Holt's Holding part two (The Holt's Series) (21 page)

Looking down South High Street, there were a few more small
restaurants and patrons coming and going. My eyes landed on what looked to be
Charlie. He was with a tall brunette woman. She was stunning and wrapped up
into his hold. I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I should have known. Last
night was indeed a one night stand for him. Looking to the Valet, I stepped to
my car looking one more time in his direction. To my surprise, his eyes seemed
to catch me. I stood locked in his direction. Without any control, I shook my
head at him, closed my eyes trying to erase the sight from my memory, and
stepped into my car.

I knew better than to have allowed myself to hope for
something that he was not capable of. I was the fool.

In my car, I knew I could only drive in one direction
forcing me to drive by him and his newest conquest.

My frustration and hurt pride was rearing its ugly head. I
now needed a distraction from emotions, I had no idea what to do with.
 
I pulled past him, unable to even look his
way.

Before I knew it, the decision to head to power plant live
was formed and I parked in the garage.

Walking past security and straight for mosaic. I needed to
forget him and move on. Walking in, I said my hellos to those I knew as I came
here often. Reaching the bar, Corey my favorite bartender and good friend from
high school was quick to my rescue.

Drunk was definitely on the menu tonight. My heart felt
like it just got flushed down the toilet and I needed retribution. Hands around
my waist, yes he would do. I had seen him around and he would offer a good time
on the dance floor.

Taking another shot, I let him lead the way.

His hands ever so cleverly placed, there was no way he was
good enough to seduce me. However, a few inappropriate dances sure, I could
allow for.

I wanted my mind to just turn off. But it was Charlie
haunting my thoughts. The music was indeed seductive but just not doing it for
me.

My stranger’s lips now hitting and desperate on my neck, he
was too eager for my liking. Trying to break from him, he looked very
displeased. I reached and grabbed him hard.

“You would be best if you knew when to back off.” I spit
out.

“Damn, talk about sending the wrong signals sweetheart.”
 
He looked frustrated and more than pissed
off.

Another voice quickly pulled his attention.

“I think the lady made herself clear.” Sebastian offered in
a very intimidating voice.

Looking to him, I was shocked to see him.

“May intrude?”
 
He
smiled raising a brow.

“Why not” I grinned

“You’re drunk.” He offered as he pulled me into his body.

“Aren’t you a smart one?”

“Lilly, I think you were a little close to getting yourself
into something unbecoming you.”

“You don’t say,” I shook my head “Perhaps that was the
point Sebastian.”

“What has you so ruffled this evening Lillian. Could it be
Charlie?” he grinned.

“And what would you know of that Sebastian?”

“Everything Lillian. I think you know that as well.”

Looking up to him, I wasn’t real sure what his game was.

“I’m sensing the wager between the two of you hasn’t been
taken off the table.”

“Now who’s the smart one?” he offered grinning, a very
dangerous grin.

“So tell me Sebastian, how do you plan to seduce me?”

“Unlike Charlie, I take my time Lillian.” He raised his
expression.

Game on.

This was the distraction I was in search of.

“Are you sure you want to travel down this road?” I bit my
lower lip applying the same question to myself. This was a slippery slope and I
knew it. Two brothers and me…this would not end well if I walked this path.
Pushing me hard into his firm body his lips were quick as his took my lower lip
into his mouth. Oh, shit the tremble and anxiety sparked like a match thru me.

“NO!” was quickly voiced as I pulled from his hold. “No,
I’m not playing this game with you or him. I want nothing to do with this. I’m
not a toy to be played with. The two of you are fucked up and I want nothing to
do with this. I now understand your father’s words. The two of you truly aren’t
good enough for me and I’m not some dumb ass ho willing to play this game.”

I pulled from him and managed my way to the bar. Signaling
Corey, I paid my tab.

Funny as soon as I turned, there stood Charlie.
 
Sebastian mere feet from us and his head
cocked looking to Charlie. The anger boiling over, I slapped Charlie as hard as
I could manage.

“You two have no right. Go to fucking hell.”

I shot past him and made my way thru the crowds.

Steve, a security guard that I had made friends with caught
me noticing my stress.

“Lilly, are you ok?” he looked down to me.

I smiled shaking my head. “Is it too much to ask for
normal?” I laughed

“What is normal but an opinion Lilly” he smiled. “Let me
walk you to your car.”

“Thanks”

He put an arm around me and advised the rest of his team
where he was heading.

Once at my car Steve jumped in and I pulled out. I circled
around and dropped him off at the front of Power Plant. I needed to get home.

Pulling through the city, on my way home, I couldn’t get
over the anger I felt. They thought I was a game, something they could play
with. I wasn’t about to engage in such play.

I pulled to the house, jumping out of my car and slamming
the door. In my house, I pulled my shoes off and leaving them in the foyer. I
was still reeling and very pissed off.

My phone rang. Looking at the number, I didn’t recognize
it, which meant it, was probably Charlie or worse, Sebastian.

Can you say ignore? I hit the decline button and sent the
caller to voice mail.

The phone rang almost immediately. Again, I hit decline.

After the fourth call, I was annoyed.

I answered.

“What the fuck do you want?”

“Don’t hang up!” Charlie

“You have three seconds. Make it quick.”

“Are you home?”

“Yes dumb ass.”

“Thank god. You shouldn’t have driven Lilly,”

I cut him off “Seriously? Fuck off Charlie.”

I hung up the phone. Looking at it, he called again. I
didn’t want to talk to him. I turned the phone off.

Pulling the tequila from the cabinet, I was going to get
even more drunk, now that I knew I could.

Grabbing a rocks glass and the entire bottle, I went to the
patio.

I lit the fire pit and made myself comfortable on the
lounge drink in hand.

I couldn’t get over those two. It seems I was so wrong. I
ordered Henry to start a play list from my iTunes library. I walked back to the
house, reached for a blanket, and made my way back outside to my lounge.

Pouring another drink that I didn’t need. I was more than
wasted. Nevertheless, did I care? No, that was the point. I needed to just pass
out and the alcohol would do just that. My mind and emotions on overload.
 
How dumb could I be?

I had no idea when I finally passed out.

Waking up, I was shocked to find myself in my bed?

Sucking in a deep breath…shit, I was going to throw up.

Racing for the bathroom and hugging the toilet, I emptied
my stomach.

 
Shit.

Shaking my head, I stood up and went to brush my teeth. My
head was throbbing and I was feeling the punishment of too much alcohol. I felt
like death was at my doorstep.

Walking from the bedroom to the kitchen, I need to put
something in my stomach.
 
I knew I had
another round of making an intimate relationship with the toilet.

Crap, I looked to the French doors, I had left them open.

Moving slowly, I made it to the kitchen and went straight
for the fridge. Pulling a bottled water out and sucking it down. I was so
dehydrated.

Turning from the fridge, I dropped my water to the floor.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Charlie was standing in
my kitchen and making something in the blender. The moment he turned it on, I
thought my head was about to explode. “Dear lord turn that off,” I ordered.

“You’ll thank me later.”

He finished making whatever he was and walked over with it
in a tall glass. He offered it to me.

“Drink it,” he ordered. I took it from him glaring up at
him.

I took it fully down. Oh, gross. What the hell was this?

“This is disgusting.”

“Yes, but it will make you feel better.”

Looking up at him “How the fuck did you get in? and why are
you here? Did I not make myself clear last night?”

“Oh you did, you have quite the hand. I’ll give you that
much. I’m here because I was worried about you.”

“Well, I’m not your concern Charlie. Where’s your
brunette?”

“I thought I saw you.” he grinned

“Charlie…just leave, you weren’t invited nor needed here.”
I put the now empty glass down and walked out from the kitchen.

Headed towards my bedroom, I pealed my dress off not caring
that he was here to witness. Stripping fully, I made it into my shower. The
water, hot and needed. I just wanted to wash last night away.

Turning, he was leaned against the vanity in my bathroom.

Washing my hair, I couldn’t get over his audacity to stay.

“Why are you still here?” I yelled over the water.

“I’m rather enjoying the view,” he offered with that grin
on his face. “Can you blame me?”

I just glared and shook my head at him. What an ass. He was
one cocky son of a bitch.

Finishing, I opened the shower door and wrapped myself in a
towel. He still held that ridiculous grin on his face.

“Again, why are you here Charlie?”

Cocking his head to the side, it looked like he was forming
an answer. Dear lord help me with this one.

“I’m checking in on my investment,” he offered.

“What the fuck does that mean?” I stopped in front of him.

“I noticed you didn’t take the pill,” he added smugly.

Shit, I had forgotten about the pill and now it was too
late to take it.

“Fuck me.” I breathed.

“I did that already and well from what I remember.” He
smirked.

“Don’t bloat your head Charlie. You’re not the only man
who’s fucked me and well as you put it.” I added walking to the vanity sink and
pulling my toothbrush for the second time this morning. “Hell, based on last
night, I could have brought Sebastian home and I’m sure he aims to please.” It
was a low blow, but I didn’t care.

“You could have brought a number of men home with you last
night, but it would have been me, you thought of.”

Unfortunately, he was right. It would have been nothing
more than a replacement for him. I was in trouble. I was so wrapped up in him,
that I knew he would hurt me.

Brushing my teeth, my eyes never left sight of him. He
walked behind me as I watched him from the mirror. Standing directly behind me,
I had no idea what he was up to. I proceeded to brush my teeth ignoring him.

His hands gripped my towel around my hips. Catching his
gaze in the mirror, I could sense it in his eyes. His hands, dropping to my
thighs and lifting the towel exposing me. Wow, he was brassy. Gripping the
counter of the vanity, I spit the contents of the toothpaste out of my mouth.

He was that quick and penetrated my center. Pushing me into
the counter. Too shocked, I braced myself to his thrust. Oh god, his intrusion
was wanted. My body was quick to accept him and betrayed my resolve.

Each thrust, broke my resolve further, and my climax was
well underway.
 
I couldn’t hold out much
more and finally succumb to him fully.

Breaking my hold of the vanity, I rose up and into him. My
head on his chest and my hips circling into him, taking him deeper.

He was close to being done, and I could feel that final
tension as he released his orgasm fully and deep into me. It was like a
branding. My body wanted his and there was no denying it. He was my drug.
Moreover, I was addicted.

Opening my eyes, I caught his grin in the mirror.

“Like I said, it would be me you thought of.”

He was right.

Pulling from me slow, I was sore and deliciously so.

Slighting my head, his lips were on my neck and his eyes
locked to mine in the mirror.

“You can leave now.” I offered in a smug tone.

“Are you sure you want me to?”
