Public Heat

    Victoria spent the next few days trying to catch up on her work. She told herself she would stay focused and get right back on schedule. But every time she sat down to paint, as if on cue, her thoughts went straight back to Sebastian.

She was thinking of the way he had looked at her when he said he wanted more than just sex, the way he had fucked her so deep and possessive, and the way he had invited her to the charity gala like it was the most natural thing in the world.

She was completely hooked.

On the night of the gala, the black car picked her up at seven thirty. Victoria wore a long, elegant black gown with a deep slit up one leg and a low back. She felt nervous and excited at the same time. This was not just any event. This was going to be very public.

When she arrived at the grand hotel ballroom, Sebastian was waiting for her near the entrance. He looked incredible in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo. The moment he saw her, his eyes darkened with hunger.

“You look fucking beautiful,” he said, pulling her close. His hand rested on her lower back, his fingers brushing her bare skin.

"Every man here is going to be jealous tonight.”

He leaned in and kissed her - not a quick kiss or a peck, but a slow, deep one right there in front of everyone walking in. Victoria’s body reacted instantly as heat pooled between her legs. She was already getting wet for him.

Sebastian kept his arm around her as they walked into the ballroom. The place was full of important people, as he had said - celebrities, business tycoons, politicians, and wealthy art collectors. Many heads turned when they entered. Victoria could feel the eyes on them. Some people whispered while others seemed to smile knowingly.

Sebastian introduced her to several guests.

“This is Victoria Stone, an incredibly talented artist who's on the rise.”

People greeted her warmly. A few collectors said they had been following her work. One woman even mentioned she wanted to buy one of her paintings. Victoria felt a rush of pride, but it was also mixed with something else - the knowledge that most of these people were looking at her because she was on Sebastian’s arm.

Throughout the evening, Sebastian didn't stop touching her. His hand stayed on her lower back. Sometimes it slid lower, resting just above her ass.

Under the table during dinner, his fingers traced slow circles on her thigh through the slit in her dress. Every touch made her wetter.

At one point, while a famous actor was giving a speech, Sebastian leaned close to her ear and whispered,

“I can’t stop thinking about how wet your pussy is right now. I bet if I slipped my hand under this dress, I would find you dripping for me.”

Victoria’s breath stopped. She pressed her thighs together, but it only made the ache stronger. She was soaked. Her clit throbbed every time he spoke.

“Why do you always do this? We're out in public, behave,” she whispered back, but her voice was shaky with desire. 

Sebastian chuckled softly.

“Never ever.”

After dinner, the lights dimmed for dancing.

Sebastian pulled her onto the dance floor. He held her close, with one hand on her waist, and the other sliding dangerously low on her back. Their bodies moved together slowly. Victoria could feel how hard he was against her stomach.

“You’re driving me crazy in this dress,” he said.

“I want to take you somewhere private and fuck you right now.”

Victoria’s heart raced. She badly wanted it too.

They danced for a little while longer, but the tension between them kept building. Finally, Sebastian took her hand and led her away from the main ballroom. He found a quiet, dimly lit hallway near the back of the hotel.

The moment they were alone, he pushed her gently against the wall and kissed her hard. His tongue slid into her mouth while his hand slipped through the slit of her dress. His fingers found her soaked panties and rubbed her clit through the thin fabric.

“I knew it. So fucking wet,” he growled against her lips.

“All night, just from being with me.”

Victoria moaned softly. She was dripping. Her hips moved against his hand, chasing the pleasure.

Sebastian pushed her panties aside and slid two fingers inside her. He pumped them slowly while his thumb circled her clit. Victoria clung to his shoulders, trying not to make too much noise.

“Come for me,” he whispered. “Right here and right now".

The commanding tone in his whisper tipped her over. She came hard, biting her lip to stay quiet. Her walls clenched around his fingers as waves of pleasure rushed through her. Sebastian kept moving his fingers until the last tremor left her body.

When she finally calmed down, he pulled his hand out and brought his fingers to his mouth, licking them clean while looking into her eyes.

“Delicious,” he said with a dark smile.

Victoria was still breathing hard. Her legs felt weak. She wanted him inside her so badly, but Sebastian just kissed her forehead and straightened her dress.

“Not here,” he said. “I want to take my time with you later at my place.”

They returned to the gala like nothing had happened, but Victoria could barely focus on anything else. Every time Sebastian looked at her, she felt fresh heat between her legs.

As the night ended and they got into the car, Sebastian pulled her onto his lap. He kissed her deeply while his hands roamed over her body.

“You were perfect tonight. Everyone saw you with me. Your art is going to get so much more attention now.”

Victoria smiled, but a small part of her wondered how much of this attention was because of her talent … and how much was because she was now Sebastian Montez’s woman.

When they finally reached his villa, Sebastian carried her straight to the bedroom. He took off her dress slowly, kissing every inch of skin he revealed. Then he made love to her - slow, deep, and possessive.

He fucked her until she came more times than she cared to count, whispering again and again that she was his.

Afterward, as she lay in his arms, tired and satisfied, Victoria realized something important.

She was no longer just falling.

She was already deep in his world.

And she wanted to stay there.
