Narrowed eyes, appraise her, as she suddenly freezes in her spot near the bay trees. “Yes, you’re a clever one aren’t you? Your instincts are spot on.”

He ducks a little in the car, adrenalin pumping, as the object of his affection’s gaze lingers over his car, moves to the next vehicle and then drifts back to him again. This was edge of the seat stuff. Yeah! He can feel the excitement building, his arousal increased at her dismay. She really did look classy. Much better than last time he’d seen her out - less skin on show for that Silver prick to maul.

“Wakey wakey, over here.” His hand lifted in a wave before he thought better of it and he drops it to his thigh. “Second thoughts, nah - not such a good idea, that would spoil all the fun.” She obviously can’t see him but she can feel him, sense him around her and that makes his lady-pleaser twitch in answer.
 

“No, not there, here I am - maybe not so bright eh?”

He’d sent her the rose yesterday, with strict instructions to FWC to ensure it arrived with the Elysium delivery; that way she was guaranteed to receive it. That way he was guaranteed to hear her in her room, whilst she stayed over - even if it meant sleeping in his fucking car. She had no idea what he did for her, how much he’d risked for her. She was becoming rather ungrateful and he wasn’t sure if it was time for a bit of punishing? Unfortunately the reception in this mausoleum was shite and all he’d heard from last night was the odd muffled voice and crackle, so that had been a waste of his precious time and money. She was worth it though. Yeah, he’d invested too much in her to date - he wasn’t ready to move on until he’d had his fill and until she was thoroughly terrified of him.
 

If he was honest with himself, he knew he was punching above his own weight with Lucia Myers and that only made his thirst for her far greater - he wanted this one for keeps. At least the lad was here this weekend, so that meant that Silver would have to leave her alone and wank himself off.

“Welcome to my world.”

Stupid bitch still hasn’t seen me - well, she’s had enough chances. Whatever happens now she deserves, he mumbles as he watches her retreating curvaceous form slip through the black double doors.
 

“See you again soon, sweet Lucia.”

*****

The launch is a complete success. James Marcell welcomes his exclusive mix of guests into the fold of The Ashton with the canapes and cocktails, both of which are great hit. I take a sip of my drink, aptly named by Colin, Elysium Cocktail and work my way around the room. There was plenty of potential business here to scoop and now was the one time to take advantage- yet all I want to do is
 
walk over to Sebastian, who appears to be in deep conversation with a couple of guests, whisper
‘fuck me’
in his ear and head off to bed. Is that so bad?

I’m not sure I can take another minute without touching him - my cervix aches is so tight, my muscles spasming around the weighted balls. It was becoming harder and harder to keep them securely inside of me, as I feel myself grow more turned on.

As if he’s telepathically tuned into my rather erotic thoughts, Seb’s eyes lift and dart to mine, dark chocolate deepening to black, and my nipples harden under the weight of my top. God, he is a magnificent specimen. In a room full of over a hundred people, he oozes sex, charm, power. The women are crowding around him, desperate for a moment of his precious time and I can’t fault their attempts but it doesn’t stop the streak of jealousy that runs through me as I see a well-dressed woman, run her hand up his arm and lean in to say something in his ear.
Back off bitch.

You need to get your head in the game - for the next few hours it’s about work.
 

“You Ok, babe you look…pissed?” I smile tightly back at my sister’s lovely face, my eyes never leaving Sebastian.
 

“Mmm hmm. All good.”
 

She follows my direction and grins annoyingly. “Ah, now I get it. Rearing its ugly head? He does look super dishy tonight though.”

I narrow my eyes at her. “You’re not helping.”

“Sorry, Lu, just nice to see you caring enough about his whereabouts again. A week ago, you didn’t give a damn.”

“How are you - tired?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll change the subject. I’m OK sis, but I’m not sure I’ll last long tonight after all that pampering and fresh air today. This weekend’s been so great though. Just what we all needed. Jess sends her apologies though, she couldn’t get out of a work thing tonight unfortunately.”

I smile the second she mentions her best-friend Jess - she was completely mental, in a good way, and fab at a party so we’d miss her. “I know she text me bless her - its a shame as she’s such a laugh but I understand and I’m so glad you came. I can’t believe G had the pregnancy massage as well?”

“You know Gino, he wants to be as involved with this baby’s passage, as much as he can - amazing how that won’t involve the actual passage isn’t it - suddenly they’re not so keen to be so in sync with the female then - massage, yes, pushing a melon out of your arsehole, maybe not.”

I nearly choke on my drink and she laughs with me “Sorry, hun, too much information.”

“No, been there - look you don’t know you’re born with Gino. Niall wasn’t even there for my birth, well not when it mattered.”

“I know, babe. Anyway, when are we going to see these rooms you’ve been working your butt off on? I wanted to take a peak yesterday but Colin wouldn’t let me.”

“I think they are all open now, ever since the toasts were finished. Why don’t we wander up and I’ll talk you through them.”

“Fab. I’m really proud of you you know sis - Mum and Dad would be too?”

“Thanks, Suze - I know they are, they’ve apparently booked to stay the night in one of the rooms next month, how great is that? Just give me a sec and let me grab Abby and we’ll all go up together.”

*****

“You look like an Angel.” He murmurs, his sexy lips curling up at the corner. “Absolutely glowing. Must be all this fresh air and afternoon napping.”

“Thank you, Mr. Silver.”

He takes a step backwards and fully appraises me, inhaling deeply. “Killer outfit. Pearls - you look so good in pearls.”

I smile, glad he has noticed. “I wore them for you.”

“Every time you wear them you’ll think of me.” Like his note.

“I will. I do.” I glance across to where Abby is chatting to a guest and gaining her attention, nod in the direction of the door. She holds two fingers up behind her back in answer.

“Thank you, Seb - you really don’t have to keep buying me things but I adore the necklace.”

“I want to spoil you, baby - it makes me happy to shower you with gifts. I see you are wearing your bracelet.”

“I love it. I promise I won’t discard it again. It was a silly thing to do. Stupid.”

“Understandable under the circumstances, but I’m glad you want to wear it again.”

“It’s staying put.”

“Good. Anything else staying put?” he raises his brows on a smirk.

Oh God. The sound of his voice, all husky and vibrating is making me twitch and my pelvic floor tighten around the silver balls, sending waves of pleasure up inside me. “Lu? You Ok - you look a little flushed.”

Through gritted teeth I sigh. “I’m fine, as well you know, you sex God.”

“I can’t wait to be buried balls deep inside you, next to those little silver balls baby.”

Oh Jeez.
“Seb, seriously.”

“Are you in a hurry, Lu? I feel like I haven’t had a minute with you since you kicked me out your bedroom earlier.” He pouts playfully and I grin despite my earlier frustration with him. It wasn’t his fault he was so utterly divine. “I’m sorry, I’m just going to showcase the rooms to Suzie and Abby, then stay up there for a while in case any potential clients want to brainstorm with me.”

“Sounds like a plan. I’ve already handed out several of your business cards, oh and two of them were exceedingly keen.”

I’m touched by his support but he could sell ice to the Eskimos, especially if those Eskimos were of the fairer sex. “I appreciate it.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll make it up to me tonight. Besides, the building works will be completed by Silver Con, so it’s in my best interests too as we’ll be working side by side, on top of things, keeping abreast of …”

“Seb….”

“Am I making you hot, baby?” He takes my hand in his and holding it there, encapsulated, he locks eyes with me and with one finger trails a path from the inside of my elbow to my wrist, where my pulse now beats erratically.
 

“Very. You don’t play fair. I have to work.” I pull it away like I’ve been burned. He has such an effect on my body, it worries the hell out of me.
 

“You see - that just makes me want you more.”

“Please don’t…”
 

God I’m weak, where he is concerned, the heavy ache within me a constant reminder that I need to be filled by him. It’s taking everything I have in me to not walk into his lean hard body, unzip his pants and suck his cock right there, in front of all these people, whilst he finger fucks me, like his message promised, embedding the balls against my g-spot.

I feel like I’m on fire, and he’s still looking all casual and charismatic in his suit.

“Don’t what, baby?”

“Don’t get me all hot and bothered when there’s naff all I can do about it for the next few hours.” I mutter under my breath as an older lady nears our position.

“I don’t know what you mean Lu.”

“You drive me to distraction, you know that?”

“It works both ways, sexy lady.”

“Well, two can play at that game…”

“Oh really? You’ve seen my gifts - what do
you
have in your little box of tricks?”

“My little box is open, uncovered, on show…”


Wtf,
Lu? Are you not wearing underwear?”

“A bra, yes. Panties, oopsies - must have forgotten those when I was fingering myself in the bathroom. Those silver balls are awfully big, I had to push really hard and ever so deep.” I feel a surge of power as his chocolate irises vanishes, as the pupils bleed out, dilating fully and his jaw clenches. “See you upstairs, lover.” I wave over my shoulder, hearing him chuckle lightly at my departure.

*****

I give Abby & Suzie the guided tour of Room 40, 41, 53 and 55 before saving the Honeymoon Suite for last. When we enter, it already has several occupants, all taking in the fabrics, decor and new design. Butterflies dance in my stomach - God, I hope they like it.

Suzie interjects immediately. “Of course everyone will, what’s not to love. It’s out of this world!”

Crap! Did I say that aloud?

“I would die for a bedroom like this, Lu - if I ever get out of that hole I live in you are decorating my new place. Beg beg!” Abby squeezes my arm.
 

“You need to do the baby’s room first, Sis - I’ve loads of ideas so when you’re ready, but does next weekend work for you?”

“Not next weekend - she’ll be jetting off to Dubai then.”
 

“Ooh, I forgot about that, Abs. You lucky thing, Lu - I wish G & I could make the hotel launch, it sounds so luxurious.”

“I wish you could come too but we’ll send you loads of selfie’s and update Facebook regularly and ba-ba comes first.” I pat her rounded belly excitedly. “When I get back, we’ll sit down and sort through some ideas and I’ll get it all done for you in time for the birth, I promise.”

“I know you will - Auntie Lulu is a miracle worker isn’t she?”

Abby & I raise our brows at one another and smile— it’s started already - I remembered it well.

“Don’t take the piss - talking to my belly soothes me and the baby.”

“Lu you Ok, you seem to raising your eyebrows for longer than normal? Please don’t tell me you’ve gone and got Botox?” Abs smiles in my direction.

“I’m fine and if and when I want Botox I’ll get it! Actually, I’m just toning up my pelvic floor.”

The chorus of oh’s is enough to end that conversation - every woman understood the eyebrow raise and it was a bloody good job, as keeping these pleasure balls in was beginning to become a serious challenge.

“Right guys, bedroom, open fire, as you can see.”
 

“Ooh, I do like a bit of sex before the fire - good thinking, Lu.” Abby encourages me.

“Nathan did all this Abs, window seats, he made the bed, all the joinery is his practically - he’s a master.”

“I know - a master in the bedroom.” She winks at us both.

“Through here is the bathroom.”I hear their ooh’s and ahh’s as we enter and I’m pleased as it is the reaction I was going for. “Self explanatory really, but ultra glamorous.”

“Lulu, this is amazing!”

I locate a familiar face entering the bedroom and kiss both girls. “I’m going to go smooze - you ok now?”

“Perfect. Seriously, Lu, fabulous work.” Abby imitates Suzie’s words and I grin.
 

“You just keep saying that, really loudly to all and sundry and I’ll pay you later.” On a wink I head in to catch my next client, Carolyn Walters.

*****

“Lucia - oh I’m so glad you are here. I saw James Marcell downstairs but it’s you I wanted to see.” Her arm sweeps the lounge part of the suite, “This is a fine job you’ve completed here. No wonder James wants to keep you all to himself!”
