Daylight

Chapter Twenty-Six

They went about the routine of putting Luca to bed together, and tonight he asked for Ava to read to him. He curled up in her lap like he used to when he was smaller and wrapped his arms around his mother as she read, and finally she sang him a quiet song before tucking him in and leaving him to sleep.

Running her fingers through her hair, she sighed softly as she walked into the bedroom behind Sebastian. "He's worried about me," she observed. "I hope he sleeps well. He used to check on me a few times a night."

"I'm sure he'll sleep okay." Sebastian turned to face her. He'd taken off his shirt and jeans, and stood before her in just a dark navy pair of briefs.

"Could you help me with my buttons?" she asked daintily as she approached him. Her hands hurt and besides, wasn't it sexier to have him take her clothes off anyway?

His smile softened as he watched her shut their bedroom door before stepping towards him. "Sure," he murmured.

Sebastian took his time, slowly unbuttoning her blouse before gently untucking it and letting it fall from her shoulders.

"Gracias," she thanked sweetly, tossing her hair loosely before she took another step in even closer to him. "Now my pants?"

He chuckled softly but didn't say a word as he placed slow kisses to her shoulder before working his way down her body. Seb stopped to gently flick her nipples with his tongue over the fabric of her bra before he continued downward, dropping to his knees as he placed kisses to her stomach.

Soft breaths passed her lips as he knelt down, turning her eyes downward to watch him. She felt butterflies in her stomach as he placed kisses there, the thrill of anticipation building inside of her. Smoothing her hand through his hair, she smiled down at him. "That feels nice..."

Sebastian grinned up at her, giving her a half smile as he lowered her jeans, then bit down on her hip gently before sucking on the skin.

A girlish giggle found its way out of her in spite of all that had happened in the day. Sebastian had a way of doing that, of taking her someplace out of herself. "Be careful," she warned, playfully quiet.

"Be careful?" He asked playfully before he ran his lips across her skin onto to gently bite her other hip. "Or what?"

She bit her lip as she tried not to grin widely down at him. "Or I... might have to take my body to bed untouched," she replied, smoothing her hands over her sides.

Sebastian raised a brow at her. "Oh really? You'd actually do that? Turn yourself off that easily?"

"I don't want to, but sometimes bad boys need consequences," she reminded him with a wink. "I could take care of myself, though. Right next to you."

Holy shit. Sebastian never thought about Ava taking charge like she was, but feeling his cock press against his briefs, he knew it was a major turn on.

"So, if you want to be the one to satisfy me, I will ask you to play nice," Ava continued, cocking her head to an angle as she smoothed her hand over his jawline.

"Ava, if you keep talking like that, you'll make me cum in my boxers," he murmured. His pupils were blown out, just a rim of blue able to be seen as he stared up at her.

She felt a flush of heat spread from her core through the rest of her body, her fingertips tingling. "Was that a warning or encouragement?" she asked, raising a brow as she smoothed her thumb over his bottom lip. "I think I like it, you on your knees..."

He smiled up at her before kissing her thumb. "I like being on my knees for you."

"So, what will it be?" she asked sensually. "Will you be a good boy, or do I have to punish you?"
