“Don’t do that, Chastity, unless you want me to throw you on the ground right here and now. It drives me crazy when you nibble on your lip like that, because I want to be the one doing the nibbling. Go pour us a couple glasses of wine, and I’ll put on some music. Where do you keep your CDs?”
Soundlessly she pointed in the direction of her CD rack before scurrying out of the living room to the kitchen, her pulse racing. This was supposed to be her seduction scene, so why did Sebastian have to be so calm when her knees felt like they’d give out any second?
Steadying her shaking hands, Chastity poured two glasses of wine and took a sip from one to soothe her nerves. Just as she stepped into the living room, the phone rang. Who in the world could that be calling at this time of night?
Sebastian looked slightly annoyed. “Ignore it.”
“I can’t. It might be an emergency.” She very well could have ignored it, but she needed to buy some time to build up her courage again.
“Hello?” she answered, a little more breathlessly than she intended.
“Chas, it’s Kevin.”
“Kevin, you’re calling at a bad time. I have company now.”
“I know. Dallas called and told us what’s going on and we saw Mr.
Stud Muffin pull up in your driveway. He’s hot.”
“Okay. If you know it’s a bad time, then why are you calling?” she whispered, taking a peek over her shoulder. Sebastian’s face was screwed up in a scowl. His displeasure was obvious.
“I called to give the appearance that he’s not the only one you might be seeing.”
“Lord have mercy. You’ve been hanging around Dallas way too much.
Look, I really have to go, but I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
“Okay. Are we still on for shopping this weekend? There’s a killer sale at Macy’s.”
“Yes, we’re still on. I’ll see you then.” Clicking the phone off, she replaced it on the receiver. If Sebastian was upset before, he looked 70
The Reinvention of Chastity
positively dangerous now; his normally pale eyes a murky, dark green and his lips a thin, angry line. “I’m sorry about that.”
She slid next to him on the couch, figuring that not mentioning the phone conversation would be the best way to handle things. Sebastian, on the other hand, wasn’t willing to let it go so easily. “Who…was…that?”
he asked as though struggling to get each word out.
She shrugged, trying to project an air of nonchalance she didn’t feel.
“Just a friend.”
“What kind of friend?” he demanded.
When Sebastian’s eyes bored into her, he reminded Chastity of Othello, right before he strangled Desdemona.
Thanks a lot, Kevin
. She could have dragged this out and make it seem like Kevin and her were more to each other than what they were, but judging by the look on his face, Chastity realized that wasn’t a good idea. There was only so far a man like Sebastian could be pushed.
“The platonic kind. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were jealous.”
“Maybe I am.”
His admission took Chastity by surprise. Not quite knowing how to respond, she changed topics. “So, what do you think about my nightgown. You didn’t say anything about it when you walked in.”
“I said you looked sexy. Isn’t that the same thing?” He laughed, visibly relaxing, which in turn, relaxed her.
I can do this,
she silently chanted. “Not quite the same thing, but I guess I’ll let you slide this time.”
Sebastian scooted closer. Her body ignited when his hip touched hers. Chastity’s breath caught in her throat. God, he was gorgeous. It just didn’t seem fair for one man to be so damn hot.
He ran a finger down her chest to where her nightgown dipped. “I like what you’re wearing very much, but I bet I’ll enjoy it even more when I’m taking it off. Of course, you know, I’m the only one you’re allowed to wear this for now.”
Chastity trembled. Was it her or did the temperature in her house just go up? “I’ll keep that in mind,” she said unsteadily.

“You’d better,” he growled. “You have no idea what I went through before I got here.”
She raised an eyebrow. “And what was it that you went through that was so grueling.”
“Well, I nearly got a ticket racing over here, but the poor officer took pity on me when I told her that I had to go see a friend in need.”
Chastity pursed her lips. “She? You charmed your way out of a ticket, you mean? What a hardship.”
“And, I had to fend off a transvestite prostitute when I stopped to purchase condoms on the way here.”
“You’re making that up.”
“I swear, I’m telling you the truth. From my mouth to God’s ears.”
This made her laugh. “That’s what you get for being so darn irresistible. I bet everything comes easy to you. You always do what you like, don’t you?”
“If I had done what I really wanted to when I walked in here, you would have thought I was an animal.”
She saw her opportunity to flip the script on him and took it. Leaning over, Chastity brushed his lips with hers. “It’s okay. I like animals.” The tips of her breasts grazed his arm. She pressed another kiss against his jaw, her hand slowly inching up his thigh.
Sebastian suddenly pulled back. “We’re really going to do this, right?
No turning back this time?”
“Of course. Isn’t this what you wanted?”
“More than you know, but…”
“But what?”
“You’re a totally different person. I never know what to expect. With the old Chastity, I could read you like a book, but now you go hot and the next minute cold. I don’t want to get all worked up again, just to be left high and dry.”
“I plan to see this through. I want you as much as you want me.”
“What happened to you, anyway?”
Was he serious? Sebastian was the one who’d made her realize what a hopeless mouse she’d been. He almost sounded like he missed the 72

mouse. Well that was just too damn bad. The reminder of her former self gave Chastity the strength to make her next move. “I finally opened my eyes…thanks to you.” She reached over and cupped his face in her hands. “I don’t know about you, but I want to fuck.” And with that she crushed his lips beneath hers.

Chastity’s sweet mouth covered his in an aggressive, hungry kiss.
Sebastian’s initial reaction was to push her away and find out what she’d meant by that last comment, but her soft lips roaming so urgently against his shattered all intentions to smithereens.
He wrapped his arms around her warm, voluptuous body. When Chastity had opened the door, he’d nearly dropped the bottle of wine in his hand, almost losing the control he’s fought so hard to maintain when he saw Chastity in her pitiful excuse for a nightgown.
He could make out the blackberry colored nipples that pressed against the flimsy material of her bodice and his mouth went dry. She wasn’t wearing underwear either; the dark patch of hair that rested enticingly between her thick thighs tempted him to his limits. Absolutely gorgeous.
Sebastian congratulated himself when he didn’t toss her on the ground and screw her senseless. He wasn’t completely sure if he believed this Kevin person was the platonic friend she claimed. He sensed there was something deeper there. He fully intended to find out exactly what that was, but right now, nothing mattered beyond how wonderful her lips felt and how good she smelled.
Chastity’s tongue pushed forward, tracing the outline of his mouth.
Sebastian’s lips parted under her gentle assault. Just as he remembered, she tasted tangy and sweet at once. He couldn’t recall the last time a woman had made him feel this urgent need. His cock was harder than it had ever been before.
Tightening his arms around her abundant body, Sebastian wanted to be as close to her as possible. Her tongue stroked his, circling and sucking it into her mouth. He groaned at the delicious stimulation.

Normally he was the one in charge when sex was involved, but Chastity was sending him a clear message. She was piloting this plane.
His internal heat index rose, beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead. She kissed like a highly trained courtesan and again, Sebastian wondered where she’d learned such a skill. Pulling apart from her a bit, he grazed her jawline with his mouth.
“You’re beautiful,” he whispered against her skin. And he meant it.
His voluptuous, beautiful paralegal made his dick ache in ways he didn’t think possible. He trailed kisses down the side of her neck.
“Oh, Sebastian, that feels wonderful.” She moaned.
“I can make you feel even better, baby.” She shivered under his butterfly caresses. Fingers dug through his hair and pulled his head against her body.
Inhaling the sweet scent of her perfume, he rubbed his face on the tops of her breasts. Unable to wait any longer, he slid the straps of the gown from her smooth brown shoulders. The negligee fell into a pool at her waist to reveal a pair of large chocolate breasts, capped with huge areolas and the darkest, most succulent nipples he’d ever laid eyes on.
Sebastian couldn’t wait to taste them. Though they drooped slightly from the sheer weight, they were firm and well shaped. “They’re beautiful,” he murmured, cupping them in his palms. He rubbed his thumbs over the pouty peaks. Chastity trembled, a soft sigh tumbling from her lips. It pleased him to see how turned on she was.
Sebastian lifted the large mounds to his descending mouth. He laved one pert tip, licking and swirling it, before capturing it between his teeth.
“Sebastian,” Chastity groaned, tightening the grip she had in his hair.
When he flicked the hardened point with his tongue again, she writhed against him, squirming as though she couldn’t keep still. He lifted his head to stare into passion-glazed eyes.
“Do you like this, Chastity? Do you like the feel of my mouth on you?”
“You know I do.”
“How would I know unless you tell me?” he asked, tracing her aureoles with shaking fingers. “I want you to tell me how much you like this. Tell me how much you want me.” Bending his head, he kissed the valley of her breasts.

The Reinvention of Chastity
Chastity’s sharp intake of breath told him just how much she did in fact want him, and though actions should have been enough, he needed the validation of her words. Weeks ago, Sebastian knew that he only had to mention something and she’d practically fall over herself to do his bidding. Now, he could never be sure of what she would say.
It wasn’t that he wanted her to hang on his every word again, but he sort of missed the sweet woman with her ready compliments. This new Chastity sent shockwaves of ecstasy through his veins, but parts of him couldn’t help wondering what happened. She made him feel so unsure, a feat no woman had ever accomplished.
When she didn’t immediately answer, he pinched each nipple between his fingers, tweaking them until she cried out. “Tell me that you want me. I want to hear you say it.”
“I want you.”
“Say my name.”
“Sebastian,” she whispered obediently.
“Say, I want you, Sebastian. Tell me how much you want me,” he commanded, applying more pressure to her nipples.
She gasped. “I want you, Sebastian. I want you so bad it hurts. I ache for you.”
“Tell me what you want me to do about it.”
Desire blazed within the depths of her eyes. “I want you to fuck me,”
Chastity answered breathlessly.
Sebastian smiled, smugness flowing through him. He knew he had Chastity where he wanted her and now he was the one in control. “Uh-uh. You don’t get off so easily, baby.” He licked the curve of her shoulder.
“I want you to tell me in detail what you want me to do to you.”
“Why? I thought this was what you wanted too.” Her voice sounded tremulous and unsure. Good. Now she was the one in a tailspin.
“Because, sometimes a guy needs to hear these things.”
“Okay, but only if you take your shirt off too.”
When he yanked his top off, she immediately placed her hands against his bare chest. “Nice,” she whispered. He closed his eyes briefly, savoring her touch. Sebastian looked down at her hands against his 75

body; the contrast of her dark, delicately shaped fingers splayed against his much lighter skin was an erotic sight to behold. He didn’t realize something so simple could turn him on like this. Capturing her hands in his, he shook his head.
“Oh, no you don’t. I hope you didn’t think I’d let you off the hook after what happened this afternoon. So now, as your punishment, I want you to tell me what you want from me and don’t leave out a single detail.”
“Isn’t it enough that I said how much I want you?”
Sebastian raised the hem of her nightgown, sliding it up the length of her thighs. He pried her legs apart and brushed his knuckles against the tight curls nestled over her pussy. Chastity released a stilted breath.
“Isn’t it?” she asked again.
“Not by a long shot, babe.”
He parted her damp slit and slipped his middle finger into her channel. She was so fucking wet. And tight. She’d fit like a glove around his cock. Chastity bucked her hips against his hand. “Sebastian, please.”
“Oh, I intend to, but first you’re going to tell me what I want to hear.”
“I want you inside of me.”
“Sebastian.”
“Huh?”
“Say my name when you speak to me. I don’t want you to confuse me with your friend Kevin.”
“But he’s—”
“Spare me. Just tell me what I need to hear,” he demanded, sliding another finger inside her, rubbing his thumb against her blood-engorged clit.
Her body shook with apparent pleasure. “I want you to put your cock inside of me…Sebastian. I want your hands on my breasts, my pussy and ass—everywhere. I want your mouth against my skin. Now stop torturing me and give me what we both want. I can’t take this anymore.”
Her voice was no more than a harsh whisper.
Sebastian removed his now dew soaked fingers, her scent clinging to them. Then he licked them, watching her reaction. “Mmm, delicious. You 76
