BRYAN

 

We went to a quaint little restaurant right around the corner and I barely had time to take my seat before Eva started in with the office gossip.  She told me who was hooking up with whom and who was on the verge of being fired.  It was all pure gold.

 

We had been chatting for about 30 minutes and I got a really good vibe from her.  I felt that she was someone I could trust so I had to ask about the bitchy guy who showed me to my office.

 

“Hey, what is the deal with Kellan?  He was giving me major attitude this morning.”

 

She rolled her eyes and it was obvious she couldn’t stand him.

 

“He’s probably pissed that you got the assistant position.  He has been trying to work for Sebastian forever but for all the wrong reasons.  Two years ago he made a huge fool of himself at the Christmas party, got sloppy drunk and tried to kiss Sebastian in front of everyone.  I was really surprised he didn’t fire him but I guess his father knows Kellan’s father and he agreed to let him stay as a favor to him.”

 

“Oh, so that explains why he was so…aloof.”

 

“Yeah, I wouldn’t give him a second thought.  You have hit the jackpot and if you really want to be a designer, there is no better place for you to be.  My aunt is a design genius and I am sure you know she has designed for many celebrities, kings and sheiks.  Her talent is in demand all over the world.  Even though she is publicly retired, she is always available to those in the know.”

 

“I was going to ask you about the cousin connection.  So you really are Sebastian’s cousin?”

 

She raised an eyebrow at me giving me a curious look.  “Sebastian?  Are we on a first name basis already?  Is there something I should know?”

 

I instantly felt my cheeks get warm and knew they must have been bright red.  I was mortified that I had said Sebastian’s first name to a virtual stranger.  The last thing I needed was rumors being spread about me on my first day.

 

“No, no, I meant to say Mr. Blocke.”  I stammered over my words.

 

“Relax Bryan, I was just teasing.  But judging by the look on your face it looks like I hit a nerve.  Let me give you some unsolicited advice.  Tread very carefully with my cousin.  He has a voracious appetite and you are just the type he will gobble up and toss aside when he is done.  Don’t let him get too close; he is a master manipulator.  I am not trying to trash my cousin; I love him and he is family.  But I know him better than almost anyone and he has a reputation for loving them and leaving them.  No one has ever truly captured his heart.  When I said everyone is trying to land him, I meant it.  His contact list is long and he uses it quite often.  I don’t want you to be just another conquest for him.  I can tell you’ve got a good spirit and you deserve an amazing man.  So just be careful there.”

 

As her words sank in I thought about the past three times we had been together and yeah, Sebastian was arrogant, but I didn’t get all the other stuff Eva was saying about him.  I thought about how sweet he was to me the night we went to dinner and then I remembered that he had lied to me for a couple of weeks and he seemed to be able to do it so easily.  I was confused and didn’t know what to believe.  My ears heard everything Eva said but my heart was a different story.

 

I winked at her.  “Got it, let’s change the subject.”  Things were starting to get heavy and I needed a breather.  “Tell me more about you.  Where did you grow up, how did you choose design?”

 

We chatted for a few more minutes and I learned that Eva grew up with Sebastian and Sebastian’s younger brother, Tyler, in his house. When Eva was five she moved in with her aunt and uncle after a drunk driver killed her mom and dad; so she, Sebastian and Tyler were really more like siblings.  Eva had just started dating a new guy and so far things were going well.  She said she had to be careful that people were not after her for her money.  Apparently she had inherited a nice lump sum from her aunt and uncle when she turned 25. 

 

Before I knew it our lunch hour was over and it was time to get back to work.  Sebastian had a stack of folders waiting for me on my desk that I needed to go through.  They were samples of Mrs. Blocke’s work so I could get a handle on what types of designs she liked.  I pored over every detail trying my best to be a human sponge.  A few hours later I started putting together vague ideas for my portfolio when Sebastian summoned me to his office.  It was almost 7:00 so I was assuming he wanted to tell me I could go home for the day.  He was sitting on his couch and he was so focused on what he was reading he didn’t even look up when I walked into his office.

 

“Close the door behind you.”

 

There was something different about his voice, something that made me hunger for him.  I closed the door and stood there waiting for him to tell me what to do next.  He looked up at me and his eyes smoldered.

 

“Come stand in front of me, Bryan.”

 

I didn’t question him, I just did as I was told.

 

His eyes slowly traveled over my body.

 

“Unbutton your shirt.”

 

My eyes frantically searched his which were steady, and fixed on mine.  I didn’t know what to do.

 

“I, um…”, my voice was shaky, but not with fear.  The lust I was feeling was overwhelming.

 

His sapphire blue eyes held mine, and he didn’t flinch as he repeated his words, his voice firm.

 

“Unbutton your shirt, Bryan.  I want to see you.”

 

With trembling fingers I slowly unbuttoned my shirt, my eyes nervously holding his.  I felt sexy as hell as I watched him watch me.  He was completely captivated and I was doing that to him.  My shirt fell open and I put my hands on my hips as his eyes appreciated what they were seeing.

 

“Is this what you wanted to see?”

 

“No.”  His voice was heavy with lust.  “Come closer.”

 

I stepped toward him and he reached up and slipped my shirt off of my shoulders, his fingers trailing along my skin, letting it fall to the floor next to me.

 

“Take off your pants.”

 

I knew he wanted to see me naked and I was completely okay with it.  I decided that I was not going to fight what was happening.  I wanted him and I wasn’t making apologies for it.

 

I slipped off my pants, kicked off my shoes and stood there in my boxer briefs, and I thought Sebastian was literally about to start drooling.

 

“Fuck, you’re sexy,” he whispered as he stood and unbuttoned his shirt.

 

I gently ran my fingers across my chest as my eyes held his gaze.  “Thanks.”

 

His eyes glazed over with lust as he reached for me, pulling me to him, his hands on my hips.  I ran my hands over his taut abs and he looked at me and smiled as he slowly ran his hands over my ass.

 

“Like I said before, you’re going to be trouble,” he growled.

 

He leaned in toward me and his lips touched mine, gently at first and then with more passion.  His tongue swept over mine and I raked my fingers through his thick hair pressing my body closer to his.  He was easily the best kisser I had ever been with and a soft groan escaped his lips as I pressed my chest against his, my arms wrapping around his neck.  He slowly leaned against me and we ended up lying down on the couch.

 

Sebastian tucked me underneath him and I wrapped my legs around him.  His hands ran down my sides and under my ass, giving it a squeeze before lightly rubbing up my stomach and over my chest.  I let out a soft moan as Sebastian pinched and twisted my nipples. 

 

I raised my hips and wrapped my legs a little bit tighter around his legs, and I heard Sebastian suck in air as his hard length pressed against mine.  I rubbed my hands over his ass pressing him into me as he kissed my neck.  His tongue ran along my neck to my earlobe and he gently licked it sending chills down my arms.  We were both panting as we explored each other and his lips crashed down onto mine.  He squeezed my ass and I started to slip my hand down to his belt when he broke away from the kiss and grabbed my wrist, panting heavily.

 

“Are you okay on this couch?”

 

I was no virgin but I also was not the kind of omega to have sex with an alpha so soon; that just wasn’t me.  But there was something about Sebastian I couldn’t resist, and I didn’t want to.

 

“Yes,” I panted.  The couch was huge.  It was plush and deep and we both easily fit with room to spare.  He looked at me giving me a gentle smile.

 

“Are you sure you want to do this?  I don’t want you to feel like things are moving too fast.”

 

I gently held his face in my hands and looked him in the eye.

 

“I am sure.”

 

I pulled him down to me for a kiss and he groaned as he ran his hands down my sides to my thighs, giving them a squeeze and then slid his hands back up to my briefs.  He hooked his thumbs under the thick band and I raised my hips as he slowly pulled them off of me.  He lightly stroked my legs down to my ankles and then back up avoiding my erect dick.

 

I felt his tongue on my inner thigh making its way up and I held my breath as he got closer to my throbbing member.  I could feel a bit of liquid oozing from my slit and his tongue lightly licked it away as his hand softly stroked my shaft.

 

“Oh, Sebastian,” I softly moaned as my legs trembled.  I buried my hands in his hair as his warm mouth inhaled my full length.  My knees fell open giving him better access and his tongue licked one nut and then the other, rolling them around in his mouth.  He stroked my shaft and then followed his fingers with his tongue, licking my slit.  He took the whole head in his mouth, swirling his tongue around the ridge and then he took me all the way in.  I sucked in a sharp breath as the tip of my dick touched the back of his throat.  He began to move up and down and I could feel my face contort with pleasure as he sucked and licked my stiff member.  He repeatedly sucked me all the way in, then backed off nearly to the tip and plunged me into his mouth touching the back of his throat.  The third time he did this I couldn’t hold back anymore and I shot into his mouth.  He sucked off every last drop of me and I literally collapsed back onto the couch gasping in ecstasy.

 

“Ah, Sebastian!”

 

He pulled off his pants, climbed on top of me and leaned down and kissed me.

 

“Was that good?” he asked with a wry smile.

 

I reached up and grabbed his face as I grinned at him, still trying to catch my breath.

 

“You know it was,” I said as I pulled him down for another kiss, tasting myself on his tongue.

 

He walked over to his desk and pulled lube and condoms out of the drawer before coming back over to me.

 

“Are you ready for more?”  He asked as he rolled a condom onto his steel dick and squeezed a generous amount of lube in his hand. 

 

“Yes,” I hissed, barely able to breathe as he rubbed his hands together, warming up the lube.

 

He gave me a sexy, hungry grin.  “Good.”

 

I gasped as he reached his hands down between us and I felt his finger pressing against my tight pucker.  I slowly began to writhe against his finger when he slipped another in and began scissoring.

 

I grabbed onto his shoulders and he bent down to kiss me as he worked in a third finger, slowly twisting them to open me up.  He was holding his dick in a death grip with his other hand and I could see in his face that he was struggling to hold back.

 

“Come on baby, I’m ready for you,” I whispered against his lips.

 

His eyes gleamed at me as he removed his fingers and guided the lube-covered head of his sheathed cock into my tight hole.  I was tense at first but was able to relax as Sebastian gently kissed me.

 

“Don’t worry, Bryan, I won’t hurt you.  If anything is too much just tell me to stop, and I will.”

 

“Okay,” I panted as I felt him push past my tight ring of muscle and slide deeper into me.  He held still for a minute and I began to slowly move my hips, taking him in even more.

 

He groaned as I clenched my ass muscles around his dick, and wrapped my legs around his waist.  He grabbed my hips as I held onto his arms and slowly pulled out, almost to the tip, before sliding back into me.  I pushed back against him with each pump of his hips, falling into perfect rhythm with him, barely able to catch my breath.  He thrust into me harder and faster with each pump of his hips and reached down and stroked my cock in rhythm with his thrusts.

 

He held me against him as he hammered into me, and I felt his body tense up as he stroked my cock at lightning speed.  I couldn’t hold back and just as he let out a guttural growl and released into me, my muscles tightened around his cock milking every last drop as my body jerked uncontrollably and I spurted ribbons of cream.

 

Sebastian carefully pulled out, took off the condom, tossed it into the trash basket next to the couch and collapsed next to me.  We lay there like that for a couple of minutes trying to catch our breath.  He looked at me and gently caressed my cheek.  He was such a strong and sexy alpha, I could barely think as he touched me.

 

We lay there for a few minutes not saying anything and it began to sink in that I had just had sex with my boss.  Amazing, mind-blowing sex, but he was my boss.  I glanced over at him and he was staring at the ceiling.  A mini panic set in as I wondered if I had just ruined my career before it had even started.

 

Sebastian looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes and I swear I saw a little twinkle.

 

“I’m going to break the rules and make an executive decision,” he panted.

 

My heart began to bang against my chest wall.  He was going to let me go.  Before I had time to beat myself up about it his words calmed all my fears.

 

“You have the job, Bryan, you’re coming with me to Paris.  I am going to give you an assignment to complete before we go.  Mother will be able to see your vision much more easily this way, and once you complete the assignment we can move on to much bigger things.”

 

I looked at him kind of surprised.  “Oh, wow!  Thank you, Sebastian.”

 

He propped himself up on his elbow and gave me a serious look.

 

“You’re welcome.  I’m looking forward to seeing what else you can do.”

 

I gave him a flirty smirk.

 

“What else I can do?”

 

“Yes.  You’re magic in bed and I want to see if everything you touch turns to gold.”

 

I could feel myself blushing, I had never been told I was magic in bed.  I could barely think after that comment so I changed the subject.  “What’s this assignment you have for me?”

 

“I want you to re-decorate my corporate penthouse apartment.”

 

I sat up, oblivious to the fact that I was completely naked, with a huge grin on my face.

 

“Really?”

 

He smiled at me.  “Yes, baby, really.  I’ll give you a key and I would like for you to go upstairs tomorrow and take a look around and then start working on some ideas.”

 

“It’s in this building?”

 

“Yes, I stay there occasionally if I’m too exhausted to go home.  Take Eva with you just in case you have any questions, and I will let her know that you are the lead on the project.  I’ll leave the key on your desk.”

 

I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a big hug.

 

“Thank you, Sebastian.”

 

I suddenly felt very aware of my nakedness and reached for my crumpled shirt on the floor.   Before I could pick it up, Sebastian gently held my hand.

 

“Don’t do that.  Not yet.  I want to see you, you are so beautiful, Bryan.”  He leaned over and placed a soft kiss on my shoulder.

 

He had a way of making me feel so comfortable, so I lay there naked beside him for a little bit longer.  I looked at him and smiled, and then looked at the ceiling.  I wanted to ask something but I didn’t know how.

 

“What is going on in that pretty little head of yours, huh?”

 

It was like he could read my mind.

 

I hesitated but decided I had to know where we stood.

 

“I am not trying to put any labels on us, or pressure you about anything, but I am wondering what happens now?  Are things going to be awkward between us here at the office?  Do we act like we barely know each other?  I’m sure my questions sound naïve but I was always taught it is best to be upfront and ask questions if you want to know something.”

 

Sebastian looked at me and chuckled.

 

“Your life has just changed in the most amazing way, baby.”
