Resting his lips against her temple, Sebastian spoke so she was the only one who would hear him.
“I look at you,mia cara, and I ache for you. You are too beautiful by far for my peace of mind.”
As he pulled her closer still, she felt the evidence of his desire for her press up against her thigh. Sebastian’s gaze heated as he watched her run the tip of her tongue over her plump bottom lip. Seeing him watch her, she felt it all the way to her very core. Felt herself go slick with desire. His words evoked that sweet ache deep inside that only he could soothe.
They circled the floor, swaying to the rhythm of music. Sebastian skilfully led, and it felt as if they’d been doing this for years instead of for the very first time. If this is what it would feel like every time they danced, she would want to do it every day. She felt herself come alive in his arms in a way she hadn’t for anyone else before.
As Sebastian continued to sway her to the soulful music, the sexual tension continued to grow. The dance turned into a tortuous game of seduction. Her nipples beaded tightly, and the rubbing of her dress against them made them all the more sensitive.
“Come up to my suite with me, Serena. I have to have you right now.”
Again, Serena simply nodded her assent. She was so ready it was possible she might combust right on the dance floor before too much longer. Guiding her slowly around the floor, keeping an eye on the other occupants of the room, Sebastian worked his way over to side of the ballroom closest to the door leading to the lobby. Surreptitiously looking around one last time to ensure nobody was paying particular attention, he placed his hand to the small of her back. He guided her from the room over to the elevators in the lobby. Stepping into the car, he slid his key into the slot for the penthouse.
Gently wrapping his hand around Serena’s neck, he leaned in and bit down on her bottom lip. As she gasped softly, he ran his tongue over it, soothing the slight sting of his bite.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all evening. Watching you lick or bite on this lip has slowly been driving me out of my mind.”
Looking up at him, she did it again, slowly running the tip of her tongue over her full lower lip. She could swear she heard him growl. With a low moan in the back of his throat, Sebastian gave a quick yank, pulling her flush against his body, going in for a kiss that scorched right through her. Going up on tiptoe, Serena returned his kiss with equal fervour.
Passion spiralled, and by the time the elevator dinged, it took a moment or two to realise they’d arrived. Taking her hand in his, Sebastian towed her in his wake as he quickly made his way to the front door of his suite. Pausing only long enough to close the door behind him, he continued on to the bedroom, Serena’s hand still tightly clasped in his.
“Slow down a second, Sebastian.”
“Cara, I’ve waited all evening for you. I’m not waiting a second longer.”
Impatiently, he yanked at his tie. No sooner had it come off than he started in on the buttons on his shirt. Serena couldn't help but take a moment to admire his beautiful body. Looking up, Sebastian noticed that Serena was staring. Giving her a cocky grin, he said, “Those clothes aren't going to come off by themselves, you know.”
Shaking her head and laughing, Serena began to undress.
“So impatient.”
“You have no idea,” he replied.
Before Serena realised what was happening, she found herself flying through the air and landing on the bed behind her. She couldn’t hold back the laughter that escaped again. Sebastian's playful mood was infectious.

Sebastian
The sightof Serena in all her finery for the evening was driving him slowly out of his mind. Her dress may have been full-length and covered all the essentials, but it hinted at all it hid. It moulded itself to her curvy body, showcasing all her womanly curves. Beautiful as it was though, it had to come off before he lost all control and ripped it.
He was tearing at his own clothes as if they’d caught fire.Who the hell had thought it was such a good idea to put so many buttons on a damn shirt anyway?He almost growled his frustration. Once he had that off, he attacked his pants. When he was finally, blessedly naked, he looked up to find Serena’s eyes on him.
“Those clothes aren't going to come off by themselves, you know.”
Shaking her head and laughing, Serena began to undress.
“So impatient.”
“You have no idea,” he replied.
He watched her like a hawk as she pushed the straps of her dress over her shoulders. With nothing to hold it up, it fell to the ground, pooling at her feet. She stood in a scrap of lace masquerading as a thong and heels. Desire heated his gaze just as it sizzled through his blood. He reached for her.
Lifting her off her feet, he threw her onto the bed. As she landed with a bounce, she laughed out loud. Grinning back at her, he followed her down onto the luxurious mattress.
Pulling her into his embrace, Sebastian ran the tip of his tongue over Serena’s bottom lip, a silent entreaty to open for him. She welcomed him in. Deepening the kiss as passion turned intense, she moaned softly. Breaking off the kiss, he leaned down and gently nipped her in the neck. Laving the bite to soothe the sting, he started to work his way down towards her breasts.
She arched into him, seeking his touch. Obliging her, he ran his hands over her breasts, plumping the mounds together, licking first one then the other nipple. Her nipples were like hard little pebbles, begging for his touch. He leaned over her and enclosed one in the warm cavern of his mouth, tugging on it with his teeth.
