it you really wanted from me?"
"You promised me dinner." Her voice was low, her breath soft in his ear.
"Is that all?"
"Mm hm."
More irritated by her refusal to answer than aroused, Sebastian pushed himself away from her. He slid his shoes off and padded to the bathroom in his socks to relieve himself.
"Did you want something to drink?" he called back to the bedroom.
"No," she answered cautiously.
"I think I do." He zipped his pants back up and washed his hands.
"Would you like for me to go out and get you something?" Elise smiled.
"No, I think I'll get it myself. Would you join me?"
Elise slipped off the bed and joined him at the door. Sebastian took her hand in his and led her to the kitchen. He poured himself a drink, sans the ice, and sipped. The Bourbon helped to revive him some. He always found it disappointing when he couldn't end the night the way he'd planned.
"Thank you for a lovely evening. Dinner was delicious."
Elise smiled and pressed herself against him, her hands wrapping around to caress his smooth back. Sebastian leaned in and gave her a chaste kiss.
"Have you seen my last cover?" he asked. Elise shook her head. He took her by the wrist and led her into the living room. Proofs lay on his coffee table from earlier that morning.
"These are great, Bastian," she said. "Are they the ones you did for Ell Em Ent ?"
He nodded.
"Oh, I've wanted to see these." She flipped through the photos making comments about each one. When she was finished, she stood and joined him next to one of the many bookcases in his flat.
"Thank you for a nice evening," he said to her softly. He gave her another small kiss before he walked her to the door.
"Good night, Sebastian," she smiled.
"Good night, sweetheart."
She didn't even know she'd been dismissed until it was too late.
CHAPTER FOUR
Katie
"Mr. Boa!" A young girl shrieked his name and ran into him with such force that it knocked Sebastian back a step. She wrapped her arms around his hips and hugged him tight.
"Hello, Felicity," Sebastian chuckled. He smoothed her dark hair and hugged the ten-year-old back. "How are you, sweetheart?"
"I'm fine." She turned smiling green eyes up to him. "You've been gone a long time this time."
"I've been busy with work." He patted her hair. "Where's Miss Rachel?"
The Home was a children's home Sebastian had founded and funded as a safe place for abused, underage models and children of models. He'd been running it for a year and a half now and currently had eight children whose lives he was essentially responsible for.
"She's in the office. We might have a new girl."
"Is that so?" Sebastian gently detached Felicity from his waist and knelt down so he was at eye level with her. "I need to speak with her about some business. When I'm done, I'll take everyone to get ice cream. How does that sound?"
Felicity grinned. "Really? Can I tell everyone?"
"Yes, ma'am. Go let everyone know."
Felicity ran off to find the other children, and Sebastian went to the office. It was situated at the end of the hall and off to the side. The building was old and boasted odd angles and a few secret passages the children hadn't found yet. Sebastian leaned against the doorjamb and knocked gently. Rachel Finnergan sat behind her desk, her fiery red hair piled on top of her head in an attractive twist. She flushed when she saw him. Sebastian smirked and pushed himself into the room. He took a seat across from her, his arms loose on the arms of the chair.
"How are you, Rachel?" he asked the Irish woman. Her lashes fluttered over green eyes.
"Oh, I'm fine, Mr. Boa. A wee bit busy, but well. How are you?"
"I'm well. Felicity tells me there's going to be a new girl?"
Rachel nodded. "Her name is Katie." She heaved a heavy sigh. "She's in hospital right now. Sebastian, the poor girl."
He frowned. "What happened?"
"Katie is a four year old pageant star. She was in a car accident a few months ago that cut and scarred her face. Her parents
