A moment later he pulled back, but his hand still remained on her breast as he tweaked her aroused nipple.
"Why do you always do that?" she asked, dazed.
"Do what?"
"Surprise me." She leaned back.
"Like this?"
"Like wh—whoa!"
In one swift motion, Sebastian wrapped his arms around her waist and then used his legs to push them both down the huge slide. Soon she was slipping down the yellow plastic while in his arms. By the time she skidded to a stop at the bottom, she was stiff from shock. Even Sebastian, the orchestrator of the impish deed, looked concerned.
"You okay?" He waved his hand in front of her face. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that, what with you being pregnant and everything."
She blinked in surprise, and then, to her own shock, began to laugh. The merriment was the kind that she felt deep in her very soul. She hadn't laughed like that in such a long time that the amount of joy she felt during that moment was a surprise even to her.
For a moment Sebastian just stared as if she was nuts—and maybe she was—but then he threw back his head and laughed too. Soon the sound of happiness was all that filled the park, and for the first time, she realized that she might just have to marry Sebastian after all.

Two hours later, Sebastian walked Emmy back to her apartment instead of the bakery. She probably should have gone to work, but she had sand in her bra and felt dirty all over. Playing in a park was all well and good until a woman got in the car and realized that she had two tons worth of sand stuck in her hair. Still, she didn't regret rolling around with Sebastian like some sort of little kid.
That was why, as she reached her apartment, she turned around still grinning. Unfortunately, her grin faded the moment she saw the lustful hunger in Sebastian's eyes. He was going to kiss her and possibly much, much more. Despite the fact that she enjoyed his touch, nervousness attacked even at the thought of his fingers running all over her body. Maybe it was because it had been so long since she'd dated someone.
"Sebastian," she said, swaying nervously.
"Uh-huh." The guy's gaze lingered on her mouth.
"Thank you for today."
He nodded, but he didn't move. But then again, she wasn't exactly unlocking her apartment door either. Instead the two of them just stared into each other's eyes.
Sebastian was the first one to charge. He placed his hand behind her head, trapping her against the door. He reminded her of a hungry predator, prepared to devour her. The man drew nearer, and she could do nothing but stare deep into his eyes. Though she tried to keep her wits about her, the moment he kissed her, her brain turned to mush. All she could think about was the warmth of his lips on hers and the way he pressed his hips against her own. Even though he'd initiated the embrace, she could feel his aroused cock pushing into her abdomen, alerting her of his desire. He snuck his fingers into her hair, holding her head steady as he took her mouth.
"Sebastian," she groaned against his lips.
Her groan was all that Sebastian needed in order to continue his powerful seduction. After the man speared her mouth with his tongue, he maneuvered her so that her back was against the wall. His hard chest burrowed against her soft one, and he explored her body. He only stopped touching her once he reached her quivering bosom. The man massaged her breasts through her clothes, causing her nipples to harden. Her need only drove him wilder, and he broke free from her mouth and trailed kisses down her soft throat. He came to a pause at the hem of her shirt and peered down at her breasts with hunger in his dark eyes. As he continued to tempt her, she groaned, certain that she was going to float above her body. In response, Sebastian chuckled and traced her hard nipple with his finger. As her breast heaved, his eyes grew dark and lusty at the sight of her obvious desire.
"You like this, don't you?" Sebastian licked his lips.
"Uh-huh." She gasped in pleasure.
The man gazed at her apartment door. "Do you want more?"
"Yes," she said, her own answer surprising her.
"Then let me come in and make love to you," he said.
In her own nervous stupidity, she said, "But I have to take a shower."
"Oh, sweetheart, once I'm inside, we both can take a shower." His grin was wicked.
A chill ran down her spine, but she shocked herself yet again by nodding.
Shaking from her own desperation, Emmy unlocked her apartment door. She stumbled inside, and Sebastian followed her in, already pressing hot kisses against the back of her neck. With a grunt, he scooped her up and captured her mouth with a kiss. As she melted against him, he tightened his arms around her waist, holding her close. Unfortunately, that was when he stopped devouring her neck.
