Soon, their dancefloor fun was over and he brought her back to the bar. Aaron looked relieved to find her in one piece. “So what’s someone like you doing around here anyway?” The man said harshly, his eyes growing dark again. Lydia, in that moment, snapped out of her trance as she realized the tone of voice he was using with Aaron.
“Hey, I don’t know who you are, but that’s no way to talk to my friend,” she said confidently, standing in front of Aaron. “I don’t even know your name,” she admitted.
“Sebastian.” Aaron’s eyes grew wide in recognition, but he remained quiet.
“Well Sebastian, I would appreciate it if you treated my friend here with a little more respect.” Sebastian chuckled.
“My apologies, your majesty.” He retorted. Lydia’s face reddened.
“Wow, when did you turn into such a jerk?”
“Let’s call it bad company,” he answered, looking straight at Aaron. Lydia noticed this and grew irate. She couldn’t believe this guy.
“You know what? Why don’t you just leave?” The man shrugged, shoving his hands in his pockets, walking away.
“AWW! Why did Mr. Hottie leave?” Victoria suddenly chimed in, popping out of nowhere. Both Lydia and Aaron rolled their eyes. As Victoria got closer, she noticed the look on Lydia’s face and beamed with happiness, before shooing Aaron away.
“You like him!”
“Do not!” Lydia crossed her arms over her chest, pouting a bit. However, as she stood there, her eyes still followed the stranger. He had full dark hair. His stubble was perfect. And his well-chiseled face yearned to be kissed. But, most of all, beneath those clothes was probably the body of a god. Lydia colored as her thoughts grew wild again and she shook her head, trying to clear it. She did not like him! At least, that was what she was trying to convince herself.
“Yes, you do! I can see it in your eyes!” Victoria giggled in glee at the prospect of her friend liking someone. “Why don’t you go for him?” She edged on her friend. Lydia, of course, shook her head. She had always been stubborn. “You’re no fun, babe! But tell you what. How about I go tell him you’re interested!” Before Lydia could stop her, Victoria was already walking toward Sebastian.
Lydia sighed, sitting back down. Aaron showed up behind her as if appearing out of thin air. He looked at her with kind eyes, trying to judge her emotions. He was having a hard time figuring her out and he wondered whether it had anything to do with the demon.
Chapter 3
As Victoria made her way toward Sebastian, she was instantly drawn to him. There was something about his dark nature that was turning her on. She smirked confidently, swaying her hips a little bit more as she got closer, hoping he would notice. Sebastian, however, seemed bored as he looked at the dancefloor.
“Hey!” Victoria yelled, before spilling onto him. She was still rather tipsy, obvious by her flushed face and unsteady motions. Sebastian, caught her, looking at her curiously, raising an eyebrow in question. “You’re hot!” She blurted out, the booze making her painstakingly honest.
He smirked. “Oh?” Victoria nodded, giggling to herself as she moved even closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling their bodies together. She was supposed to be helping Lydia get with Sebastian, not get with him herself. But at this point, her body was in control.
“Well, how about a dance then?” He asked, grabbing her hand and pulling her onto the floor. Victoria was all too eager to follow him. Soon they disappeared from sight, swallowed up by the sea of people. Sebastian kept his hands on Victoria’s hips, pressing them into his own. Victoria giggled as she grinded against him, feeling his pants tightening. Being a tease, she turned around and looked up at him, her low-cut party dress revealing a nicely sized chest. He looked down without shame, smirking.
“Well, aren’t you easy?” He whispered to himself. She just smiled at him, unknowingly. “So who’s your friend?” Victoria looked confused for a moment.
“Oh! You mean Lydia!” She responded after a moment. “Yeah, she likes you!”
“Is that so?” Sebastian smiled in satisfaction.
Victoria nodded exceedingly. “Yup! In fact, I’m supposed to be hooking you two up right now… but oh well… I rather keep you to myself!” She said naughtily, her bright jade colored eyes gleaming.
“Would you really do that to your friend?” He asked, raising his eyebrow again. Victoria stopped dancing, thinking about it for a moment. It was a mean thing to do, wasn’t it?
“Aww, now you made me feel bad.” She pouted, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Well, I have an idea where you can be a good friend and have me too,” he whispered in her ear. She looked up at him curiously, her eyes big.
“Tell me!” She demanded in her excitement.
“Go back to Lydia and tell her you’ll test me out for her. That way, you can tell her if I am a good fit for her or not.” He paused, kissing her neck gently, his teeth nibbling her tender flesh before whispering, “I’ll make it worth your while.” Victoria shivered and eagerly nodded in agreement. It didn’t seem like the best way to handle the situation, but Victoria felt compelled to follow his lead.
“Okay!” She finally agreed, walking off in Lydia’s direction. Sebastian watched her, knowing he would soon have the angel’s precious girl in his hands.
Meanwhile, Aaron and Lydia were at the bar, sitting there in silence. Lydia was in no mood to talk. Aaron felt like maybe she was mad at him and frowned at the thought, but said nothing as he sipped another drink. It was all the demon’s fault.
Lydia refused to look at the dancefloor. She didn’t even want to know what Sebastian and Victoria were doing. With the tipsy girl gone this long, it was obvious she was flirting with him. Leave it to Victoria to turn a simple recon into a personal mission. Lydia swirled the ice around in her glass, trying to take her mind off the current situation. Why was she getting so upset anyway? She didn’t even like the guy. Did she?
Thinking about it, Victoria’s arms wrapped around her, making her jump. “Hey, babe!” She said happily. Lydia took a moment to turn around, looking at her overly happy friend.
“What happened to you?” Lydia asked as Aaron watched on.
“Well! I solved both our problems.”
“Hmm?”
“Sebastian!”
“What about him?” Lydia said, suddenly interested, but trying not to show it too much.
“Well I know you like him, but I also know you’re too much of a wuss to make the first move, so I’ll do it for you. I’ll go home with him tonight and then I’ll let you know if he is good or not.” She winked at her friend with a naughty look on her face. Lydia rolled her eyes, turning away. Aaron stepped in.
“You sure you want to do that Vic? You don’t even know this jerk.” His voice was sincere.
“Hey now! He is not a jerk! He is a perfect, sexy, irresistible gentleman!” She giggled loudly, grabbing Lydia’s drink and downing it in one large gulp. Lydia sighed.
“It’s her life if she wants to sell her soul to the devil let her.” Aaron was a little surprised by Lydia’s words. Did she know that Sebastian was a demon or was it just a coincidence?
“She’s right Aaron, you worry too much!” Sebastian suddenly emerged at her words, appearing behind her and wrapping an arm around her waist.
“You ready to go?” Victoria looked up at him as he leaned down and kissed her in front of Lydia and Aaron. Lydia looked away while Aaron grew red in response. Victoria melted in pleasure, making out with him sloppily.
“Enough of that.” Lydia butted in when the public display went over the line. “Go suck face at home.” Sebastian looked at her with burning eyes, before grabbing Victoria’s hand and dragging her off. When they were gone, Lydia jumped off the bar stool and looked at Aaron.
“Can we go home now?” Aaron sighed, hearing the frustration in her voice.
“Sure thing. Want me to walk you home or call a cab?”
“Let’s walk,
I need the fresh air.” He nodded and to his surprise, Lydia grabbed his hand, interlocking their fingers together.
Chapter 4
By the time Victoria made it to Sebastian’s home, her booze had worn off. She was clearheaded now as she sat inside the luxurious car, her hands feeling the genuine leather of the seats. She wondered how much a car like this would cost. It wasn’t every day Victoria found herself inside a Lamborghini.
As she looked out of the tinted windows, she gawked in amazement. “You live here!?” She exclaimed, spotting the mansion that was now looming before her, like a giant ready to crush her underfoot. “How the hell can you afford this place?” She asked, still amazed, as her face pressed against the window.
“Let’s just say my family is well off. I also have a little business of my own.” He answered, pulling into the large driveway, the automatic gates closing behind him with a menacing thud. Victoria cringed, realizing she was now locked on the premises, but she was still bubbling with the excitement of exploring Sebastian’s home.
Soon he parked in front of the door and got out. He didn’t bother to open up Victoria’s door for her. Instead, she was left to scramble after him or risk being left there. So much for being a gentleman.
As Victoria followed him, she had little time to stop and stare at the dark décor pinned around the house, giving it an almost gothic look. As she made her way through the maze-like plethora of hallways, she couldn’t help but feel a chill climb up her spine as she passed a shadow, as if some sort of monster would jump out at her. Yet, she was compelled to venture further and further into the unknown, following Sebastian.
Eventually, they climbed a large set of stairs, carpeted with an expensive looking material. Victoria was still in a daze as she stepped into his bedroom. It was dark, much like the rest of the mansion, but uniquely decorated with reds and golds as well. There was a granite fireplace, already burning with an intense heat.
Victoria kept walking around the room, amazed, before stumbling into the bed. It was a four poster and looked to be king size. As she stood before it, Sebastian came up behind her, pushing her down.
His body pressed up against hers as he kissed her lips, biting her bottom lip gently. She moaned softly, her legs wrapping around his waist, as her hands ran up his shirt and ripped it off, ready for some action. Sebastian also took his opportunity, picking her up, his hands on her ass, giving it a rough squeeze before slamming her against the wall. In an instant, his large hands were all over her, until they rested on her breasts, groping them almost too hard. Victoria gasped out, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She enjoyed a rough lover.
Sebastian continued his assault, kissing her neck harder, leaving love bites all over her skin, as if marking her as his own. Victoria, in turn, wrapped her fingers in his thick hair, pulling it slightly as her own rough side came into play. She pulled harder, making his head lean back until his neck was exposed. She waited a moment before leaning down, biting hard, harder than he had. He grinned, allowing her control for a moment before he walked over and threw her on the bed. Within seconds he pounced on her, pinning her to the bed.
“So you like it rough?” He asked his face inches from hers. She grinned naughtily, about to flip them over, but his grip was too strong. “No, no, little pet, tonight, you’re mine.” He smirked and leaned down, nibbling her ear. “And trust me, I like to play rough.”
Suddenly there was a silky cloth in his hands and he wrapped it around Victoria’s head effectively blindfolding her. She giggled, taking on the role of the submissive as she laid there waiting for his next move. He smirked, running his lips over her collarbone before ripping off her dress with ease. Victoria gasped.
“Oh… I’ll have some fun with you. By the end of the night, I’ll have you screaming my name. You’ll be begging for more and by tomorrow morning, you won’t walk straight.” His voice was soft and sensual as he promised a rough night to come. Even though it would have been logical for Victoria to be scared, instead she was eager for the man to begin. She shivered as she felt the distinct click of handcuffs closing around her wrists. She giggled, wishing she could see what he was doing. Next, she heard him walking around the room as if looking for something.
By the end of the night, Victoria was indeed begging for more. She wanted more and more from him. She didn’t want the night to end. But even her nymph like desire eventually burned out as she found herself breathing hard on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, satisfaction painted all over her face. It had been the best night of her life.
When he finally untied her, she cuddled up to him as if he had been the most affectionate lover in the world and as if her ass cheeks weren’t red raw from his hand. As she looked over at him, Sebastian didn’t even look phased. How did he do it? She was amazed as her fingers ran across his bare chest. “You did well, pet,” he whispered into her ear, buttering her up. “So well, in fact, that I have a proposition for you.”
Victoria raised an eyebrow in question. “Go on. I’m listening.”
“Well, you told me your friend likes me. I don’t want to disappoint her. But I like you too. So how about you work for me?” He asked, judging her reaction.
“How so? I would love to be your little sex slave, but I doubt that pays well.”
He chuckled. “Not quite.” He paused for a moment. “I have a modeling agency. I think you would do well as one of our models.”
Victoria was amazed. Was he being serious? It was her dream to be a supermodel. Ever since she broke away from her chubby adolescent days, she had stayed physically fit. Now there wasn’t an ounce of fat on her body. In fact, she had what she considered the perfect body. She was tall at 5’8’ and had long shapely legs. She had an hourglass figure, long red hair, and gorgeous jade eyes. Lydia had even encouraged her to model for years.
“Are you interested?” He asked, leaning close. She shivered for a moment.
“Why does it feel like I am making a deal with the devil?” She giggled, rolling on top of him.
“Maybe you are.” He grinned, pulling her closer, feeling her bare chest press against him own. His large hand reached up, giving her a hard squeeze making her moan out.
“If it means spending more time with you, then it’s a deal.” She winked, kissing his neck, biting it, her red hair a sexy mess. He smiled in satisfaction. Soon enough, he would have his hands on Lydia. It was only a matter of time.
Victoria kept kissing his neck, thinking about her new modeling career. She wondered what it would be like if she became famous. It never occurred to her to ask him what kind of modeling was in question, but at this point, she didn’t care. Right now she was obsessed with the man who had driven her crazy. It would be a shame if Lydia ended up liking him. She didn’t want to let him go. After all, she was there first.
Chapter 5
Aaron and Lydia walked home together, the moonlight shining down on them, making Aaron’s blonde hair glow like a halo. Lydia however, did not notice. Instead, her mind was with Sebastian. She wondered what he was doing and why he seemed to pick Victoria over herself.
Aaron noticed this brooding nature, but gave Lydia her space, knowing it was the best course of action. Whenever she was upset, she didn’t like to be spoken with. So they walked along in silence until they made it to her house. It was a small duplex that she rented. Her neighbor was a Greek woman – Mrs. Souvlakis, who never gave her any problems.
“Well… I guess I should say goodnight now.” Aaron whispered. He looked at her longingly, wishing she would cheer up. He had an awful feeling in his stomach as he predicted she was thinking about the demon. They always had a way of making innocents fall, but as long as he could help it, he wouldn’t allow Lydia to get into harm’s way.
“Aaron?” Lydia’s sweet voice rang out through the night as she looked up at her best friend. Her eyes were big, although a little sad as she squeezed his hand, giving him an almost child-like look. “Can you stay the night?”
Aaron was some
what taken aback. As friends, it wasn’t unusual for him to sleep over, but for some reason tonight felt different. Inside of him a little spark of hope emerged, threatening to ignite a fire. “Sure.” He finally responded, smiling warmly at her.
Soon enough, they were cuddled in bed together. A movie was playing on her laptop, but neither of them paid any attention to it. Lydia still seemed slightly upset and Aaron sighed, wishing he could help her. “Lydia, you have been pouting ever since we left the bar.”
“Have not,” she said gruffly, crossing arms over her chest. Aaron refrained from looking down her small night shirt and instead looked at her face. Gently, he reached forward and moved a lock of hair out of her face.
“We have been friends forever, you think I don’t know when you are upset? Do we need to make the fortitude fort?” He asked, playfully, a kind smile on his face. She looked at him, nearly glaring, but she eventually chuckled as he made a silly face just to make her laugh. Aaron was a sweet guy.
She finally gave in and nodded, “Okay. I’ll admit it. I need the fort.” Not wasting a second, Aaron got out of bed, before offering her a hand. She took it without hesitation and pressed herself against him, making him blush as he felt her petite, yet curvy body press into his. His breath caught in his throat, but he managed to hide his excitement as they made their way into the living room, gathering the required materials: blankets, pillows, chairs, sheets, and, of course, teddy bears.
A pile of fort supplies was now in the middle of the room, and together they worked on transforming them into a mini palace. Soon, they were huddled up together under the make-shift fort. Lydia was dangerously close to Aaron, so much so that he could smell her intoxicating scent. Once again he had to do his best to hide his excitement, but when she looked at him with almost pain filled eyes, he quickly paid attention.
“It’s not fair. I like someone and Victoria gets to have him…” Lydia mumbled under her breath, before looking away. “I don’t even want to think about what they could be doing right now.” She crossed arms over her chest in exasperation, before collapsing into a fluffy pile of pillows.
