"No, I don't. You guys were loud and it turned me on." Sebastian shrugs his shoulders.
"Hmm." Grant is still standing naked in Mallory's room.
"Are you staying the night?" Sebastian wants to know.
Grant glances at Mallory once more. "Yes, I believe I will."
Sebastian rolled his eyes.What is it about daddies?"Okay, be quiet if you wake her in the middle of the night. Some of us like to sleep."
Grant only grunts as Sebastian leaves the room.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Grant takes a seat on the side of the bed and watches Mallory sleep. She is very beautiful and he understands why Sebastian is so taken by her.
Shaking his head, Grant stands and walks to the windows looking out at the view of Paris. He and Sebastian have a routine about things. One of them will vet a submissive and then they will introduce the other.
Sebastian joined them tonight, he should have never done that. That wasn't how tonight was supposed to play out, but he is starting to understand. Sebastian is falling for Mallory.
Glancing back at Mallory, Grant studies her again. Eventually he and Sebastian will have to talk about this. Eventually decisions will have to be made. If Sebastian plans on making this permanent, he may want Grant to walk away.
But for now he is going to enjoy every moment he has with them. Turning off the lights, Grant crawls into bed beside Mallory. Pulling her into his arms, he drifts off to sleep.
The soft morninglight filters through the curtains, casting a gentle glow into the room as Mallory stirs from her sleep. Her eyelids flutter open, and for a moment, she is disoriented, her senses slowly coming into focus.
As her vision clears, Mallory's heart skips a beat when she realizes she isn't alone in her bed. There, beside her, with the sheets pulled up to his waist, lies Grant Stevens, his features peaceful in slumber.
A surprised gasp escapes her lips as she sits up, her mind racing to make sense of the situation. She had not expected Grant to stay the night. Memories of the previous evening's connection and attraction flood her thoughts.
The room holds the faint scent of their shared moments, and the atmosphere is charged with the lingering electricity of desire. Mallory's heart pounds in her chest as she considers what this unexpected development might mean.
Careful not to wake him, she watches Grant sleep, his handsome face relaxed in repose.
Grant stirs from his slumber, his hazel eyes gradually opening to the sight of Mallory sitting beside him. He offers her a warm, sleepy smile.
"Good morning," he greets, his voice husky with sleep.
Mallory returns the smile, a mix of surprise and curiosity in her eyes. "Good morning," she replies, her voice soft, as if they are sharing a secret.
Grant shifts slightly, propping himself up on one elbow, his gaze locked onto hers. "I hope you don't mind my staying the night," he says, his tone sincere.
Mallory's heart flutters as she meets his gaze, her fingers tracing an invisible pattern on the sheets. "I didn't expect it," she admits, "but I'm not complaining."
Grant reaches out, his hand brushing a strand of hair from Mallory's face. "Last night was just the beginning," he murmurs, his gaze filled with an unspoken promise. "There's so much more to discover, if you're willing. And as long as Sebastian allows it."
Mallory's eyes meet his, a mixture of desire and curiosity in her gaze. "I am," she replies, her voice laced with anticipation. "I want to see where this journey takes us. Do you really think Sebastian will care? He is the one who wanted this to begin with."
"We should get up and join him for breakfast." Grant kisses her lightly on the lips before rolling out of bed.
She watches as he stretches in all of his naked glory. His body is breathtaking. She watches him retrieve his clothing from the night before and get dressed.
"I’ll be out in a few moments," Mallory informs him.
He only nods his head before leaving the bedroom.
When Mallory emergesfrom the bedroom she finds Sebastian alone. He is pacing the living room on the phone. She makes a quick glance around and finds the rest of the suite empty.
Walking to the table, she grabs a croissant and pours a glass of orange juice. She is taking the last bite when Sebastian hangs up the phone.
