It was nearly midnight when the Friday night crush was over, and it was spooky, standing by the bus stop. Ruth shivered a little, standing there in her light waitress uniform. There was a big, bright full moon. She felt conspicuous and vulnerable. It would have been more sensible to change into my jeans, she thought. She could imagine a car full of men stopping and kidnapping her.Finally, her bus came into sight, groaned and sneezed to a stop, and she got on, got into the warm security of the dark steel box with the familiar smells, body odor, diesel fumes, stale perfume, and she could see a few familiar forms of passengers stolid in their seats. In the anonymity of the dark bus, humming slowly through the darkened streets, she finally felt more secure. No one was staring at her. No one was threatening her.When Ruth got home, Mrs. Pronko had left the newspaper by her door. The headline read, "Student Found Dead." Ruth hurried inside, locked the door, and read all about it. A student
The sky was turning dark as a storm was gathering, Serena felt a sprinkle of raindrops falling on her tear stained face as she stood by her father's grave.A letter from Sebastian Contè the CEO of Él Contè Investment Company lay crumpled into a ball in her hand, this paper was the reason why her father had a massive heart attack, the reason he was dead and buried.The letter stated that Sebastian was calling in the loan her father had taken out to keep his ranch running, and not being able to make the payment as at due date, Sebastian sent his men to close down and burn the ranch.This broke Serena's father and his will to live, the ranch was his only businesses, the source of his income which he uses to take care and support himself and Serena who would be graduating from college.Serena was left homeless with little money to live on, she had no relative, her mother died when she was in labour rooom, and the only person she had just died because of the cold heartless Sebastian.The t
"How long will you be staying with us miss?" The woman behind the counter asked, giving Serena a friendly smile."Uhm, iam not sure yet, few days I guess or maybe less....." Serena said, smiling back at the woman, ".... Could you tell me if Mr Sebastian Contè will be dining here anytime soon?" She asked, looking directly into her eyes."Mr Sebastian dines here every Tuesday and Friday evening, are you a friend of his miss?" The female staff asked, looking Serena over.Serena saw the woman was checking her out, she knew she did not in any way look like she belong in a place as fancy as this, talk more of asking about the popular old billionaire in New York, but she shook off the feeling and looked at the woman, " Yes, in a manner of speaking"She turned and headed towards the elevator, after being shown her room Serena explored it, never had she stayed in such a beautiful room, the carpet was so thick and soft under her now bare feet, a large window showed the view of the street below.
Once they were both seated a waiter came over and poured them each a glass of champagne leaving the bottle on the table.She waited while he made a call, from the look of their conversation it sounds like he was breaking a date."Something came up, let's get together another time, I will call you" he said to the person on the other end of the line as he gives Serena a smile.Serena took a sip of her champagne, and smiled back at him."So tell me Miss Serena, what is such a beautiful woman as yourself doing here alone""Please call me Serena" she said, almost Rolling her eyes, instead she gave him a small smile."Only if you will call me Sebastian" he replied."That is no big deal, well Sebastian iam here on a vacation, I have heard a lot about this hotel here in New York and always wanted to come""You came all the way down to New York alone? It is not safe for a young woman to travel unaccompanied" he said, and sat back to study her face, trying to read her."A friend was going to jo
Meanwhile Sebastiant thought in the meantime he would enjoy getting to know Serena and into his bed, she may well prove to be entertaining in and out of bed, she was way young and fresh, there was fire and passion in those green eyes of hers. Lately he has been getting so bored with all the women he knew, they were boring as shit in bed as well as outside the bedroom, he wanted someone with fire, someone with passion and Serena might just be the one to bring him to a whole new height of sexual satisfaction.Sebastian entered the penthouse he rented earlier since he usually have a woman spend the night with him whenever he dine in his favorite hotel, but meeting Serena he cancelled his date and now he sat alone in his bedroom with a scotch in his hand.As he looked out he window he became restless and now wished he had brought Serena with him, the way she ran her long painted finger nails along her cleavage bringing his attention to her breast had aroused him.Sebastian could picture
Her legs were long and shapely and she wore high heels which added more contour to them, the chain she wore drew attention to her neck, a neck Sebastian now which he was kissing."All in good time" he thought to himself.Smiling at her, he walked over and pull out her chair, " you look lovely tonight" he said, pushing her chair in, he got a whiff of her perfume, it was a scent he found to be very alluring and he lingered over her longer than was necessary.He looked down at her neck, he had a thing for neck, loved the feel of them against his lips whenever he kiss one, and her neck he thought was more lovely than any other.Serena heart skipped a beat when she walked into the dining room and saw Sebastian standing close to the window, arms folded into each other looking out, he appeared to be in deep thoughts when he stood, he looked so different instead of wearing an expensive tailored suit he was on a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt under a jacket, it made him look more approachab
Their first stop was to the oversized pool."I like to take a swim every night before going to bed, it help to keep me in shape, I would like if you could join me""I didn't bring a suit" she answered."Who says you need a suit" he said with a sly smile, making her blush.He then showed her his stable where several of his finest breed live in the lap of luxury, well fed and pampered.Serena started patting one of the horses, " they are beautiful" she said smiling.Sebastian moved closer, " this guy is my favorite, I ride him all the time, too bad you can't ride a horse, we could have gone riding together"This statement angered Serena, how dare he assume she couldn't? She would not balme him since he never knew the owner of the stable back at Texas who he killed was her father, " I do know how to ride" she said irritably."You do?" Sebastian asked in a condensing time."Yes" she said, annoyed with his remark and the tone he used."Okay then, tomorrow we will go riding, and I will show
Sebastian choose not to answer as he got up and walk over to where she stood, taking the book from her he read the title, his eyes narrowed when he look into hers, " Erotic romance? that is some pretty heavy reading, wouldn't you rather pick a light romance novel, might be much more better"His comment angered her, she grabbed the book back from him, " what the hell is that supposed to mean?" She snapped at him, " Are you not use to being around women who can read anything they want to? Or do I look like a kid to you?"Sebastian did not like it when he is being talked to that way, backing her into the wall of the shelf he placed his hand on either sides of her, trapping her between him and shelf, " Who are you?" He asked, his eyes going to her slightly parted lips.He had no shirt on and when he leaned in closer Serena felt the room spinning, his aftershave was quite alluring and her eyes were glued to his muscular chest, it was hairless, smooth.Her body began to tremble when he drew
