Rapture (McKenzie Brothers) (11 page)

I stretch my body like a cat as I enjoy every aching muscle in my body and sigh. It was definitely the perfect morning for a lazy day in bed, but I did need to catch up on mundane tasks such as laundry.

I sigh, I have no desire to get out of bed or even move beyond the first stretch. I smile remembering the first night of passion with Sebastian. It was more than anything I could have dreamed of. Every day after that was even more wonderful. Every early morning wakeup
call from Sebastian was to find him hard as steel inside me, which made my body all relaxed and sated. He’d brought me to climax three times before taking his own pleasure. But, unfortunately he had to go into the office for a meeting he was unable to get out of or postpone like he’d done for the past three days. Three days of pure bliss.

Ramon
, on seeing that Sebastian was planning on spending his time here with me at his apartment because it has better security, had decided to go ahead with a business trip to New York and wasn’t due back until later today.

Stretching
, I throw the quilt off and head for the bathroom where I’m finished with my morning regime within ten minutes, and sliding my legs into my black yoga pants and pink t-shirt followed by my sneakers.

Feeling happy, relaxed
and looking forward to my day, I walk through to the kitchen for my second coffee of the day, the first one having been brought to me in bed as Sebastian kissed me good bye, which nearly had him climbing back into bed with me.

Smiling to myself, I take a sip of my coffee before placing it on the breakfast bar in order to get something to eat. Reaching below
, I grab the box of fruit loops, which Sebastian keeps teasing me about, although it didn’t stop him from eating two bowls for breakfast yesterday.

Pouring some into the bowl I retrieve
d from the dishwasher, I pour milk on and then sitting down to eat I spot my cell, which is flashing with messages.

Unlocking it, they are all from Sebastian apart from one, which is from Lily.
Deciding Lily’s message is likely to be short and sweet, I read that one first.

‘
Carla, if you’re free, do you fancy lunch at my house?’

That is one question I can answer without even having to think about it.

‘
I’d love to. See you in an hour or so.’

I continue munching on the fruit loops
while I start to read through Sebastian’s messages.

‘At work.’

‘I wish you were with me.’

‘When I left
, I just wanted to climb back into bed with you. You have no idea how hard it was for me to leave you…or how hard I was for you.’

I snicker
.

‘Carla, talk to me.’

‘Are you asleep?’

‘Carla you’re frustrating the hell out of me.’

‘Damn it woman.’

Deciding to put him out of his misery
, I come up with a reply.

‘I’m awake now. Although
, I woke up naked, wet and hungry for you and the hardness between your legs.’

I click send and
smile. I know exactly what it will do to him and it makes me eager to think up another sexy message. Quickly shoving the dish back into the dishwasher now that I’ve finished the loops, I collect my coffee and relax into the chair by the window to look out at the skyline while typing out another message.

‘I’m thinking about last night when you let me suck you off. I’m thinking about how it felt to suck your balls into my mouth
. What it felt like to taste you when you leaked on the tip. And most of all, I’m thinking about how it felt knowing that my wet mouth on you could make you quiver and lose control so quickly.’

Okay, perhaps I shouldn’t
be too naughty considering he’s at the office and maybe in a meeting or even worse giving his work instructions to Jacky, who he’d promised would be transferred to another department if she carried on touching him and trying to get into his pants.

Beep. Beep. Beep
.

I can’t keep the grin from my fac
e when I unlock the phone again and find his reply waiting for me.

‘You. Are. One. Wicked. Woman. My cock is hard as fuck, dripping at the ti
p and wants inside your tight wet cunt.’

I’m startled reading the ‘c’ word at the end of Sebastian’s message. Oh don’t get me wrong I’m not a prude, but Seb hasn’t used that one before and I can’t decide whether or not I like it. My body
certainly reacts to hearing it. I wonder how Sebastian’s body will react to my next message if I try the ‘c’ word out?

‘My cunt needs your cock inside me. Fucking me. Making me come.’

I feel myself blushing after I click send. I’ve never spoken like I just have, but before my embarrassment can get a proper hold of me my cell rings.

Sebastian.

Blushing like a virgin, I answer.

“Hey, how you doing?”

After a pause, he answers, “Is that a serious question baby? Because after that last message I’m so close to locking myself in the bathroom and having phone sex with you.”

Oh God!

“Baby, right now I’m joking. I have a meeting about to start, but my cock is hard and throbbing, wanting to sink into that tight
cunt
of yours,” he says and starts to chuckle when he says the ‘c’ word out loud making me gasp. “Carla, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of dirty talk between lovers, and when I get my hands on you, I’m going to whisper a hell of a lot more while
I fuck you, making you come
.”

“
Seb,” I moan, “you’re lethal.”

Before we became one, three days ago
, he’d have me wet, but now he has me soaked.

“I love how you call me Seb. My brothers call me that on occasion, but I
love hearing it on your lips,” he tells me, but I can hear someone talking in the background, before Sebastian says, ‘I’ll be right there’. “Carla, I’m sorry. I have to go, but I promise to be back as soon as I can.”

“Okay, but I’m heading over to Lily and Michael’s place soon. Lily’
s invited me to lunch and before you say anything I will get security to escort me to my car and then I’m straight there and straight back with no stops in between.” I bite my lip knowing he isn’t going to like this.

“Promise me. Y
ou’ll ring security on approach to the building so they can meet you parking the car.”

I can imagine Sebastian running his hands through his hair in agitation because he’s unable to be with me when I’m leaving the apartment.

“I promise. Now go to your meeting and don’t worry about me.”

“I love you, Carla
. Always. I’ll see you later.”

“I love you, too.”

I hang up and sit for a few minutes looking out of the window not really seeing anything, lost in thought and wondering when Gary’s going to rear his ugly violent head again.

Sebastian

The meeting finally comes to an end and I almost give a whoop of delight as I see everyone out of the office and to the elevators. I walk back to my office, only to find Jacky bending over my desk wiggling her ass.

“Jacky?” I shout louder than I intend
, making her jump, but I’m not at all sure that she didn’t hear me walk in behind her. It’s my own damn fault she keeps throwing herself at me, and my brothers.

Moving to stand behind my desk,
I notice a freshly brewed coffee sitting in place as I unload my arms of the documents while trying to think of something to say to get her to stop. If she wasn’t such a good worker I’d have transferred her by now, but the fact is she’s damn good at her job and keeps me organized.

“Look,” I rub the back of my neck in discomfort, “can we just have a working relationship here, Jacky. I’m with someone now and I’ve no intention of letting her go.”

Sitting down, I lean back and offer her the seat opposite me before continuing, “You’re an attractive woman and there are lots of guys out there who would love to be with you–”

“But not you,” she
interrupts, crossing her arms and glaring at me.

“But not me.
The woman I’m with means a lot to me so you and I need to get back to a working relationship. I only took you out the one time and nothing happened – sexually.”
God, why me?
“So um, do you think we can get along and that you can stop, well,” I wave my hands around, “you know.”

She starts to laugh.
“Are you trying to ask me to stop flashing my ass and boobs in your face and to stop bending over things, which gives you ideas?”

“Yes. I mean No.
Fuck,
I mean yes stop flashing your body in front of me and no, you do not give me ideas.” I let out a frustrated sigh. This woman is enough to drive a man to the bottle!

“I guess I can do that. If you’re sure
there isn’t any chance with you.” She sounds hopeful.

I
shake my head and start flitting through the papers on my desk wanting this discussion over with.

“What about Ruben?”

Having just taken a sip of coffee, I start to choke at her question.

“What about me?
” Ruben asks walking into the office. “Hey Jacky. How’s it going?” He sits in the spare visitor’s chair across from my desk.

“I’m okay
.” She shrugs her shoulders. “I was just asking Sebastian if you wanted a woman,” she blurts out to my stunned brother.

I start to laugh
after a few moments when Ruben still doesn’t reply. A woman has finally left my big, badass brother, speechless. This is too good to be true.

Ruben turns his head and gives me a death glare, which used to work as kids, but not anymore and it just makes me laugh all the more. Seeing Jacky’s face start to fall, I finally manage to draw breath and compose myself back
into the hotshot businessman that I am.

“Jacky, why would you want to know if I wanted, um, a woman? What makes you think I don’t already have one? And what makes you think Sebastian here doesn’t need one?
” he smirks.

Hearing his last question, I just hope Jacky doesn’t pick
up on it because as yet neither Ramon or me have explained to our family about Carla now being with me.

“He has a woman.” She stands up straightening her clothes before stomping out of the office and banging the door behind her.

Ruben frowns. “This woman. Is she real or to stop Jacky?”

Sighing, knowing I’m going to have to tell him something. “Yes, it’s true.”

He opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out as he shuts it again.

“It’s been complicated. Not so much now, but it’s been hell as I thought she was with someone else. As it turns out she wasn’t really with him.
The whole damn situation was driving me crazy.” I drag a hand from the back of my neck, over my head and down my face in exhaustion, although my exhaustion now has more to do with the sexy as sin woman I can’t do without.

“Carla,” Ruben says, with a wry grin on his face. “I have eyes. As far as I’m aware you’ve behaved for months now. I’
ve also seen you lusting after her when you thought no one was watching, and vice versa.” He sits forward in his chair. “What I don’t understand is her relationship with Ramon, if she wants you and you’re now with her.”

Itching to call Carla, I start fiddling with my cell
while I stare at my brother. “He told us about Gary the other day. He’s the reason why Ramon pretended she was his girlfriend. She was already living with him for protection so he asked her to act as his girlfriend before Mom found out and started on about living in sin and getting married.” I lean back in my chair. “You know what she’s like. He had no idea his ‘no commitment’ brother would fall for her and vice-versa.”

“Fuck.
Well at least she wasn’t actually dating Ramon, that would have been, um, awkward.”

“Yeah, tell me about it.” I
let the silence go on, unwilling to break it.

Something’s wrong, probably at his club and I wish he’d just come out and tell me instead of prolonging the inevitable, but I don’t have all day. I have some paperwork to get done for Jacky to handle over the next day or two while I’m with Carla so I ask, “What are you doing here? I’ve been acting CEO for about six months now and I can count on one hand the amount of times you’ve been in here during that time.”

He looks uneasy as he looks anywhere but at me.

“Rosie
was attacked in one of the restrooms at the club last night.”

My eyes widen as I watch my brother stand and begin to pace, back and forth in front of my desk. “She’s alright,
Keith got to her just in time to watch her knee him in the balls. Thank God. I tried to get her to move into my spare room, but she won’t have any of it because I’m her fucking boss. The pig headed woman.”

At this, I start to chuckle.
“Are you sure your motive was purely honorable.” My brother, unbeknown to him, has a thing for ‘little Rosie’ and watching them together is entertaining to say the least.

He scowls, ignoring my comment.
“She says she doesn’t know the guy, but it’s the same guy you saved her from on the dance floor the other night. Keith recognized him. I don’t know what the fuck is going on at my own club and it’s pissing me off.” Stopping in front of my desk, he looks at me. “I came here to see if you, Ramon and Lucien can come down to the club and keep a look out, but as though you’re there drinking, catching up. Something is going on and I intend to find out just what.”

I nod.
“That’s fine, but I don’t really want to bring Carla into trouble, she’s in enough as it is. I also don’t want to leave her at night either.” I need to work something out to help him. “Leave it with me. I want to help you so we’ll see what can be worked out. Are you going to talk to the others?”

“Yeah, I’m heading over there now.” Ruben starts to leave then looks back over his shoulder
. “Thanks Sebastian.”

“Don’t say anything to anyone about me and Carla just yet, okay?” I shout after him and see him acknowledge my request with a shake of his hand over his shoulder.
