Ava

The next three weeks go by in a blink of an eye, or so it seems. There's plenty to do at the office—which I am used to. What I am not used to is coming home and not being alone. Since the Bennetts found out I moved in with Sebastian, they find an excuse to drop by every other evening.

Like the eternal pessimist I am, I keep waiting for the fairy tale to end. If something is too good to be true, it probably is—that's what Mom always said. The trouble? Sebastian's more amazing with each passing day, and his skills in bed are unmatched. Seriously. This man can do things with his mouth that should be illegal. Okay, so maybe fairy tale wasn't the right name for this.

Unless it's the adult version, that is.

"Sebastian, stop, or I'll be late," I say, without much conviction in my voice. He smiles against my swollen flesh and lifts his mouth. He keeps his finger on my clit, applying pressure.

"You're the one who said you want to be woken up like this every morning," he whispers in my ear as I dig my fingers in his back, my breath frantic. Tension builds inside me. My hands roam over the hard lines on his naked torso, his manly scent overwhelming me.

"I don't, thiwatonow," I babble, spectacularly aware of all my nerve endings. The rhythmic movement of his finger ignites me.

"I love it when you forget English."

That's when I come. Hard and fast. I plant my heels in the mattress, bucking against his strong hand. He captures my orgasm in a kiss, holding me close to him until my breathing and heart rate slow down.

"Good morning," Sebastian says.

When I'm certain I can string coherent words together, I say, "Good morning to you too, handsome." Supporting himself on his forearms and knees, he towers over me. "I really need to shower and go meet your sister." It's Saturday morning, and Pippa and I scheduled a girls' day out for today.

"You're taking advantage of me, you know that?" he asks, tracing my lower lip with his thumb.

"And I'm enjoying every minute of it."

I shower quickly, putting on a light green dress. When I arrive in the living room, Sebastian's talking on the phone. He has his business face on. I catch the word senator, and grin. Yes! This is Sebastian Bennett, ladies and gentlemen. Wakes me up with an orgasm, and then talks senators into doing whatever he wants. More proof that his mouth is magic.

Tiptoeing around the place, I make myself a sandwich and eat it, then strap my sandals on. Sebastian catches up with me as I'm about to leave the apartment.

"You're taking over my family." Hooking his arms around my waist, he pulls me to him for a kiss. He lightly brushes my lips, but he's only wearing boxers, and being this close to his bare chest is a dangerous endeavor. I might end up not leaving, after all.

"Does it bother you?"

"Well, I'm a greedy bastard and want you all to myself."

"You know what I mean."

"No, Ava, why would it bother me? You're not my dirty little secret. Even though you can be dirty in bed."

"I thought you liked it," I say shyly.

He pushes me against the door, spreading my legs with his knees. In a quick move, he pins my hands above my head. "I love it when you're feisty. You look at me like there isn't anyone else in the world you'd rather be with."

"Well, there isn't," I say truthfully.

"I'd better let you go, beautiful."

"You call me beautiful a lot."
