Honestly, when my mum had told me stories of booting horny couples out of study rooms or quiet corners of the library, I’d wrinkled my nose in disgust. Who would have sex in a library? A library was to be respected and the people who were there using it to further their education were to be respected.
Yet I did not think any of those things as I opened my thighs, welcoming Sebastian between them. Truthfully, I couldn’t think beyond how much I wanted him. He seemed to release some kind of magical pheromone that made me instantly needy.
He gripped my hips, pulling me against him so I could feel how much he wanted me too. “Lily, Lily …” His voice was hoarse around my name. Then his lips brushed my throat, and my head fell back on a gasp. Who would have thought the mere feathery caress of his mouth would elicit such a deliciously shivery reaction?
“You smell incredible,” he murmured as he kissed beneath my chin. “You are incredible. You’re all I can think about.”
“Sebastian,” I moaned, my fingers digging into his back, pulling him closer.
“I love the way you say my name. I want to hear you say it as you come.” Hot determination glinted in his beautiful blue-green eyes and his hand slipped between my thighs. At the tug of the zipper on my jeans, tingles exploded to life right where I hoped he was aiming to explore.
A loud knocking lingered on the periphery of my awareness, but Sebastian’s fingers were dipping beneath my underwear so—
“Lily Sawyer, this is your mother!”
Her voice was an icy shower of reality blasting over us both. We froze, eyes wide, and the heat of foggy lust dissipated.
Oh my goodness, was I actually about to have sex in the library?
“Lily!”
“Coming!”
Sebastian’s lips trembled with disgruntled laughter. “Well, you were about to.”
“Get off me,” I hissed, swatting his hand out of my jeans.
His broad shoulders shook with amusement as he moved away while I zipped up my jeans. Sebastian murmured, “Granny naked. Granny naked in a shower with English. Granny naked in a shower with English.” He shuddered in revulsion. “That’ll do it.”
At my mum’s insistent knocking, I threw my boyfriend a harried look before unlocking the study room.
Mum had her arms crossed over her chest as she glanced from me to Sebastian who stood behind me. Her expression was one I knew well from my childhood—unamused and trying not to lose her shit.
“Hi, Mum,” I squeaked out. “What’s up?”
She pressed her lips together and Sebastian took that opportunity to place his hands on my shoulders in support. “Nice to see you again, Mrs. Sawyer.”
She didn’t tell him to call her Liv this time. Instead, she glowered at his hands.
“Stop touching me.” I shook him off.
I heard him try to cover a snort of laughter.
Mum grimaced. “Isn’t this the highlight of my career? Who would have thought the first time I kicked a pair of horny students out of a study room that one day one of them would be my own kid?”
“Mum, we were—”
“I don’t want to know.”
Stupidly, I asked, “How did you know Sebastian was here?”
“I was coming to bring you a coffee.” She raised her hand, and I noted the coffee cup in it and felt even more guilty. “And I saw your boyfriend scurry in here with ill intent.”
“My intentions toward your daughter are in fact honor—”
“Sex with someone’s daughter will always be considered as ill-intended by said parent. Do you understand?” Mum glared at him. “Even more so in my library. Now, usually I have a pretty good sense of humor about these things, but Lily is my baby girl, and I’d quite like to maim you with a letter opener.”
Oh boy.
“I can assure you, I wasn’t here to—”
“Don’t lie to me. Please. It’ll only make it worse. Just leave.”
My belly swooped at the unpleasant altercation. Sure, I half expected this was how it would be with Dad, but Mum was always so laid back with my boyfriends.
Then again, I’d never tried to have sex with one of them at her place of work.
I grimaced, my cheeks burning hot.
Sebastian sighed at my back and then stepped around me. He had the gall to cup my face tenderly in front of Mum. His expression told me not to worry. Then he brushed his mouth over mine in a gentle promise before releasing me to leave.
However, he halted at Mum’s side before departing. “I love Lily, Mrs. Sawyer. My intentions really are honorable.”
Mum softened infinitesimally and she let out a long sigh. “I know. I can see that. I think I saw that before you saw it. And we’ll be fine. Just don’t do this again.” She gestured in a vague way to our surroundings.
“Of course.” Sebastian threw me another reassuring smirk and then walked away. He was almost around the corner when he glanced back. Even from a distance I could read the hot promise in his expression.
