The Affair

Summary: Sebastian meets Kathryn's boyfriend but later has trouble staying away from her.

Chapter 3: Twice In One Week

"Excuse me?" Sebastian asked slack jawed as he bolted up right in the bed.

Kathryn rolled her eyes as she climbed out of bed and grabbed her dress. "You heard me" she sighed "my boyfriend. He called from the car he should be here any minute."

Sebastian was still digesting this new information as Kathryn scurried around his bedroom looking for her clothes. "You never told me you were seeing anyone."

"You never asked " she told him matter of factly. Kathryn stopped what she was doing momentarily and looked at his dumbstruck expression "what?"

"Nothing...I'm just processing the fact that I just fucked some other guys girlfriend."

She snickered "well it's hardly the first time. Where the fuck is my other shoe?"

Getting up Sebastian pulled Kathryn up from the floor to face him. "Will you stop, I'm trying to talk to you."

Kathryn yanked her arm away and stood up "then talk."

If Sebastian had been paying closer attention he might of noticed that Kathryn was purposely trying to avoid having this talk. When she decided to come to the party she in no way, shape or form intended on ending up in bed with the soon to be groomsmen. It wasn't like she never thought or wondered what Sebastian would be like in bed. However that was in the past. She had moved on with her life and she was well aware he had done the same. Their relationship if you could call it that, was a can of worms she didn't want to open, but obviously it was a little too late for that.

"Look" he explained as he got up and put his boxers back on "I didn't plan for this to happen. I mean never in a million years did I expect this..."

"Is this going anywhere?" Kathryn asked with her back to him.

"I'm marrying her Kathryn" Sebastian told her in one breath.

She didn't turn around at first only closed her eyes and wished to god she had a drink of some sort in front of her. Finally she turned around and said "of course you are. This doesn't change anything, why should it?"

Sebastian nodded dully "right just chalk it up to...sexual tension and now it's gone so..."

"There's no reason for it to ever happen again" she finished for him.

"Absolutely and no reason for anyone to ever find out about it."

Kathryn rolled her eyes at him as she walked past him to get her lost shoe "oh don't get your panties in a twist Sebastian, I'm not going to blab to the little misses."

"Good because if she finds out-"

"Then we'll both be fucked" she told him as she spun around to face him. "Christian is most definitely the jealous type and if he finds out I screwed around on him...well let's just say you probably won't live long enough to marry the little virgin."

Sebastian was hardly worried but he was damn curious. "Why is this guy in the mob?" He meant it as a joke but when Kathryn purposely avoided his eyes as she walked back over to the bed it wasn't so funny. "Kathryn what the fuck?"

She sighed "lets just say Christian is a very rich man with a lot of power. Best not to give him a reason to go off."

"Great" Sebastian sighed rolling his eyes "why would you go out with someone like that to begin with?"

Kathryn stood up so they were at eye level and not for the first time that night recalled why she had fallen for him all those years ago. With a coy smile she asked "why are you jealous?"

"Of course not" he said "I don't care who you waste your time on."

She smiled leaning in closer to him "liar." Sebastian couldn't help but smile back at her but there was no way he would admit the truth. A part of him did envy this Christian guy because he got to have her.

Kathryn let her nose press against his and considered giving him one last kiss but she was afraid what that might lead to. "He's probably here I better get out there."

"Alright...oh if you see Annette-"

"I'll tell her you're getting dressed" Kathryn said with a smile as she left.

"You better not" he warned but she was already out the door.

He knew she wouldn't open her mouth if only because it would dirty her own reputation but Sebastian still dressed quickly and headed back to the party. At that point he had already missed dinner and as he made his way through the crowd he racked his brain for a good excuse to feed to Annette.

Suddenly he felt a pair of arms circle him and a familiar voice ask "now where have you been hiding?"

He turned around and smiled at Annette "umm...I got hung up on a phone call. Blaine was having a crisis of some sort."

It was sort of a lame excuse but he knew if he needed it Blaine would cover his ass. Annette seemed to buy it as she said "well you didn't miss much and I think the wicked witch left because I haven't seen...or maybe I'm wrong" she said as something caught her eye over Sebastian's shoulder.

Sebastian's turned around and followed Annette's gaze to across the room where Kathryn was hugging a talk dark haired man. Well hugging was putting it loosely Sebastian thought with disgust. Maybe dry humping was a better word. "Guess not" he muttered.

"Who's that?"

"Christian" Sebastian answered without even thinking about how he would explain how he knew that.

Annette looked at him curiously "how do you know?"

"I..."

Before Sebastian could come up with a viable excuse Kathryn and Christian were standing in front of them arm in arm with matching smiles. "Hello you must be the happy couple" he greeted them "Kathryn has told me all about you."

Sebastian raised his eyebrows at Kathryn as he took in the man in front of him. He certainly looked like he could be in the mob. Christian was taller than Sebastian with slightly broader shoulders that were coated in a tan as if he had been out sailing all day. His hair was dark brown as were his eyes that matched the dark expensive suit he was wearing. Most women would probably have found him extremely attractive but to Sebastian he just looked like another slick asshole. For the life of him he couldn't see why Kathryn was with him. He had money and looks but he also looked to be about ten years older than her.

As much as he didn't want to Sebastian played nice shaking his hand and welcoming him. "It's good to meet you Kathryn was mentioning you but didn't tell me your last name."

He smiled touching Kathryn's arm lightly "DeMille. Christian DeMille you must be Sebastian Kathryn was telling me all about you on out trip here."

Sebastian was curious as hell as to what exactly she told him. Was this guy aware of the true Kathryn or does he just see the same act she puts on for everyone else he wondered. "All good I hope."

"Of course. I'm sorry I'm late but I got held up at the marina. I just got this new boat in and I wanted to be there in person when it was delivered."

"Oh you sail?" Sebastian asked pretending to be interested.

"Yes it was one of the things that brought me and Kat together?"

As soon as he called her Kat Sebastian realized how much he truly hated this guy. For starters Kathryn hated to be called Kat and second she knew shit about boats. Still he continued to play nice and ask questions as if he gave a damn about any of this.

When Christian began describing the boat he had just purchased Kathryn realized she needed a drink. The night's events were starting to wear on her and she was in desperate need to get away from this scene. She leaned up and whispered in Christian's ear that she would be at the bar and gave Sebastian one more withering glance as she left them.

Kathryn had made her way to the bar when Annette's voice came up behind her "conversation getting a little boring for you?"

Kathryn rolled her eyes before turning around to face her enemy "yes I enjoy ridding them but talking about boats puts me to sleep."

Annette gave her a fake smile before asking her the question that had been nagging her all night. "What exactly are you doing here?"

Kathryn knew what she was asking but played dumb anyway as she sipped her gin and tonic "getting a drink."

"I want you to stay away from him" she hissed as she moved closer to Kathryn.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me stay away from Sebastian. He is finally happy for once in his life and I'm not going to have you ruin that for him."

Kathryn dropped the smile and glared at her "don't you mean it would ruin things for you? Your happiness?"

"Sebastian's happy with me Kathryn deal with it. All you ever did was make him miserable."

"Is that so?"

Annette smiled confidently "I read the journal, I know everything about you and I know all the ways you screwed him over and I'm telling you that if you so much as look at him the wrong way I will make you very sorry you returned to New York, understand?"

Kathryn took a long pause before answering. Finally turning to Annette she said in a voice barely a whisper "oh sweety you don't have a clue do you? You stand there with your little miss holier than thou act and expect me to jump because you know a little bit about my past with Sebastian."

"I know everything."

She snickered "trust me you don't. You know what Sebastian wanted you to know and that's it. So here's how it is, if you ever threaten me or mouth off to me again about things you don't know anything about I'll make your life the kind of hell not worth living." Kathryn stepped closer to Annette and gently caressed her hair "you have no idea what I could do to you if properly provoked and trust me when I say you don't want to know, understand?"

Annette said nothing just glared at her with absolute hatred as she practically shook with anger. This only made Kathryn's smile widen as she changed her tone and said "well it was a lovely party but I think we'll be going now. Tell Sebastian good bye for me, would you?"

* * * * * *

"Twice in one week that must be a new record" Annette commented as they got out of Sebastian's jag.

"Are you complaining? I thought you wanted to go to this thing?"

Annette smiled as she linked her arm with his "not complaining, just curious. What spurned on this new attitude?"

She was referring to the fact that this was the second social function they had attended that week the first of course being their own party. Sebastian usually hated these parties weather they be to celebrate some rich assholes latest anniversary/birthday or a charity event like this one was. However when he heard about this one in the hamptons being a yachting party to raise money for some social cause he couldn't resist going. He knew she would be there.

Annette of course didn't know this and he certainly wasn't about to tell her anytime soon so instead Sebastian just smiled and remarked "well I promised Julian we would look at his new boat. Besides I know how important this cause is to you."

Annette smiled "you're so sweet. I'm so glad you wanted to come I really am interested in finding out more about how the money is being divided. I mean I think it's really important that the seal's get a cut not just the...oh my." They stopped when they got the harbor where several large yacht's were docked.

Adjusting his sunglasses Sebastian smiled "yeah I think that one is Julian's."

"Wow they really go all out don't they?"

Sebastian smiled still charmed at the way Annette was awed by the money around her. "Yeah I suppose they do."

He led her up to the boat and as they walked the plank he looked around for Christian's boat. As soon as he mentioned the other night that he had just bought a boat Sebastian knew he would most likely be at the party which meant Kathryn would be there as well. Sebastian knew he should stay away from her at any cost but he couldn't help himself. He had to see her.

"There you two are I was staring to think you wouldn't make it" Julian greeted them at they stepped aboard.

Julian was an old friend of Sebastian's who now attended Stanford across the country. He had come home for a visit and to show off his new boat. "Nice boat, must have sent mommy and daddy back a few" Sebastian snickered good naturally.

"You're one to talk, at least I have a major Valmont. Last time I checked you didn't unless Co-Eds are on the curriculum this semester."

By the way Annette grimaced Julian seemed to figure out that this was not the time to be joking about Sebastian's reputation. However he saved face by smiling and saying "but of course that's all in the past now. Who wants a drink?"

They both nodded as Julian disappeared inside the boat. Sebastian sighed and said "sorry he didn't mean-"

"It's ok Sebastian" Annette interrupted him "I know that's in the past. I trust you."

As soon as she said it Sebastian immediately felt guilty about being there. This was a bad idea. Why was he purposely trying to sabotage this great thing he had going with Annette? He should never have gotten involved with Kathryn in the first place.

Taking his fiancé's hand Sebastian said "you know Annette maybe we should just-"

"Is that Kathryn?"

"What? Where?" Sebastian turned around to where Annette was looking at over his shoulder. Standing on a large yacht two boats over was Kathryn. Topless. They both stared open mouthed "yeah that's her" Sebastian muttered.

"God could she be any more obvious? Did you know she was coming to this?"

"No" he told her.

"Hey you guys like champagne right?" Julian asked as he came up carrying a bottle and a couple of glasses.

Sebastian pulled his eyes away from Kathryn long enough to say "yeah that's fine. Umm Julian you didn't happen to see my father her did you?"

Julian gave him a curious glance "your father? Why was he..." Sebastian gave his friend a knowing glance that told him to play along. No idiot Julian quickly caught on and said "oh you know I think I did."

"Annette would you mind if I left for a minute? I have to go talk to my father about some things."

She smiled as she sipped her drink "no go ahead I'm fine."

Julian took her by the arm "how about a tour mademoiselle?"

Annette giggled and as they headed off Sebastian quickly left the boat and headed for Christian's yacht. As he did a voice in the back of his head told him how stupid this was and that he should forget even seeing her but he couldn't. As always he was drawn to her and he was powerless to stop it.

Sebastian got to the boat and as he approched the top deck he was suddenly stopped by two large bulky guys dressed in suits. "Can we help you?" one of them asked.

"Yeah I need to talk to-"

"It's ok boys, let him by" Kathryn ordered from her deck chair near by.

At her request the two men moved aside and let Sebastian through. "We're traveling with armed guards now?"

Kathryn smirked as she laid back basking in the sun still topless "Christian insists, he likes protecting his valuables."

"Right, speaking of which where is he?"

"Off talking to some one or other" she sighed.

"And what does he think of his valuables prancing around without a top on?"

Kathryn smirked "enjoying the view?"

"Yes me and every other male in the vicinity" he told her coldly.

"And Annette"

Sebastian scowled "she didn't enjoy seeing your tits anymore than I did."

Kathryn stood up "funny you didn't think that the other night when you were sucking on them."

She walked past him and down to the inside of the boat and Sebastian followed unsure of what exactly he was doing. "Are you going to throw what happened that night in my face every time we see each other?"

Kathryn slid her glasses off and sighed "I don't know. Are you going to follow me everywhere I go?"

"I didn't know you were going to be here."

"Right" she muttered as she slipped her bikini top back on. "Well if that's the case what the hell are you doing here?"

Sebastian sat down on the sofa behind her "I wanted to talk to you about this guy."

She rolled her eyes "oh? What about him?"

"I think he's dangerous Kathryn. I mean what do you really know about him?"

Kathryn sat down beside him "I know enough, I know he takes care of me and he wants..." she hesitated before telling him. "He wants to marry me."

The news hit Sebastian harder than he thought. His eyes went wide "marry? Did you say yes?"

She shrugged "not yet. I don't know if I want to be anyone's wife."

He reluctantly asked the question that was gnawing at him "do you love him?"

"I... I don't feel like talking about this anymore" she sighed.

"Well that's a first. You always use to love to brag about your conquests to me" he said recalling what seemed a lifetime ago.

Kathryn smiled "yeah well things change."

"Not always" as he said it Kathryn leaned in closer to him till there mouths were almost touching. She then pulled away and climbed onto his lap.

"Are you going to tell me the real reason you came here?"

Sebastian's eyes lingered down her smooth body clad only in a red bikini. Having her sit on him was making it almost impossibly hard to control his erection. "I already did"

"Are you sure it it's not because you want a repeat performance of the other night?"

His hands began to make there way across her smooth thighs "are you offering?" Kathryn shrugged innocently as she began to slowly grind her body against his. Biting his lip Sebastian told her "I'm with Annette Kathryn."

"And yet here you are" she said in a sing song voice "underneath me, massaging my ass getting all...hard." Sebastian had to surpress a groan as one of her hands slipped down between them and massaged his balls through his pants. "I wonder what she would say if she walked-"

Sebastian interrupted her with a hard kiss taking her breath away. He didn't want to hear Annette's name, he didn't want to think of anything but fucking Kathryn. When they pulled away she only smiled as she unzipped his pants and removed his hard dick. Looking down she murmured "mmm."

In a matter of seconds Sebastian was inside of her and Kathryn began to ride him. There mouth's barely broke apart and there eyes stayed open almost the whole time watching each other in strange fascination. With a breathy sigh Kathryn whispered "Sebastian...I..."

Before she could finish Christian's voice came filtering through the boat "Kathryn!"
