Chapter Thirteen
Present
I'm sleeping.
I can feel the touch of someone’s hands rubbing up and down my arm. I want to turn into those hands, but I'm still so tired.
“Mia,” I hear my name being called to me.
His voice sounds so raspy, sexy and strong. The hands that were rubbing my arm a few seconds ago are now shaking my body back and forth. The sexy voice is back but sounds panicked now.
“Mia! Wake up, Mia.”
My eyes dart open. My body is drenched in sweat and I can feel my heartbeat racing. My cheeks are wet and my eyes are slightly blurry. I look around the room to see what could have startled me, but I see nothing. That is when I feel the tender touch of someone’s hands on me.
I turn into the hands to see a worried Sebastian. He is gently caressing me with his hands as his eyes show concern. I want to reach out to him and ask him what’s wrong. I want to ease him from whatever is causing him to look the way he looks.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” These are the only words I can think to ask at the moment.
Sebastian’s eyes squint at me like he can’t believe what I just asked him.
“Mia, honey... am I okay? That is…” he drags his hand through his hair as he contemplates what to say next. “Are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep, you’re covered in sweat, and you’re shaking.”
Huh? I look over my body and I realize he's right. I am shaking.
“Honey, were you dreaming? Do you want to talk about it?”
Was I dreaming? I don’t think so. I haven’t had a dream in a long time. If I was dreaming and it affected me this much I would remember, wouldn’t I?
I adjust my body to face him completely and I lift one of my legs over his hips so that I'm straddling him. I raise my hands to grip the sides of his face while I look into his eyes.
All I see in his beautiful blue eyes is the worry he has for me.
“I wasn’t dreaming. I don’t know why I’m covered in sweat, or why I was screaming in my sleep,” I say with such determination. I’m not sure if I am trying to convince him or me. “I would remember if I was dreaming.”
I caress his cheek and lean in to give him a quick kiss on the lips. “I’m sorry I scared you. Go back to sleep.”
I go to move off of him, but his arms move around me to hold me in place. He gently adjusts my body so that my body is over his intimately. I can feel his erection through the thin material of his boxers and my panties.
“Are you sure you're okay? I’m here, you know, if you want to talk. I’ll listen to anything you want to tell me,” he says, sounding hopeful. I know he wants me to confide in him, but I’m not there yet. With my freak-out yesterday I’m not sure if I will ever be there.
I speak softly to him, “I know and that is very sweet. You were there for me last night. I needed you and you were there. That’s what I need. That’s all I need.”
I lean down to give him another kiss on the lips. His hands tighten around my waist as he kisses me back. What was meant to be a brief peck quickly gets out of control.
His hands move up my body and caress the sides of my breasts. His tongue meets mine as we devour each other. Our need for each other is evident. My hands move urgently over his body. I waste no time in moving one of my hands inside the front of his boxers.
His cock is hard and ready for me. I hold his erection as I start to stroke him up and down. My hips are moving up and down with each movement. I release my mouth from his and move my lips across to his neck. My free hand moves to the back of his neck to hold him in place while I suck on his skin and continue to stroke his erection.
His hands continue their movement over my body. When Sebastian goes to take my panties off I stop him.
I speak panting into his neck, “We… can’t.” I barely get the words out before his hand is in my panties. His fingers stroke in between my folds before his index finger plunges into my core. “Ugh,” I moan out. His hand feels incredible. He feels incredible.
I continue my movement over his erection as I start to ride his finger. Just as I am starting to feel the familiar build-up approaching, Sebastian adds another finger inside me. I let out another moan as I crash my lips to his.
I can’t get enough of him. My body needs him. It is like some unexplained force has taken over me and it needs Sebastian to survive.
My teeth clamp onto his lips as I am on the brink of an orgasm. I want to wait for him, but I don’t know how to stop it. I'm… almost…. there.
My back arches as my breasts smash into his chest. I still have my bra on, but the feeling of my hard nipples against his chest is my undoing. I come, riding his fingers, moaning out Sebastian’s name. It feels incredible.
Sebastian is still panting as my hand moves faster over his cock. “Lift your hips,” he breathes out to me.
I lift my hips as he slips his hand out from me. He moves his fingers to his mouth and sucks my juices off them.
I'm entranced by this action. It is completely and totally the most erotic thing I have ever experienced.
“Fucking delicious. You taste fantastic.”
Sebastian has no qualms in saying this to me. He looks triumphant even. His hips start thrusting into my hand and I know he's getting close.
I don’t know if it's the trust I am slowly having in him or the scene he just displayed in front of me, but I have the urge to do something for him. Something I have never done before.
My hand continues its movement as I slowly move my hips down his body. I place kisses down his chest. My lips hover over his lower abdomen, licking and kissing him right above his package.
I move my lips over the top of his erection. I lick the head of his cock as I continue to pump him up and down.
“Oh… Fuck!” He yells as I open my mouth and take him inside. I start to suck and bob my head over him while my hand continues to move on him. It only takes a couple seconds and he is ready to come.
His hand goes to move my head, but I stay firm on his cock. I love the feeling of him stretching inside me. I feel something hit my tongue, then the back of my throat as Sebastian comes inside my mouth.
I take all of him. Wanting to taste every last drop. Surprisingly, he tastes fantastic. I'm beginning to understand why he likes licking me off his fingers.
When I'm sure he's finished, I lift myself off him and lick my lips. The look on his face makes me melt inside. He is looking at me with such adoration.
I crawl back up his body and sprawl across his chest. We lay this way for a while, neither of us speaking. We are just enjoying being in each other’s company.
After what has to have been hours but seems like seconds, I look over to the clock on his nightstand. It is a little after six in the morning. I'll have to get ready to start work soon.
As if sensing where my thoughts are, Sebastian breaks the silence in the room. “Stay in bed with me today. We can talk about everything and I can explain to you about my marriage. We can just lie here and enjoy being together.”
I want to. The idea of staying in bed with him makes my stomach flutter. There is nothing I want to do more in the world than stay with him, but I have a job to do. I can’t allow him to give me special treatment. It isn’t fair and the girls would hate me.
“As great as that sounds, I need to work. We can spend the day together this weekend,” I say to him, pouting slightly. I nuzzle my face into his chest a little more.
His hands start to caress my back as he speaks, “Just today. I just need today. You have sick days and personal days…. we can just say you are using one of those. Plus, I have a proposition for you. I’ve been thinking about this the past few days and I really want to discuss it with you today. What do you say? Will you stay with me?”
How can I say no to that? It is all too easy staying with him since I never wanted to leave in the first place.
I lift my head slightly to look into his eyes as I say, “Okay.”
I lay my head back down on his chest and just enjoy being in this moment. I am in Sebastian’s safe arms. Nothing can harm me in his arms. I know I have only known him for two months, but I can’t imagine not being around him. He is my safety net. It may be unhealthy, and I am sure a psychologist would love to examine me, but I need Sebastian.
I feel like he is detrimental to my survival.
