  Chapter One

  Sebastian

  I take a subtle look at the woman standing next to me at my front door. She’s saying something, something I don’t hear, and then she giggles, not seeming to notice or care that I don’t respond.

  She’s drunk, but not so drunk that I’m taking advantage of her by bringing her back to my place. It was her who kept ordering more cocktails after the work dinner. It was her who slipped her shoes off beneath the table and ran her toes up my leg inside of my trousers. She might be a little bit tipsy, but she knows exactly what she wants. Me.

  She’s tall. Almost as tall as me, and she holds herself with confidence. A lot of tall women slouch, wanting to not stand out, but not Natalie. No, Natalie wants to be seen, to be noticed. Well she’s going to love tonight because fuck me I see her. I see her willowy waist, her full breasts and her long legs. I see the lust in her eyes and the glisten of moisture on her lips where she keeps licking them seductively.

  Oh I see her alright, and pretty soon, I’ll be seeing a whole lot more of her. Natalie catches me watching her as I miss the lock with the key. She smiles, a smile that sends a blast of fire through me. It’s the smile of a predator about to devour their prey. I’m good with that. I am most definitely open to being devoured by that sensual mouth of hers.

  “Is something distracting you Sebastian?” she asks, faking innocence even as she tugs at her top, revealing a little more cleavage.

  I let out a soft laugh.

  “Whatever gave you that impression?”

  “I thought maybe you were thinking about our potential merger,” Natalie smiles putting all of the emphasis on the merger.

  I finally manage to unlock the door. It’s not the smooth move I would have liked, but it sure doesn’t seem to have put Natalie off. I can almost smell the lust coming off her in waves.

  “Oh I think our merger is a sure thing,” I reply as I step inside my house and stand aside so Natalie can enter.

  She laughs and twiddles a strand of her silvery blonde hair around one finger. She looks down for a second and then looks up at me through her lashes, her smile widening.

  “How about the tour first?” she asks.

  “Sure,” I grin.

  I would have preferred to have gotten straight down to business so to speak. It’s not like Natalie was going to be anything other than a one night stand. Why does she want to see every room of my house? The only room she needs to see is my bedroom. Still, it won’t take too long. Why not?

  “So what’s down there?” she asks, pointing to a door off the hallway with a set of wooden steps leading down to a basement.

  “Oh that’s where I keep the bodies of those who have double crossed me,” I laugh.

  “No seriously? What’s down there?” she pouts. “I bet it’s a flashy wine cellar isn’t it?”

  “Not exactly,” I laugh. “I’m more of a bourbon man.”

  When it’s clear to me she isn’t going to relent and just let me whisk her off to the bedroom, I bite back the sigh and lead her to the stairs. I lead her down, pulling on the light as I step inside the door. Natalie laughs when we reach the bottom of the stairs and she sees the room.

  The basement covers the entire length and width of my house in one room, and I’ve made it into a games room. There’s a full size pool table, several pinball machines, a dart board and a few video game machines. There’s also a well stocked bar in the corner, several high stools lining it, and half a dozen bean bags scattered around the room. I decide to make the most of the tour. I head for the bar and pour out two large bourbons. I hand one to Natalie who sips it and makes a face and then laughs.

  “It’s strong,” she says.

  “What can I say? I thought I’d get you drunk and take advantage of you,” I grin.

  “Works for me,” she laughs.

  I begin to relax a little as I sip the bourbon. Natalie is a sure thing. She hasn’t asked for the tour because she’s having second thoughts. She’s just nosey. I can deal with nosey.

  “So, do you want to continue the tour or do you want me to kick your ass at pool first?” I ask.

  She glances over at the pool table and then she smiles and shakes her head.

  “The rest of the tour sounds good. I can do without the humiliation of being thrashed at pool,” she says.

  I lead the way back upstairs.

  “Yeah people say I’m pretty good with my balls,” I say, looking back over my shoulder and winking at Natalie.

  “Oh I bet you are,” she grins back.

  I reach the top of the stairs and take her into the lounge. It’s a reasonable sized room, with brown leather sofas, an entertainment system, a coffee table, and little else.

  “Wow you like the whole minimalist thing don’t you?” Natalie remarks.

  “What more would I need in here?” I ask, genuinely curious as to what she thinks is missing.

  “I don’t know. The little things that make a house a home,” she says. She smiles. “This is such a bachelor pad. You need a woman’s touch.”

  “The only place I need a woman’s touch is …” I trail off, nodding towards my crotch.

  Natalie laughs and shakes her head, but she moves closer to me. I can smell the bourbon fumes on her breath when she whispers into my ear.

&n
bsp; “That can definitely be arranged.”

  “You know what?” I say. “Let’s finish the tour right here. The kitchen is a kitchen. Normal. Boring. My office is a no go area. So we may as well just head upstairs right now.”

  I don’t wait for her to respond. I turn and walk from the lounge, heading for the stairs. I know she’s following me, eager to get to the good bit herself now. I reach the top of the stairs and lead her along another hallway.

  “Bathroom. Linen closet,” I say pointing out doors as we pass them. “Spare bedroom. Another spare bedroom.”

  “You know if you get bored of the corporate world, you would make an excellent tour guide,” she laughs.

  “I aim to please,” I reply.

  I reach the end of the hallway and stop outside of the final door. I throw it open with a flourish.

  “And the only room you really wanted to see. My bedroom.”

  Natalie gives me another one of those lust filled grins that makes my cock twitch, and steps into the bedroom. She looks around for a moment and then nods her approval. Obviously the addition of a wardrobe and a chest of drawers makes this room more suitably furnished to Natalie’s tastes. She misses the point in my opinion. It’s all still practical stuff. There is nothing in this room that distinguishes it from a soulless hotel room.

  “Are you going to stand in the doorway all night then or are you coming in?” Natalie asks.

  She downs the last of her bourbon and puts the glass down on the chest of drawers. I step into the room and kick the door closed behind me. The moonlight streaming in the window gives us enough light to see by and I don’t bother switching the light on. I down the rest of my own bourbon and stand my glass beside Natalie’s.

  I go to her and pull her into my arms. My lips find hers and it’s like my kiss breathes life into her. She wraps her arms around me, her hands running up and down my back. Her mouth is hungry for me, her tongue probing into my mouth as her hands make their way beneath my shirt.

  I run my hands down Natalie’s body, feeling the curve of her hips. I move one hand between us and rub my fingers over her mound. She’s wearing loose fitting trousers, but she still moans at my touch. She presses herself tighter against my hand, moving her hips slightly.

  She pulls her mouth from mine and kisses down my face, over my jaw and down my neck. Her kisses bring goose bumps to the surface of my skin. She steps back from me and begins to unbutton my shirt. She pulls it down my arms and lets it drop to the floor and then she looks me up and down. She nods approvingly when she sees my abs and I bite my lip to stop myself from smirking.

  She runs her nails lightly over my chest and I increase the pressure on her mound. I lean in and kiss her again, walking her backwards towards my bed. When her legs hit the mattress, she breaks our kiss long enough to kick her heels off, hop up onto the bed and scoot backwards. I join her eagerly, wanting to get her out of those clothes, to taste her pussy.

  Our lips lock again as I reach down and begin to open her trousers. I have barely gotten the button open when my cell phone rings loudly in my pocket, making us both jump.

  “Ignore it,” Natalie breathes.

  Like I was going to do anything else. She finishes opening her trousers and pushes them down, kicking them away. Her legs have a light tan, and they’re every bit as long as I imagined them to be. I trail my fingers up one of her inner thighs. I run my fingers over her panties, feeling the clinging dampness of them. Oh she wants me alright. I push her panties to one side and slip my fingers inside of her lips. My cock hardens as I feel how wet she is. How ready for me.

  Natalie gasps as my fingers find her clit. I begin to work her, listening to her gasps as I bring her close to the edge. My cell phone rings again.

  “Goddammit,” I shout, pulling my hand away from Natalie and slamming my fist down on the mattress between us in frustration.

  I pull my phone out of my pocket, ready to cut the call off and turn the damned thing off. It’s Matt, my older brother. It has to be important for him to be calling at this hour. He’s not going to quit calling until I answer, and if I ignore him, he’ll start on the landline.

  “Fuck,” I say quietly.

  Natalie grabs my hand and tries to move it back down to her pussy. I pull it away gently.

  “I’m sorry. I have to take this. It’s my brother and he wouldn’t call at this time if it wasn’t something important. Make yourself comfortable, I won’t be a minute,” I tell her.

  I jump up off the bed, trying to ignore my erection as it presses uncomfortably against my trousers. I can hear Natalie sighing as I leave the room. I pull the door closed behind me. I know how she feels, but I plan on getting this call over with quickly and then making it up to her.

  “What?” I demand as I take the call in the hallway.

  “Charming,” Matt laughs.

  “I’m kind of busy here. What do you want?”

  “Well seeing as you brought it up, what I want is for you to stop fucking potential clients Seb. Jeez. Can you not just keep it in your fucking pants for once?”

  Apparently I can thanks to him.

  “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I say.

  “Sure you don’t. This could blow the whole deal,” Matt says.

  I can hear the irritation in his voice. It should be me who is irritated. I’m the one getting disturbed.

  “Don’t worry about that bro. The only thing getting blown here tonight will be me. If you ever get off the damned phone that is.”

  “Do you have to be so crude?”

  “Yup.”

  “Look I get that you think with your cock, but this is an important deal Seb,” Matt says.

  I’m getting annoyed now. Matt knows I would never do anything that would negatively affect the business.

  “Look it’s not like I dragged her here kicking and screaming. She made it quite clear she was interested,” I say.

  “Yeah? And what happens when she finds out you’re not interested in anything other than one night with her?”

  “Oh trust me. She’ll have had that good a time that she won’t hold it against me.”

  Matt sighs loudly.

  “Can you just be serious for one moment? You’re putting the deal in jeopardy and you know it. And for what? A cheap lay you won’t even remember this time next week.”

  His judgemental tone hits my last nerve.

  “You’re one to talk Matt. If I remember correctly, and I know I do, it was only a year or so ago that you almost allowed a fucking criminal who was stealing from us to walk free because you started to think with your cock instead of your head.”

  “That was different,” Matt snaps.

  “How? Because you were the one fucking up?”

  “No. Because Callie wasn’t just a conquest to me. I had real feelings for her.”

  “And how do you know I don’t have feelings for Natalie?”

  “Do you?”

  “Well no, but that’s not the point I’m making.”

  “So what is your point?”

  “My point is that I’m perfectly capable of keeping business and pleasure separate. Natalie and I are both adults and this won’t affect the deal. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a horny and pissed off woman waiting for me.”

  “Wait,” Matt says. “There is one other thing.”

  There’s something in the way he says it that piques my interest and instead of cutting off the call as I had planned to, I hear myself sigh and ask him what it is.

  “Well it’s something I know you’ll be very interested to hear. But it’s clear you’re otherwise engaged so maybe I’ll just tell you later,” he teases me.

  Now I’m really fucking intrigued. What could Matt know that he clearly wants so badly to tell me that he’s winding me up this way at one o’clock instead of being in bed with Callie?

  “Just spit it out,” I say.

  “What about Natalie? Isn’t she waiting for you?”

  Natalie who?
<
br />   “She can wait another couple of minutes.”

  “Kimberley is back in town,” Matt says.

  The playful tone is gone from his voice and I know he’s serious. The news hits me like a brick wall and I am momentarily mute. I find my voice eventually and I croak out a what, but it’s too late. Matt has hung up and I am left with the buzzing noise of a dead line in my ear.

  I freeze on the spot, the phone still glued to my ear although there’s no one on the other end. Kimberley is back in town. How? Why? When? I have so many questions. I can’t believe Matt dropped that bombshell on me and then hung up. I finally peel the phone away from my ear, and call Matt, but the call goes straight to his voicemail. He’s turned his phone off, just like I knew he would.

  I curse and throw my cell phone to the ground. Kimberley is back in town. It plays on a loop in my head as I picture the girl I once knew. She was stunning with flaming red hair and piercing green eyes. She had this laugh, a gentle musical sound that was so infectious that anyone around her would automatically laugh with her.

  I haven’t seen her in like four years, but the vision of her is still as fresh in my mind as it was the day she … Never mind. I’m not going to let myself go there. So Kimberley is back in town? So what?

  I hear a door open behind me and I jump. I turn around and see Natalie standing in the doorway to my bedroom. Fuck. I had forgotten she was even here. I can’t do this with her. Not now. My erection is long gone, and Natalie won’t be the one to bring my cock back to life tonight. I just want her gone.
