The two men stared at each other like caged animals. I decided to step in. "This is not the place for this!" I hissed in a low voice. The stern tone seemed to snap them out of their testosterone induced standoff. "Ethan, just go. Go find Vivienne." He was visibly shocked when I mentioned her name. Yes, I know something is going on there. He didn't question my knowing look. He just sauntered off.
Joshua turned his fiery gaze toward me.
"I told you not to encourage him Sarah!" He tried to remain composed as the veins in his neck strained to be free. I turned to him with an apologetic look and was going to try to explain that it was Ethan who was inappropriate with me, when I heard someone tap a microphone.
"Attention! Attention everyone!" I heard Jake's voice. "I would like to ask my brother to come join me on stage." It was near the end of the night so I assumed they were going to give a speech to Bunny.
Joshua looked torn between reprimanding me and going to fulfill his familial obligation. I could see the angst on his face as he started to walk away. "I'll be back." His gruff tone left no doubt that he was serious.
"Ah, here he is." Joshua joined Jake on stage at the front of the room. "We would like to thank everyone for coming tonight to celebrate our beautiful mother’s birthday."
I could see Joshua trying to compose himself as he sought me out in the crowd and prepared to speak. He looked a bit distracted but was able to pull it together in time for his portion of their speech. As they continued speaking, I felt a hand on my waist. I quickly turned to see Ethan at my side.
"Go away Ethan." I was getting bored with his antics.
"I didn't want to be rude and not say goodbye before I left." His fingers grazed my backside and I immediately lashed out. I reached behind my back and grabbed his hand giving his wrist hard twist. He quickly snatched it away, chuckling as he shook his wrist. "Fiery, I like that!" His warm breath in my ear did nothing but make me want Joshua by my side. I rolled my eyes at him, ignoring him.
"Oh, you think you're too good for me? That you're better than me?" His tone turned nasty.
I held his gaze and gave him a withering look. "That's the difference between you and me Ethan. I don't think I'm better than anyone." I turned my attention back to Joshua up on stage only to see his icy stare fixed on me. Great.
"Hmmm, he's watching you like a hawk. You must have cast a spell on him." He ran a finger down my bare shoulder and I flinched away from him. I turned to see Joshua glaring right at us and chills ran down my body.
"I will bid you adieu for now my sweet. Until we meet again." He then leaned in close and planted a quick kiss on my cheek, just as Joshua and Jake finished their speech.
Joshua strode toward me, his face like stone as he held my elbow and steered me through the crowd. "You should say goodnight to mother." His voice was firm and I didn't protest. I just allowed him to guide me across the room toward Bunny.
"Bunny, I wanted to come say goodnight. Your party was wonderful. I hope you had a nice birthday." I did my best to give her a genuine smile as the knots were tightening in my stomach.
"I had a wonderful birthday dear. Thank you so much for being here." Bunny gave me a hug and smile as she said goodnight.
Joshua kissed his mother goodnight and then turned his icy gaze on me. "Let's go."
CHAPTER 8
He walked out of the ballroom, down a long hall and then outside. I walked behind him not daring to speak, wondering where we were going. We walked to the guesthouse that was on the opposite side of the property. Joshua unlocked the door and as soon as we stepped inside he locked it behind us.
He turned to face me and I definitely saw hurt in his eyes which then quickly turned to desire. He reached out to caress my cheek as he entwined his fingers in my hair and slowly pulled me to him for a sensual kiss. He did nothing but kiss me for a full minute. My arms reached up around his neck as I let out a soft moan. This is so perfect. You are so perfect. His hand trailed along my neck down over my shoulder to my hand where we intertwined fingers. Joshua brought our hands behind his back and slowly let go as my hand stayed around his waist. His lips lightly trailed along my neck as both of his hands moved down over my hips. He turned me around, unzipped my dress and it fell to the floor and I stepped out of it. I stood there wearing nothing but a thong, thigh high stockings and heels. No bra with the strapless dress tonight.
I felt Joshua behind me and he let out a soft groan as his hands came around and cupped my br**sts. He pressed his body against me and I could feel his hard length through the fabric of his pants in between my cheeks. His lips pressed against my neck as I leaned back against him. I was basking in my bliss when he suddenly spun me around and pressed me against the wall. Fire flickered across his eyes. Why is he suddenly upset?
"Did you enjoy having Ethan's hands touching your body?" He ground out the words as his fingers lightly pinched my ni**les. The sensation sent tingles shooting throughout my body and I could feel the wetness between my legs soaking my panties.
"No sir."
His hand slid between my thighs and his fingers grazed the outside of my panties. My breath caught as he traced the edge of my panties between my legs.
"Spread your legs." The words were not a request. I widened my stance and he slipped a finger inside my panties lightly rubbing my clit. My belly tightened as I grab his arms and let out a loud moan.
"Did you like his hands on your ass?" He pulled off my panties and I quickly stepped out of them. His fingers began to probe my core and I could not stand still.
"No sir." The words struggled to get out as my body quivered at his touch, my breath now coming in pants.
"I am the only man allowed to have you. No other man can touch you, do you understand?" His fingers delved in between my folds and a finger pressed inside my tender opening. My body quaked as it reveled in the sensation provoked by his fingers.
"Yes, I understand." I could barely speak as I tried to catch my breath, my fingers now digging into his arms as I struggled to remain standing. He slid another finger inside me, manipulating my inner walls. I bucked against his fingers, my body writhing against the wall.
