Roxanne's Redemption

by Aisling Keegan

  He smirked as he climbed up her body, and entered her in a powerful thrust that left her breathless. She wiggled and gasped, loving the way he filled her. He sucked a nipple into his mouth as he began moving. She wrapped her legs around his waist and moved with him. Not long afterward, she screamed out her pleasure as her orgasm washed through her.

  Roxanne didn't realize that he wasn't moving; until he asked huskily, “All right?”

  She nodded, squeezing her inner muscles, urging him to move again. He groaned but complied. He pumped at a frustratingly slow pace. She felt a tingle begin in her stomach and start to spread. Looks like another mind-blowing orgasm is about to rock my world, she thought.

  One of his hands disappeared between their joined bodies and rubbed her clit. She screamed as her orgasm took her by surprise, thundering through her like a freight train. She was still trying to catch her breath when Sebastian thrust once, twice then stilled and groaned as he came. If letting him torture her gave her orgasms like those, then he could do it any time he wanted without worrying about her being disagreeable.

  He licked her lips when his breathing returned to normal; she opened her mouth. He thrust his tongue inside, kissing her deeply. She broke the kiss, giggling when she felt his cock twitch inside her.

  “It would seem I have no control over my cock when it comes to you,” he said against her mouth.

  She got wet thinking about his lack of control with her.

  “Is that a bad thing?” she asked.

  Sebastian held her tight against him as he rolled onto his back.

  “It’s not a bad thing but walking around all day with an erection isn't very comfortable.”

  She laughed. It turned into a moan as he thrust up. “About two minutes ago I felt you twitch, now you're very hard,” she purred, rocking back and forth slowly.

  “I told you about my lack of control with you.” He held her waist as he sat up leaning against the head board. “So, tell me. Why did you move back here?”

  Roxanne stopped moving. Why did he want to talk now of all times? She yelped when he pinched her clit. “You want to talk now?”

  “Yes.”

  “It’s about a man.”

  “So?”

  “So?” she asked as her brows furrowed.

  “Yes, and?”

  “But…but…we just had sex,” she said.

  “Move,” he ordered before he continued. “You’re mine, so talking about a man from your past isn't a problem.”

  Her heart flipped at his words, but still nothing came out.

  “Stop stalling and tell me.”

  “What man do you know would want to discuss his woman’s past lover or lovers?”

  He raised a brow in challenge. “I'm not worried about the men from your past, if that’s what you're getting at.” Then, so low that she didn't think she heard him correctly, “because I'm not letting you go, no matter what.”

  Roxanne sighed in resignation. It wasn't like she couldn't steer the conversation away from her, but a very big part of her wanted him to know. She took it back. She wasn't so much screwed as she was really and truly fucked. “My fiancé,” she muttered.

  “What?” he asked as his hands held her waist, stopping her movement. She pinched his nipple, smiling when he released her to rub it.

  “As I was saying,” she said restarting her rocking motion. “Prior to moving here I lived in New York and I was engaged to my boss. We were to get married in six months but I called off the wedding when I discovered him in bed with another woman. Do you want to know what made me furious?”

  She didn't wait for an answer since it was a rhetorical question. “If he’d wanted to do the horizontal mambo with another woman all he had to do was end our engagement. It would've hurt, but I would've gotten over it eventually.”

  His chest shook with laughter.

  “What's so funny?”

  He chuckled before answering, “Horizontal mambo?”

  He began chuckling again. His laughter turned into a groan as she picked up her pace and pinched his nipple in retaliation. In no time at all, they both groaned as they came together.

  “I have more questions for you, so no sleeping,” Sebastian said in between breaths.

  Chapter Twenty-Two

  She scowled. Might as well answer them and get it over with. He was very stubborn, and she knew he wouldn't let her sleep until all his questions were answered. “Fine,” she muttered with a grimace.

  “Tell me about yourself.”

  “What do you want to know?”

  “Where are your parents? Are you an only child? How long have you been friends with Lexi, Ava and Kira? What are your favorite color, food, music and movie?”

  Roxanne gaped at him. “Are you reading from a list?”

  She yelped when he pinched her. “Are you going to answer?”

  She sighed. “If I do, will you return the favor?”

  “Sure and you don't have to answer in that specific order.”

  She rolled her eyes.

  She wiggled, trying to get comfortable and gasped when she felt his cock harden inside her again. He groaned and held her still. Roxanne stifled her laughter before it escaped. “My parents died in a car accident when I was in college and, yes, I'm an only child. Kira, Ava, Lexi and I have been friends since high school. My favorite color is red, I love Italian food, pop music, and favorite movie is Burlesque.”

  “My parents died two years ago in a boating accident. You already know I have three other brothers. Nick has been friends with us since college. Favorite color is blue, Italian food, jazz and Anaconda.”

  She nodded as she held back a gasp from escaping. Who would have thought they had something in common, even if it was just one thing? She sure hadn’t.

  “Can I ask you something else?”

  “Sure.”

  “Tell me about you and your friends’ tattoos.”

  Oh shit! “We all have a four leaf clover on our ankles, each of our names occupy a leaf.”

  “The others?” he asked softly.

  Damn! “Umm, I have a panther at the small of my back. Ava has a tiger. Kira has a dragon that’s breathing fire. And Lexi has a heart at the same place with a sword going through it.”

  “There's a word on the sword, but I couldn't see what it was and asking her didn't feel appropriate to me.”

  Oh, boy. “Michael is written on the sword.”

  He winced. “Does the tattoo mean what I think it does?”

  “Yes.”

  He winced again and she understood why. Lexi had gotten that tattoo because she thought it was a good description of what his brother Michael did to her heart, after he went behind her back and proposed to another woman.

  “I have a question.”

  “Ask away.”

  “Well,” she said while using her finger to trail up and down on his chest. “Can I have my wicked way with you?”

  He groaned. “Sure. Let’s just hope when you're finished, my dick isn't permanently limp.” She giggled as she began her own form of torture.

  * * * *

  Roxanne wiggled as she tried to get comfortable and wondered why her bed felt so hard. Her bed grunted and she giggled as she remembered that she’d fallen asleep on Sebastian's chest last night. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, getting ready to slide off when his hand stopped her.

  “Where are you going?” he asked groggily.

  She raised a brow though she knew he couldn't see it from what little light came through the window. “Getting ready for work, what else?”

  Grunt. “At this ungodly hour?” he asked.

  Roxanne snorted. “It's not ungodly. It’s just five-thirty.”

  Grunt. “Precisely—ungodly,” he muttered.

  She rolled her eyes. “I have to go to work, but you’re welcome to sleep in today, while all those papers pile up.”

  “Evil woman,” he grumbled.

  She giggled. “You can shower first.”

/>   He released his hold on her. And she stood and stretched as she hid her smile when he groaned.

  “Can we make sure we’re really awake, before showering?”

  She shook her head. “I’m not going to be late for work because of you.”

  “You don't have to be late. We can always have a quickie,” he said hopefully.

  Roxanne snorted. “You can always use your hand to make sure you're really awake.”

  He chuckled. “I was right. You’re a wicked woman.”

  He sauntered into the bathroom as if he had no worries—and he probably didn't, except for Ashley. As Roxanne started stripping off the sheets, she heard the shower turn on. Five minutes later she had clean sheets on the bed and Sebastian’s clothes laid out next to hers.

  After throwing the sheets in the hamper, Roxanne held out a towel for Sebastian when she heard the shower turn off and as soon as he came out she stepped in.

  * * * *

  With the towel wrapped loosely around his waist, Sebastian entered Roxanne’s bedroom and smiled when he saw that she’d laid out his clothes next to hers. It took a great deal of effort not to look at her panties but when he thought about walking around all day with an erection, Sebastian reluctantly stepped away. After he had finished dressing, Sebastian pulled his hair into a ponytail at the nape of his neck.

  Ten minutes later, Roxanne entered the room wearing a robe. All the blood from his head rushed down and settled in his cock. He tried to stop his thoughts before they went any further, but it was too late and his cock hardened further. After he'd agreed for her to have her wicked way with him last night, she’d teased him until he was almost sure he would be a babbling idiot in the morning.

  At one point he’d thought it was payback for what he had done to her before. Especially when she’d taken his cock into her mouth and sucked and teased the head until he begged for release. If that wasn’t enough, she would nip him then blow on the spot, making him dizzy with need until he’d thought he was going to pass out at any moment. Yet she still wouldn’t make him come.

  When he'd finally accepted the fact that she wasn't going to let him come any time soon he kept quiet and prayed for strength. His prayers were answered when she finally made him come, after taking him to the back of her throat. He screamed—a manly one—as he came. Granted it was a first and although he enjoyed it, he was determined to never do it again no matter how intense his orgasm was.

  He’d focused back on her when his climax ended only to find her smirking. He’d wanted to thank her, and then tell her that was the first and the last time she was making him scream, but he was too tired to talk. Lying there limp and sated, he watched as she played with her clit and nipples. Not long after, his breathing went shallow and his cock went hard.

  With no encouragement from him she climbed on, and he watched in fascination as his cock disappeared into her dripping heat. She rode him hard, and a few minutes after, they screamed as they orgasmed. She fell asleep on his chest and he was too tired to move an inch, so he closed his eyes and did the same.

  He was pulled from his thoughts and back to the present when she said, “I always get wet when I see you in a suit.”

  He groaned. Today was going to be a long day.

  Chapter Twenty-Three

  Roxanne took off her robe and put on her bra and panties while trying to hide her grin at Sebastian’s groan. With that finished she left the bedroom and went to the bathroom.

  “Are you trying to kill me?” Sebastian asked when she returned to the room a few minutes later.

  She raised a brow in question. He pointed at her scantily-clad body before saying, “My cock is already screaming for release and if you won't let me fuck you now—fast and here then please can you finish getting dressed.” She nodded as she squeezed her thighs together at the thought of him taking her now; she did as he asked while trying to ignore his smirk.

  After putting on her shoes, she grabbed her handbag and keys before following Sebastian down the stairs.

  “I have a question that I wanted to ask you last night, but couldn't since you kept distracting me,” he said.

  “Sure.”

  “How badly were you hurt after catching your fiancé with another woman?”

  Roxanne considered his question carefully before she answered. “I was willing to stay single for the rest of my life if it meant not feeling like that ever again.”

  He winced.

  “Can you do something for me?” she asked.

  He cocked his head to the side and waited. “Let your hair loose.”

  “Why?”

  “Because I like it that way,” she answered, though she wasn't sure he would do it. She smiled when he hesitated for just a second before he complied. “Thank you.”

  “No problem.”

  “Come on; we're going to be late.”

  She locked the doors then climbed into Sebastian's car. His eyes widened ever so slightly before he controlled his expression. After putting their things in the backseat, Sebastian backed out of the driveway and drove off.

  One hour later they pulled into Ferguson Graphics parking lot. They would have arrived earlier but they’d stopped to buy breakfast. Roxanne waited until Sebastian locked the car before walking toward the building. Once inside they didn't have long to wait for the elevator. When it arrived they were the only ones inside. When the elevator stopped on her floor, Sebastian kissed her before she stepped out.

  * * * *

  Roxanne came to his office around five-thirty and asked for his car keys. First he thought that she was going home then she would return for him afterward.

  He went back to finish up after giving her the keys when she asked him what he wanted to eat. Before he could answer, his stomach growled. She giggled.

  “Anything’s fine as long as it’s edible,” he said. She came back an hour later with Nick following behind. Ever since he met Nick, Sebastian always found it funny that Nick continually showed up whenever food was present.

  “What did you get me?”

  “Oh, Nick I didn't get you anything. I didn't know you were still here, sorry.” Sebastian could tell Roxanne was lying, but he wouldn’t clue Nick in. Let him figure it out on his own, he thought as he hid his grin.

  Sebastian was barely able to keep from laughing as Nick kept staring at the take-out bag Roxanne carried.

  She giggled. “You should see your face. It’s priceless. I got you the chicken and shrimp with garlic sauce dinner special.”

  “Thanks and, by the way, you're the best.”

  Roxanne snorted. She handed Nick his food then looked at Sebastian. “I got you the pepper steak with onion dinner special.”

  “What did you order for yourself?” he asked, taking his food as he sat down.

  “Hot and spicy shredded beef dinner special.”

  “Did you buy appetizers?” Nick asked.

  He chuckled when Roxanne gaped at Nick.

  “What?” Nick asked.

  She shook her head before answering. “Yes, shrimp egg roll for you, pork for Sebastian and fried wontons for myself.”

  “You got variety. That’s awesome because we’re sharing.”

  Sebastian looked at Roxanne, and then they looked at Nick then laughed as they began eating.

  They arrived home around eleven because Roxanne had told him she wasn’t in a hurry so he could finish up all the paperwork. After leaving the office, Sebastian had gone to his house to pick up a suit and other necessary items for tomorrow.

  After he pulled into Roxanne's driveway, they got their things from the back seat then walked to the house afterward. In the shower, he took her against the wall. Once their orgasms waned and he was able to talk he began to worry that he was too rough, but she told him that she was all right before they showered and went to bed.

  Chapter Twenty-Four

  While backing out of Ava's driveway, Roxanne thought about the reason she’d gone over there and their conversation. She had needed som
eone to talk to; someone who could tell her she wasn’t making a big mistake. A part of her thought if she kept Sebastian waiting too long she would lose him, because she was still afraid to tell him how she felt. And losing him was the last thing she wanted.

  She could have gone to Lexi or Kira, but Lexi was working and Kira was at the studio. Plus Ava would tell her what she thought, without mincing her words and that was just what she wanted.

  “You love him.” It wasn't a question or an accusation, but a fact. Of course she did and of course Ava had picked up on that little bit of information, even if the others hadn't.

  “Yes.”

  “You don't think he loves you?”

  Roxanne sighed. “He doesn't say the words, but he shows me in every little thing he does.”

  “So what's the problem?”

  “I want him to tell me, so I can stop feeling so insecure.”

  “Did you tell him?”

  Roxanne shook her head.

  “Why? What are you waiting for?”

  She sighed. “Ava, you of all people know about my luck with men. Past boyfriends and even my ex-fiancé ended up cheating on me and if Sebastian did that it would kill me.”

  “You don't want to take a chance and lose him.”

  “No I don't.”

  “That's understandable, but what will you do if you lose him by not taking a chance, Roxanne?”

  “I don't know.”

  “Hon, Sebastian loves you and you have to understand that not all men are like your exes. If he turns out like them, though, I'll always be here with a shoulder for you to cry on. Right after I beat the shit out of him.”

  She smiled. “Thank you.”

  “You’re welcome. Now go tell that man of yours how you feel.”

  Roxanne was happy she went to Ava to talk. For the past few weeks she’d felt torn. In a way, discovering Daniel with another woman was good because at least it saved her from marrying him and then regretted that she’d done it possibly two months later. But it was also bad because it made her afraid to trust Sebastian with her heart, and it was tearing her apart.
