Free Reinvention of Chastity by Eve Vaughn Page B

Dallas screamed, falling back on the couch, her body shuddering with laughter.
    “Yes, I did, and to be honest, I can hardly believe it myself. You have no idea how hard it was for me to walk away like he didn’t have the same affect on me as I obviously did on him.” Chastity tried hard not to remember the way his hands felt on her skin, the way his mouth slid against hers, or the thrust of his fingers in her pussy.
    Sebastian’s hard body pressed so deliciously against hers was all she could think about since it had happened earlier in the day. He kept giving her smoldering looks whenever he walked by her desk for the rest of the day. The tension could be cut with a knife.
    Dallas squeezed her hand. “I’m so proud of you, girlfriend. Wait until we tell the guys. They’ll be thrilled too.”
    “Yes, the plan seems to be going well. I didn’t think I had it in me, but just when I find myself falling under his spell again, I think about what he said.”
    “That’s the spirit. You should get a digital camera and take a picture of his facial expression when you drop the bomb on him.”
    Chastity shrugged. “And then what? Post it over the internet? No, I don’t want to humiliate him to that level. As much as he’s hurt me, I could never be that malevolent.”
    “Yet he humiliated and used you.”
    “He didn’t realize I was listening.”
    “Why are you starting to make excuses for him? You’re not chickening out, are you?”
    “Of course not.” Something still nagged her about this entire thing. It was true that he’d used her, but did Sebastian really deserve this?

    Dallas pursed her lips, not looking quite convinced. “You don’t sound very enthusiastic.”
    “I am.”
    “Are you really? Don’t punk out on the plan now. You have to show this bastard not to toy with you again.”
    “I’m not backing out. I just…well, what happens if he does start having feelings for me? What if I don’t have it in me to hurt him?”
    Dallas crossed her arms, a shrewd look entering her dark eyes. “Is that all that’s on your mind? There’s something you’re not telling me.”
    With a sigh, Chastity decided to unload completely. “I’m not sure if I can do this and not let my feelings get in the way.”
    “You can’t be serious. After what that turkey said about you, you’re still harboring feelings for him?”
    “Feelings aren’t like a faucet. You can’t just turn them on and off, just like that. Anyway, I didn’t say I had feelings for him, just that I’m not sure if I can go through with this and not get hurt. The incident in the bathroom today shook me up more than I would have liked it to.”
    “But then that means you have to keep reminding yourself of what a rat he is. Don’t let yourself get caught up. Sure, he may be able to touch you in the right places and do things your body hasn’t experienced before, but keep in mind that it’s just physical and nothing more.”
    “But how? I’m not experienced in this like you.”
    “It sounds like you were doing fine to me. Is this what’s really running through your mind or are you just trying to find a reason to back out?”
    “I’m not trying to back out; I’m just trying to weigh all the pros and cons.”
    “Well, you can’t end this now. I won’t let you,” Dallas said stubbornly.
    Chastity hopped off the couch, placing hands on ample hips. “ You won’t let me?”
    “You’re damn right. Me and the boys put a lot of work in to give you this new look.”

    “Is my look what this is all about? Do you think if I halt this crusade of revenge my makeover would have been in vain? Never mind that I feel good about myself, and for the first time I don’t feel like your ugly friend.”
    Dallas’s jaw dropped. To say she looked stunned would have been an understatement. “You’re not serious, are you?”
    “Do I need to spell it out for you?”
    “Obviously you do, because I can’t
