Just Twin Fire Signs, Four Blue Eyes

Chapter Five

"How am I supposed to leave now, sweetheart?"

"Come inside, then."

I can see the lust in Sebastian's eyes as he gives me a devilish grin. He pulls his phone out to text Samson that he'll be coming inside with me and we watch as he drives off down the street.

"I'm ready whenever you are, sweetheart."

I bite my lip and take Sebastian's hand to lead him upstairs. I show him around my small apartment and grab us both a glass of water.

Sebastian picks up a picture frame I have sitting out on my coffee table. "Is this your family?"

"Yes! That's me with my mom, dad, and younger brother on vacation."

Seb smiles at the photo of us and places it back down. I let him roam around the apartment as I sip on my water. He asks a few more questions about pictures scattered around the room and I think it's so sweet how truly interested he is. He's not asking just to make small talk, he genuinely wants to know more about my family and friends.

I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist, burying my face in the scent of his shirt. Sebastian looses my arms around him gently and turns to face me. He pulls me back in close to him and kisses the top of my head.

"El, can I ask you something?" I hear him whisper.

I nod my head, signally for him to continue.

"Are you okay with what happened at the restaurant tonight...the guy filming you?"

I pull my head back to look him in the eyes. "I promise you, I'm okay. I wouldn't lie to you."

He gives me a quick smile, one that doesn't reach his eyes like they normally do. So I know he's not fully convinced.

I reach up to plant kisses along his jaw and run my fingers through his hair. He brings his head down to kiss me, rough and needy. I let go and allow him full control in the moment. I moan against his tongue as he deepens our kiss and the sound drives him crazy. He hums his approval and reaches down to grab my legs and hook them behind his back. I feel him walk us across the room to sit down on the couch.

With my legs on either side of his thighs, I feel his arousal. His hands find their way under my dress, the warm touch sending my nerves into a frenzy. He grips my waist and pulls me down onto him, creating a heated friction between us. I throw my head back and moan at the feeling.

Sebastian hands roam my body, memorizing every curve. His lips leave a trail of marks across my chest while I take my time slowly grinding down on him. One particularly hard bite takes me by surprise and I press my body down on his harder than I planned. He groans and closes his eyes as his head falls back slightly. I catch him by surprise again as I bend down to kiss the inside of his neck, just below his jaw. He tangles his hands in my hair, pulling it and spurring me on.

Sebastian's hands loosen in my hair and he brings a hand down to my jaw, pulling my lips away from him. I give him a small pout and he smiles. He kisses me softly for a moment before pulling back to say something.

"You know exactly what to do to drive me crazy."

He reaches his hand up to my face and sweeps his thumb across my lower lip.

"I'm falling for you, Eliana." He admits, his voice barely above a whisper.

My heart flutters at his sweet words.

"I falling for you too Sebastian."

I wrap my arms around his neck once more and he pulls me in for a tight embrace. I can feel his steady heartbeat in his chest and I know in this moment, I've never felt for someone the way that I feel for him.

After a while, we settle into a more comfortable position in the couch. We turn on the television to play mindless in the background as we both fall asleep, entangled with one another.

The bright sun of the morning shines in my eyes way earlier than I had wanted to be awake. In all honesty though, I'd love to spend the rest of my life on this couch with Sebastian's arms wrapped around me. Though I know eventually we'd have to get up to eat. I can already feel the emptiness of my stomach.

I slip off the couch as quietly as I can, being careful not to wake Sebastian. I run to the bathroom to clean myself up a bit. I wipe off the day old makeup and brush out the tangles from my hair. I quickly brush my teeth and change out of my dress before making my way back into the kitchen to find something for us to eat. I grab everything I need to make pancakes, and set to work cooking. By the time Sebastian wakes up, I've got enough pancakes to feed a soccer team. He comes into the kitchen and lets out a loud laugh at the comically large stack of pancakes on my counter.

"How hungry do you think I am?" He asks me through his laughter.

I just shake my head at him. "Okay I admit, I'm not the best cook...and I may have overestimated how much matter to mix up."

"Well, they smell phenomenal, thank you sweetheart."

Sebastian comes over and slinks his arms around my waist. My eyes flutter closed as he kisses his way from the top of my shoulder up to my cheek. I feel his finger come up to turn my head towards him, he mumbles 'that's better' as he kisses me on the lips.

Sebastian's offers to clean up my pancake mess after breakfast, which I happily accept.

"I'd like to take you somewhere special this week." He says as he rinses off the last dish.

"That sounds nice! What day were you thinking?"

"I'll leave that up to you, I'm free everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday. Would you rather go out during the work week, or wait until the weekend?"

I think for a moment before responding. "I think either is fine. Friday might be the easiest though."

Sebastian walks over to sit next to me in the couch. He pulls me down to rest my head on his lap, and plays with my hair.

"Friday is perfect. How about I come pick you up here right after work?"

"That sounds perfect." I smile up at him, thinking of how lucky I am in this moment.
