Three

The car ride to the venue was uneventful other than Sebastian trying to convince me to breathe. My nerves were getting the best of me and five minutes before we arrived, Sebastian turned to the toy to get my mind off things. I hadn't noticed him take his phone out of his pocket so the sudden vibration surprised me.

I let out a small yelp and our driver asked if everything was okay.

"Oh yeah. She's just nervous." Sebastian says while smiling. I watch him hit the button to turn the toy off and I breathe again.

He smirks at me and I notice a slight bump in his pants. I smile sweetly and lean over as if I'm going to whisper in his ear. Instead, I listen to his breath catch as I move my hand against him, feeling the bulge grow slightly before I move my hand away and go back to looking out my window.

Sebastian lets out an irritated sigh and I can't help the smile that spreads across my lips. I love beating him at his own game.

We pull up to the venue and I feel my hands start to shake. I can already see camera flashes through the dark windows and I feel my heart in my throat.

"You ready?" Sebastian asks. I can only nod, my words getting trapped in my throat.

The door opens and I watch Sebastian as he steps out.

Cameras flash wildly and I hear people screaming in excitement as the paparazzi compete for Sebastian's attention.

I take a deep breath, trying to slow my racing heart as Sebastian turns back towards the car, holding his hand out for me.

This is it.

I take his hand and carefully step out of the car. The camera flashes are a bit disorienting and the screaming over takes my ears. I feel Sebastian squeeze my hand, trying to comfort me. I smile at him the best I can to let him know I'm okay and we begin to walk forward.

People scream for our attention, fans scream at Sebastian asking him for his autograph. He lets go of my hand momentarily so he can sign a few pictures. I watch as he works the crowd. He's a natural.

Sebastian comes back to my side, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Just smile while looking over their heads and remember to breathe." He says into my ear. I smile up at him and I see the excitement dancing in his eyes. He loves this. The happy look on his face fills me with my own happiness and it makes it easier for me to smile at cameras.

Soon, people are shouting, asking us to kiss. Sebastian looks down at me, as if asking for permission. I smile at him and pull him into a kiss. When we separate, I can see the flashes out of the corner of my eye but all I'm focused on is the man in front of me. I feel his other arm move toward his pocket before the vibration returns and I do my best to keep my composure. He's smiling, watching as I try not to give in to the sensation that is taking over all of my thoughts. I have to turn my head like I'm looking at something behind us so the cameras don't catch my face.

I am going to kill him.

I feel him laughing under his breath as the vibrations stop.

"Let's go inside." He smiles and I try my best to make my legs work.

When I turn to head toward the entrance, I stop dead in my tracks.

I'd know that blonde hair anywhere.

"Sebastian." I breathe, my blood already beginning to boil.

"Goddamn it." He murmurs. "Let's at least get out of view of the cameras." He sighs angrily as we continue to walk toward the entrance.
