Chasing Imperfection (Chasing Series 2) (20 page)

     She started to tear
up
.
I got up and hugged her. “
I don’t know anymore, Sienna.
I love him
—I love him more than anything but I can’t stand being in the middle of him and his family. Ev
en if they are horrible parents—
they are
family
. I don’t want to be that woman who would drive a wedge between a son and his mother.”

     I feel her pain and it saddens me that she was even thinking of leaving Toby. She’s a determined woman and she already made a decision. The question is when will she tell him? Toby would be devastated.

     “Oh Luce—I’m so sorry. This is all wrong. His mother and grandmother need to take a hike and never come back.”

    
She laughed through tears. “Don’t be daft—those two do not own trainers. I doubt they can hike in their Wellingtons.”

     She groaned and she did it in a cute way. Sniffing, “where is every
one? You mentioned a party
over the phone
,
”
s
he asked as she took in the penthouse.

     “It started last night but ended right around noon. This entire place was trashed with men and their groupies
,
Luce—it was a si
ght to see!
It was a blast!”

     “Well good thing one of us is having a good time. Blake is in the apartment waiting for you. The man doesn’t look happy
—
consider yourself forewarned.”

     “I can’t face him right now Luce—or I
will
breakdown. I mean, why would he be angry? He took his ex fiancé out last night. From where I’m standing, he’s enjoying his bachelor status to the hilt.”

     “
You both are mad!
You two cannot be in the same room without setting it ablaze. The always polished man has got it bad for you. Give him another chance—you certainly look like you’re about to give it to Kyle, why can’t Blake have a fair shot as well? After all—it is all is fair in love and war.”

     “It isn’t that easy with Blake—
he’s so complex
—it scares the hell out of me.
He hurt me more than
Kyle ever did.
That’s why it’s so hard but at the same time—when he touches me—I become undone. He has this power over me and it’s mystifying.”

     “Abso-fucking-lutely! That man certainly was made with sex and oodles of majestic male dominance. Don’t get me wrong—I love my Toby to
bits but I can admire one fine specimen
if I see one
. When he came out of your bedroom th
e other morning with
those
clingy boxer briefs
and his scrumptious chiseled chest
—I squealed like a school girl.
And from what I heard from you two—the sex is bombastic.” I threw a pillow at her. “Seriously love—p
onder it through
. Do what makes you happy. Don’t get me wrong—I think Kyle loves you just as much as my dear Blake does—but you lighten up and blossom when Blake is with you.”

     She stood up and stretched lazily. “I have to go. Thank you for seeing your muddled friend even if I called around midnight.”

     “Now
,
you’re being silly Luce. I didn’t care much about the time. Do you want something to eat? Drink, perhaps?”

     “I should go and get back to Toby. I want to enjoy my time with him before it ends. You’
re coming back tomorrow
right?”
We got up and started to walk to where the elevator was located.

     “Yes, I’ll be back in the morning. I have to
be in
class
for two hours then I’m going to see Chad. Think about Toby Luce—you’re going to break his heart.” Her face paled.

     “We shall see. Goodnight love,”
she
kiss
ed
both of my cheeks and hugged me fiercely. Letting me go, she gave me a little wave before stepping in the private lift.

     Exhaling noisily as I let myself in the kitchen, plucked the phone out of its receiver and ordered
a
late dinner. I haven’t really had a proper meal since I was trashed
last night
and slept most of the afternoon. I ordered for two.

    
When the food arrived twenty minutes
later
, I
set it up
on
the kitchen counter and took
the
liberty of opening a champagne bottle and chilled it in the iced silver bucket. I could’ve set this on the terrace but it is November and already chilly outside
—
especially when it’s almost two in the morning.
T
he kitchen sufficed, it was cozy in here.

     I strode barefoot to get Kyle. “Are you hungry? I ordered food.” He smiled as he looked up from his laptop.

    
“Yes, I am actually—go ahead and start—be there with you in a minute.”

     “It better be a minute or less. A second more will put you in a ‘no kissing zone’ for the rest of the night.” He immediately closed his la
ptop and went to grab my waist
.

    
“You sure know how to dictate
to
me
.
I love it when you get bossy
, Sienna
.” 

     Once in the kitchen, we ate with relish. We both had a hearty appetite after last night. We nibbled bits and pieces
throughout the day
but never a
full meal. We were
quite
hungry. We shared a bottle each of the famed fizzy bubbles. My mind and body
were
in full-on chill mode.

     “Things with Lucy turned out okay? She looked off for some reason.” No, she isn’t okay. The woman was about to sacrifice her happiness
for
the sake of Toby’s
family. No,
she definitely isn’t okay
but she had her mind made up, sadly.

     “Not really—but I can’t talk about it. It’s complicated.” My heart broke for those two. What an atrocious and abominable parents to have. My face contorted thinking of Toby’s parents and grandmother. They should be ashamed meddling in Toby’s life. The man is entitled to have a happy life and choose who he wants to be with.

     “No worries. Oh, I spoke to
M
om and
D
ad. They both said hi.” Pulling my barstool closer to him
he
ki
ssed me mindless. After
minute, I p
ulled away and drained my champagne flute
.

     His eyes consumed me
greedily
. He looked rapacious and forbidding. I lifted an arched brow, “yes?” I inquired.

    
He
cocked his head and instantly had me on the island kitchen counter. His eyes turned molten
.
“You look reall
y good in my shirt baby. I’m
ha
ving
a hard time resisting you.” H
e gushed as he took my lips
. He planted himself in betwe
en my legs and pulled my hips against
his own
.
The empty dishes were pushed aside.
I moaned as he pinched my nipple through the shirt. “I want you so much,” he said in between kisses. I could feel his erection and I was tempted….
so tempted
to just say yes and forget about Blake.

     H
e
rapidly pulled his shirt off me and lavished my breasts with undivided attention. Moaning and writhing on the cold marble kitchen counter
I gripped his hair when he traced his hot tongue over my laced mound and nipped it.
Holy shit!
No, not yet.

     “Not yet
,
” I muttered through gasping breaths.

    
He growled, “Fuck Sienna—I can’t wait anymore.”
He picked me up and briskly found the bedroom and flung me to the sheets. Kyle looked like an ardent predator as he lingered over my naked body
.

  
  I was astounded and didn’t have a second to think or articulate a word when he executed his feral needs on my aching breasts. I was t
h
rashing and gasping when I felt his hand hastily
take
my lacy underwear off. His finger found my wet folds. “No,” I muttered in bet
ween gasps. Fuck, I can’t think!

    
He groaned and stuck a finger inside me.
Holy guacamole!
I have to stop this craziness.

     “You sure don’t feel like you want me to stop, ba
by. You still feel like nirvana
….
my fucking
nirvana
.” He growled possessively.

     I was going to say
“
Kyle—we have to stop
”
but I ended up moaning his named when he started to grind his finger at the
ridged spot inside me. Kyle had
the magic
fingers, hands down.
H
e knew it too.

     Damn, those happy bubbles are making me delirious. My body broke out in sweat and I am
at the very tip of surrender.

     “
You don’t want this
, Sienna? Do you
want me
to stop? Do you want me to
stop touching
you?” His finger was relentless and I whimpered in frustration. “You have to try harder baby—because I sure wouldn’t stop.
Fuck no
—not when I have
you
all to myself
,
spread-eagled and readily fuckable.” He propped on one elbow and captured my nipple
with
his
other
finger still stuck inside me.

    
Oh, s
hit cakes.

     He kissed my neck and squeezed my breast with his soaked finger.
“I love you—so damn much.”

     “Kyle—maybe—” he silenced me with a kiss. I felt him shift and his finger found my pussy again. I was writhing in
pure
tormented physical and mental agony.

     He took out his finger and took hold of my
hip
s
and plunged inside me with one
quick thrust. My eyes widened when I felt him thrust deeper.
Oh hell, when did he take off his pants?

     “Shit—baby!” he groaned as he slid in and out of me. “I love you
,
” muttering through closed eyes as he found momen
tum and drove harder inside me.

     There was no going back…I felt wretched when my body responded to him.

    
So
much for resistance
.

      He screamed my name as he came and my body rode along with him in harmonious orgasm.

      When Kyle gathered me in his arms and finally fell asleep, I felt a hot tear slide
down
the side of my face.

    
Blake
…..

13

Blake

     It was already ten in the morning and still I haven’t heard from Sienna. Toby left for the office around seven thirty. I should be at work too but I was set in waiting for Sienna.

     Lucy was somewhere in
her
room. She looked pained for reasons I do not know. When I asked, she simply shrugged and pretended everything was okay.

     I was in the kitchen working through emails. I got up when I noticed my cup was empty an
d needed a refill. I
strode to the coffee machine. I poured coffee and
added two teaspoons of sugar. When I
heard the rustle
of the key grating
in
the lock, m
y body tensed in anticipation.

   
Heavy thud of high-heeled shoes and a happy masculine voice
echoed in the quiet atmosphere
, it’s the
pathetic prick
—
with Sienna
.
