Unlawful Escort (Unlawful Series book 1) (25 page)

Paige wrinkled her nose and they both laughed.

“I’m serious about what I said earlier about you moving in with me”, Paige said sternly.

“Thanks for offering but I really couldn’t intrude on you like that.”

“You really wouldn’t be intruding and we could get to know one another better."

“I don’t know”, Gabby said, standing, but Paige could tell that she really wanted to accept.

“At least, think about it.”

“Ok”, she agreed smiling
ly reluctantly and eyeing the door, “I think we should get Brad, he’s probably got the entire building surrounded by armed men in case I try to pull something”, she rolled her eyes dramatically and Paige laughed, “he’s so protective of you”.

She barely said the words before Sebastian re-entered the room, “Mark will take you back to the hotel
”, he said brusquely.

Paige hugged her warmly as they said their goodbyes and promised to see each other soon.

CHAPTER FORTY SIX

PAIGE SIGHED HEAVILY; SINKING TO THE EDGE OF
the bed
as the door closed behind Gabby.

Sebastian drew a chair and sat before her, “hey, are you ok”.

"I'm fine. When did you find out that I wasn't her?"

"I think I knew from the beginning", his eyes softened, "but I started investigating the night of my staff party when you saw Roberta and didn't recognize her".

Despite all that had transpired between them, she found that she was quite happy that he did
n’
t seem upset with her for not telling him the truth.

“I invited Gabby to come live with Josh and me.”

“What!”

“She’s my sister Sebastian and she’s had a rough life.”

“Alright”, he held up his hands in surrender.

“
What are you doing here anyways?”

Furious green eyes clashed with level brown ones, “I love you”, he said suddenly
and she exclaimed sharply, “I think I did from that night I held you in my arms when you were drunk. I’d never held a woman like that before”, he admitted softly and her heart softened.

“But you said…” she began; convinced that her ears were playing tricks on her
; either that or Sebastian was merely fooling around.

“I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to give you the love and happiness
I thought you deserved”, his eyes averted to his hands, “but when you left I realized that I’m not the same man who approached you almost four months ago”, he laughed softly, his gaze ricocheting to hers, “you’ve helped me to appreciate the simple joy of breathing, smiling; your laughter has chased away the sadness from my soul and I don’t just want to live anymore, I want to live to make you happy”, he ended fiercely and she closed her eyes as a tear slid down her cheeks.

“It hurts me so much when
I wake up in the mornings and you’re not there and I remember that you’ll never be…”-

“For that I’m truly sorry
and these past weeks have been hell without you and for once I understood the pain I saw in your eyes when you ran from the penthouse two weeks ago”, his beautiful brown eyes glazed with regret as he griped her hands fiercely, “please say you’ll forgive me and give me a chance to make it up to you”, his voice was hoarse with emotion as he fell to his knees before her and hugged her waist; burying his face into her stomach.

Her hand
thread through his hair instinctively as her heart melted with love for this strong, egocentric and pigheaded man that had just admitted that he loved her. Her heart soared with gladness; his love made the misery of the previous months worthwhile. She slid from the bed to kneel on the floor before him; cupping his face lovingly, she kissed him with all the love she held inside her heart for him.

“Hmm”, he moaned, his hands skimming over her back to
grip her ass and she swat his hand playfully and broke the kiss before rising to her feet and he followed.

She fidgeted with his
tie, “I’m mad at you”, she feigned solemnity and his face fell, “you hit on my sister”, she thumped his chest; her lips twitching and he yelped in surprise.

“She told you that!” the expression on his face was priceless and she burst out laughing.

“Gotha”, she doubled over with laughter and his face reddened.

“I did hit on her”, he admitted grudgingly and she slapped h
im harder, “but that was a long time ago”, he added quickly; his lips inching close to hers and her breath caught in her throat, “I can hardly concentrate on my work, much less another woman. You’re all I can think about.”

He lifted her unto the bed where he positioned her on her back before crawling on top of her and nuzzling her neck and she could feel his arousal pressing into her inner thighs. Her bod
y tingled with awareness as he nibbled her lips.

“We’ve done it in a
library with a ball going on in the next room”, he murmured between kisses, “in the kitchen, on almost every furniture in the house, in the Jacuzzi…”-

“Stop”, she pleaded, her body burning at
his sensual reminiscence, “can we do it in a hospital now please?” she asked, breathlessly.

“You read my mind, I hope you don’t mind using another form of contraceptive”, he nibbled her ears, “I like riding you bareback”.

“Hmm.”

He smiled devilishly before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.

“No fraternizing with the patient”, the Doctor’s stern voice broke through the desire cloaking her brain and she wrenched free of Sebastian’s grasp; red faced, so suddenly that he almost fell from the narrow bed.

Sebastian rose from the bed, straight faced, as if they hadn’t almost been caught in dishabille
and the Doctor fidgeted with his glasses.

“Would you mind knocking next time Doctor?” Sebastian said barefacedly
and the doctor blushed.

He cleared his throat, “there’s no need; I’m releasing Ms. Sinclair. Her blood results were normal
”.

He stayed long enough to emphasize that she should rest, while staring pointedly at Sebastian, and maintain a healthy diet. The Doctor had barely quit the room before they both erupted with laughter.

“So Ms. Sinclair”, Sebastian mimicked the Doctor and she laughed, “How do you feel about moving in permanently with me and being my real girlfriend?”

“
Sounds as irresistible as you, so it’s a definite yes”, she kissed him deeply.

He reluctantly set her aside, “so I guess this means we won’t be sampling the hospital today”.

“I guess not”, she pouted prettily, before perking up, “but there’s always later…”

“Come on before you convince me to sample that bed after all and remember the Doctor said lots of rest.”

“I’ll rest even better after I…” she tipped on her toe to whisper in his ear, “…fuck you until you shout my name and beg me never to stop”, color stained his cheeks and she laughed.

“You are a naughty girl and my foul mouth is rubbing off on you”, he slapped her ass; his eyes blazing with lust.

“I know something of yours that I’d love to rub inside me right now”, she purred; blatantly gripping his arousal as she bit her lower lip and he shuddered with desire.

“I think I’ll settle for sampling the car
”, he said, slithering out of her grasp to quickly collect her purse, “but we’ll have to save the screaming for later”.

She nodded; smiling triumphantly as he ushered her through the halls; confident that he would fill
her days with laughter and love and she would, in turn, do the same.
