#20 A possessive asshole
My lips touched Owen's lightly. I could tell that he was surprised at first, but then he gave in, kissing me back. His lips danced with mine in a tame and sweet rhythm, his tongue licking my lower lip, asking for entrance. Yet, I was well aware that most probably we weren't alone, making our kiss all more enjoyable for me.
Owen's kiss was nothing like Sebastian's fierce and savage kisses that left me out of breath and made my legs go weak. I couldn't understand what happened to the man who was caring and protective of me back in Greece, the man that gave me so many nights full of passion and pleasure. I couldn't believe he was the same person who was standing on my doorstep right now... How could he act like a cold-hearted billionaire that wanted nothing to do with me after what happened between us?
Sebastian cleared his throat and called my name, putting an end to that sweet kiss. Owen, surprised, let go of me, and we both turned to look at my Boss.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but last time I checked, this was an office," Sebastian said, a scowl plastered on his face.
"We aren't the only ones who should remember that from time to time, sir," I retorted, glaring back at him.
Sebastian crossed his arms and gave me a look that sent chills down my spine. Despite that, I tried to hold my ground, maintaining our eye contact.
"Evelyn, I must go back to the hospital, but I'll call you later…" Owen said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Okay, great!" I replied, finally turning to look at the red-haired man, grinning at him.
Owen pecked my lips lightly once again before nodding slightly at my Boss and leaving my office. Sebastian scrutinized Owen's every move and didn't stop glaring at the poor man. My Boss closed the door with a loud bang once the doctor was out of my office, making me jump on my place.
"Is there anything I can do for you, sir? Our next meeting starts in half an hour…" I said in my professional tone, ignoring the death glare that sent my way.
"Who was he?" Sebastian said through gritted teeth.
"I don't understand how this concerns you, sir."
My Boss closed the distance between us with two strides. He stood right in front of me, invading my personal space. I tried to instinctively take a step back, but Sebastian's hand grabbed my wrist, making me freeze in my place.
"You know I don't like repeating myself, Evelyn," he warned me.
Hearing his name fell from his lips made me blush a bit, but I reprimanded myself and tried to act composed.
"I don't recall asking the same question about all the whores you bring here daily…" I retorted, acting more bravely than I'd ever imagine.
A smirk plastered on his luscious lips, and all I wanted was to wipe it off. "You're jealous, aren't you?" he whispered, his thumb caressing my jawline.
I turned my head, avoiding his touch. "While clearly, you aren't jealous…" I countered back.
Sebastian's hand froze midair. He seemed shocked that I avoided his touch, and at the same time, defied him so openly. "No other man can please you the way I did, Evelyn. Never forget that…" he said in a husky voice, pulling me closer to him until my chest collided with his.
"I've had better," I managed to utter, mustering all the courage I had.
"You're a terrible liar. I bet no other man can make you scream as I did back in Greece. I bet you'd compare the way I plunged my cock into your tight cunt every time you let another man fuck you," he said, his breath fainting against my ear.
I really didn't like where all this was going. For the first time, I was afraid of my Boss, and I wanted to be as far away from him as possible. "Let go of me…" I breathed, trying to free myself.
"I'm sure you thought of the way I devoured your lips while you kissed that asshole."
"Sebastian, let me go!" I said, pushing his chest and wriggling my wrist in an attempt to break free from his grasp.
He pushed me back just enough to see my face. "You don't like it hard and rough now?"
My free hand acted on his own accord, landing a slap on his cheek. "I never was one of your whores, and I won't ever be. Now, back off because this might be considered as a sexual attack!"
"Oh, you quite enjoyed it when you rode me, not more than two months ago…"
"What we had is over, and it was obviously a mistake. Now, leave me alone before I start yelling," I warned my Boss, returning his glare.
The door burst open, and a smiling Nickolas appeared. The poor man froze in his place when he took in our current state.
"What the hell? Sebastian, just get the hell out of here," Nickolas yelled, coming towards our way.
"Stay out of it, brother," Sebastian spit the last word.
"Have you gone mad? You're hurting her!" the younger Leclair scowled, pulling Sebastian away from me.
"You know I'm damn right, Evelyn…" Sebastian hissed before storming out of my office.
A sigh escaped my lips, and I plopped on the sofa, rubbing my aching wrist; a bruise would form any time soon... I won't deny my sexual attraction for Sebastian since the day I saw him. But it wasn't more than a carnal urge until I had sex with him. During our trip, he was the carrying boyfriend, the perfect gentleman, and an excellent lover. Now, he was an asshole that I wanted nothing more but to forget about.
Yet, that stupid heart that kept pounding inside my chest yearned to be close to him. And a little voice in my head kept repeating to me that it won't be easy to forget him. Not when I'd be holding a part of him in my arms in less than seven months…
"Evelyn, are you alright, darling?" Nickolas' calm voice snapped me out of my reverie.
I nodded, not having enough strength to mutter a word.
"What happened? Why did he act like that all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, Nick. Please let go of it…" I whispered, a few stray tears rolling down my cheeks.
"You do, but you don't want to say, darling. Please, I must know so that I can help you find a way out of this…"
"I had a date with a doctor I met at the hospital the other day. Owen escorted me here, and Sebastian caught us kissing. Then he almost kicked the poor man out and started acting all possessive and jealous of me…" I blurted out.
"Is that all, Evelyn?" he asked, contemplating my words for a few seconds.
I nodded, fidgeting with the hem of my dress.
"What happened in Greece, darling?" Nickolas inquired, making me freeze on my spot.
I bit my lower lip, avoiding his stare. "Nothing happened, Nick…" I replied in a small voice.
"I may not be on the best terms with my brother, darling, but I know that he's been different around you. Believe me, for the past two years, he doesn't give a shit about the women he screws, yet you literally drive him crazy…" Nickolas stated.
"He definitely has a lovely way to show it…"
"His heart was broken, and he swore not to fall in love again. I'm not sure whether he loves you or just has an irresistible attraction for you, but you have him wrapped around your little finger."
"I don't want that, Nick. I don't deserve to be treated like that. And certainly, I can't help him decide what he wants; that's something he must do on his own…" I sighed, suddenly very tired of all this.
"He's very stubborn to see that, but please don't provoke him, too."
"You're right; I can't keep going like this. I'll just quit my job!" I announced. The idea seemed to be right. I'd have to do it sooner or later, but I couldn't let Sebastian keep treating me like this.
"What, no! Don't say such nonsense, Evelyn!" Nickolas exclaimed.
"Nonsense? That was sexual harassment, Nick. I can't just let him act the way he pleases. I have feelings, too, and I was quite understanding up until now…"
"You're right, but please don't quit. Give me a week, I'll find another secretary for him, and you can be my assistant…" Nickolas suggested, giving me a pleading look.
I thought about his words for a few moments, but I couldn't deny his offer. "Okay, but just one more week," I replied eventually.
He smiled, relieved with my answer, and we walked into the meeting room together.
The next two days passed by without Sebastian harassing me again. He acted like I was a ghost and only talked to me when he wanted something. However, my Boss gave me many tasks to complete, even though some of them were beyond my responsibilities. Practically, he made sure not to leave me any free time during my office hours. That was more than fine by me, considering I didn't have to deal with his hideous behavior ever again.
My morning sickness was back, adding to all the exhaustion these endless errands put me into. The only thing giving me some hope was the appointment Naomi had arranged for Saturday morning. This was one more reason to look forward to the weekend.
A mix of nervousness and excitement filled me during the ride to the hospital. I was more than happy to finally see my baby on the ultrasound, but at the same time, I was scared that something might have been wrong with my pregnancy.
I followed the signs towards the department I had to go to. A lovely nurse asked me some questions and took another blood sample before she appointed me into an office. A smile appeared on my face when I saw Naomi already there.
"I'm happy to see you again, Evelyn. How are you?" my cardiologist asked, giving me a warm hug.
"I'm good. Although my morning sickness gives me a hard time…" I muttered, stealing a glance at the other doctor present.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Miss Russell. Dr. Sloan told us a lot about her favorite patient," the man said, giving me a polite smile.
"Thank you, sir. I'm grateful for seeing me on such short notice," I replied politely.
"Dr. Hunt is the head doctor of the Gynecologist and Obstetrician department in our hospital. He had another patient like you in the past, so I'm sure he's the right doctor to treat you, Evelyn," Naomi explained to me.
"Oh, that's a relief to hear. I figured that my case isn't that common…"
"Everything will be alright, Miss Russell. Please, you can go change in the other room, and we'll start as soon as Dr. McWaters joins us," Dr. Hunt said.
I complied with his request and changed in the other room, wearing the plain blue medical robe. Not long after I was done, the three doctors walked inside the room, my eyes instantly landing on the red-haired man.
Owen looked at me with wide eyes, causing a small gasp to escape my lips…
