How ironic.
When the last of the attendees were finally gone, Sebastian nodded at William, not lingering to chat with the man. William gave him a quizzical look, which he ignored as he went off and left.
Two things warred in his mind, intent on driving him crazy.
He had to apologize for his sinful deeds.
And he had to have her again—no matter what it took.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. – Albert Einstein
Lily had finally decided to name her car Louie.
It was a smart move, because Louie sounded like a very reliable name—old, but smooth as a sailor and pleasant to be with. Another smart move was finally taking Louie to the mechanic, an affable man named Lou who was obviously charmed by the similar name and promised her he’d get Louie operating in very good condition in no time.
While her car was at the mechanic, Lily enlisted Beth’s help to give her a ride towards the center of town, where she applied at the only shop looking for someone to hire—an ice cream shop that served old-fashioned sundaes and diner food that was, based on experience, greasy and delicious. The accountant apparently left town on short notice and, since Lily had a bit of experience during her managerial stint in L.A., she was immediately hired to start the next day. It was yet another smart move and she’d been stacking up on them lately to make up for her very, very bad move.
One she intended to do again.
Her obsession of weighing against it had reached epic proportions when she did yet another smart move—that of attending her uncle’s session and listening to his wise words, letting her mind absorb it until she felt peaceful and wise herself. She spent more time with him after, giving him the news that she and Matt had officially stopped dating—another smart move, because the earlier she told the guy she wasn’t interested in anything more, the less the chance he’d get hurt. He took it like a man and promised they would be friends, and then was gentlemanly enough to give her a ride to church.
Her uncle was surprised by the news, but he took it like he always did things—with a smile on his face and an assurance that things were going to work out and it was always best to move forward. After their bonding she hitched a ride with him to his scheduled visit at a house near hers where the owner apparently needed some pastoral care. She insisted on walking rest of the way home, giving a reason that she wanted to enjoy the view on her way. Like everyone said, it wasn’t like any harm would come to her in small, safe Sunnydale.
The sun was just setting by the time she walked twenty minutes and she calculated in her mind that she’d arrive just in time for dinner. This morning Lily had set out the ground beef, intending to experiment on a new pasta dish she’d read about and had wanted to try for a while. Pasta and wine—two of her favorites that would just make the day perfect.
She was halfway from the neighbor’s house to hers when she heard a car coming up behind her. Lily let it roll, not turning around as she kept walking. She already sensed who it might be, but didn’t want to presume something—didn’t so much as want to hope.
A few seconds later the familiar black Volkswagen moved beside her, slowing down and matching her stride. The window was rolled down and Sebastian’s upper half was visible.
Finally, she stopped. They looked at each other quietly taking in each other’s presence before Sebastian finally spoke.
“Let me drive you home.”
Lily shook her head. “I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to visit my home right now.”
“I promise I won’t enter,” he said, though his low voice held other promises. She shivered. “I’ll just drop you off and leave.”
Lily hesitated for all but three seconds before she walked closer to open the door and got in. Once she had it closed and the window was closed, Sebastian leaned forward to give her a kiss. It wasn’t like their kisses behind the church which were fast and hurried and filled with short bursts of passion. This kiss, and the way his mouth led hers in an intimate caress, was slow and savoring.
She broke it first, already on the verge of losing her breath.
Sebastian smiled. “Definitely delicious.”
Lily flushed, inwardly pleased. But she did her best to keep her hands to herself as he rolled down the road.
They needed to behave.
*****
Their so-called behaving lasted until he parked near her driveway, just behind a shade tree and slightly away from the neighbors’ windows. She smiled at him and made a move to kiss him on the cheek this time, still keeping her hands to herself.
Then Sebastian turned his head and met her mouth, his hands going to the back of her neck to pull her closer. Unable to help it anymore her hand flew up, grazing his jaw and touching his chest before restlessly moving everywhere.
This wasn’t going to be some simple goodnight kiss.
Her tongue came out first, tapping at his bottom lip to gain entry before delving inside to taste every cavern. Sebastian tasted wonderful and he smelled so, so good—a mixture of sweat and woods that made her think of a man who knew what he wanted. She felt him smile against her mouth, his tongue tangling with hers and kissing her harder before he proved her thoughts to be exactly right.
In one nimble move, Sebastian’s arm snaked out to pull her body and scoop her over until she was straddling his lap. Her back hit the steering wheel and she muttered a curse, feeling the vibration of his laugh in response. All the while they continued kissing as she adjusted her position, wriggling her lap until she was fully comfortable.
She felt like a giddy teenager, so horny and desperate for more. Perhaps she was a teenager in the sense that this all felt new. Lowell never wanted to do it in the car, complaining about staining his car seats.
Car, most definitely.
The day the women talked about their dirtiest fantasies came back to her mind. She remembered her exact words, realizing now was the moment to make it happen. Excitement coursed through her veins as she ground against him, feeling his erection against her thigh and wanting so much more of it.
But first, she wanted something else.
Lily removed his shirt and he helped her out by bringing his hands up and tossing the clothing at the back seat as they resumed kissing. She let her fingers run all over his hard chest, smooth but for the small triangle of hair running down to below his belt. His abs were perfection and she let her nails trail small circles down them feeling his stomach contract in response. His hands unbuttoned her shirt, parting it to reveal bare breasts that were heavy with desire.
Sebastian groaned.
“You didn’t wear anything underneath the whole time,” he asked in disbelief, green eyes clouding in hunger.
She nodded her head, breath catching when he placed his hands on them, almost as if weighing them. Those skilled hands moved, kneading and making her feel so good that she had to close her eyes to absorb the beautiful sensations all the more.
Sebastian began rubbing her nipples with his thumb as he kissed her throat. Then he lifted one breast up and covered it with his mouth, sucking on the nipple so hard that the ache in her stomach sharpened as her bud tightened. Lily moaned and ran her hands over his hair, rolling her hips in time with his sucking and feeling his hardness graze against her panties in the process.
This was so good. They could do anything they wanted here and no one would know.
A surge of confidence went through her, increasing her lust for him. Lily’s hands moved down touching his shoulders, then his arms, before she changed direction and joined them just below his navel. He wasn’t wearing a belt and it made unbuttoning his pants easier as his mouth switched to her other breast, his hand playing with the other.
The man was intent on driving her crazy.
She could play the same game.
His zipper went down, and Sebastian arched his hips up as she rolled his gray slacks down. He was wearing boxers, which she rolled do
wn as well. His mouth went to her ear, biting softly before he leaned against the headrest and closed his eyes.
Lily stared at his cock. It was proudly erect and almost purple in its aroused state. She took a long look at the magnificent thing, her mouth going dry as it jutted out.
She wrapped her hand around it, watching as it grew even bigger as she stroked it slowly. Sebastian groaned in pleasure, eyes still closed and hands moving to her breasts to continue kneading. Lily experimented with her hand, stroking from base to tip in slow movements, then switching to fast and eager until she felt his pre-cum coat her thumb. Sebastian’s hips arched once before he was removing her hands and pulling her against him, kissing him feverishly until she was all but panting against him.
“I need to be inside you now,” he rasped, voice laced with intense arousal.
She was certainly not going to protest that.
Their movements inside the car grew fast as a sense of urgency consumed them both. Sebastian removed her blouse completely, sucking her breasts some more before sliding her skirt up until her thighs and thong were bare. He didn’t bother getting rid of her underwear. Instead, he slid the thong to the side and used his other hand to guide his hardness inside—a slow, achingly slow movement that had her pulsing with so much need around him.
Once he was buried deep, Sebastian adjusted them again and licked her throat.
“Ride me, Lily,” he commanded gruffly.
Lily did so eagerly—a slow up and down movement at first that contented her until his kisses all over her skin heated her and the ball of fire in her belly gathered to a point of no return. Then she was riding him with all abandon tossed out the window, clutching at his shoulders and loudly moaning out his name. He didn’t stop her sounds this time, instead giving out a groan of his own as his hands went to her waist. Then he firmly lifted her up and down, pistoning his hips and his cock over and over, hitting the spot that rendered her mind numb with pleasure and screaming out his name. It wouldn’t take long. Just a few more hits…just a few more hard thrusts—
She moaned out his name one last time as her climax took her to paradise, making her deaf and blind to everything but him. He kissed her hard and hungrily, bringing her on top of him in a long series of thrusts before she felt him stiffen, his hands clasping her waist. He groaned inside her mouth, and she swallowed the sound with lazy kisses.
Sebastian leaned against his seat, bringing her with him. They stayed in their position for a minute or two, the air filled with the scent of their lovemaking. He went limp inside her and even then she smiled to herself, not wanting to part yet.
Wanting to savor this further Lily trailed kisses all over his face, sucking at the point where the pulse in his neck beat. He inhaled sharply. She kept on until she felt him hardening again inside him.
“You naughty minx,” he rasped with a chuckle.
Lily grinned.
Then nothing more was said as they took each other to new heights once more.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism. – C.G. Jung
Two weeks later, Lily woke up very early—something she didn’t do unless absolutely necessary—to get ready for Sunnydale’s annual auction event. Apparently, auctions were a much-awaited event in town, because it involved a huge party and gathering where they wore their best dresses and raised funds for a children’s charity program. This year the theme was glam, something everyone was excited about because it involved glitter and such.
Lily had volunteered right away when she had been invited to participate in organizing it, wanting to get absorbed in the town’s excitement. The other women, save for Darla who was busy, had volunteered too, and they all gathered every other day after work to discuss what needed to be prepared. Lily had been sick a couple of weeks back with a stomach flu that caused her to miss two days of work at her new job. She felt awful about it but her new boss was very understanding. She was so glad she was feeling better and could participate in the auction activities.
On Saturday, they gathered early and set everything up as quickly as they could—or rather, made finishing touches to what they already set up the day before. The event called for arrival at late afternoon, just in time for dinner and the auction itself. Just a few hours after noon, the women rushed off back to their houses so they could dress up and get ready, then rushed back to the town’s event hall so they could continue helping out with the sign-ups.
The first person to arrive was Darla, decked out in what had to be the sexiest outfit there was. She had on a sparkly tube dress that showed off her cleavage and red lips that made her stand out and she looked like a beautiful, classy doll. The women whistled as she twirled around before joining them at the registration table. They all complimented each other, with Ethel reeling them back in whenever they got distracted.
One by one, the other guests started arriving, all looking very glamorous. Lily looked on in excitement, remembering the parties she went to in Los Angeles. While those were all about the glamor too, there was just something great about watching simple people with simple lives experiencing an event that obviously excited them—unlike in the city, where this kind of thing was commonplace. It made everything so much more special and Lily couldn’t wait for what was ahead.
The other organizers wandered off to seat the guests and check with the cook regarding the food, leaving Lily behind. She was just taking note of the names on the registration list when a shadow fell on her vision.
She looked up, and her breath caught in her throat.
Sebastian was standing in front of her, pen in hand, as he waited for her to release the registration list. He was wearing a black tuxedo with no bow or tie, and even then, she couldn’t help but notice how well the outfit fit him, molding over his lean frame and making him look as handsome as sin. He had his hair subtly slicked and the smile he gave her felt dangerous and looked absolutely beautiful.
Lily’s heart skipped a beat as their fingers brushed when he took the sheet from her. He leaned down to scribble his name, eyes on hers. She tried not to gulp.
“You really should pay attention to what you’re writing,” she scolded softly.
“I’d rather pay attention to you,” he murmured.
Heat rushed up her spine, making her whole body tingle. Sebastian slid a tiny box in front of her before straightening back up and giving her a nod. Lily glanced around, finding no one staring at them or paying attention. She opened the box. Blinked.
“This is…this is beautiful, Seb,” she breathed out.
Inside the box was a delicate necklace of silver with a blue gemstone in the middle and it was perhaps one of the prettiest piece of jewelry she had ever seen. She turned it over and over in her hand, then looked up at him.
Sebastian smiled. “It would look good on you. May I?”
Lily nodded and stood up. Since it would look suspicious if he placed the necklace on her here, in front of everyone, she let him pull her towards the side where a hall led to one of the area’s restrooms. The men’s restroom was the nearest one and they both glanced around before entering.
The place was empty, so Sebastian didn’t waste any time taking her inside one of the stalls. He took the necklace from her hand.
“Turn around,” he said.
She did as instructed, facing the tiled wall. Lily felt his hands on her neck and the coolness of the pendant settling on her throat and she heard the sound of a click that indicated it was locked in place. His hands, however, did not leave her neck, trailing down until they settled on her shoulders. She felt his mouth move in a whisper over her back.
She knew what he wanted.
Desire spiked inside her but she wanted something else this time. Turning back around, Lily leaned forward to give him a long, slow kiss on the mouth, using her tongue until she felt him grow hard against her stomach. Her hand went down to cup him there, feeling him groan and his own hands wander
over her ass. He kissed her back hard and she could feel his hunger for more.
She smiled, drunk in the pleasure. Her hands unbuttoned his tux, then his slacks, sliding it down until she could slide her hand in. He didn’t protest, merely let her, kissing and kissing her until they were drowning in the heat of it.
Then Lily slid his boxers down and kneeled.
*****
She looked too beautiful, so radiant and he simply couldn’t wait to get her alone.
That was the first thing that crossed his mind the moment Sebastian saw her at the registration table alone. He had been meaning to give her the necklace days ago, but his duties kept him busy and away from her. It wasn’t for lack of trying, though. They interacted when they could and a certain kind of comfort grew in their conversations when they talked on the phone at night about anything and everything.
Lily was wearing a dark blue dress, something he knew via subtle questions to Janice, who didn’t suspect a thing. He had then bought the necklace out of town, wanting her to wear something nice. She didn’t need it, though—even without the jewelry, she looked great and her smile kept distracting him.
So he pulled her to the restroom and kissed her, something he had missed doing for quite a while. And like things always were with them, kissing led to wanting more, which was the case when she placed her hand on his erection and started massaging like an eager woman.
He was having such a good time with her bold moves that it took Sebastian a while to realize she had knelt down in front of him. She tugged at his briefs, sliding them down before breathing hotly inches away from his hardness. He grabbed at her hair, trying to be careful with her hairdo, looking down inquisitively.
“What are you doing?” he rasped.
A glint entered her eyes, the embodiment of seduction.
“What I want,” was her murmur before she rubbed the tip of her finger on the tip of his cock, which she then licked. Blood rushed further down his groin.
