Page 63 of Reckless Temptation

NICK

Istayed in the storage prep room after Sabrina ran out. The erection tenting under my pants wouldn’t do me any favors. If someone saw me chase after Sabrina, they’d connect the dots and know she was the cause of this raging boner away from the party.

Sighing heavily, I leaned against the edge of the prep table and stared down at the floor.

I could still taste her on my tongue.

I could still hear the sexy moan she made when I touched her.

And I could still see in my mind’s eye how close she’d come to crying. Not because Tiffany made her fall and cut her hand, but because she was so overcome with desperation to both hate me and want me.

Even though the thoughts of her when she came would stay with me for a long time, my erection faded the more I focused on what she’d said. Besides her confession of wanting me so badly, she’d clued in to the fact that I had likely sought her out in the first place because of Tiffany. And that was the truth. I had.

But I couldn’t live with myself if I worked on trying to ruin Sabrina anymore. I didn’t want to. The only way I wanted to ruin her was sexually. Intimately. In bed. I wanted to make her break for me in the sweetest, hottest, sexiest way possible. I wanted to destroy her and ravish her all at once.

Fuck.

I rubbed my hand over my face.

What is she doing to me?

I’d never lost it for a woman before. No girl hadevergotten under my skin like this.

After a long while of zoning out and waiting for my erection to be tamed, I left the small room to go back out and check on Sabrina. I couldn’t leave. Not yet. I wouldn’t be so stupid as to go after her again tonight, not when we’d come so close to being caught together. But my stepsister was still out there, and she’d still bother her. Maybe this time, I’d distract her from being near Sabrina.

I reentered the big, glass-domed venue space where the party was still going on. Off to one side, I spotted Sabrina with Melody and Joann. It seemed like her mother was urging her to leave. The boss was nodding her head as well, encouraging Sabrina to go.

Walking past them, I eavesdropped without getting so close that she’d see me.

“Sabrina, you are the hardest worker I know,” Joann said. “But you’re hurt.”

“It’s not my dominant hand,” Sabrina protested.

“No, and that’s even worse,” Melody said. “We carry trays with our non-dominant hands. Please, honey, just head home and make sure that cut stays clean and bandaged, all right?”

Good.I wanted her to leave. Not only to rest and take it easy with her hand but also so she would be spared from Tiffany’s bullying tactics.

I sighed in relief when Sabrina left moments later. Maybe she hated to be idle. Or perhaps she was glad to not have to be here near Tiffany any longer. Either way, it was for the best that she sat out the rest of the party.

Once she was gone, I took a seat at a table off to the rear of the room. I didn’t want to stay, but I wasn’t sure where else to go or what else to do now. I was unsettled and confused about things developing before I ate her out in that small room. Now, after the fact, I was more on edge and lost.

“Well, well, well.”

Tiffany approached me, smiling with an eerily cool calm.

I gritted my teeth, staring ahead and not acknowledging her as she took the seat next to me.

“I didn’t think you had it in you,” she remarked before sighing airily, as if we were two buddies having random small talk.

“I followed you after you ran after her. You know, after she tripped like a klutz holding that tray of wine.”

You heartless bitch.She sounded proud that she’d made Sabrina fall. And she wouldn’t give a shit that she’d been hurt in the process.

She didn’t speak for a moment, leaving me hanging and waiting in suspense. If she followed me all the way through the kitchen and near that room where I’d locked myself in with Sabrina…

Oh, fuck.

“She wasn’t exactly quiet in there.” Tiffany flicked her blonde hair over her shoulder and huffed. “I have to hand it to you, sacrificing your time to actually mess around with her. I mean, it’s got to be so hard not to be repulsed by someone like her, yet you came through.”
