Roxanne's Redemption (14 page)

She pushed back the covers and swung her legs over the edge of the bed
,
and then
she stretched and yawned
as she stood
. The bathroom had little light so she
flipped the switch
and winced as the light filled the room
,
making her head hurt more. She stripped
out of her clothes
and stepped under the shower, shivering as the cold water touched her skin. After her shower she took two Advil, hoping it and the shower would be enough to make her feel like herself again.

She brushed her teeth then returned back to her bedroom to get dress
ed
. She took the sheets off
the
bed and tossed them in the hamper,
then
pulled the hamper down
the
stairs
, parking it outside the second guest room
. She froze as she stepped inside. There w
as somebody sleeping in the bed, but she
couldn’t tell who it was for the person
was facing the other way
.

She racked her brain tr
y
ing to remember last night but it was no good
.
She
was about to ask who it was
when
she suddenly found
herself staring into
eyes that were heavy with sleep
.
Roxanne suppressed a groan
as her pussy grew wet. She wondered briefly how he would react if she climbed on the be
d
with him and beg him to take her hard and fast. She bit back a whimper before it escaped.
She wanted him but she was scared. Having her heart broken so many times
was
taking a toll on her
, plus what they had wasn’t real. She wasn’t talking about the attraction between them for that was as real as
she was
.
Maybe
when Ashley finally backed off she would conquer all her fears
by
getting down and dirty with him.

“
Good
morning
,
Roxanne.”

She shivered
when his sleepy voice drawled her name. “Sebastian,” she said
then winced at how shrill she sounded
.
Toning
her voice down she asked, “What happened last night?”

Sebastian sighed and sat up in the bed with the sheet
drap
ed around his waist. Immediately her eyes were glued to his golden, muscled chest. Her mouth water
ed.
She
shook her head trying to shake off the
lust
so she could concentrate on what he was about to say
.

* * * *

Sebastian’s cock
jump
ed
to attention at the heat he saw in Roxanne’s eyes
when
she looked at him and prayed tha
t her eyes wouldn’t move south
. What would she do now if he got up from the bed
and pretend
ed
to forget
that he was naked? He was tempted t
o do it, but he wasn’t going to.
Well
,
not yet anyway. He tried not to groan when he saw her nipples pokin
g
through
her
shirt
.
He
shook his head to clear
his
lust
-
filled
thoughts so he could answer her question.

“After you and your friends joined us last night, you drank a few
,
” he cleared his throat and continued, “
m
artinis
and
tequila shots.” He
chuckled when
her eyes widen
ed
and she winced and ducked her head
.

She was probably wondering what she said
or did
last night while she was drunk. He shook his head
when she looked up again
.

“You didn't say or
do anything insane last night,
”
he said
,
trying to pacify her before she went hysterical. He heard her sigh
of
relief
and smiled
. Her eyes widen
ed
and her mouth fell open a few minutes later
and he wondered what the problem was now.

Sebastian followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at his cock, which was getting harder
the longer she stared
. She
licked her lips and he groaned.
Her
eyes flew to his face and he saw panic and desire war
ring in her eyes
.

“Sorry, I'm going to finish cleaning,” she mumbled
then
ran from the room. Why did she try to fight the attraction between them? Maybe she didn't feel
it
. He shook his head
.
T
hat couldn’t be true because the heat he saw in her eyes was enough to start a fire
.
A
nd her nipples poking through her shirt
were
solid proof that she wanted him
.

He sighed. He didn't know the reason but he
wasn’t going to
stop until
he did.

Chapter
Fourteen

She ran from
Sebastian again
!

She didn't even thank him for bringing her home safely last night, nor did she get the sheets she
’d
go
ne
for
in the first place. As embarrassing as that was she didn't know what else to do. It wasn’t like she could go back and apologize for running away.

But she couldn’t have stopped herself running if she’d tried
.
What
woman would like feeling so conflicted all the time? Sure
,
part of her liked the feelings but another part hated when he was around and she went from wanting to
run far away
,
to all hot and bothered
,
then content
,
and lastly
another deeper
emotion
—that she didn't want to think about—at the same time
.
That
scared
her more than she
was willing to admit to anyone,
much less herself. What was she going to do?
She
felt attraction before but
this was sizzling and
she really didn't know how to handle it.

Even now she could still feel her pussy getting wet
at the
thought
him lying in the bed naked, except
for
the sheet covering his growing erection
.
Roxanne
shook her head
as she tried
to shake off the lust so she could
finish cleaning
before Lexi
and
Zach
arrived
.

“I suppose you came i
n
the room for something.”

She jumped. “
Why are you sneaking up on me?”

He grinned and that had her heart doing cartwheels. Shit! “I'm sorry I frightened you.”

Roxanne nodded and ran to the guestroom where she stripped the sheets off the bed
.
She
threw them in the washer
with the others
and started the machine. She took deep breaths trying to calm her
racing
heart and her
desire to strip and lick him
. When that was done
,
she started cleaning the house from top to bottom and hope
d
she didn't flood the house the next time she creamed just from watching Sebastian grin.

Some
hours later she was
finally
done c
leaning the house. She
’d
swept
and mopped every corner. The laundered clothes were now folded. The beds in every room now had a clean sheet, plus the bathrooms were now
sparkling
and now she was hungry and tired from all that work.

She had no one to blame but herself
.
Sebastian had offered to help
but
she’d refuse
d.
He’d
went away grumbling that he would make himself useful and make breakfast
,
then he
’d
smiled
and
her
heart
had
flipped
as
moisture flooded her panties
.

Roxanne headed to the kitchen intent on getting somethi
ng to eat
.
S
he didn't care what it was as long as it was edible. As she rounded the corner she saw Sebastian at the sink shirtless. Immediately her hunger for food was replace
d
with hunger f
or Sebastian. She felt her panties
dampen;
her nipple
s
tighten
ed
and r
ubbed against her lace bra raising
her arousal up another notch. She barely managed to stifle her moan.

“Eat.”

Roxanne blinked, then blinked again
before looking from
Sebastian
to the plate of food
he’d
set on
the table
.

“Thank you,” she said as she sat down. Her eyes widen
ed
when she saw
the amount of food
on the plate
. She
didn't know she
ha
d
this much food in her fridge; nevertheless she was
still
going food shopping later.

She ate with gusto, closing her eyes and moaning every time pieces of the food touch
ed
her tongue. She
was
good in the kitchen, but Sebastian was a god in the kitchen.

“Stand up.
”

Her
eyes flew open
and widen
ed
at the huskiness in Sebastian's voice. One look
into
his eyes was all it took to rekindle her desire for him. The desire that shone
from them
had her trembling
one moment,
and
then
fidgeting
the
next
.
She
knew what would happen if she did stand up
,
but she couldn’t stop her body even
when a part of her was dying to
run away
.

“I’m going to kiss you,” he said when she
stood
and
before she could utter a protest
his mouth covered hers.

She opened her mouth without a second thought, not caring a
nymore if it was wrong or right,
h
e thrust his tongue into her mouth
and
the
ir tongues
tangled
. He tasted lik
e coffee and faintly of mint. The kiss wasn’t
gentle
,
it was wild and sizzling
which suited her just fine. It reminded her of the sexual tension that had been building between them from the first time they met.

He pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss
.
L
ift
ing
her up in his arms
,
he
walked over to the count
er as she
gr
ou
nd her pussy
over
his
jeans
-
covered erection.
The zipper rubbed against her clit in the sweetest
way
.
She
moan
ed
.
As
h
e
positioned
her on the counter
,
he wrapped his arms around her waist
and
then one disappeared
under her shirt.
