“Okay.”
He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close and held my gaze. “I’m going to miss you. I can’t wait to see you on Saturday.”
It felt so good to be in his arms, I felt so safe. “I can’t wait to see you too.”
He leaned down and placed a soft peck on my lips. “I want you to stay with me so badly tonight, but I know if you did I would not be able to control myself.”
“Yeah, it’s probably best if we sleep in our own rooms tonight.” My voice was full of lust as I looked up at him under my lashes. I wanted him so badly.
He leaned down and gave me a longer, more passionate kiss, our tongues sliding over each other as his hands slid down my back and over my butt. He pulled my hips into his and I could feel his arousal as his hands slid up my body, over my breasts and then held my face in his hands. My core was throbbing as I slid my hands through his hair, and pressed my body even closer to his.
He abruptly pulled away from me, instantly breaking our kiss.
“We can’t do this. Not here. We should say goodnight.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my body to his.
“Okay, should we say goodnight like this?” I gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. “Or should we say goodnight like this?” I kissed his other cheek and I could feel his breathing getting more shallow. “Or should we say goodnight like this?” I pulled his mouth down to mine and slid my fingers through his hair as I felt his arousal pressed against me. His lips and tongue trailed down my neck and back up to my earlobe gently nipping it with his teeth before he ran his tongue along the edge of my ear. A soft moan escaped my lips as he slipped his hand beneath my shirt, sliding it up my stomach to my breast, burying his face in my hair.
“Elena, Elena, what are you doing to me?” His whispered words softly caressed my ear. “We should wait.”
I kissed his lips and looked into his eyes. “I don’t want to wait.”
I had never wanted someone as much as I wanted Sebastian and my body ached for him. I didn’t need to be wined and dined before I slept with him, I already knew that he was the man that I wanted to be with and a nice dinner wasn’t going to make that any more or any less true. My feelings for Sebastian had grown immensely since the day I first met him at the gala when he cornered me near the bathroom. He was all I thought about and I knew he felt the same way.
He groaned as he gave in and his thumb gently circled my nipple over the thin fabric of my bra causing it to spring to attention. His other hand slid down over my ass giving it a squeeze as he urged me toward the bed. He kissed me down onto the mattress, pulled my t-shirt off of me and slowly slid his fingers down over my breasts to my shorts and unbuttoned them. I raked my fingers through his hair as his fingers lightly grazed the throbbing area between my legs before he pulled my shorts off of me. I could barely catch my breath as I watched him move over me. His hands slid up my legs, over my panties and I captured his hands with my thighs, moving against them before releasing my grip. A seductive smirk danced at the corner of his mouth as he whispered, “Not yet.” His hands slid around my back to unhook my bra and I raised up slightly to give him better access. In one quick motion my bra was released and the cool air kissed my skin causing my nipples to pucker even more than from Sebastian’s touch.
His eyes were filled with lust as they roamed over my body and settled on my pink lace panties. I hooked my legs around him and pulled him closer to me with a sexy smile on my face. “I think we have to get rid of your clothes too.”
He pulled off his shirt and I sat up and he watched me as I unzipped his pants, pushing them down with his boxer briefs around his ankles so that he could step out of them, and his member sprang free. I sucked in a deep breath as I looked at how big and beautiful he was. I reached out and stroked him gently and a soft hiss escaped from his lips. Before he could stop me I wrapped my lips around him taking him in my mouth, rolling my tongue around the tip and I heard a sharp intake of breath as I sucked him in deeper running my tongue along the shaft. “Ahhh, Elena.” His voice was strained as he grabbed a fistful of my hair and thrust his hips toward me, going deeper down my throat and then he quickly pulled away sliding out of my mouth and pushed me up further on the bed.
In one quick motion he pulled my panties off of me and hooked an arm under each knee leaving my sex completely exposed. He gave me another devilish grin and kissed my inner thigh, slowly licking his way toward my sex and skipping over to my other thigh. My breathing was shallow as my chest heaved up and down waiting for his tongue to touch me in my special place. He took his time tracing around my throbbing core, I began to squirm and then I felt his tongue slowly lick my clit and I raised my hips to meet him. He gently licked and sucked my sex and then he flicked his tongue back and forth over my clit and I began to rock my hips against him, a loud moan escaping my lips. He flattened his tongue, rubbing it back and forth and lifted my ass with both hands to hold me steady as he did things with his tongue that I couldn’t believe.
My thighs were wide open and my body started to quiver; I couldn’t stop it and I didn’t want to. My orgasm rocketed to the surface as I clung to his arms, writhing around on the bed, my breath coming in pants.
“Sebastian…” His eyes met mine, I held my arms out to him and he climbed on top of me never breaking our gaze. “I want you.”
“I want you too.”
He leaned down and kissed me, gliding his fingers through my hair as our tongues slid over each other, tasting and teasing. I ran my hands down his muscular back and his skin felt so smooth under my touch. I wrapped my legs around him and my body was ready for him to easily slip inside of me, but he grabbed my ankle to stop us and reached into his drawer to get a condom. He slid it on and looked at me with lust-filled eyes as I felt him slowly enter me. Pleasure poured through my body as I let out a loud moan and I lifted my hips hooking my legs around his, allowing him to go deeper. He leaned down and kissed me slowly, the rhythm of his thrusts matching the rhythm of his kiss and then he kissed me with more hunger and wanting as his hands slid up to my breasts. He squeezed my breasts, pinching my nipples and I grabbed his arms and held on as I lifted my hips to meet each of his thrusts.
Sebastian then grabbed my hips, impaling me over and over as I moaned uncontrollably as waves of pleasure washed over me. I grabbed his ass pushing him into me deeper and he let out a guttural groan as I saw his face contort with pleasure. He shifted just a little bit so that with each stroke he pressed against my clit. He was banging me hard, holding my shoulder with one hand and pinching my nipple with the other and with one final hard and fast stroke I let out a loud cry as my orgasm flew to the surface. My body quivered uncontrollably and just as I collapsed back onto the bed Sebastian grabbed my hips, pounding me into the mattress and I felt his body tense as he let out a loud grunt and came inside me. He collapsed on top of me, both of us panting for air and the he rolled off of me. After a couple of minutes he turned his head, reached out and caressed my cheek and smiled at me.
“That was amazing. You are amazing Elena.”
I smiled back at him. “You are amazing.”
“I love you, Elena.”
“I love you too.”
He lay there staring at the ceiling for a minute and then he looked at me again. “I never thought I would meet someone like you, you have completely turned my world upside down.”
I held his gaze. “Ditto.”
He hopped out of bed and tossed the condom in the trash and then grabbed his clothes.
“Don’t go. Stay with me tonight.”
“Are you sure, Elena? I have to get up in just a few short hours. I’m leaving much earlier than you and I don’t want to disturb you in the morning.”
“I’m positive, I want to feel your arms around me tonight.”
“There’s nothing more that I want right now.”
We both slept in the nude and it felt so good to feel him right next to me, I just felt right. I drifted off to sleep
happier and more relaxed than I had ever been in my life.
When I woke up the next morning Sebastian was gone but he left a note on the pillow next to me. He told me what a great time he’d had the night before, that he would miss me that week, he couldn’t wait to see me that Saturday and that I would hear from him soon. All I could do was believe him because he was already gone.
The concierge was at my door at 8:00 on the dot and I took a deep breath and looked around my room one last time before I left. I would never forget my time in São Paulo, Brazil.
Chapter Eleven – Blind-sided
We made it back to the States, and thankfully we didn’t have to go into work that day and I went home and literally crashed on my bed. My growling belly woke me up around 8:00 and I threw a frozen dinner in the microwave and curled up on the couch to rifle through my mail when the second letter I saw chilled me to the bone. I hadn’t gotten a letter like that in over 10 months so I foolishly kind of thought the ordeal was finally over. It was from the Corlus County Correctional Facility and I knew that it was from Brian. When is he going to leave me alone? I opened the letter, expecting it to be at least 20 pages long again but this one was different, it wasn’t from Brian.
It was a letter telling me that Brian was going to be released the next day due to good behavior and it was dated a week prior, and if he contacted me I was to contact his parole officer immediately. I felt sick to my stomach and I wanted to call Sebastian but I didn’t know if he was already in Paris, if he was sleeping or if I would even be able to get a message to him. I decided to take a chance and call his cell phone but it went straight to voicemail so I left a message and tried not to sound too frantic.
“Hi Sebastian, I hope you had a safe flight. I was going through my mail and I got a letter from the prison where Brian is being held and they wrote to notify me that he is going to be released tomorrow. You told me to let you know when I heard from him and even though this isn’t exactly from Brian well, it’s about him. I will admit that I am a bit freaked out right now so can you please call me when you have a chance? Thanks.”
I tried to get lost in The Real Housewives of Whatever City but all I could do was sit and stare at the television. Nothing was registering, all I could think about was that Brian would be free the next day and I just knew that he would be coming after me. I would have to file a restraining order or something like that but really, what could a piece of paper do? At 1:00 a.m. I still had not heard from Sebastian so I went to bed trying not to think about what he was doing with Sophia.
The next day, the first thing I did before work was go to the police station and get a restraining order against Brian. When I got to work I was told that I was getting a company car and a parking spot in the building. I was so psyched. No more having to rely on Miami’s public transportation. I threw myself into work and I didn’t hear from Sebastian all day. So I had two things going through my head: one, I was sick about Brian and I jumped every time the phone rang, and two, I was sick about what Sebastian and Sophia were up to and I jumped every time the phone rang. So basically I was a total mess that day and I couldn’t wait to go home.
When I finally made it home I called my parents and told them that Brian was out. My dad was pissed.
“What?! They just wrote you about this a week ago? I’m going to have our attorney call the warden first thing tomorrow morning. They have to give more than a week’s notice, this is ridiculous!”
“Daddy, calm down, I got a restraining order today so I should be fine.”
"Honey if anything happens, you pick up the phone and you call us immediately and we will be there as fast as we can. In the meantime, Elena, please be careful.” I hated that my dad sounded so worried about me.
“Yes honey, if anything happens, call us no matter what time it is.”
“I will daddy, I promise. Mom, don’t worry.”
I tried to lighten the mood by telling them about my trip to Brazil but I decided to leave out the part about Sebastian until I knew where things were really going with us. I didn’t want to tell them that their daughter was seriously interested in her boss until I knew that there was something real between us. I would save that conversation for another time.
After I talked to my parents I called Chloe.
“Hey! You’re back! So, how was it?”
“Chloe, it was so awesome, São Paulo was so interesting, I loved it.”
“What’s wrong? I can hear it in your voice.”
My friend knew me so well. “Brian was released today.”
“What?! You have got to be kidding! Why? He’s supposed to be in for at least another six years or something like that.”
"The letter said he was being released due to his good behavior. Can you believe that? His good behavior! So I went to the police first thing this morning to get a restraining order against him.”
“You should get a gun, Elena, I’m serious. He is crazy.”
"Chloe, I'm not going to get a gun. I got the restraining order and I'm just going to live my life. I can't be afraid of him every day for the rest of my life, that’s no way to live. Besides, I knew that this day would come eventually and Dr. Donnelly told me to do exactly what I did and just to live my life, so that's what I'm going to do. I have a great alarm system here in this apartment and it’s a secure building, so I will just keep my eyes open and watch my back.”
“If that jerk shows up, I’m going to kill him. I mean it Elena, he’s put you through enough.”
“I know, thanks, but I don’t want you to go to jail or anything, silly.”
“Elena, this is not something to take lightly, I remember what he did to you and I don’t want you to have to deal with that idiot anymore. Let’s just hope he leaves you alone.”
“Yeah.” I was silent for a few seconds and so was she and I could feel her worrying through the telephone so I changed the subject to lighten the mood.
“So, did I happen to mention that I flew private with Sebastian to São Paulo?”
“Hold on, let me process this! First of all, you call him Sebastian? Second, you flew with him in the private jet just the two of you? Why didn’t you tell me this the second you got home? That is urgent information!”
I wasn’t sure at first if I should tell her but then the more I thought about it I decided that I could tell her because Chloe had never betrayed my confidence in anyway, ever in our lives. I trusted her 100%. Besides, it was good to be able to tell someone about what was going on with him because it was hard for me to keep all of it inside and not be able to share my feelings about him with someone. But, I wasn’t going to share too much information about him just yet.
I couldn’t help but giggle at her excitement. “Yes, it was just the two of us and it was so amazing to be on a private plane.”
“Forget the plane! Tell me about him! When did you start calling him Sebastian?”
“Oh that, that’s not really a big deal. He actually prefers that everyone call him Sebastian instead of Mr. Blu.”
“Okay, and? I know there’s more info that you’re keeping from me so spill it girl!”
“There’s really nothing more to add, I think he just wanted to make sure that I was completely filled in on what to expect with the clients in São Paulo so it was a good time for us to kind of go over everything and make sure that I understood what was expected.”
“Elena Marie Sumner, I have known you forever and a day and I know that you are not going to sit here on this telephone and lie to me about this gorgeous man. There is no way that there is not more to this story. Well? I’m waiting.”
“Chloe, it’s not a big deal so don’t blow it out of proportion.”
“Oh my gosh! He likes you, doesn’t he?”
I wasn’t ready to share that info just yet so I totally downplayed it. “No, nothing like that, he’s just a very friendly person and I think he likes to flirt because I swear you could have beat all the women around him off with a stick. They seemed to be coming out
of the woodwork, there were so many of them. One thing I will say is Mr. Blu is not lacking in female attention. So no, nothing really going on there with me and him.”
I felt kind of bad that I was lying to my friend but I didn’t want to share anymore than I already had. I wasn’t sure it was really going to go anywhere and I didn’t want to get her hopes up, or mine. If things ever worked out with us I would just explain to Chloe that I couldn’t tell her at the time and I was sure, or at least I hoped, that she would be okay with it.
“Hmmm, I guess I’ll let it go for now but I want to be the first to know if he comes on to you.”
I smiled through the phone. “I promise you will be the first to know. So, how was your week? Anything new going on?”
“Not really, it’s been a busy week but pretty quiet. Mike and I are going to Puerto Rico in a couple of months but that’s all that’s really going on.”
