Holy fucking shit! That had been the most explosive orgasm he'd ever had. Sebastian panted so hard that Raelynn was being lifted by his chest. She was limp against him. Her face was tucked into his sweaty neck. Sebastian's arms fell away from her. His head was still on the back of the couch. He closed his eyes to rest for just a minute.
Sebastian jolted awake when something warm and wet slipped around his cock. He gasped and opened his eyes to find Raelynn wiping him off with a rag. Sebastian was confused for a moment before remembering the sex they just had.
" Shit, did I fall asleep?" Sebastian asked, his voice low and raspy.
Raelynn smiled softly. " We both did actually. I just woke up a few minutes ago and thought washing up might be a good idea before we got stuck together."
Sebastian chuckled low. " Thanks."
Raelynn leaned forward and kissed him tenderly on the lips. " You're welcome."
He watched her walk naked back down the hallway to the bathroom. He sighed contently and rested his head back on the couch. That had been the most amazing sex he'd ever had in his life. He wasn't surprised really because it was with Raelynn. He scrubbed his hands over his face then raked them through his hair. What the hell was going on with him? He was addicted to her or something. He remembered his thought earlier about how she was his and he wasn't letting her go. What did that mean? Could he possibly be having feelings for her? He didn't want to get hurt again. But there was no way in hell he could go another day without seeing her or talking to her. Aw, fuck...he was so screwed. Raelynn returned to the living room a minute later.
" How long did we sleep for?" Sebastian asked, holding his hand out for her.
Raelynn walked over and took it, letting Sebastian pull her down onto his lap sideways. " Only about 15 minutes."
" Oh...okay." he murmured, tucking his face into her neck.
" We need to talk," Raelynn whispered.
" Shh, don't ruin the moment," Sebastian said, hugging her tighter.
Raelynn chuckled low and ran a hand down his shoulder to his bicep then back up, then repeated. They sat in silence for a good twenty minutes before Sebastian had to get up to go to the bathroom. He pulled his sweatpants back on and headed for the bathroom. When he finished, he went back to the living room where Raelynn was now dressed and sitting on the couch with a can of Pepsi.
Sebastian plopped down next to her. " So, you wanted to talk?"
Raelynn nodded and set her soda on the coffee table. She turned slightly, tucking one leg under so that she could face him. " I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have been such a bitch to you," she frowned, her light blue eyes searching his.
" You've more then made up for it, sweetheart," Sebastian said with a wry smile.
Raelynn smiled softly before it faded. " I'm confused Sebastian. I don't know what you want from me. This one night stand has evolved into something else entirely and I have no idea what that is," Raelynn sighed.
Sebastian sighed heavily. He didn't know either. " I don't know, Raelynn. I'm just as confused as you are. I had sworn to myself that I would never let another woman get close enough to hurt me. But I find myself unable to stop thinking about you. I want to keep seeing you and being with you."
Raelynn frowned at him again. " I thought you didn't want a relationship."
" I don't! I mean...I thought I didn't. Shit! I don't fucking know! The only thing I do know is that I don't want to go another three weeks or more without seeing you," Sebastian huffed, raking his hand through his hair.
Raelynn nodded and brushed her long blonde hair over her shoulder. " I don't want to get hurt either, Sebastian. I don't want to be used. Is sex the only reason you want me around?"
" What?!" He asked incredulously. " No! Definitely not!"
Raelynn gave him a satisfied smile and shifted so that she was on her knees. She crawled onto his lap, straddling him. She draped her arms around his neck and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
" So you like me?" Raelynn asked wryly.
Sebastian gave her a bland look. " Of course I do."
" I like you too," Raelynn smirked.
Sebastian hummed his satisfaction then pulled her down for a more thorough kiss. " Lets not think about this too hard, okay? Lets just take it one day at a time and enjoy what we have together. There is no need to label it," Sebastian murmured when they separated.
Raelynn nodded slowly as she seemed to think about it. " Okay," she agreed.
Sebastian smiled. Glad that she didn't argue with him about wanting to call them boyfriend/girlfriend or some shit like that. He wanted them to be together, but he wasn't ready to call it a relationship. He wasn't ready to tell her anything other than that he liked her. He wasn't going to drop the guard on his heart either. No matter how much he wanted to be with Raelynn, he was not going to fall for her. He didn't know how long they were going to be together and he wasn't going to worry about that right now. He was going to take it day by day like he said.
" Just promise me one thing?" Sebastian said, really feeling like a pussy for asking what he was about to ask.
" What's that?" Raelynn asked quietly, her blue eyes roaming over his face.
" Promise me you won't be with anyone else while we're together," Sebastian whispered. He couldn't handle her being with other guys while she was with him, even if they weren't officially in a relationship.
Raelynn gave him a tender smile and brushed her fingers through the hair just above his left ear. " I promise as long as you promise the same thing."
Sebastian scrunched his nose in disgust. " Oh, believe me...I promise not to go fucking guys while I'm with you." Raelynn laughed, making him smile. " No...I promise there will be no other women" Sebastian said sincerely, threading his fingers through her silky hair before pulling her down for a kiss.
Chapter 10
Football season was starting and it was the one sport that Quinn actually liked. Mostly because he and his brothers got together for every game. They took turns at each other's places. Sebastian offered to host the first Eagles game of the season. Sebastian and Henry were serious fans but Quinn and Christian could really care less. However, it was a chance to be with their big brothers, so they never missed a get together.
Quinn knocked on Sebastian's door and walked in at the same time. He spotted Sebastian squatting by the open fridge, putting beers in the bottom drawer. There was also a drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman standing at the counter and looked to be making some kind of taco dip. Sweet.
Sebastian looked up and grinned evilly. " Hey, Prince Charming. Have you kissed your frog yet?"
Quinn frowned and thought about what Sebastian just said. When it hit him, Quinn chuckled and shook his head. " You're an asshole."
Sebastian laughed. " Henry told me about the French chick you're working with," he shrugged.
Quinn hummed. He wasn't surprised that Henry told Sebastian. Those two told each other everything.
" Did you seriously just refer to a French chick as a frog?" The blonde asked dryly, eyebrow raised.
Sebastian laughed heartily. A sound that Quinn hadn’t heard in years. Quinn looked at the blonde curiously. She had to be the woman Quinn has heard about from his mother for the past two and a half months. His mother went on and on about the girl who's been making Sebastian so happy. Quinn had yet to meet her though.
" Quinn, this is Raelynn. Raelynn, my younger brother, Quinn," Sebastian introduced as he straightened up.
Raelynn gave him a tight smile and held out her hand over the counter. Quinn moved forward and shook it. " Nice to meet you," she said.
" You too," Quinn said, glancing at Sebastian - who wouldn't meet his eyes.
Was Sebastian uncomfortable about her meeting his family? He hadn't introduced her as his girlfriend. Just Raelynn. What was that about? Were they not dating? From the way his mother talked about them, one would think they were ready to get married. Obviously there was something else going on here. Quinn glanced back at Raelynn to se
e her frowning slightly at Sebastian's back. Giving Quinn another hint as to what was going on. Sebastian didn't want to be in a relationship but he apparently really liked this girl a lot or she wouldn't be here. And it looked as though Raelynn was hurt that Sebastian didn't acknowledge her as anything more then a friend.
Quinn sighed to himself. This would not turn out well for Sebastian if he didn't man up soon and let this woman know how he feels. Quinn could see that Raelynn was the type of woman who knew she deserved better and wouldn't wait around for a guy who wasn't going to admit that he cared for her. Which was damn respectable in Quinn eyes. Sebastian was a stubborn bastard, so Quinn hoped he realized what he could be loosing before it was too late.
Sebastian must have sensed her tension because he sidled up behind her and kissed her on the cheek then whispered something in her ear that Quinn couldn't hear. Raelynn just nodded. Not wanting to be all up in their business. Quinn gave them some room and moved into the living room. He flopped down onto the sofa and kicked his feet up onto the coffee table.
A beer bottle thumped him on the chest from over his shoulder. Quinn glanced back to see Sebastian standing behind him. Quinn took the beer and thanked him. Sebastian then went back into the kitchen.
" So tell me about this Frenchy you're working with, is she hot?" Sebastian asked from the kitchen.
Quinn took a sip of his beer before answering. " Yeah."
Sebastian was silent for a moment, making Quinn turn slightly to look back at him. Sebastian was standing at the counter with Raelynn staring at Quinn expectantly. " And?" he prompted.
" And what?" Quinn frowned.
Sebastian huffed. "’And what?’ he says," Sebastian mocked. " Are you gonna try and bang her?"
Raelynn rolled her lips in as if she was trying to hold back a laugh. Her light blue eyes sparkled with amusement and sympathy as she looked at Quinn.
" Why would I try and bang someone I can't stand?" Quinn asked incredulously.
" I can't stand Raelynn but I bang her all the time," Sebastian shrugged, fighting not to smile as he snuck a glance at her.
Raelynn gasped in mock outrage and elbowed him in the gut. Sebastian "Oof-ed" and twisted away from her. " I think it's the other way around, jerk," she grunted, punching him in the kidney.
" Ow!" Sebastian chuckled.
Quinn bit back a smile. Sebastian being playful with a woman? It's been a long fucking time since Quinn had seen that. He didn't ever tease Victoria. She always took it the wrong way and he'd end up in the dog house.
A knock sounded, interrupting Sebastian's beating. The apartment door opened and Henry walked in followed by Christian and his best friend Shea Dempsey. Apparently Henry knew Raelynn already because he gave her a big hug. Raelynn introduced herself to Christian and Shea. Henry came up behind Quinn and gave his shoulders a squeeze before going and dropping into the recliner.
" Hey man," Henry smiled brightly.
" Hey," Quinn replied. " What are you so happy about?"
Henry sighed and raked a hand through his hair. " I'm happy to be away from the kids and Claire for a little while. They're driving me nuts."
" That's what happens when you get married and have kids." Sebastian grunted from the kitchen.
Henry rolled his eyes. " I know that, dickhead. I wouldn't change it but it's nice to get away every now and then."
As Sebastian and Henry bickered back and forth, Christian came and sat down next to Quinn. Christian patted Quinn's knee in greeting then settled back and took a sip of his beer. Shea sat down next to Christian then leaned over and shook Quinn's hand.
" Who are we playing today?" Christian asked, effectively cutting off Henry and Sebastian's bitch fest.
" The Cowgirls," Sebastian replied, setting a bowl of Scoops and the taco dip on the coffee table.
Henry gave up the recliner for Raelynn - which was immediately stolen by Sebastian - who then pulled Raelynn down onto his lap. Henry sent Sebastian a dirty look before folding his long legs to sit on the floor next to the coffee table. Henry dug into the taco dip and moaned.
" Holy shit...this is amazing, who made it?" Henry asked around a mouth full of taco dip.
" I did," Raelynn answered with a pleased smile.
Henry gave her a thumbs up as he stuff his face again. Quinn dug in too. It was really good. Probably one of the best taco dips he's ever had.
The game started and the small apartment got loud. It was mostly Sebastian, Henry and Raelynn. It was obvious Raelynn actually enjoyed the game and wasn't just faking it to please Sebastian. And shit...the way Sebastian looked at her...it was completely obvious the man was head over heels in love with her. Quinn couldn't help but watch the two of them together. They were so perfect for each other. Quinn could definitely see them getting married if Sebastian ever got over his fear of love and marriage.
Sebastian was insanely happy. He had the most gorgeous and perfect woman in his bed almost every night. Bill had made a full recovery and got the shop reopened, so Sebastian was able to go back to work. He wasn't going to Jared as often. He was down to about once every two weeks. Sebastian smiled and laughed often and felt like he was back to his old self. Things were finally going his way.
He had finally admitted to Jared yesterday that he was definitely in a relationship with Raelynn and he had serious feelings for her. Sebastian knew that his feelings were deep and probably fell into the L-word category. He just couldn't bring himself to say it in his head, let alone out loud. But he did agree that him and Raelynn were officially in a relationship and that she was his girlfriend. Jared - the sneaky bastard - had tricked Sebastian. He had made him furiously jealous and had Sebastian shouting at Jared that Raelynn was his girlfriend.
They've been together for four months now. They had slowly starting to do other things together besides sex, like going on dates. How that started, Sebastian had no idea. But it had, and he was glad that it did because they had such a great time whenever they went out. Sebastian felt like he could be himself around her. He held nothing of his personality back from her. She accepted every part of him. Raelynn was just amazing.
Raelynn worked a lot, and got called into work a lot. She had to leave a few times during their dates. But she always made up for it by staying the night at his place if she could. Sebastian couldn't picture his life without her and that scared him to death. He had promised himself that he was never going to be in this position again - having deep feelings for a woman. The thought of marriage even popped into his head a couple times. He quickly dismissed it. No way! Not gonna happen!
Sebastian stepped into the coffee shop that was down the street from his job. He wanted a muffin and a cup of coffee before going into work. He had just finished paying when he caught a flash of blonde out of the corner of his eye. When Sebastian glanced to the side, he saw Raelynn walking into the coffee shop and heading straight down the isle towards a man sitting at a table next to the windows. Sebastian frowned. Who was she meeting? Was it something for work? She was dressed for work in a suit and her wool jacket.
Sebastian watched. Dread pitted in his stomach as Raelynn neared the man sitting reading a book. Sebastian couldn't see his face because he was looking down, but he just seemed familiar. Finally the guy looked up and Sebastian sucked in a sharp breath. It was Jared! She was meeting Jared in a coffee shop at 9am. What the fuck?! The scene just got worse when Jared stood, gave her a warm, almost loving, kiss on the cheek then a tight hug.
Sebastian's heart pounded. What was he seeing? He had known that they knew each other. Raelynn had called Jared her friend. But what if they were more then friends? Could Raelynn be messing around with Jared while she was with Sebastian? Was Sebastian the other guy? Sebastian's anger spiked. How could she do this to him? After everything he'd been through! She had known everything! He told her everything! And Jared, that fucking asshole! After everything Sebastian had admitted to yesterday. Jared was running around behind Sebastian's back, fucking his woman this entir
e time!!!
Sebastian hadn't even realized he moved until he was shoving Jared to the floor. Jared’s wide green eyes stared up at him in shock. But Sebastian didn't know if he was shocked to find himself on the floor or that he had been caught.
" Sebastian!" Raelynn cried. " What are you doing?!" she squawked and moved to help Jared up.
Sebastian swung around to glare daggers at her, stopping her dead. " How could you do this to me?!" Sebastian bit out through clenched teeth. His nostrils flared from the force of his breaths. His hands shook with the anger coursing through him.
Raelynn's mouth worked but nothing came out. She looked at him in confusion. " What are you talking about?" she finally asked. She glanced at Jared, who was getting to his feet.
