"Does that feel good?" Sebastian whispered, gently kneading the skin of my back.
"Stop saying that..." I muttered, face pressed in the sheets, "it's so...."
"Kinky?" he said, amused.
I groaned in annoyance. "No, weird. All you're doing is massaging my back."
He only chuckled.
In fact... it was quite the opposite.
Wait... what was the opposite of sex?
Okay, I needed to stop thinking about this.
I'd been lying on my bed, belly down and playing on my phone, and Sebastian walked in and suddenly started massaging my back.
And—of course—my response was, "please don't stop" because my back felt like it had a million knots.
He just sat on the bed and continued, but of course he had to tease me.
"Okay... please don't stop. That feels nice."
He chuckled. "Are you begging for more, Skye?"
I glared at him. "Stop it. You're making me...."
"Flustered?"
"Embarrassed," I corrected, pressing my face down. "But... please continue."
He chuckled again.
"Does your back hurt?" he said, still kneading my muscles through my T-shirt.
"Yes..." I whispered.
"Alright," he whispered, brushing my hair away from my neck. "Am I making it better or worse?"
"Better..." I said again, voice muffled with the sheets.
He chuckled and kept kneading, and I felt him watching me.
After a moment, he finally said, "Skye, you're very tense. Relax a little, okay?"
I parted my lashes. "I'm always tense."
"That's why your back is hurting," he commented, still pressing into my skin. "Relax, okay?"
I tried to, but I didn't succeed well. "I can't."
He sighed and lowered himself on the bed next to me, and I glanced over when his hands set on my back.
He just brushed his palm up my shoulder blade, making me shiver at the soothing chills running through me.
"Better?" he said then.
I closed my eyes tightly as he continued rubbing my back with a gentleness I didn't know he had.
After a moment, I heard him shuffle closer. "There you go, you're melting."
I parted my lashes when he lightly kissed my neck, continuing to rub my back as he set his head on my shoulder blade.
I felt his breath heat my skin, and I felt my mind cloud with ease.
"You're melting more," he told me; a smile in his tone. "Good girl."
"D—don't... praise me..." I told him. "I'm not a child."
He ignored me. "You see? This is what happens when your muscles are eased. Feels good, doesn't it?"
It did.
It really did.
He just kept rubbing. "I think I should change Kiki to Angel, or Sweetheart, or maybe baby."
"Oh, lord, please save me," I muttered, "this man is horrifying."
He chuckled, kissing my neck again. "Love you."
"I love you, too, Sebastian," I whispered.
He propped his chin up on my back. "Is it hard for you to say that?"
I was silent for a moment, but finally whispered, "Yes."
"Does it hurt your pride?" he said then, and I could feel him smiling. "Does it hurt the fact that you have to love someone other than yourself?"
I laughed softly. "Asshole. That's you."
He nipped my back, making me wince. "Don't say such mean things about me. Or I bite something else."
I gave him a look.
"Ahem," someone said from the doorway, making both Sebastian and I shoot up.
It was just one of the fallen Sebastian took under his wing.
He had long, golden hair, and bright, green eyes.
"Uh, sir," he said, a thick British accent emanating from his tone. "Sorry for ruining the moment, sir, but... I had a query."
Sebastian tipped his head to the side. "What?"
"Uhm... I was just wondering who this girl was." He gestured over to me.
I blinked, glancing over at Sebastian nervously.
"Oh," Sebastian said then, making my lips part as he set his hand on my back, and I nearly jumped, "this is Jacob; one of the fallen that lives here. And Jake, this is Skye. My girlfriend."
He seemed a little confused at first, and my brows drew together. "Uh, Skye, you say?"
Sebastian nodded, but something in his expression cracked, and he gave Jacob a warning look.
My heart skipped a beat, and I nearly started panting.
"But, sir," Jacob said to Sebastian, "isn't she the one you...."
"Tais-toi," Sebastian hissed, cutting him off and making me still, "á moins que tu veuilles mourir. J'ai change d'avis. Elle n'est plus la cible. J'ai ue tort."
Did he just speak a different language?
But what did he say?
Jacob just seemed to step back at the warning in his eyes. "Pourquoi?"
"Je ne veux plus le faire," Sebastian replied, eyes dulling in... regret? "Vous m'aves dit que c'était faux; tu avais raison. C'était faux."
Jacob seemed to sink back into himself, smirking. "I'm always right, aren't I?"
Sebastian glared. "Get out before I decide to stab you again."
He chuckled and walked off.
I just shot over to Sebastian. "What happened? What did you say?"
He smiled over at me. "It's none of your concern, okay?"
I felt anger brim inside me. "Bullshit! You were talking about me!"
"No, we weren't," Sebastian assured me.
"Yes, you were!"
"Skye..." he said softly, "we were talking about the dog."
I glanced down at the floor where Lucipurr sat, and the puppy I saved—who I named Cheese because he farted every second—was doing the play-stance, wagging his tail as Lucipurr gave him a "what the hell are you doing" look.
I then glanced back up at Sebastian, giving him a side-glance. "You're lying."
He sighed, tipping his head back. "Are we seriously going to argue about this?"
"Only if you continue lying to me," I retorted, tone clipped. "He asked who I was, proceeded to comment about if I was the girl 'who,' and you talked in a different language you knew I wasn't going to understand. What were you talking about?"
He sighed again before complying, "He was asking me if you were the girl North was after, and I had to harshly explain to him that it was a sensitive subject."
I eased back into myself at the softness of his gaze, and I nodded, looking away.
But he was still hiding something.
I could feel it.79Please respect copyright.PENANAJiTa6gQsZc
