What?
Is he in there sleeping, or was that him that just left?
I get my phone from the side table and switch it on. It’s 6:40 a.m.
My hand drags down my face. He has a breakfast on in twenty minutes, so it was Sebastian who left.
I slump my shoulders in disappointment. I wanted to see him this morning.
He's busy, I guess. He works damn hard. Is every day like this for him?
His schedule is back-to-back, but then I guess that’s because Theodore is away and now Sebastian is doing two jobs instead of one.
I open the curtains to let the light in, and I stare out at the street below. The sun is rising but it looks cold. I see a man walking his dog, and a woman on a yellow pushbike. She has a breadstick in a basket at the front of her bike.
I squirm, still tender from where Sebastian has been.
A smile crosses my face, remembering last night and how wonderful it was—how wonderful he was.
I've never slept with a man like Sebastian Garcia before.
Powerful, dominant, and one hundred percent male perfection.
I remember the way he held my legs back in his take no prisoners' way, like he owned them. The way he looked at me as he went down on me. The way he whispered in my ear as he gave it to me hard.
I feel myself begin to throb down below.
Wow.
I stand at the back of the crowd while the formalities take place.
The press is here, and they are all snapping away with their cameras.
After touring three schools this morning, we are now at a university.
Sebastian is opening the new medical wing. The speeches are in full swing, and I puff air into my cheeks as about one hundred people gather around.
Sebastian is standing in line, listening intently. There is a big red ribbon across the entrance doors, waiting to be cut.
Sebastian smiles as he listens to the speaker gushing over the new facility. He's transfixed on what they are saying, and I have to wonder how he holds his concentration for so long.
Who knew that the political campaign trail was so boring? Question after question about policies and budgets, projected incomes and roads, spendings and blah, blah, fucking blah.
Sebastian hasn’t glanced my way all day. Although I know, realistically, he can't, I kind of thought he might give me the look at least once.
One night and I’m feeling like this. Ugh, look at me being all needy.
I've been at the back of the crowd, watching all day while he talks in whispers to his advisor, Kellan. She stands beside him, and I don’t know what they talk about but it seems to be a lot.
I'm not an insecure woman; I'm just not. I hold my own and feel like I could take anyone on. But Kellan is next level beautiful and captivating. The worst part is that she's intelligent, and even I find myself fawning over whatever it is she has to say.
Don’t be a pathetic, insecure bitch, I remind myself. That’s not who you are.
The funny thing is, though, that Mr. Garcia makes me feel more of a female than I've ever been before, and maybe that’s not such a good thing when there is another beautiful female thrown into the mix.
My eyes roam over her fitted black dress that shows off her beautiful figure, and her high heels and sheer stockings. Her dark hair is pulled back into a ponytail. She's just as interested in the speeches as Sebastian is, too.
I'm just interested in their friendship, that's all. Nothing untoward here. I'm just doing my job. Crisis management.
Hopefully, it won't be my fucking crisis I have to manage, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Stop thinking ahead. Maybe last night was a one-off thing. Maybe it will never happen again. But deep down I know that it will. It was too good for it not to. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Earth-shattering sex is totally worth the risk.
I drop my head and smirk. An annoying little voice whispers something deep in my psyche: It's so much more than sex.
I stand up and straighten my shoulders. It is just sex, April. Don’t even fucking go there.
Bart digs his phone out of his pocket and then walks away to answer it.
The time comes, and Sebastian steps forward with the cameras snapping away. He cuts the red ribbon, we all clap, and he begins his speech.
"Good afternoon." He smiles gracefully as he looks around at the crowd. "Thank you for the kind invitation. I'm honored to be here."
My heart swells. He speaks so well in public. He never falters, and he never goes off script. His deep voice captivates everyone in the audience, and I realize it now… I see what they see.
Sebastian Garcia is a born leader. Driven and focused. I've listened to him deliver at least fifteen speeches in the last two days, and every single time I've been riveted. He's strong and non-apologetic, but his message is good—always good.
