Page 45 of Kneeling for Them
“No, I’m glad you did.”
Tommy has disappeared before, but never for longer than a few days.How long has it been?I think back to my apartment break-in.That was…almost two weeks ago.Crap.And I haven’t even tried to call him in a few days.
Tugging my phone from my purse, I send him a quick text while Sebastian watches.There’s no response, but I’m not really expecting one, either.
It’s easier to not think about him, not worry about him.And that very thought feels like a huge betrayal.I blink back tears.
“What’s wrong?”Sebastian asks.“Talk to me.”
“Nothing, I just…it was kind of nice to have forgotten about Tommy for a little while, and that makes me the shittiest sister.”
“No,” he says, turning on the bench so he can see me better, “it makes you human.You carry so fucking much, Ella, it makes sense you’d feel relief at getting a break.So baby, if you find yourself with a reprieve, enjoy it while it lasts.”
His words spear my heart in the best way.They’re exactly what I needed to hear.
“I’m starting to really worry about Tommy now, though,” I say.“He’ll probably turn up tomorrow, wanting to eat all of my groceries and take over my couch, but right now I’m concerned, you know?”
“Yeah, I do.Hey, I know someone who loves tracking people down,” he says.“Want me to ask her to look around?”
“I can’t pay her.”I pluck at the torn knee of my jeans.“And I really am feeling bad that you and Kingston keep pampering me.”
“You’re our princess.”He grins.“Let us pamper you.But Lin won’t let me pay her, anyway.She’s my cousin, and she refuses to charge family.”
“But I’m not—”
He stops that argument in its tracks by pressing his mouth against mine.
Kingston
When I reach the practice room at the university, a quick peek through the window shows my best friend and our girl making out on the piano bench.Ella winds her fingers into Sebastian’s light brown hair and arches her body toward his.He tugs her jeans-clad legs to his lap, pulling her closer, and cups the nape of her neck.
He looks toward the window where I stand, either sensing me here or wondering just how alone they are and just how far they can take this.
I nod at him, already getting hard at what they might get up to while I watch.I look up and down the empty hallway, making sure nobody’s about to witness me standing here like a fucking old man creeper.It’s all clear.Saturday evening, all of the students and faculty are probably off relaxing.
Bash nods back at me and eases his hand up into Ella’s shirt.She says something to him, but I can’t make out her words, and he says something back.If I had to guess, she’s protesting the idea of messing around in such a public place, and he’s reminding her to trust him.
I so fucking hope she trusts him, because I wouldn’t mind a show right now.
Sure enough, he lifts her shirt over her head and she doesn’t stop him.
Her back arches as he sucks and bites her nipples through her bra.He unfastens her jeans and dips his hand inside.I know what her pussy feels like, what she tastes like, and my cock grows heavy and hard at the sight of this and knowing what she’ll feel like to him.
With Bash’s mouth on her breasts and his hand in her pants, it doesn’t take long for Ella to come.Her head goes back, eyes squeezed shut in ecstasy, and her mouth opens in a silent gasp.If I were watching this at home, my dick would be in my hand right now.Instead, I get the delicious torment of watching, but not being able to do a damn thing about the pulsing need in my cock.
Bash pulls his hand out of Ella’s jeans and says something to her.I grin as her eyes go round with surprise and she turns her head a few degrees to the right to see me watching her.She shrieks so loudly, I can hear it through the heavy door.
While she scrambles to put her shirt back on, Bash opens the door for me and I step inside.
“Hey, little girl,” I say.
“You could’ve been anyone.”Her cheeks are pink and she sounds mortified.
“I knew he was there the whole time,” Bash says, returning to the bench to sit next to her.“I wouldn’t have done anything that could put you in danger.I would never compromise you, princess.”
She sags forward against him.“I know, and I trusted you, but then I saw a big, scary man in the window.”
“Big, scary man, huh?”I ask.
