CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Sebastian

I got home first and picked up the apartment. I checked to make sure that I had wine in the fridge and paced the living room as I waited for her.

I’d been inside of Emery three times at my Dad’s house and it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t wait for her to arrive and I looked at the clock before I walked over to the windows of my place. It was late afternoon and the sun would be setting soon. What a perfect backdrop as I took her against this window and I stirred in my jeans at the idea.

I heard the phone in the kitchen ringing and walked over to pick up. It was the front desk announcing that Emery was here, and I told him to add her to the list of guests. I wanted her here more than anyone else. I walked to the door to wait for her, feeling something inside that was new to me. When there was a soft knock, I threw the door open and pulled her inside into my arms. I kicked the door closed and fused my mouth to hers as I pushed her against the wall.

Emery dropped her purse to the floor and wrapped her arms around my neck. I slid my tongue through the part in her lips and she moaned against me.

“Come here,” I told her, pulling her across the room to the window. The sky was staring to turn shades of pink and orange and she stared for a moment.

“It’s beautiful.” Emery turned to look at me and smiled. “I missed you, Sebastian. This week. I missed you.”

“I missed you.” I kissed her again, and she gripped my shirt as she tugged me closer. I ended up on my knees in front of her, eating that sweet pussy as the sun set. She cried out my name with no abandon before I scooped her up to carry her to my room.

I ripped all her clothes off before I told her to get on the bed. Emery laughed as she dropped down to the mattress and looked me over.

“What are we going to do about this?’ She asked as I kicked my pants off. “I am moving to Boston.”

“It’s not that far. You can come into the city and stay with me, maybe I can come out there and get a hotel.” I stalked towards her as she widened her eyes, pressing her down to the bed for a heated kiss. Our tongues danced as she pulled me closer, filling me with something warm. I kept kissing her and tasting her until she wriggled underneath me.

“Move to your back,” Emery told me, watching me with a hungry gaze as I did. She moved between my legs and I stiffened as I realized what she was going to do to me. I remembered the night with the other woman where I’d imagined Emery in her place and guilt washed through me. I closed my eyes as warmth covered my cock, lost in the sensation. I slipped my hand into her curls, loving the feel if her hair in my hands. She was new to this, but she listened for guidance as I stared down at her. I would never want another woman again as I felt the urge to come rising.

“Baby. I am so close. I want to be inside of you.” Emery looked at me with wide eyes as I urged her away from me. I turned her over, too eager to be inside of her to think about anything else. I slipped in, feeling how deep I went as I moaned. I kissed Emery as I buried myself, memorizing her heat. I rocked out and back in as she nipped at my jaw and clawed at my back. We were rocking together, and she started to come as I jerked inside of her. It was hot, and I tensed as I felt her wash over me, realizing my mistake as I started to come. It felt so good and I knew why as I looked down at her twisted face. “Emery. Damn it. I forgot to put a condom on.”

She froze as our eyes locked.

“I am so sorry. Are you on something?” I asked her as she licked her lips.

“I am… for pain. I didn’t think either. It’s okay.” I breathed a sigh of relief as I dropped beside her, gathering her close. “Are you clean?”

“I’ve never been with anyone without a condom before now. I get checked regularly just to be sure. I am clean, Em.” She smiled at me as I looked at her in the light of the dimming sky.

“Imagine if I got pregnant,” she murmured softly as we both froze. “I mean… I don’t want that. Not yet.” I heard the panic in her voice and knew that she meant not with me.

Why the fuck did that bother me?

We fucked several more times throughout the next day or so. I knew that I was getting closer to Emery each time when we should be trying to stay apart. I didn’t know how this was going to end but I realized that I didn’t want it to.

I kissed her goodbye at my door, so she could head home to get some sleep. We were going to see each other in two nights and she planned to bring some clothes and leave for work in the morning. I couldn’t wait to spend the night with her again.

I spent long hours at work all week. The thing with Emery was troubling, but it didn’t stop me from sending her flirty texts and building on this attraction. I focused so much on that and realized that I wasn’t interested in any other women. I wasn’t even looking for a quick fuck any more.

We were in my bed together, knowing that we were going to sleep together. Things felt safe here with her. I knew that we wouldn’t get caught and my father hardly dropped by to put us at risk. Her mom rarely left his side.

I thought ahead to her move. It would get more complicated, but we could see each other. I was lost in thought when she stirred in my arms.

“Are you okay?” I asked as I looked down at her.

“After that night with you, I didn’t want to go out and sleep with other men. Mollie thought I would, but I didn’t. Is that normal? Was it like that for you?” I froze at her question, knowing that I was in bed with another woman days later. “Sebastian?” Emery looked at me and I blinked at her.

“It was, Emery. It was, but… I went out with some friends that week and slept with someone else.” I don’t know why I told her that as her face fell. “I didn’t think I’d see you again. We left things at my door that morning and you didn’t seem to want more.”

“I was confused. I didn’t think you’d be with someone that quickly.” I saw the hurt in her eyes and reached over to stroke her cheek. “Emery. I thought it was just an auction to you.”

“It comes easily to you. Sex, I mean. Even though I was on the stage at the auction, it wasn’t easy for me. I was there because… I was there because my ex tried to force me to sleep with him. I was there because I wanted it over with and I needed the memory of him erased from my mind.” Her eyes shimmered in the light from the moon. “Now, you’re back in my life and I don’t know what it means.”

“It means we have a second chance.” I kissed her then, needing to prove to her how much I wanted her. I made love to Emery and fell asleep soon after, exhausted from a long week.

When I woke up in the morning, my bed was empty. Emery was gone. I searched the apartment and hit the glass on my fridge door angrily when I knew that she was gone. I fucked up, but I didn’t know that I was going to see her again. I had no way of knowing that and I needed to tell her that.

I tried to reach her the rest of the week but calls and texts went unanswered. I couldn’t ask Dad about her without raising suspicion since we barely knew one another in his eyes.

Emery was going to move to fucking Boston and leave me hanging. Fuck me.
