by Loretta Devine

  “I’ll swear if I damn well please!”

  Ashleigh was nearly as tall as he was and they stood nose to nose, venting the full range of their fury. “You did it on purpose!”

  “I did not!” His cold eyes raked over her dispassionately. “I didn’t see a thing.”

  That did it. Her hand snapped back to let him have it and he caught it, making her cry out in pain as he twisted it behind her. “Let go,” she gasped. “You’re hurting me!”

  “Only if you play nice,” he growled. His pupils were fully dilated with his anger, rendering them an enraged black. She gasped as he grabbed the other arm and forced it behind her, thrusting her chest up against his. The robe was starting to open exposing her breasts, and Sebastian’s breath left him in a sharp exhale as the nipples burned through his T-shirt.

  Ashleigh gasped in shock. She’d never been this close to a man before, and the feel of his hard body against hers was too much for her to bear. “L-let go,” she stammered. feeling a sudden ache between her thighs. “Please.”

  Sebastian couldn’t move. A moan escaped him at the feel of her softly curving form against him and he yanked her tighter, slipping a powerful thigh between hers. Her eyes were soft and limpid as his mouth touched hers. The first touch of her lips and he was a man possessed. Ashleigh gasped as he ravaged her mouth sliding his tongue inside to stroke and beguile. She was powerless to resist when he released her arms so she could clutch at him, his mouth leaving hers and scorching a path down to her breasts.

  “Bastian,” she panted, her fingers sliding through silken locks to pull him closer. A tortured cry emerged as his hot tongue swirled around an innocent peak, teasing and tugging before drawing it into his mouth to drink from the sweet flesh. Hot rippling pleasure swamped her body to pool into a throbbing ache between her thighs. “Oh, Bastian!” she gasped, her head falling back as he devoured the creamy throat. “What’s happening?”

  “I--I don’t know,” he rasped. “Don’t stop me, Leigh,” he pleaded. “I want you so.”

  Ashleigh didn’t want him to stop and drew his head back to hers so she could drink from his lips. “I want...you too,” she said, hardly aware of what she was asking. A strangled cry escaped her as he lifted her into his powerful arms. “Bastian,” she gasped between kisses. “What are we doing?”

  He groaned and stifled her protests with kisses. “Hush,” Sebastian urged softly. “Let me make you mine, Leigh.”

  Ashleigh stopped struggling and kissed his throat as he carried her upstairs to his bedroom. Were they really doing this? Or was it a dream? She didn’t know and didn’t care. All she wanted was Sebastian’s arms around her. Here. Now. Forever.

  “I want to be yours,” she found herself whispering in his ear. He turned his head to kiss her deeply. It seemed to take forever to reach his bedroom, and he laid her gently on the bed. Ashleigh watched breathlessly as he shut and locked the door. He drew the curtains and stood before her, his eyes heating every inch of her.

  “Take the robe off, Leigh,” he said hoarsely. “Let me see you.”

  She shook her head. “I’m so skinny. You said so yourself.”

  Sebastian flung off his T-shirt and fumbled with his jeans. He wasn’t wearing anything underneath and his cock sprang out at her, huge and swollen. Ashleigh shrank away.

  “I’m a virgin, Bastian,” she confessed, wondering if she were mad to do this with her stepbrother. “You have...to be gentle.”

  He smiled tenderly and removed the robe. She gasped as he knelt on the bed and touched his body to hers. “I know you are, Leigh.” His lips touched her brow. “I want to be the first.”

  She stared up at him, all at once frightened and consumed with a want she did not understand. “If we do this...you will be the only one.”

  Sebastian kissed her gently and pulled her arms around his neck. “Forever?” he breathed against her lips. “There will be no one else, Ashleigh. You are mine.” Her response was buried beneath his sweet kisses. She sighed as he caressed her body, fingering the soft nipples and teasing them to soft peaks.

  “You’re so gentle,” she sighed dreamily, allowing her hands to stroke over his splendid body. “Will it hurt very much, Bastian?” His head lowered to feast on the swollen mounds and Ashleigh whimpered with pleasure. “Oh, it aches!” she gasped in agony.

  “Where?” he whispered. Sebastian’s teeth lightly nipped at her flesh as he went down her body. “Here?” His hand slid between the slender thighs to cup her gently. She cried out as his finger began to stroke a place she had not known existed, inducing piercing shards of rapturous ecstasy. “Like this, sweetheart?”

  “Yeah,” she moaned, arching her hips. “It feels so good.” Ashleigh spread her thighs wide and gasped as he slid a finger inside to stroke within. “Oh!”

  Sebastian chuckled. “No shame in this,” he said raggedly, his mouth catching the soft cries of pleasure. “We won’t be ashamed, Leigh.”

  “No,” she panted, her hips moving frantically against his hand. “Oh, please!” she moaned. Then he stopped. “No!” she protested. He laughed and covered her mouth with his.

  “Careful, Leigh,” he breathed, lowering his hips between her thighs. “Hold on to me.”

  She grasped his shoulders and cried out as the rounded tip of his cock slowly penetrated. An agonized sob broke from her lips as he tore through the barrier, the cry smothered by Sebastian’s mouth as he buried himself within her virgin body.

  “Leigh,” he said softly, kissing her brow and ear. “You’re so sweet.”

  Ashleigh wasn’t sure this was such a good idea as the thick shaft stretched her. It was so painful she tried to push him off. But he stroked her hair and pressed soothing kisses against her face and throat. “Shh,” he soothed. “It’s alright, my love.”

  “It...hurts,” she gasped, tears of pain filling her eyes. He was too big. The stretching ache and weight of his body was something she could do without. “Bastian, make it go away!” she pleaded.

  Groaning, he kissed her deeply, his tongue stroking hers and teeth lightly nipping at her lips to draw blood. He sucked her mouth and began to move. Ashleigh sucked in her breath as he pulled out all the way to the tip and slid back in. He did this several times until the pain subsided. Then he began to stroke gently, his warm breath caressing her face. “Better?” he whispered, touching his lips to her brow. “Tell me if I’m hurting you.”

  “Oh!” she gasped softly, arching her back. The stretching ache was a constant reminder this was her first time. But Sebastian was gentle in his movements and she breathed a sigh of relief. “Bastian,” Ashleigh moaned in spite of the discomfort. “Don’t stop!”

  “Darling,” he muttered, increasing his pace. “Touch me. Don’t be afraid.” He groaned as her hands drifted down over his flexing ass and sliding between to pull him closer. “Ashleigh!” he cried out, closing his eyes in agony.

  Her soft gasps mingled with his, and Ashleigh clung to him, whimpering as hot waves of pleasure swamped her lithe body. “Sebastian!” she shrieked in fright. “What is it?”

  “Don’t fight it, love,” he moaned, thrusting hard and fast. “Let it happen.”

  Ashleigh bit down on her lip and clutched at his powerful shoulders. She felt something terrifying building within her body. His cock stroked hotly within, swelling and stretching her tight flesh to such a rapturous intensity she was certain she was dying. And just when she thought she mustn’t bear it, something gave within her and Ashleigh screamed his name. Sebastian caught it on his tongue, his hips slamming against hers. He gave a shout and collapsed on her groaning his release. Ashleigh could feel his sharp teeth nipping her throat and sighed.

  They lay together in the aftermath, kissing and stroking the other.

  “I thought you hated me,” she murmured, as he teased her swollen mouth with a finger.

  “Never,” he breathed, pressing soft kisses against her lips and dimpled chin. “You were an annoying little thing. Always poking around
my stuff.” Sebastian chuckled and slid down to suck on her breasts. “You’re perfect, Leigh.”

  “I’m sorry I’m so small,” she apologized, stroking his hair. “I can’t seem to gain weight.”

  He glanced up, his eyes warm and caressing. “You’re lovely.”

  Ashleigh sobered slightly. “Bastian, what have we done?”

  Sebastian’s smile evaporated. “I thought we agreed we wouldn’t be ashamed. We’re not related. We don’t share blood.”

  “I know,” she said uneasily, biting nervously on her finger. “But your dad is a powerful man. What if he finds out?”

  His face darkened. “Find out what? We didn’t kill anyone, Leigh. We made love. Plain and simple.”

  “Is that what it was?” she asked in wonder, reaching up to caress his cheek. “Is there love between us?”

  Sebastian pulled her closer and kissed her hard, drawing blood. She gasped at his possession. “What do you think this was?” he demanded, pulling away slightly. “This wasn’t a fuck, Leigh. You’re worth more than that.”

  “I am?” she said dreamily. She slid her fingers through his hair and he closed his eyes. “Are we in love then?”

  Sebastian didn’t answer. He yanked her down and slid between her thighs enjoying her soft gasp as he plunged deep. “You’re mine, Leigh!” he growled, thrusting impatiently. “Come for me, Ashleigh. I want to hear you say it!’

  “Say...what?” she gasped, her eyes widening as he ravished her. “Bastian! What are you doing?” Ashleigh held onto him as he rode her hard and fast, wincing in pain. “Do you want.. me to tell you… I love you?”

  He slowed his thrusts and began stroking gently. “Say it!” Sebastian commanded, urging her thighs over his hips. He chuckled softly when she shrieked. “Tell me!”

  “You first,” she moaned, relishing the stretching ache. “Oh, Bastian…”

  “I love you!” he growled, his head swooping down to ravage her mouth. He thrust his tongue inside matching the rhythm of his cock. “I’ve always loved you!”

  Ashleigh wept with joy and wrapped herself around him. “Then I love you, Sebastian. Always!”

  Sebastian laughed and held her close, slowing his movements so he could make love to her the way she deserved. Sweetly. Gently. Passionately.

  Later, as she slept in his arms, Sebastian got the distinct impression that his father was going to kill him.

  But he didn’t care.

  He loved her.

  Chapter 3

  Ashleigh leaned back against Sebastian as they soaked in the tub, and sighed as he traced warm kisses along the slender column of her throat. His hands slid down and gently massaged her breasts, flicking the nipples to excited peaks.

  “That’s nice,” she breathed.

  “It could be nicer,” he chuckled, sliding a hand down into the water to caress her softly. “Like this, sweetheart?” She gasped as his fingers began to stroke.

  “Oh!” she cried, still not used to his caresses. Her head fell back against his shoulder as warm waves of pleasure swamped her body. “Bastian!” Ashleigh squealed “But it’s nicer with you... inside me!”

  Groaning, he turned her around and impaled her on his needy cock. His eyes gleamed with satisfaction as her eyes went soft and limpid, her mouth open on a soundless cry. “Ride me, Leigh,” Sebastian commanded hoarsely, arching his hips and making her gasp. “Make me come!”

  “I--don’t know how,” she whispered shyly. His handsome face was taut, his eyes scorching pools of obsidian. He bent his head to suckle her breasts, nipping lightly at the sensitive peaks. Her fingers slid into damp hair and clutched him to her. “My love,” she breathed. “Show me what to do.”

  “Fuck, Leigh!” he cried in anguish. Sebastian grasped her hips and urged her body to slide up and down on his cock. “Like that,” he groaned. “That’s it.”

  Ashleigh let out a shuddering breath as her hips began a sensual dance. He flung his head back, his mouth open and she gasped at his fangs. She’d felt them on her throat and wondered what it would be like to have him drink from her. But for now, she was incapable of intelligent thought as she rode him gently at first, wanting to savor the sinful sensations rippling up and down her body. Seeing him in the throes of passion emboldened her further and Ashleigh didn’t hold back, riding him just as he’d ridden her, wanting him to know she owned him body and soul.

  “Leigh,’ he moaned, arching his hips and thrusting up into her. She whimpered as his cock began surging upward, stroking the vaginal walls, and driving her insane with lust. “Faster, Leigh!” Sebastian panted. “I’m coming,”

  Ashleigh gasped and clutched the sides of the tub. Water was sloshing everywhere, but she didn’t care. She increased her pace, massaging her clit against the base of his shaft. She could feel him swelling within her, increasing her agony. “It feels so good,” she sobbed.

  “Come here,” he gasped, clutching at her wet body. He grasped her hips and forced her to take all of him. “Scream for me, Leigh!”

  “No!” she panted, wincing at the aching fullness. But it was too late. His final thrust sent her reeling over the edge of sanity, and a scream emerged from parted lips. Her arms clutched at him desperately, trying to stifle her whimpers against his mouth as an excruciating orgasm tore through her. Ashleigh fell limp against Sebastian and was hardly conscious of his cries as he bucked beneath her.

  They fell limp against each other, panting and staring wide-eyed in wonder. Sebastian towelled them off and carried her back to bed. Ashleigh woke in his arms to find him staring at the ceiling. “What’s wrong?”

  He kissed her cheek. “I just love you that’s all.”

  “Am I the girl you said you loved?”

  “Of course, silly. Who’d you think it was?”

  Giggling, Ashleigh pulled his head down to kiss him. “I was jealous.”

  “You were?”

  “Uh-huh,” she giggled, hugging him to her. “I wanted to scratch her eyes out.”

  Sebastian laughed softly, taking a finger and drawing lightly on her skin. “I love having you in my arms. Leigh.”

  “When did you know,” she sighed, nibbling his ear. “Details!”

  He laughed, enjoying the feel of her naked skin against him. “I don’t know. It just sort of crept up on me.” Sebastian dipped his head to suckle her breasts and grinned when she arched her back. “And you, Leigh?”

  Ashleigh moaned softly, curling her hands through his hair as he sucked her. “I don’t know. I’ve always thought…you were handsome.” He took the nipple into the hot cavern of his mouth drawing it between his teeth. “Oh!” she cried, feeling a hand slide between her thighs. A soft gasp broke from her lips as he massaged the swollen folds, his thumb circling the tender clit with deliberate slowness. She bit down on his lip and arched her hips into his fingers. “What... are you doing?” she panted, shuddering as he made her come.

  “Loving you,” he breathed, swirling his tongue around a taut peak..”Your body was made for this. For me.” Sebastian sank his teeth gently into her skin. “Don’t be afraid, Leigh. Just a little.”

  “Not...afraid,” she said on a sobbing gasp, peering down as if in a dream while he drank from her breast. “Not...too much, please.” But she couldn’t deny that it felt deliciously sinful to have him drink from her body. She wondered vaguely if Damien did the same thing to her mother. “He doesn’t.” Sebastian grinned, wiping his lips. “Dad finds it distasteful.”

  “How did you know what I was thinking?”

  He kissed her mouth and Ashleigh could taste the remnants of her own blood, salty sweet and coppery. “Only with your permission, sweet.” Sebastian hovered over her and traced where the rivulet of blood began trickling down her chest with his tongue. “Any regrets, lovely Leigh?”’

  She shook her head. “But what do we do when Mom gets back? I have to be with you.”

  “I know.” He clasped her close. “We’ll figure something out. Like a passionate affair. We
’ll meet in secret and jump each other’s bones in the library.”

  Ashleigh giggled. “That sounds like fun. And what else?”

  “I have an apartment in Manhattan. You’re supposed to take that field trip in May.”

  “That’s true.” She reached up to trace a finger lovingly down his perfect nose. “And will you turn yourself into fog and steal in my bedroom at night?”

  “I can do that,” he laughed. Then he said without a trace of humor, “Are you still on the pill?”

  “How did you know?”

  “Mom told me you had painful periods.” Ashleigh turned over, feeling uncomfortable that her mother discussed her reproductive organs with her stepbrother. “What’s wrong?”

  “Oh, nothing. Just you and Mom feel it necessary to discuss my uterus in private that’s all.”

  “I have just intimately acquainted myself with your lovely body and you’re angry over that?”

  “No, not really,” she admitted. “What if I get pregnant?”

  “Then I’ll marry you.”

  “Dad will kill us both, so you needn’t bother.”

  “Don’t!” He reached for her. “It would have happened sooner or later.”

  Her eyes widened. “You think so?”

  Sebastian nodded, stroking her hair. “Think I could have stayed away from you much longer?”

  Ashleigh nestled close against him. “I’m not ashamed, Bastian, if that’s what you’re thinking.”

  “I know, love.”

  “How do we keep it a secret? Dad is getting better.”

  “I don’t know.” Sebastian kissed her softly and wrapped himself around her. “Don’t worry so much. We’ll figure out something.”

  Ashleigh lay awake listening to the quiet drum of his heart and desperately wanted to believe it. But sooner or later they would have to face the wrath of their father and woe unto anyone caught in the crosshairs.

  She moaned as he entered and arched her hips in delight. “Bastian,” she gasped, reaching to stroke her aching breasts.
