to explain it to me?”
Sebastian pulled her into his arms. “Enough talk of titles, balls, and betrothals. I just want to enjoy some quiet time with my wife. What do you say we turn in early?”
“I can’t sleep thinking about all these possibilities. Who knew moving here would be so exciting? Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t be writing for the social pages instead of world news.”
Sebastian stood from the couch. “I didn’t say anything about sleeping,” he said in a deep, sexy voice.
“In that case, let’s go,” Tess agreed, pulling him by the hand toward their bedroom.
Once they were inside their bedroom, Sebastian locked the door and then leaned against it, watching his wife as she slowly undressed, making a show of it for him. Although she was no-nonsense Hamilton at work, she’d definitely learned to let loose in the bedroom.
Tess sauntered toward her husband and pinned him up against the door, leaning in and covering his mouth with hers. He swore he would never tire of her passionate kisses as long as he lived. He slipped off his navy suit coat as Tess untied his silk striped tie. Next she began to unbutton his shirt while he removed his belt and unzipped his trousers.
Tess began to kiss the hard plane of his chest and then licked her way down to his erect cock. Taking it in her hand, she stroked up and down, flicking her tongue over the shiny head. Sebastian leaned against the door and splayed his hands along the wall. “Just like that, darling,” he hissed out between shallow breaths. After a few more strokes, she stood up and kissed him again.
Sebastian let his hands roam down the soft smooth skin of her back and then he cupped her buttocks. Turning her around, he pushed her against the door and lifted her off the ground. Tess' legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as he slipped inside her. Careful not to hit her head against the door, he thrust in and out at a languid pace.
“Do you want to finish this here or on the bed?” Tess asked in between kisses. Sebastian backed away from the door and carried Tess to their bed. He lay back, leaving her on top of him. She smiled as her hand ran over his shoulders and down his biceps. “I’ll never get tired of making love with you,” Tess whispered as she rocked back and forth astride his body.
“Good, because you’re mine—forever,” he said, taking hold of her hips and pushing deeper inside her. The quick movement made Tess climax and she collapsed onto Sebastian’s chest, her long brown hair tickling his neck. He smoothed her hair over with his right hand while his left hand traced the curve of her spine.
Tess lifted her head and looked at her husband. “I’m yours, but we’re not finished yet,” she purred as she rolled off his chest and took his erection in her hand.
Sebastian closed his eyes and concentrated on his wife’s touch. Her hands were soft and warm, her mouth was heaven. He took his hand and guided her head closer to his body—needing to feel her mouth surrounding every inch of him. Sebastian was so close to the edge, one more stroke and he came undone. “Fuck,” he moaned as he tangled his fingers in Tess' hair. She crept up his body, giving him a sweet kiss on the neck before laying her head on his shoulder.
Chapter 6 - It’s Only Natural
The events of the past week had finally tired Mattie out, and Sebastian was given a few blessed hours of silence while she napped. He couldn’t stop thinking about his impromptu meeting with Maxwell the day before. It could have been completely harmless, a situation of circumstance, but something nagged at Sebastian’s consciousness, telling him there was more than met the eye.
He picked up the receiver and phoned Penny.
“Hello,” she said on the other end of the line.
“Hello, Penny.”
“I wondered how long it would take for you to ring me.”
“What’s going on with you and Maxwell?”
“I don’t know that it’s any of your business,” she stated,
