Summary: Kathryn and Sebastian try to break one another but are unsuccessful. A night time encounter might change that.
Chapter 5: Delicious Torment
"So how exactly did the two of you meet?" Christian asked later that night over dinner.
The question hung in the air like a storm cloud with Annette, Sebastian, and Kathryn looking awkwardly at one another. This was very much a story you didn't want to tell over dinner.
"Umm...I met Sebastian through his aunt Helen. I was staying at her home the same time Sebastian was" Annette answered when neither Kathryn or Sebastian volunteered.
"Oh was it love at first site?"
It was taking all of Kathryn's self control not to vomit at the question. Instead she looked pointedly at Sebastian who only gave her his regular impassive expression. The question however did seem to amuse Annette who laughed slightly "well, not exactly. Let's just say Sebastian and my personalities crashed quite a bit at first."
"That's putting it mildly" Kathryn muttered under her breath as she sipped her wine.
"What honey?" Christian asked unaware of the tension surrounding him.
Forcing a smile onto her face she told him "I was just saying it came as quite a shock to everyone when they started dating. After all they were so different Sebastian was so experienced and Annette was so...virginal."
As she said it Annette seemed to sink back in her chair from embarrassment while Sebastian's eyes narrowed at his former sister as if warning her not to go any further. However Kathryn only smiled happily at the couple, enjoying their discomfort immensely.
The host of the weekend from hell looked over at his guests not quite sure what the situation was or how to handle it. He decided to ignore Kathryn's obvious hostile attitude and continue on with his line of questioning. "So have you set a date yet?"
"Date?" Sebastian asked him prying his eyes away from Kathryn for the moment.
Annette smiled "he means the wedding date Sebastian. It's next month actually."
'That's great" Christian smiled.
"Yes were both looking forward to it" Sebastian smiled as he took Annette's hand in his. He let his eyes wander to Kathryn who's jovial mood had seemingly disappeared as soon as the word wedding was mentioned. "You're both invited of course. We want everyone to be there when we declare our love in front of god and the world." As he said it Sebastian kissed Annette's hand but his eyes never once pulled away from Kathryn. To anyone watching, that twinkle in Sebastian's eyes would seem to be caused by his love for her future bride. In actuality it was a fuck you, to the brunette across the table.
"Well we wouldn't miss it" Christian told them as he took Kathryn's hand.
There's no way in hell, Kathryn thought miserably as she watched Annette and Sebastian gaze into each other's eyes. There was no way she was going to that wedding. However she said nothing and in fact she said pretty much nothing the whole dinner. This of course delighted Sebastian who took it as a sign that he was winning.
After dinner though was another story. While they were all sitting around in the parlor having a drink Annette got called away by a phone call from her wedding planner. Sebastian and Christian talked for a moment about art and some of the sights in Italy while Kathryn watched patiently.
When the conversation seemed to die down a little Kathryn decided to seize the opportunity. With a Cheshire cat smile she sauntered up to Christian and sat in his lap. He looked her over curious until she leaned in and whispered in his ear "I need you to fuck my brains out right now."
One of Christian's favorite things about Kathryn was the fact that she could act so sweet and innocent one minute and be a total slut the next. He looked at her somewhat amazed and said "right now?"
She only nodded as she took his hand and guided it underneath her dress. Christian's jaw seemed to clench and she could feel his member starting to stir underneath her. Pulling her eyes away for a moment she looked over at Sebastian who was staring at her with a look that was a mix between contempt and arousal. Her smile only widened as Christian quickly got up and said "we'll have to continue this conversation later Sebastian. Right now I have some pressing issues to deal with."
As Sebastian watched them exit the room practically tarring their clothes off in the process he cursed himself for taking Kathryn up on that challenge. If he had just admitted why he came on this stupid weekend trip in the first place he wouldn't of had to deal with Kathryn's surly mood and cold showers every few hours.
He sat there for a few moments trying to figure a way out of the mess he had gotten himself into with Kathryn when he heard the sound of something falling followed by the unmistakable sound of Kathryn moaning. As he realized that they were actually doing it in the hallway Sebastian groaned "oh you gotta be kidding me."
He was just going to ignore it he told himself. Sebastian knew damn well that Kathryn was purposely baiting him, purposely trying to drive him nuts and he wasn't going to fall for it. However her moaning just seemed to get louder and Sebastian noticed that they had left the door open a little ways.
Oh fuck it he thought, she's practically inviting me to watch. Slowly he got up from his seat and made his way over to the partially open door. Sebastian didn't look out at first he only let his ear rest against the crack taking in the sounds that were coming from only a few feet away. Finally unable to stop himself he looked out and saw Kathryn getting her brains fucked out against a wall. Both of them were still fully dressed except Kathryn's dress was up around her waist and her slinky straps were falling down.
"Oh god...oh fuck...yesss..." She yelled out as Christian seemed to relentlessly pound into her while Kathryn's eyes remained shut tight in concentration. Or maybe she's pretending it's someone else Sebastian thought semi-hopefully. As he watched the scene unfold he could feel his own cock start to stiffen making him even more uncomfortable.
Wrapping her legs tighter around her boyfriend Kathryn's eyes suddenly opened and focused on Sebastian. As their eyes locked a slow malicious smile spread across her face that screamed "Fuck you!"
Sebastian scowled at her and shut the door hard. Without a second thought he turned around and headed out of the room. As he did Annette came back in "hey where did everyone go..."
Sebastian didn't answer her he only picked her up and carried her back to their bedroom. Annette laughed "what's going on?"
Entering the bedroom Sebastian set her down then kissed her hard on the mouth in a way he had never done before. It was a kiss so full or passion and heat that it startled Annette. Pulling away she looked at him bewildered and for a second almost frightened "Sebastian what is going on with you?"
However Sebastian was in no mood for talking and he didn't want to listed to her either. He wanted to forget about the scene he just witnessed, he wanted to forget about the challenge, and most of all he wanted to forget who Annette was.
Without a word he picked her back up and set her roughly back down of the bed in the same manor he had with Kathryn on that first night they were together. He kissed her roughly as he yanked her clothes off. Then without waiting for an ok from her he pushed into her forcefully and began to fuck her roughly as he pinned her hands to the bed.
The whole time Annette remained confused by the guy who seemingly looked like her fiancé but was acting like someone else entirely. Her boyfriend was never this rough in bed, never this forceful and uncaring. It scared her but at the same time she was afraid to tell him to stop namely because she was afraid he wouldn't.
Annette tried to pull her arm free and kiss him. Maybe make it a little more tender but Sebastian wasn't having any of that. He only continued on fucking her all the while looking at her but it seemed as if he was looking through her.
Looking down into Annette confused face Sebastian tried to block it out. He knew he was hurting her both physically and emotionally but he didn't care. At this point he was beyond reason. He wanted her to be someone else, he needed her to be but she wasn't. She didn't feel like Kathryn or respond to him like Kathryn's did.
Finally Sebastian thrusted twice more into his beloved Annette before emptying himself in her. After he came he released his grip on her and rolled over next to her on the bed. He knew Annette hadn't come but it didn't really bother him. Whenever they fucked, or made love as she called it he always made sure all of her needs were taken care of. Well tonight it was about him and he didn't feel he had to apologize for it.
Laying next to him shaken and naked, her arms hurting from his treatment Annette wasn't sure what to do. Finally she asked "what was that?"
Sebastian sighed as he leaned over and took a cigarette from his jacket "I believe it's called fucking."
Annette sat up and glared angrily at him not at all amused by his attitude. "What the hell is wrong with you? You never treat me like that."
"Like what?" He asked defensively.
"Like I'm somebody else" her voice grew quiet suddenly "you hurt me."
"I didn't mean to" he told her avoiding her eyes. Sebastian knew that if he looked at her he would start to feel guilty and ask for her forgiveness. He didn't want to apologize he was sick of it. Instead he said "I just thought we could try some thing new."
"Right" she said as she laid back down beside him. Annette knew that wasn't what brought this on but she wasn't about to push him now. Not with this new attitude he seemed to develop. "I knew we shouldn't have come this weekend" she sighed.
"Why?"
"It's being around Kathryn that does this to you. It's puts you on edge. You're always acting like you have to compete with her."
He took a drag before replying "that's not true."
Annette sat up of her elbow and stared down at him. "Yes it is but don't worry. She'll be out of lives again soon."
Sebastian finally turned to her and asked "what are you talking about?"
"Christian told me that he's going to ask Kathryn to marry him."
He sighed recalling Kathryn telling him the same thing the other day on the boat. "Really?"
"Yeah" Annette continued "then he wants to take her back to Europe. He thinks there are too many distractions here in New York."
"I'll bet" he grumbled.
Annette smiled "so see we'll be free of her soon and then you'll never have to see her again."
Somehow Sebastian forced a smile and said "great."
* * * * * *
At two a.m. Sebastian still hadn't slept a wink while Annette dozed easily next to him. This latest case of insomnia was brought on by Kathryn. Maybe Annette was right maybe once she was gone she would then be truly out of his system. I mean until she showed up he hadn't thought about her in months.
Still when he couldn't sleep he decided to get up and walk around. He wasn't worried about awaking the sleeping blond in his bed because he knew Annette slept like a log. Sebastian wandered around the old house looking in random rooms trying to get a feel for who exactly Christian was. Although they were very discreetly hidden away he knew there were several guards on watch throughout the house. He couldn't help but wonder if he was being watched while he walked around.
Finally he got to the floor Kathryn was staying on. He had noticed before that Kathryn and Christian kept separate rooms. However that didn't seem to drag their sex life down at all. When he got to the bedroom that he knew was Kathryn's (he had seen her leave it earlier that night) he stopped in front of it and raised his hand as if to knock but then stopped himself. No way, he was not going to admit defeat to her. That's what this would be. As great as getting to sleep with her again would be the price would be far too high.
Taking one more glance at her door Sebastian turned around and started for the other direction when Kathryn suddenly appeared. Although it was nearly pitch black in the hallway he could still make out her slender frame clad in a white robe. Her green eyes narrowed in curiosity as she asked "what do you want? Come to admit defeat?"
He stepped closer to her "you wish. Christian kick you out of his bed?"
"Fuck you" she hissed as she leaned against the wall opposite him. "I couldn't sleep. What are you doing in front of my door?"
"Why couldn't you sleep?"
"Why couldn't you?"
The two stared each other down waiting for the other to admit the truth. When neither of them said anything Kathryn shook her head at him as she started for her bedroom. "Good night Sebastian" she sighed.
However before Kathryn could get to her room Sebastian grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him. Mere inches away the two looked into each others faces willing each other to break. When he said nothing she pulled out of his grasp and walked back into her room. Sebastian stood in the hallway for a moment telling himself to go back to his bedroom and go to sleep, but that wasn't in the cards.
Without a second thought Sebastian turned around and stormed into Kathryn's bedroom. She spun around as soon as he entered but before she could ask what he was doing there he gathered her in his arms and kissed her fiercely taking any breath she had away.
Unlike Annette, Kathryn didn't need reasons or excuses and she eagerly returned his passion and egged him on by pressing herself into his body. They somehow made their way to the large bed in the center of the room. Kathryn pushed him down roughly as she pulled her robe away to reveal that she was only wearing a simple white thong. Sebastian yanked it off with one finger while fingering her with the others.
As she felt him touch her Kathryn let her head tilt back so she could let out a soft moan of appreciation. Deciding to return the favor she pulled his boxers away and bowed her head down. In seconds her warm mouth was encasing his cock sending ripples of pleasure throughout his body. "Oh...god..." Sebastian groaned realizing this was the first time she had ever done this for him.
Kathryn looked up at him with a wicked twinkle in her eye as she continued to suck and massage his balls and shaft. Although his years of experience had taught him how to hold off ejaculating until he wanted, Kathryn's actions were having a strange affect on him. She was on her knees but she was the one very much in control and they both knew it. She could make him come any second but kept holding off on it.
Just when Sebastian felt his orgasm approaching Kathryn pulled his very hard, and pulsating dick out of her mouth and held it in her hand making a point to block the tip. He looked up at her with venom and hissed "don't even think about it."
Kathryn said nothing only smiled as she gently stroked him but made sure he couldn't come. The feeling was so intense it was almost painful for Sebastian. Finally though she seemed to take pity on him so she straddled him and slid his hard shaft inside of her.
Sebastian slid his hands around her ass as Kathryn began to ride him. This was something that Sebastian had fantasized about ever since he had met Kathryn and now here they were all these years later. It seemed so surreal.
Because of the state she had left him in before Sebastian knew he was going to come quickly. However unlike Annette he very much wanted Kathryn to come with him. He loved that feeling on knowing she was losing control at the same time he was. Sebastian sat up while she continued to ride him and let his mouth latch onto one of her swaying breasts. He sucked her nipple until it hardened and then quickly let his hand wander down to where there bodies were joined. Sebastian found her clit and rubbed the hard little nub until Kathryn started to scream.
"Oh god that feels...so...good...I'm close..."
Sebastian pulled away from her breast and watched her face as he ordered her "come baby...now"
Kathryn leaned forward and bit his shoulder as her orgasm hit her hard. She felt Sebastian come inside her a half of second later and she silently cursed. That was his way of winning.
Pulling away from his shoulder neither said anything they just started making out and then fell back into bed. They kissed almost gently as they pawed each others bodies. This lasted for a little while longer before Sebastian spread her legs again and they had another, longer session of sex. Unlike the first time which was frantic the second fuck was slow as they both appreciated what they were doing.
After they both came Kathryn laid on her stomach and sighed as Sebastian entered her again from behind. As he fucked her soundlessly they both watched their reflections in the vanity mirror on the opposite wall. Though they didn't say it they both wondered what the other was thinking. Sebastian wondered if this was just another random fuck for her and how he compared to Christian. Kathryn's thoughts were similar as she was curious if he was thinking about Annette.
When they came Sebastian collapsed on top of Kathryn's back and then rolled over next to her. They were both a little shaky and out of breath as they contemplated what happened. The silence was broken when Kathryn said "I won."
"I suppose so" he sighed. The challenge suddenly came rushing back to him and as it did he realized something. He should feel guilty for cheating on Annette, again. He did feel guilty but not about cheating on her. He felt guilty because he didn't care. Sebastian wanted Kathryn, he had her and now he wanted to fall asleep in her bed, wake up with her and do it again in the morning.
However he thought of Annette when she woke up and found he wasn't there. It would kill her and he knew it.
Suddenly Sebastian sat up and got out of the bed. As he gathered his clothes Kathryn watched him and asked "what are you doing?"
"It's late I have to get back to Annette before she realizes I'm gone" he told her slipping on his boxers.
"Of course" Kathryn sighed as she sat up. "Can't upset the little misses."
"Don't start" he warned.
Kathryn watched him for a moment as her anger began to set in. At that moment she hated Annette more than ever before. Not because Sebastian was leaving her to go back to there bed but because it was making her feel like a whore. Getting up suddenly Kathryn grabbed him by the arm and said "first you have to admit it."
His face wrinkled in confusion "admit what?"
"The challenge remember? You lost now you have to admit what a joke your relationship is."
Sebastian pulled away from her and sighed "Kathryn it was just a bet. I'm not admitting anything, I love Annette."
She shook her head at him "and yet here you are fucking me."
"Look this was just...I just had to get you out of my system and now that I have. This is over with. We are over with."
The words stung her more than she would have thought possible but she tried to hide it. "You fucking pussy" she hissed. "You're full of shit and you know it."
Sebastian knew she was right. He didn't want to hurt her he really didn't but he also couldn't hurt Annette. He had already made a promise to Annette and he did love her so he had to end things with Kathryn before they got to out of control. Another night like this and he knew he would never be strong enough to break off his relationship with Kathryn.
"Kathryn go back to Christian and let it go, it's over with. I need to be with Annette" he told her.
The hardened expression of her face softened as she said "god to think I thought you were...oh fuck it get out."
"You thought I was what?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. Get out, get the fuck out of my room Sebastian. I never want you in here again."
He hesitated a second as he watched her face of complete ice. Somberly he tuned around an left her room.
* * * * * *
That night neither Kathryn nor Sebastian slept at all but both were up early at breakfast. Sebastian and Annette arrived first followed by Christian who had set up a breakfast feast outdoors. When Sebastian saw him enter alone he was tempted to ask about Kathryn but he didn't for fear of arousing Annette's suspicions.
Kathryn did arrive a little while later wearing ridding gear. She was pleasant to everyone but Sebastian silently wondered how she was really feeling. She seemed to be avoiding looking him in the face. When the stable hands brought some of the horses around Annette and Christian went up to look at them while Sebastian hung back.
"Are you all right?" He asked coming up behind her.
"Just peachy" Kathryn said with a fake smile she reserved for the society patrons.
"You're lying"
"So what" she said as her smile fell. "Oh don't worry Sebastian you didn't break my heart." She leaned forward and touched his cheek "I don't have one remember?"
Before he could respond she scowled at him and walked away and joined Annette and Christian. Sebastian watched the group a moment before joining them. "I'm going to ride Machievelle" Kathryn announced.
"No Kat it's too dangerous" Christian told her sternly.
"I'll be fine" she said as she turned and headed to the stable.
Christian sighed obviously not pleased but he knew Kathryn well enough to know that if she wanted to do something there was little that could be done to stop her. "The horse isn't fully broken in yet" Christian explained to Sebastian and Annette. "Kathryn's a good rider but he's too wild even for her."
"She seems to be doing ok" Annette noted when Kathryn emerged from the stables ridding a large, beautiful black horse.
The three of them watched as Kathryn rode out of the stable. "So Christian I hear you're going to ask Kathryn to marry you" Sebastian asked.
Christian pulled his eyes away from Kathryn and smiled "yes I am."
"Do you think she'll agree?"
"Well I wasn't sure at first but this morning she came to me and it sounded-"
Christian was suddenly interrupted by the loud wail of the horse followed by Kathryn's scream. The three watched in terror as the large beast through Kathryn off sending her toppling to the ground. Sebastian's heart stopped as he yelled out "Kathryn!"
