I have no idea what she’s playing at, but I’m sure as hell going to have words with her when I’m back in the office.
Picking my phone up, both texts are from Jacky and one is a picture message titled, ‘What you’re missing’. Before I can delete it, the picture opens of a naked Jacky standing in front of a mirror.
I quickly press delete and add her to the top of my mental calendar – different department or different company. I’d prefer the latter, but I hold myself at fault for leading her on to begin with.
Walking back into the bedroom, Carla is curled up on her side fast asleep.
Chapter 33
Carla
I’m dreaming. There is a god on top of me making sweet love to my body. Sliding in and out of my channel, causing a delicious friction.
Then the God says, “Wake up Carla. I want you awake when I come inside you.” My eyes fly open and are met by a grinning Sebastian.
I start to giggle, which ends on a groan when he sucks a nipple into his mouth, massaging it against the roof of his mouth with his tongue.
He lets it plop out of his mouth. “You were so sexy lying without any cover. Your legs spread showing me your glistening pussy. I couldn’t resist you.”
“Hmm, I was dreaming that a god was making sweet love to me…I guess I was right.”
I move to wrap my legs around his hips, but he stops me and keeping his cock inside, straddles my legs, which makes my channel so tight.
He continues to move slightly, more of a rocking really. I stretch my arms out behind me at the same time as I arch my back and start coming apart in a slow burst of delicious tingles. My channel clenching and releasing Sebastian’s gliding cock, which sets his release off.
“Carla,” Sebastian groans, holding still.
When I feel him start to calm down, he drops his forehead against mine. “It’s never been like that before. Never.”
He slides out of me before pulling me into his arms as our legs tangle.
“That was amazing. I could get used to waking up like that.”
He chuckles. “Oh, you could. Could you?”
I kiss his chest. “Most defiantly.”
Lying in his arms makes all the worries disappear, replacing it with happiness and gives me a future to hold on to while all the crap of my past keeps interfering.
I fear the worse with Gary. He’s not going to stop unless he’s stopped and I’m terrified someone else is going to get caught in the crossfire.
Holding on to Sebastian even tighter, I try to shut my mind down so I can relax into sleep, but I don’t think that’s in the cards for this morning.
“You’re thinking too hard,” Sebastian mumbles with his eyes closed.
Rising up, I rest my chin on his chest and admit, “I’m scared Seb. I think Gary is going to come after me again and I’m frightened you or someone else is going to get hurt trying to protect me.” I try to blink away the tears, but Sebastian catches them with his thumbs.
“I’m not going to let anything else happen to you.” He pulls me back down on to his chest. “He’s not going to get the chance to do anything to you because from now on you don’t go anywhere without me or one of my brothers.”
“But–” I try and interrupt.
“My brothers and me all grew up fighting,” he chuckles, “and I don’t just mean with each other. Dad had a couple of bags we helped him string up in the barn that we used to kick the shit out of so there’d be less chance of us getting in trouble with the law. The McKenzie men have a temper. So, don’t worry that pretty little head of yours over us, we can take care of you and ourselves just fine, babe.”
Listening to Sebastian does reassure me some, but there’s still the worry at the back of my mind that Gary will get to me, or them.
“Tell me about him.” He asks stroking my back before lingering on my butt.
“You really want to hear about him?” I lift my head to look at him.
“Not really,” his hand tightens on me, “but it might help to know what he’s like.”
I’m not too sure about that, but decide to start with my brother.
“All my life I’ve been good. First of all I did what my parents wanted, and then after they died of smoke inhalation at a fire at our house, I did what Noah wanted. Anything to keep the peace.”
“I had no idea your parents died in a fire.”
“They weren’t supposed to be there. When the fire started, Noah got me out of the house and wrapped us up in a blanket as we watched the house burn. It was an hour later before we found out our parents had been in the house.” I catch a tear, which is on its way down my cheek. “Noah has always lived with the guilt that he didn’t save them. That he left them to burn. It wasn’t his fault. They’d told us they were staying in the hotel overnight, where the reunion was being held. I guess something changed, but we never found out what.”
I kiss Sebastian’s chest trying to get closer to him. He makes me feel so secure wrapped tight in his arms.
“Noah, had just finished college and used the insurance money to basically take care of us and he put me through school and college. He gave up a lot for me and now he’s out there and I don’t know if he’s safe.”
Sebastian puts his hand under my chin and lifts my face to his, giving me a sweet kiss. “I’m sorry you both had it rough, but please tell me how Gary fits into all this.”
I nod and rest against his chest again. “I met Gary when I was in college and we had an off again, on again relationship. Noah never liked him and kept telling me to stay clear. We kind of fizzled apart and then a few years went by when I bumped into him again in a club on a night out with friends and I guess one thing led to another and we were involved again.”
It’s clear that Sebastian doesn’t like this story now as he’s started to tighten up.
“He was more possessive than he had been in the past, but I didn’t think that much of it at first until he started to threaten me. It was at this point I broke up with him and told him to stay away. I think he would have attacked me then and there if it weren’t for Noah walking in when he did. Not long after Noah discovered Gary was into drugs in a big way, not just as a user, but also as a distributor. So he informed a friend of his in the drug squad about him and they set up a sting. He got out on bail, came looking for Noah, but found me instead and used me for his punching bag.”
I close my eyes trying to block out the memories of his fists raining down on me. I shudder and continue, “That’s how I ended up here. Noah had been working with Ramon so I thought I’d come down here only Noah was gone. So Ramon took me in, he’d already hired a private investigator to find Noah. It made sense for me to live with him and we told everyone we were involved to keep everyone off Ramon’s back, plus he didn’t want people getting the wrong idea about me without him seemingly committed to me. And here we are, I’m lying in bed with the man I love and I really don’t want to get up, but we promised to visit Lily today so we need to shower and get some breakfast.”
“You’ve left me speechless, baby.” He kisses my nose. “I need to think about what you’ve said and I’ll talk to Ramon about upping the search for Noah.”
Sebastian slowly kisses my cheeks and each of my eyes as I melt into him with a sigh. Suddenly, Sebastian flips me onto my back and looms over me offering me a wicked grin before sealing our lips together.
Chapter 34
Sebastian
Lily has a private room in the hospital, not because of Michael’s wealth, but because she had twins. Speaking to my brother this morning he’d sounded worn out, which doesn’t surprise me with him not sleeping the past few nights through worrying about his wife and then with the arrival and the twins wanting feeding.
Going into the delivery room yesterday to see Lily had been a huge mistake. Seeing her in so much pain nearly had me losing the contents of my stomach, which made me realize it must be ten times worse for Michael and pretty close for Lucien.
Not wanting
to act like a pussy, I’d stayed and waited patiently for the nurse to kick us out, which she’d done after taking one look at Ruben who looked green.
At least he’d looked worse than me, which made me smile.
“Hey, what are you grinning at?” Carla asks, squeezing my hand.
“I was thinking about the color Ruben changed to when he caught sight of Lily in the delivery room yesterday. My tough as nails brother nearly keeled over. Funny as hell and something I’m going to enjoy teasing him about.” I laugh.
Carla rolls her eyes. “Boys will be boys.”
I quickly grab her up in my arms and kiss the life out of her before setting her back on her feet. She’s so damn cute with the blush on her face that I put there.
Chuckling, I open the door to Lily’s room and drag Carla inside with me to find Lily sitting up in bed with both babies cuddling in her arms, which are supported with pillows.
No sign of Michael though.
“I made him go home to shower and change. He’ll be back soon, that I’m sure of,” Lily tells us, smiling and practically glowing from happiness.
Carla releases my hand and walks to one side of the bed. “How are you feeling?”
Reaching out she strokes the cheek of Charlotte, unable to reach Michael Jr.
“I’m fine. A bit sore, but what do I expect having shoved these two out. I guess I need to be thankful I had twins because Michael said we aren’t having anymore after the experience he had yesterday.” She snickers. “I mean it wasn’t as though he had to carry them for nearly nine months, or go through all that pain, which was so worth it. In case you’re wondering, Sebastian.”
I wince. “Can we not talk about the delivery part, I’ve just eaten.”
“Ignore him Lily and please tell me I can have a cuddle from one of your little babies.”
“You sure can. Do you want to take Charlotte as she’s the closest?”
Carla moves in and takes Charlotte, very gently, into her arms before sitting back in the armchair to the side of the bed.
Snuggling Charlotte closer, I watch, as Carla gets lost in the baby when it hits me that I want what Michael has. I’ve already told everyone that I intend to marry Carla, and then we can talk about babies. I’m not sure how the hell I’ll get through her labor, but Michael isn’t outdoing me. At least the twin gene is from Lily’s side of the family and not the McKenzie.
Looking back towards Lily, she’s watching me with ‘that look’ in her eyes. The same one Mom always wears when she’s scheming.
I laugh. “Lily, you can get that look off your face. You missed it yesterday, but I’ve already announced to the family that I plan on marrying Carla,” I meet Carla’s eyes, “but I’ll be asking in a setting she won’t ever forget.”
Hearing sniffling, I turn back to Lily whose crying. “That was so gorgeous. I knew you just needed the right woman to get you on the straight and narrow.”
Carla starts laughing. “Oh, he’s on the straight and narrow now.”
“Lily, what’s wrong?” Michael asks, coming into the room before dashing to his wife.
“Your brother.”
Michael straightens and looks at me as though he wants my head in a noose.
Fuck. “Um, Lily. You might want to rephrase that.”
“Sorry,” she chuckles. “Michael, your brother has finally found ‘the’ woman for him.” Michael still looks clueless.
“What Lily is trying to tell you is that I’m planning on marrying Carla, once I’ve asked her.”
“You’re serious,” he says taking his son from Lily before sitting beside her on the bed. “Wow. I bet Mom’s already planned your wedding,” he laughs turning to Carla. “You have to be firm with her Carla. Tell her she can help, but it’s your wedding. She’ll completely take over otherwise. She won’t mean to, she’ll just get carried away.”
“I’ll remember that. Sebastian come and say hello to your niece.”
Okay. Why does that thought make me want to run out of the room?
Michael roars with laughter. “Brother, you are not frightened of a little baby. Are you?”
“Be glad we’re in the hospital and there are babies present, brother.”
Ignoring Michael now, I walk over and perch on the arm of Carla’s chair and take my first proper look at Charlotte. She’s like her mommy with a head of dark hair and a sprinkling of freckles over her nose. I wrap my arm around Carla and caress Charlotte’s head. She’s beautiful and I’m not biased at all being her uncle. Well, maybe a little bit.
“I never thought I’d see the day when you went all gaga over a baby.” Michael cuddles his son between him and Lily while watching Carla and me.
“I’ve never been an uncle before, so no need for it. Besides I kind of like the idea of a baby girl, perhaps we could keep Charlotte, that way I don’t have to go through what Michael went through,” I tease. He’s my brother, what does he expect?
“You can have your own because I want you to know what it’s like watching your babies come into the world, although I had to try and switch off from the fact they come out of the same place we shove our…well you know,” he finishes lamely after a glare from Lily just as Mom pushes her way through the door.
“Michael, I hope you weren’t about to say what I think you were.”
“No ma’am,” he groans, then bends and kisses Lily.
Unable to resist my woman, I kiss her neck and feel a shiver run through her. After Michael going on about women’s parts, I can’t get Carla’s out of my head or what it felt like being sheathed to the hilt inside her.
Shit. These thoughts are going to become embarrassing.
“Carla, let’s go for a walk to get coffee and let granny have some time with the babies.”
“Okay,” she says passing Charlotte to my hovering Mom before standing and letting my Mom sit in her seat.
“We’ll be back soon.”
I practically drag her out of the room followed by Michael’s laughter.
Chapter 35
Carla
What the hell has gotten into Sebastian? He practically dragged me out of Lily’s room and now he’s dragging me down the hallway as though there’s a fire.
He looks through the window to a room. “In here,” he says, pushing the door open before pulling me inside and out of view of the window.
“Sebasti–”
He slams his mouth to mine and pushes me up against the wall, grabbing my thighs he hoists me up so I wrap my legs around him coming into contact with his huge swollen cock, making my eyes open wide. I had no idea he was so aroused.
I shove my fingers into his hair, holding his mouth to me. The things he does with his tongue has me wet and aching.
“I need you babe.”
He lets my feet hit the floor, unzips me, shoving my jeans and thong down my legs before releasing his cock, which is already wet at the tip.
I can’t take my eyes off him as he jerks with arousal and takes hold of himself, pulling back to the root of him and holding there.
“Carla,” he says between gritted teeth, “I’m going to come the minute I get inside you.”
That’s the only warning I get. He spins me around. I place my hands on the wall as he pulls my hips towards him before thrusting inside me.
He feels so good, filling me up, which sets off little electric shocks along my channel.
Letting go of my hips, he wraps me up in his arms and slides his hands up inside my top, shoving my bra above my breasts and starts massaging and pinching my nipples.
“Hmm,” I moan resting my head on his shoulder behind me.
My breath catches as he pulls most of the way out of me, leaving just the tip inside.
“I’m going to fuck your cunt now.”
Oh God!
He starts pumping his hips in and out of me. One hand stays on my nipple while the other moves to my clit. The minute he touches me between my legs, he pinches my nipple and I explode. Seeing stars, I can’t stop c
limaxing. My channel grips Sebastian’s cock. My muscles rippling up and down the length of him.
Cursing, he pulls out shoving his fingers inside me to ride out my orgasm. I feel his other hand take hold of his cock, which is pressed against my ass before turning my head and watching him ejaculate on the floor.
Unable to catch my breath, I stay resting against the wall as he removes his fingers from inside me. I hear Sebastian putting himself back together before he bends and pulls my thong and jeans back up then he turns me around to fasten them.
He kisses my lips, pulling me back into his arms. “God, did I need you…but shit, it would have been too messy if I came inside you here.”
“I know.”
I love him coming inside me. It makes me feel even more connected to him than just having his dick inside me.
“You like my words, baby?” he whispers into my ear, rubbing my ass and pushing me against him.
“You can’t be ready to go again?”
“I’m always ready with you, and answer the question,” he chuckles.
Why I blush when he uses those naughty words, I don’t know, but I do and now I probably look like a tomato.
“You’re not saying anything, but I’ll let you off the hook for now because I know you find them as hot as I do when I use them and I bet if I touch your pussy it will be wet and not just from the orgasm you’ve just had.”
Breaking away from him, I smack his arm. “Stop embarrassing me.” I try to leave the room, but he catches me around the waist.
“I’ll be using those words again the next time I’m buried deep inside you,” he whispers in my ear. “Your little cunt will tell me how much dirty talk turns you on.”
My body feels alive again. He’s just brought me to orgasm, and I already need him again. His words do turn me on, although I’m not used to hearing them when referring to my body parts. Oh, I’ve seen them in enough books that I’ve read, in fact Bared to You comes to mind, but God, Sebastian is right. Hearing those words turns me on something wicked.
