CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
SEBASTIAN.
I stood in the kitchen, having downed my third cup of black coffee, only because I felt it was too early for alcohol.
The sound of the door slamming closed reached my ears, and I knew she was gone.It hadn't failed to reach my realization that from the first moment she had stepped out, in those pair of jeans and a loosed blouse, the first thing she had done was to reach for her cellphone, the expression on her face had been downright nervous, if not a little pale.
She had been perhaps checking for a message? I had deleted the last message that had came last night, it served to do more harm than good, I knew I had been right when I saw that relived look passed across her features.
Without a word, she had begun to leave through the door, a friend she had said she was going to meet.
My reaction had be
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER TWENTY FIVE.MELISSA.I watched as Rick ran through the details, it reminded me so much of old times, the person I was before, even though I didn't want to remember, the memories of what my life used to be kept coming.My hands were slightly trembling, I dug my nails into my leather bag waiting for him to be done with whatever it was, all I wanted at this moment was to return home.Home?When did I start to regard his place as home, what we have now was only going to be temporary until I sort out pieces of my life, that had been what I wanted, so why then did my life now seemed to be a whole lot complicated and messed up than ever?A home was something I never had, and never dreamt of having, I think after dad's death, the longest place I've ever stayed was at my hotel, I had bought it after I sold of dad's family hou
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER TWENTY SIXMELISSA.My heart was still pounding heavily even seconds after he had left.I inhaled sharply closing my eyes, right now, I knew it wasn't just gratitude that I was feeling towards him right now, no, it was too strong and vivid to be termed as gratitude.Somehow, this dominant controlling man had managed to pull on my heartstrings, I couldn't even convince myself anymore that I was indifferent about him.Oh god! I shouldn't be feeling this towards him, it wasn't part of the deal.Thinking about it now, how had he arrived at the right moment.... both times?I remembered that he had said something to the other man who had first confronted me.Had he followed me?No, if he had, he definitely wouldn't have been asking how the coffee with my imaginary " Paul and his girlfriend " went,
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER TWENTY SEVENSEBASTIANThe call ended and she still wasn't back. Something told me that she was staying away intentionally, the thought didn't sit well with me.I straightened to my feet and headed towards the kitchen just in time to see her returning a bottle of water into the fridge.I heard her loud sigh as she leaned against the kitchen wall.She was staring at the space ahead , still unaware of my presence until I almost got to where she stood, she turned around with a slight gasp of surprise."When did you come in? " She asked."Just now, where were you lost? You were saying something back there "Almost immediately, her gaze clouded with an emotion I recognize too well. She toyed with her fingers, her expression filled with doubts and nervousness, I could almost feel her withdrawing to herself , the little break that phone
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER TWENTY EIGHTMELISSA.His cellphone had rung, I had left with that distraction. No, more like escaped. I had just wanted to break out from myself and everything, even if it was only for a short time. Starting to open up everything to him had been way more difficult than I had anticipated.Each moment I spent dragging deep breaths to my lungs made the doubts and anxiety settle more fully.He had asked who was after me. I hadn't been able to bare to him all of my internal fears, I hadn't been able to tell him that I was that a ghost might be after me.Ronnie has been dead for eight years, how could he just resurface? And resume tormenting my mind once again?Sebastian's gaze had been filled with understanding, but even then I still hadn't been able to let it out, but it had been for a whole lot different reason. If I told him about Ronnie, then I would have to open up about everything, on all the
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER TWENTY NINE**SEBASTIANI shouldn't have been affected the way it did, her words combined with the way her gaze was tilted to mine sent a frenzied rush of need through me, pumping blood into my manhood and sizzling it to life.it was a relief to know I wasn't the only one who was so damn fixated with her.I wasn't the only one who couldn't get her off my mind to the extent that I felt I was losing my sanity.Knowing she also felt something too wouldn't make anything easier, hell it would only get more dangerous, we could easily get burnt from the destination we were heading to, despite these thoughts, I couldn't deny myself the burning sweet rush of pleasure that this moment provided.Jerking her towards me, I plunged my tongue into her warm inviting mouth, her arms wounded around my shoulders to pull me, even closer to her, if that wa
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER THIRTYMELISSA.His intense gaze and grip around my midsection held me captive, pulling me to lean against the heat of his body.Each question cutting through my heart, until the pain became almost unbearable, like shards of glass piercing through my skin.The corners of my eyes seared with pain until his image became blurry before me.A part of me that was so afraid of what he would think of me rivaled against the piece of me that had bottled my fears for too long, the part that longed to let everything drop out.I dragged in a deep breath, wiping against the corners of my eyes.' He was the first person to own me ' The moment the words slipped out of my mouth, I felt him tense against me, the muscles of his arms wrapped around me turned rigid." Tell me everything " He spoke in a fierce whisper.I met his searing gaze slowly,
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER THIRTY ONEMELISSA.His gaze was deep and appeared a little distant, it was as if he was thinking hard about something. His attention reverted to me, a spike of worry shot through me, was there something wrong?Just as I was about to ask, he broke the silence, but his tone sounded rigid. "What did you say was his full name? "There was an edge to his tone that made me think he wasn't just asking casually."I already told you I don't know " I whispered, still wondering why he looked so tensed. I never knew Ronald's last or middle name, I had never tried to find as well, for all I knew he had always been referred to as " Ronnie"His silence clawed my insides with worry, I had the feeling that something was up, why was he being hesitant to tell me?"What's wrong Sebastian? " I voiced, unable to contain the painstaking silence.I heard his sharp intake of breath as he seemed to relax
SINFUL OBSESSION CHAPTER THIRTY TWO MELISSA. Noon came by pretty quickly, I stared absentmindedly at my reflection as I buttoned the blouse I wore.A room away was Sebastian, as time went past, I couldn't help but feel he was being reluctant with this meeting with Rick. As much as I was excited to know that he was so concerned about me and couldn't bear for anything to go wrong, it still couldn't compare with the nervousness at the reality of the whole situation before me.I exhaled aloud to ease the tight knot of tension in my stomach, I was done with the buttons, I started to gather my hair into a loosed bun when the door pushed open and Sebastian entered. His gaze found mine and locked as he walked over in sure strides.A knot that had nothing to do with the nervousness formed a lump in my throat. This man cared about me? It was almost unbeli
