CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism. – C.G. Jung
Two weeks later, Lily woke up very early—something she didn’t do unless absolutely necessary—to get ready for Sunnydale’s annual auction event. Apparently, auctions were a much-awaited event in town, because it involved a huge party and gathering where they wore their best dresses and raised funds for a children’s charity program. This year the theme was glam, something everyone was excited about because it involved glitter and such.
Lily had volunteered right away when she had been invited to participate in organizing it, wanting to get absorbed in the town’s excitement. The other women, save for Darla who was busy, had volunteered too, and they all gathered every other day after work to discuss what needed to be prepared. Lily had been sick a couple of weeks back with a stomach flu that caused her to miss two days of work at her new job. She felt awful about it but her new boss was very understanding. She was so glad she was feeling better and could participate in the auction activities.
On Saturday, they gathered early and set everything up as quickly as they could—or rather, made finishing touches to what they already set up the day before. The event called for arrival at late afternoon, just in time for dinner and the auction itself. Just a few hours after noon, the women rushed off back to their houses so they could dress up and get ready, then rushed back to the town’s event hall so they could continue helping out with the sign-ups.
The first person to arrive was Darla, decked out in what had to be the sexiest outfit there was. She had on a sparkly tube dress that showed off her cleavage and red lips that made her stand out and she looked like a beautiful, classy doll. The women whistled as she twirled around before joining them at the registration table. They all complimented each other, with Ethel reeling them back in whenever they got distracted.
One by one, the other guests started arriving, all looking very glamorous. Lily looked on in excitement, remembering the parties she went to in Los Angeles. While those were all about the glamor too, there was just something great about watching simple people with simple lives experiencing an event that obviously excited them—unlike in the city, where this kind of thing was commonplace. It made everything so much more special and Lily couldn’t wait for what was ahead.
The other organizers wandered off to seat the guests and check with the cook regarding the food, leaving Lily behind. She was just taking note of the names on the registration list when a shadow fell on her vision.
She looked up, and her breath caught in her throat.
Sebastian was standing in front of her, pen in hand, as he waited for her to release the registration list. He was wearing a black tuxedo with no bow or tie, and even then, she couldn’t help but notice how well the outfit fit him, molding over his lean frame and making him look as handsome as sin. He had his hair subtly slicked and the smile he gave her felt dangerous and looked absolutely beautiful.
Lily’s heart skipped a beat as their fingers brushed when he took the sheet from her. He leaned down to scribble his name, eyes on hers. She tried not to gulp.
“You really should pay attention to what you’re writing,” she scolded softly.
“I’d rather pay attention to you,” he murmured.
Heat rushed up her spine, making her whole body tingle. Sebastian slid a tiny box in front of her before straightening back up and giving her a nod. Lily glanced around, finding no one staring at them or paying attention. She opened the box. Blinked.
“This is…this is beautiful, Seb,” she breathed out.
Inside the box was a delicate necklace of silver with a blue gemstone in the middle and it was perhaps one of the prettiest piece of jewelry she had ever seen. She turned it over and over in her hand, then looked up at him.
Sebastian smiled. “It would look good on you. May I?”
Lily nodded and stood up. Since it would look suspicious if he placed the necklace on her here, in front of everyone, she let him pull her towards the side where a hall led to one of the area’s restrooms. The men’s restroom was the nearest one and they both glanced around before entering.
The place was empty, so Sebastian didn’t waste any time taking her inside one of the stalls. He took the necklace from her hand.
“Turn around,” he said.
She did as instructed, facing the tiled wall. Lily felt his hands on her neck and the coolness of the pendant settling on her throat and she heard the sound of a click that indicated it was locked in place. His hands, however, did not leave her neck, trailing down until they settled on her shoulders. She felt his mouth move in a whisper over her back.
She knew what he wanted.
Desire spiked inside her but she wanted something else this time. Turning back around, Lily leaned forward to give him a long, slow kiss on the mouth, using her tongue until she felt him grow hard against her stomach. Her hand went down to cup him there, feeling him groan and his own hands wander over her ass. He kissed her back hard and she could feel his hunger for more.
She smiled, drunk in the pleasure. Her hands unbuttoned his tux, then his slacks, sliding it down until she could slide her hand in. He didn’t protest, merely let her, kissing and kissing her until they were drowning in the heat of it.
Then Lily slid his boxers down and kneeled.
*****
She looked too beautiful, so radiant and he simply couldn’t wait to get her alone.
That was the first thing that crossed his mind the moment Sebastian saw her at the registration table alone. He had been meaning to give her the necklace days ago, but his duties kept him busy and away from her. It wasn’t for lack of trying, though. They interacted when they could and a certain kind of comfort grew in their conversations when they talked on the phone at night about anything and everything.
Lily was wearing a dark blue dress, something he knew via subtle questions to Janice, who didn’t suspect a thing. He had then bought the necklace out of town, wanting her to wear something nice. She didn’t need it, though—even without the jewelry, she looked great and her smile kept distracting him.
So he pulled her to the restroom and kissed her, something he had missed doing for quite a while. And like things always were with them, kissing led to wanting more, which was the case when she placed her hand on his erection and started massaging like an eager woman.
He was having such a good time with her bold moves that it took Sebastian a while to realize she had knelt down in front of him. She tugged at his briefs, sliding them down before breathing hotly inches away from his hardness. He grabbed at her hair, trying to be careful with her hairdo, looking down inquisitively.
“What are you doing?” he rasped.
A glint entered her eyes, the embodiment of seduction.
“What I want,” was her murmur before she rubbed the tip of her finger on the tip of his cock, which she then licked. Blood rushed further down his groin.
Then before he could so much as say a word, her mouth came to lick the tip before she enveloped him inside her warm, wet mouth.
Madness.
Absolute madness.
But he ended up being so turned on that instead of tugging her away like he initially planned, he brought her closer, leaning forward as his hand cupped the back of her neck for support. A myriad of sensations gathered inside him, tunneling his focus towards one thing only: the soft, delicious way she sucked at him.
It was obvious she wasn’t an expert at this, but her eagerness more than made up for it. He closed his eyes and groaned, madly lost. She kept going at it, stopping only to lick him from base to tip.
It was enough to drive him crazy and he had to have her.
With a low growl, he tugged her up until she finally let go, kissing her hungrily and with the need to make her go as crazy as him. She moaned in response to his touches and his hands hurriedly tugged her sparkly skirt up and lowered her lace panties down. Apparently, there was a zipper at the side of her dress, which she slid down before she shimmied the top until it pooled at her waist. Lily was wearing no bra, and the sight of her with almost no dress, those heels, and the pendant nestled on her neck made something inside him snap.
In one quick movement, he turned her around and placed her palms on the wall. Then from behind, he guided his cock inside her and thrust hard, pressing her front flat with the force of it. She made a sound and seconds later, he heard the restroom door open.
Sebastian placed one hand on her mouth to cover it. Then he placed the other on her hip and started thrusting.
The pace was slow but it was still mind-numbingly good—thrilling, especially, knowing that they could somehow be caught. Dimly, he could hear the sound of a bowl flushing, footsteps, then the faucet being turned on, then off. More sounds as the hand dryer was used before the restroom door clicked and the footsteps were gone.
It was the only signal he needed.
Sebastian quickened his pace, already too beyond pleasure to stop or even so much as pause. He plunged inside her until his toes started to curl, one hand covering her breast and the other covering her hand on the wall. A shiver started up his spine, running down and tightening his balls. His vision turned dark.
Lily turned her head to the side, and he didn’t hesitate in catching her mouth in a kiss as she sobbed in pleasure. He felt her pulse around him, felt her squeeze him as her orgasm took complete hold of her.
Then he was shattering himself, an explosion that left him mindless and utterly consumed.
Silence followed.
Sebastian kissed her still, then slid his mouth down her shoulder as she slumped towards the wall.
“We need to go,” he said quietly.
Lily’s only response was to turn around and kiss him fully, and he found he couldn’t resist.
*****
When Sebastian returned to the event, minutes after she left, he found himself surrounded by Ethel Green and her friends. Apparently, Matthew didn’t show up because he was sick, and the slot he was slated for at the auction was now vacant and they oh-so-needed to have a replacement right away.
The pleading look in their eyes was something he couldn’t ignore, and so Sebastian asked what the auction for Matthew was about.
“He was the one to be auctioned. A day out in town with the highest bidder, all-expense paid,” Ethel explained.
Sebastian nodded his head. “I’ll do it.”
