“Do Conner and Aiden know?” I ask, assuming if anyone else knows, then it would be his closest friends. Sebastian doesn’t seem particularly close to his parents. I want to know why, but that topic is definitely off-limits, at least for now.

“They know I mess around with instruments when I’m deep in thought or stressed out, but I don’t play for them. I don’t play for anyone,” he explains as his eyes penetrate me.

I swallow. “I didn’t mean to interrupt.”

“It’s fine. I’m sorry I woke you. I was trying to be quiet.”

Looking around again, I find an old picture of Conner, Aiden, and Sebastian on the wall. I walk over to it and study them. The three of them are so very different.

“How did you all become friends?” I ask without turning around.

I hear him move and feel the heat of his body behind mine. I can smell his cologne as his chest presses to my back. “We pledged the same fraternity.”

His answer is so short that I know there is more to it. One doesn’t have a bond that tight unless they’ve experienced things with the other people. Were they hazed? Did they vacation together? Did they spend endless nights at bars picking up girls? What made them go from pledge brothers to real brothers? I have so many questions, but I don’t vocalize any of them. The time doesn’t feel right.

Sebastian’s hands come to my arms, gripping them lightly. His lips press to my shoulder and then my neck. I bend my head to give him more access as he trails kisses up to my ear.

“Let’s get you back to bed,” he murmurs as he guides me through the door and back to his room.

Chapter15

Sebastian

After another roundof mind-blowing sex, she gets up and walks to my bathroom. I smirk when I see she has no clue how to turn on the shower. She hesitates, her hand on a knob. It’s adorable. I reach over and hit a button on the remote. The rain showerhead comes to life, and she jumps back as though she’s broken it. I can’t help the chuckle that escapes my mouth.

She turns and looks at me, wide-eyed. “How…I mean…I…” She trails off as she looks back at the water and then at me. Finally taking pity on her, I get out of bed and stalk across the room. She backs up until her body makes contact with the glass shower door.

“Now, now, you mustn’t touch things without permission. You could break something,” I scold. She puts her little hands on her hips and glares at me. “This is hardly broken. I didn’t even touch anything.”

I smirk. “Or did you? I better test it out to make sure,” I state as I pull her to me and open the door before walking both of us inside and under the water. I reach over her and press a few buttons on the wall. The eight other jets turn on, giving us the full effect of the shower. Two massage showerheads, a rainfall showerhead, a waterfall showerhead, and four jet showerheads complete the experience. I feel her body relax against mine.

“Oh my God, how do you get anything done? I don’t think I can ever leave this shower,” she murmurs as she leans her head back, letting the rainfall water pour down over her face. I watch beads of water slide down her neck and in between her breasts. Shit, I could watch this all day long.

“Maybe I’ll keep you captive here,” I whisper as I lean down and nip at her earlobe. She shudders under my touch, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love her reaction.

There’s a long bench in my shower and I walk around her and sit down. “Come sit,” I say as I pat my leg. She bites her lip and looks at the space next to me. I spread my thighs farther, telling her that those seats aren’t available. There’s only one place she can sit, and as I palm my dick, I watch her eyes follow my movements. She knows where to sit. The sheepish look from a moment ago is gone and in its place is the Alexis that turns me on the most—it’s seductress Alexis. She slowly takes the last three steps to me, stepping confidently between my thighs. Her eyes watch me as I stroke my cock. No words are exchanged between us as she puts one knee on either side of my hips. She hovers over the tip of my cock for a long second before pressing down just enough to have the head slide into her velvety softness.

I close my eyes and wait but she doesn’t move. I practically growl as I open my eyes and find her watching me intently. “Are you going to play nice, or will I have to do it for you?” I ask.

She smirks, and in one fluid movement, she slams herself down on me.

“Fuck!” I yell from the shock of her body’s grasp on my erection. It’s almost too intense.

I glare at her, telling her that she is playing a little too close to the sun. She doesn’t look apologetic or sheepish this time; she just places her forehead against mine and begins to move in painfully slow thrusts. She might be young, but this woman knows exactly how to move her body, no instructions are needed.

She leans her body forward, forcing my cock against the front wall of her hot channel and I know when I hit the spot she desires because she gives the smallest tremble, just enough to tell me she’s close. I grip her hips and take control, thrusting up in fast, short movements against the spot I know drives her crazy. Her breathing becomes ragged, and her hands grip my shoulders tighter. I watch her as she comes undone on me. I let her body relax and then I lift her almost off me before slamming her back down one last time. That’s all it takes between the force of her body gliding down over mine and her inner muscles undulating around me, I lose my control and come deep inside her. I keep her pinned in place, as my dick jerks, again and again, releasing every last drop.

After we finish cleaning up,I take her hand, leading her into my closet where I find her a shirt to put on before leading her to my office.

“We need to make heads or tails of all this research,” I announce as I sit down and pull over a seat so she can view my monitor.

She sits and I open the files, one by one. We begin to go through them. It’s nothing new. The same information about the drugs they make and the medical devices that Halfagher makes. After an hour, I lean back in my chair.

“Alexis, I know you had this gut feeling, and to be fair, I wouldn’t trust Jared Pallin with a dog let alone a human, but there’s nothing here. They must be making a killing with the drug they just put on the market,” I state as I point to the screen.

Alexis frowns and leans forward. “Maybe we aren’t looking in the right places?”
