped off his lap and stood between his spread knees. Her smoldering blue gaze locked on his as her hands reached behind her back. Sebastian moaned low and wrapped a hand around himself, stroking lightly. He wanted her so bad. Had missed her so bad. The bra fell away and Sebastian's breath caught. She was absolutely breathtaking. The panties were next and Sebastian thought his eyes were gonna roll back in his head. She had the most beautiful body he's ever seen. She was toned and soft at the same time. She was bare between her legs, which he loved. Her breasts were just the right size centered with a dark pink nipple.

  Raelynn tossed her hair over her shoulder as she climbed back onto his lap. Sebastian latched onto her nipple as she sunk down onto him. His cry was muffled by her soft skin. Raelynn gasp
ed and grabbed his head, holding him to her. Oh...he wasn't going anywhere. She was his and he wasn't letting her go. Raelynn started moving and he was lost. All conscious thoughts left him at this point and the only thing he felt was pure pleasure.

  Sebastian tore his mouth away from her and grabbed her face. He kissed her hard then pressed his forehead against hers. " Ugh...ride me baby..." he gasped "...Fuck me hard."

  Raelynn's only response was a low moan before kissing him senseless. She gripped his hair and tugged his head back until it rested on the back of the sofa. Her hips rocked, bringing him closer and closer to oblivion. Sebastian grabbed her hips, holding her still while he took over, pumping up into her hand and fast. Raelynn screamed his name - the grip on his hair tightening. Her whole body trembled.

  " Come with me, baby," Sebastian panted.

  He was teetering on the edge now, another couple seconds and he would be done for. He knew she was close but he just couldn't hold himself back any longer. Sebastian crushed her to him, his arms wrapping around her as he slammed into her one last time. A strangled cry escaped him as he felt her convulsing around him. Raelynn whimpered and clutched his head.
