flung open. It was something out of a bad teenage drama as Sebastian’s eyes skimmed her naked body, and Ashleigh let out a horrendous shriek.
“Sebastian!”
He quickly shut the door. “I didn’t...see anything,” he stammered. “Why don’t you lock the damn door, woman!”
Ashleigh secured her robe and flung the door open, nearly ripping it off its hinges. “I can’t believe you!” she shouted in rage. “You knew I was taking a bath!”
He glared back. “I didn’t. There are eight bathrooms in this fucking house and you decide to take a bath in the one I always use!”
“Don’t you swear at me!” She was so angry she wanted to smack him.
“I’ll swear if I damn well please!”
Ashleigh was nearly as tall as he was and they stood nose to nose, venting the full range of their fury. “You did it on purpose!”
“I did not!” His cold eyes raked over her dispassionately. “I didn’t see a thing.”
That did it. Her hand snapped back to let him have it and he caught it, making her cry out in pain as he twisted it behind her. “Let go,” she gasped. “You’re hurting me!”
“Only if you play nice,” he growled. His pupils were fully dilated with his anger, rendering them an enraged black. She gasped as he grabbed the other arm and forced it behind her, thrusting her chest up against his. The robe was starting to open exposing her breasts, and Sebastian’s breath left him in a sharp exhale as the nipples burned through his T-shirt.
Ashleigh gasped in shock. She’d never been this close to a man before, and the feel of his hard body against hers was too much for her to bear. “L-let go,” she stammered. feeling a sudden ache between her thighs. “Please.”
Sebastian couldn’t move. A moan escaped him at the feel of her softly curving form against him and he yanked her tighter, slipping a powerful thigh between hers. Her eyes were soft and limpid as his mouth touched hers. The first touch of her lips and he was a man possessed. Ashleigh gasped as he ravaged her mouth sliding his tongue inside to stroke and beguile. She was powerless to resist when he released her arms so she could clutch at him, his mouth leaving hers and scorching a path down to her breasts.
“Bastian,” she panted, her fingers sliding through silken locks to pull him closer. A tortured cry emerged as his hot tongue swirled around an innocent peak, teasing and tugging before drawing it into his mouth to drink from the sweet flesh. Hot rippling pleasure swamped her body to pool into a throbbing ache between her thighs. “Oh, Bastian!” she gasped, her head falling back as he devoured the creamy throat. “What’s happening?”
“I--I don’t know,” he rasped. “Don’t stop me, Leigh,” he pleaded. “I want you so.”
Ashleigh didn’t want him to stop and drew his head back to hers so she could drink from his lips. “I want...you too,” she said, hardly aware of what she was asking. A strangled cry escaped her as he lifted her into his powerful arms. “Bastian,” she gasped between kisses. “What are we doing?”
He groaned and stifled her protests with kisses. “Hush,” Sebastian urged softly. “Let me make you mine, Leigh.”
Ashleigh stopped struggling and kissed his throat as he carried her upstairs to his bedroom. Were they really doing this? Or was it a dream? She didn’t know and didn’t care. All she wanted was Sebastian’s arms around her. Here. Now. Forever.
“I want to be yours,” she found herself whispering in his ear. He turned his head to kiss her deeply. It seemed to take forever to reach his bedroom, and he laid her gently on the bed. Ashleigh watched breathlessly as he shut and locked the door. He drew the curtains and stood before her, his eyes heating every inch of her.
“Take the robe off, Leigh,” he said hoarsely. “Let me see you.”
She shook her head. “I’m so skinny. You said so yourself.”
Sebastian flung off his T-shirt and fumbled with his jeans.
