Chapter 69
Riley
“Jesus fucking Christ!” Xavier’s voice is outside the door of Sebastian’s loft. “Don’t take it out on me bro!”
“Get the fuck out of the way then!” Sebastian growls as he flings open his front door. “Riley.” He sees me on the couch with Kaz and relief floods his features. He’s still filling the doorway, and from behind him I see Xavier poke his head around.
“Glad you both are okay,” Xavier says, shoving Sebastian aside and entering the loft. Following behind him, Jonathan, Jamison, and Andre file in. The twins both gravitate toward Kaz almost instantly.
“Let me check you for injuries,” Jonathan says to Kaz, indicating to her to scoot over on the couch. I stand and meet Sebastian halfway as he comes into the living room.
“Come with me,” he says, grabbing my hands and starting to walk toward his room. Is he really thinking about sex right now?
“Sebastian? Should we talk about this?” I ask, letting him guide me into the room. I start to say more and his hands are in my hair, tugging my head backwards until I’m staring up at him.
“Riley,” he says, his voice husky now. “I will not lose you again. Do you understand?”
I nod. “We have to do something, or this will always be an issue.”
“We’re doing something little mouse. I need you to change your clothes. Put on something you don’t mind getting dirty in.” With that, he sits on his bed and leans back, propping himself on his elbows.
“Now?” I ask. “Are you going to sit here?” I watch his gaze darken, and watch as he adjusts himself. He’s hard already, despite the events of the last hour.
“I see your body in my mind at all times Riley, I know exactly how you taste. For right now, I’m only going to watch you, but that body and that pussy will be mine later. So yes,” he states, “you can get dressed here in front of me.”
With that he grabs his dick over his pants and leaves me flustered. My mouth is practically hanging open, and I feel my cheeks flush. Of all the times, I would not think this would be a moment when I feel wetness between my legs. But sure as hell, I’m turned on with the way he’s looking at me like I’m his last meal.
“Okay…” I say, turning toward the dresser. I push down my jeans, keeping my backside to him. I’m about to pull on leggings over my panties when Sebastian growls .
“No panties Riley.”
I flush harder. I push down my panties and feel his eyes taking in my ass, on full display in front of him. I slip into the leggings and pull my blouse over my head. As I begin pulling on a tank top, Sebastian has moved from the bed to behind me and he grabs my breasts over my bra. “These are mine too,” he says, and then his mouth is on my neck, hot and wet.
My knees weaken, I am suddenly hungry for his touch on more of my body. A moan escapes my mouth.
“Yes. You will be doing more of that, little mouse. I will put my mouth on every inch of your body later. But for now, we need to move.”
I nod again, embarrassed and also a bit confused about my reaction. “Where are we going?” I ask.
“You’ll see, baby. It’ll be a surprise.” Sebastian shifts his body and I feel his erection against my backside then. He adjusts himself in his pants and then goes toward the door before I can ask more questions. What the hell is happening?
The car ride over is mostly quiet. I am almost afraid to look at him, it seems like he’s angry with me about the whole Nate run in. But really, I know if he’s angry, it’s with Nate.
“Hey,” I say, “I know I’ve been in your place for a while now, and I know that’s not really what you signed up for.” I have been wanting to ask him this for days now, but couldn’t muster up the courage. I hesitate, then continue, “If you want, I can move back in with Corrine. We could get an alarm at the place, which I think would help me feel safer. And I could come back to work regularly. I think the routine..” I’m stopped by Sebastian’s hand on my leg.
“Riley. I don’t think you’re understanding. You being anywhere but with me is no longer an option. Your body will never be touched again by another man. You are not moving out of my place because it’s now your place too. You and I are not a passing fantasy, Riley. You are my fucking universe. Do you understand?”
I am too shocked to respond. I knew Sebastian had feelings, but I also have been fearing he’d grow tired of the “one woman” forever idea. But I have been trying to deny the fact that I only see Sebastian when I think of my future.
Before I can give words to my thoughts, we pull up to a giant warehouse in the middle of nowhere. We’ve been driving for a long time, and I just assumed we were headed to a hotel, or maybe one of Sebastian’s other homes. But this is not what I expected.
The warehouse is plain, a large gray building with high walls and only one door in front. “What is this?” I’m staring at Sebastian now, wondering what he could possibly be doing.
“Just come,” he says, leading me to the door. There’s a lock pad on the door, and Sebastian types in a code casually, like he’s been here a million times. I’m nervous, but also feel like whatever he’s up to, I’m okay if he’s here. He pushes the door open and gestures for me to go through. I remain frozen in place and he grabs for my hand, pulling me into him. He rests his head on mine.
“This is for us Riley,” he says, breathing deeply into the top of my head and running his fingers through my hair. “Let’s go.”
With that, I let him hold my hand and walk me through the door. Once inside, I look around and see cabinets lining the entire back wall. This place is huge, and eerie. Out of the corner of my eye, I see something move to my right and then I notice the table. It looks like a table in an operating room. And there’s a body on it. But I’d recognize that man anywhere. It’s Nate.
