Chapter 4 Ran Out of The Bedroom

TAMMY’S POV

This food is surprisingly good, better than most fine dining restaurants Sean takes me to.

But I just can’t shake the thought of that bracelet around Sue’s wrist. I have to ask Sean about it when we’re alone tonight.

“Thanks for this Sue. Ángel really can cook!”

“Oh yes, darling. He owns the best restaurant in Spain! Splendid, isn’t it?” Sue said as she took a sip of wine with her crimson-stained lips.

“I think I better turn in for the night, I don’t think I could possibly drink another drop. Goodnight Sue.” I say as I slowly stand up out of my chair to head inside.

Sean doesn’t move in his seat. I turn towards him, “are you coming, love?”

“Yeah, sure. Let me finish this glass of wine and I’ll be right there.” Sean says as he grabs his glass, still full of that deep burgundy wine.

“Okay,” I sigh. “Don’t be long”.

I stroll through the apartment in a daze until I’m finally back in my room and heading for the closet. I slip out of my silk dress and inspect the shelves for my comfiest pajamas.

Something else catches my eye. There, on a hanger just next to the shelves is a pastel blue, lingerie set I recently bought. I’ve been wanting to surprise Sean with it but just haven't had the time to actually put it to good use.

Maybe now is the perfect time.

I suddenly have a fresh surge of energy and excitement as I make quick work of putting my new lingerie set on. Sean’s still not back yet, so I tip-toe over to the bed and slip under the crisp white covers, ready for the big reveal when he comes to bed.

I lay there waiting for a few minutes, my mind automatically jumping back to that damn bracelet on Sue’s wrist. Did he really go back to that store in Greece to purchase it for her, even though he knew how much I loved it? I need answers.

The bedroom door slowly creaks open as Sean peaks his head inside, looking straight at me on the bed under the covers.

“Hey, baby.” he says cheekily. He’s definitely tipsy.

“You gonna come in?” I ask from behind the duvet pulled up close to my neck.

Sean giggles and pushes the bedroom door completely open, almost stumbling in, landing hands first at the edge of our bed. He looks at me, laughs again and says, “Tonight was fun, huh?”

“It was.” I ruminate, “but there’s something I need to ask you.”

He’s so devilishly handsome and in such a playful mood. His eyes are almost burning for me as he starts to crawl towards me from the base of the bed.

“Yeah, baby?” he says, undressing his top half as he crawls closer on his knees now.

He pulls his shirt off and I’m at a loss for words. His broad shoulders are looming over me. My eyes move down his body, past his perfectly defined pecs.

My eyes continue to wonder to where his tailored pants are still sitting low on his hips, and I can make out the throbbing veins all moving in one direction; down. Getting blood to something alive and excited behind the fabric.

My pulse quickens as I imagine what’s waiting for me.

“You want me to take these off?” he almost whispers as he reaches for this trouser button to unfasten it.

Sean is looking at me like a predator looks at its prey, ready to feast.

Focus, Tammy! The bracelet.

“Sean, I saw the bracelet.” I blurt out. He’s taken aback by the sudden change of tone.

“What are you talking about, baby?” he says with a confused look on his face.

“The bracelet we saw in Greece. The gold one with the precious stones. The one I loved so much, that cost an insane amount of money. Remember? I saw it on Sue’s arm before dinner tonight.”

Sean sobered up slightly as he realized what I was talking about.

“That old thing? Tam, you didn’t want it. You said so.”

“I mean, I really loved it. I just couldn’t accept such an expensive gift! You know how I feel about that kind of thing.”

“I get it sweetheart, but I mean, if you didn’t want it, I thought maybe Sue would. And she loves it. She’s also been doing some amazing things at the company. We just signed a major brand deal for our next big project. The ROI is a projected three hundred and fifty percent! So why not get her something nice, you know?”

I take it all in. Sean kneels before me on the bed, so bloody sexy I could scream.

“Can I kiss you now?” He asks through raised eyebrows and wide, puppy dog eyes.

Fuck. I can’t stay mad at that face.

“You can do more than that…” I say as I slowly sit up and move the duvet off of me to reveal what I’ve been hiding.

His eyes immediately brighten and he bites his bottom lip, feasting on my adorned body.

“Damn, baby. You look incredible”. He moves closer until he’s on top of me, staring deeply into my eyes.

I can feel his bulge creating friction against my thong.

“Take these damn pants off right now.” I urge.

He uses one hand to quickly unbutton himself and remove whatever clothing was left on him. The warmth of his body gives me goosebumps all over.

He lowers his mouth onto the nape of my neck and starts gently kissing me, sending electric waves down through my body. My breath starts to quicken.

“I need you inside of me.” I whisper into his ear.

“Happy to oblige you, Mrs Saunders.” he practically growls back.

His hand caresses down the length of my body to my thong that’s now moist with excitement. He takes a finger and pulls the thin fabric to the side. I’m so ready to feel his warmth fill me.

“Are you ready for me?” He asks just as his mouth reaches for mine again.

Suddenly, there’s a scream from somewhere in the apartment that drains me of all thought.

Sean immediately jerks up and away from me, looking toward the scream.

The house goes completely still as the remnants of the horrific shrill lingers in the air.

“Sue?!” Sean jumps out of bed faster than I can gather any thoughts, pulls his pants back on in one flash of a motion and runs out of the bedroom door.

I can almost hear my heart beat filling the air of the bedroom as I’m left flustered and wanting. He’s deserted me for Sue.

How could this have happened again?
