Confessions of an Ice Princess
Summary: The relationship between the Valmont brothers reaches a boiling point and Sebastian begins seeing Annette at Kathryn's request.
Pawns In the Game of Life
I was a girl with a plan. Many actually but on this particular Saturday morning when I arrived at the Valmont townhouse there was only one thing I was after. To put it bluntly I was there to give Sebastian a kick in the ass. He had been putting off his promise to help me with Annette for too long so I decided to give him a reminder.
I wasn't at all surprised when the maid who answered the door told me that Sebastian was still asleep. I was just hoping that when I went to wake him he was alone. However on my way to his room I got distracted when Nicholas came down the stairs. Dressed in a dark gray suit that complemented his blue eyes oh so nicely he came down the stairs towards me. It was then I suddenly recalled the other reason for my visit which was to find out more about Sebastian's older brother.
As he looked up at me his serious expression fell away and he smiled "Kathryn."
"Hello Nicholas. Where are you off to?"
He sighed "to the office."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise "on a Saturday?"
"Sadly yes. I just transferred to this new firm and you know as the lowest being on the totem pole I end up having to work on the weekends. It sucks but it will be worth it when I make partner."
"Very ambitious for a guy not even out of law school yet. I'm impressed" I told him with a nod of approval. It wasn't bullshit either. Following the party my mother gave me the lowdown on Nicholas Valmont. He graduated from prep school a year early, attended Yale before moving to London where he worked under his fathers chief legal aid. Apparently he had been engaged to some girl but it didn't work out so he followed his father and brother back to the states. Handsome, wealthy and ambitious yes Mr. Valmont was very impressive indeed.
"I'm glad to hear it" he smiled "actually I was hoping I'd see you again."
"You were?"
"Yeah so what are you doing here?"
"I came to see Sebastian" I explained.
At that his smile fell somewhat and his expression darkened "oh I see."
Seeing him obviously bothered by the real reason I was there gave me a somewhat perverse thrill. Still I played innocent and asked "what's wrong?"
"Nothing it's just...are you and my brother seeing each other?"
With a coy smile I asked "why? Would it bother you if we were?"
"Maybe" he smiled back. "It's just you seem like a nice girl and I would hate to see you get hurt by Sebastian. I mean I know he seems charming and fun but the only person my brother cares about is himself. Time after time I see him destroy innocent girls lives and he doesn't feel one drop of remorse about it."
"I see" I told him as I stepped closer. "Well Nicholas I can tell you right now you have nothing to worry about. I know very well who your brother is and what he's capable of. I can also tell you I am many things but innocent isn't one of them."
He smiled "I'm glad to hear it. So are you seeing him?"
Just as I was about to answer I looked past Nicholas and saw Sebastian standing in the doorway behind him. Dressed in a black silk robe his arms were crossed over his chest as he glared at me. Slowly I smiled as I answered "no, not at all."
"Good then maybe-"
"There you are" Sebastian called out with faux cheer. "I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me."
He walked over to me, gave me a kiss on the forehead and took my hand as I watched with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity. "I was just on my way to see you when I ran into your brother."
Glaring daggers at his brother, Nicholas's smile had completely vanished. "Yes I was just advising Kathryn to watch out for certain people who may be bad for her."
Sebastian nodded "I bet you were but see Nick unlike most of the boring twits you associate yourself with Kathryn can think for herself. And she doesn't need your advice on anything" he explained with a cocky smile. "Now don't you have a job to attend to?"
"Yes I do. Unlike some I don't plan on being a screw up for the rest of my life."
"Was that a dig at me?" Sebastian asked with mock hurt "ouch that stung"
As the male pissing contest unfolded before me I watched silently amused. The two brothers glared at each other a moment before Sebastian took me by the hand and pulled me away. "If you'll excuse us"
"It was nice seeing you again Kathryn" Nicholas called out to me as he picked up his briefcase.
"You too" I told him over my shoulder.
Once the door shut behind us I pulled out of Sebastian's grasp "what was all that about?"
"I was doing you a favor. You should thank me" he sighed as he collapsed back into his large bed.
"No you were acting like an arrogant prick and I want to know why. What's the deal with you and your brother?"
Looking off slightly he replied softly "it's a long story."
With a wicked grin I crawled onto the bed and straddled his lap. "It sounds like someone has a case of big brother envy."
He snorted "hardly."
"Oh come on Sebastian he's cute, and smart and that body...thouroughly fuckable."
"Don't" he said his face suddenly hard and serious.
"What?"
"Don't get involved with my brother Kathryn. I'm warning you no good will come of it. He's a complete asshole"
Studying him for a moment I realized this was the first time I had ever scene Sebastian look serious about anything. It most definitely piqued my interest. "What the hell happened between the two of you?" When he only shrugged in response I sighed "why do I have a feeling a girl was involved."
"You're not wrong."
I leaned closer to him "then tell me the story."
Relaxing slightly he smiled "no way."
Immediately I pulled away "fine I don't care what happened."
He grinned "yes you do."
"Your brother isn't the reason I'm here anyway."
"That's good"
"I'm here to find out if you're going to renege on your promise to help me with Annette."
Sebastian sighed "I had a feeling that's what this was about. No Kathryn I'm not backing out on our agreement."
"Then why haven't you done anything yet" I demanded.
He shrugged "I've been busy"
"Oh bullshit you're just too much of a chicken shit-"
"Shut up" he grabbed me from around the waist suddenly and pulled me towards him. "I said I'd destroy her and I will."
My eyes locked on his as I hissed "prove it."
He loosened his grip on me but his eyes remained on mine as he reached for the phone resting on his night stand. I watched intently as he dialed "hello Annette it's Sebastian." I smiled at the realization that my push tactic had worked. Sebastian might be tougher than most but he could still be controlled.
"Yes, yes I'm fine and you? Is Kathryn still driving you nuts?" I glared at him but he only smiled in response. "Good, I'm glad to hear it. Listen Annette the reason I'm calling is, well I miss you and I was thinking maybe we could get together." As Sebastian worked his snow job on my unsuspecting sister his left hand slid up my shirt and he began kneeing my breast. Moaning almost involuntarily I licked my lips as I listened in.
"Well yeah I guess it would be like a date" he continued. "Are you interested?" Sebastian started tweaking my now hard nipple as he listened to her reply. "Great Annette I know the perfect restaurant. You'll love it...yeah ok tomorrow is perfect...seven...I'll see you then. I can't wait." As he clicked off the phone he asked "well bitch did that satisfy you?"
I laughed in delight "almost."
Sebastian smiled at me before once again pulling me towards him only this time he kissed me. I knew I shouldn't, and I certainly shouldn't have the other night but I found myself unable to pull away from him. Instead my hands slid around his neck allowing me to pull him closer. Even when he rolled me onto my back I still didn't pull away. However as our tongues began to intertwine a voice in the back on my head reminded me to stop this before in went to far. The only real power I had over Sebastian was sex. If I gave into him now I mine as well just forget about my plan to get Annette out of my life for good. So with great reluctance I pushed him away telling him "not yet. Not until she's gone."
Sebastian let out a loud groan of frustration as he sat up suddenly "you're a tease."
I laughed "poor Sebastian's not use to a girl saying no. Well you'll get lots of practice with the phrase with Annette."
He gave me his usual arrogant smile "not for long. I will have her then I'll have you and when I'm done with you Kathryn I promise you, you won't be able to walk for a week."
"Promises, promises"
Sebastian leaned down and kissed my bare shoulder, then my neck before bringing his lips a mere centimeter from mine. "I'm going to take a shower."
As he got up and headed to the bathroom I called out "better make it a cold one."
* * * * * *
They were late. It had been over two weeks since Sebastian had made his first date with Annette, a date that as it turned out would be a first of many. Yes just as I planned the two were now officially dating. Tonight had been their fifth date and they had been seeing each other so much that I had barely spoken with Valmont.
Now normally Sebastian dropped the purity princess off at eleven but currently it was a quarter to one. This made me curious if Sebastian had indeed gotten into her pants. I mean what else could they possibly be doing that would keep them out so late?
I had been standing out on the balcony looking out at the street below when I noticed Sebastian's jag rounding the corner. He stopped in front of the house and opened the care door for Annette before they both headed inside. I decided to stay out on the balcony where I could remain hidden while listening in on them. Standing clear out of view I listened as they entered the room laughing. "You're so funny Sebastian"
"Well I don't know about that"
"You should let that side of you out more often. Don't be so serious all the time"
"I'll try"
I turned my nose up at the exchange but listened anyway. "Well I had a really great time tonight" she whispered "I can't wait till Wednesday."
"Me neither" he told her full of sincerity. There was a moment of silence between them so as discreetly as possible I looked out at them as they started making out. It was funny, even though this is exactly what I wanted I couldn't help but be sickened by the display before me. I was even more sickened when I realized that I actually felt jealous of Annette for an instant. Still I brushed the feeling aside and held back the urge to interrupt them.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity they broke apart. "I should get to bed I'm exhausted. I'll talk to you tomorrow though right?"
"Yes promise. Good night." Even after I heard Annette leave the room I stayed where I was wondering if Sebastian would look for me or just leave. I got my answer when he called out "come out, come out wherever you are." Rolling my eyes I walked back into the room and he smiled obviously pleased he was right. "Enjoy the show?"
"That was truly nauseating"
"Just doing my job" he shrugged.
Taking a quick peak down the hall to make sure Annette had gone to her room I asked "well did you fuck her?"
"Kathryn" Sebastian gasped in surprise "a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell."
"It's a good thing your not a gentleman then. So did you nail her?"
He smirked as he took a seat on the couch "not yet but the evening wasn't a complete waste."
Confused I asked "then what did you do?"
"I practiced my ABC's on her"
"What the fuck does that...oh" when the realization dawned on me I grinned. "You went down on her?"
"That I did" he grinned. "Would you like the details?"
"Christ no" I answered in disgust. "However I must admit I'm surprised. I thought Annette was far too uptight for something like that."
"So did I but I guess people can surprise you sometimes. In any event she enjoyed herself."
I smiled as I noticed Sebastian shift on the couch uncomfortably "I take it she didn't return the favor?"
"What do you think" he grumbled.
Moving closer to him on the couch I slid a hand around his neck and whispered in his ear "I'm thinking you deserve a reward for all your hard work."
"I agree, what did you have in mind?"
I nuzzled my nose against his "I was thinking I'd make you feel a little more...comfortable."
Pulling away from him I got down on my knees in front of him ignoring the fact that there was a hard wood floor underneath me. Looking up at him with a coy smile I slid my hands up his thighs before unzipping his pants. Reaching inside his trousers I found that he was almost fully hard. As I squeezed my small hand around him Sebastian's breath caught. "Here? What if Annette walks in?"
I shrugged amused by the thought "then you'll have a lot of explaining to do."
From that point on Sebastian wasn't about to put up an argument about location. After I stroked him for a few minutes I pulled out his now fully hard member and admired it as I squeezed it in my hand. Smiling I murmured "you're an impressive guy Sebastian."
"Thank you" he gasped as I took the swollen head of his dick into my mouth and began to suck on it. I did this for a moment, teasing him with my tongue before I slowly started sliding the rest of him inside my mouth. I had more than my fair share at oral sex so I had little problem taking him into my throat and making sure he didn't come in the process.
As I continued my ministrations while getting off at the power of it all I watched Sebastian the whole time. I wasn't the first girl to do this for him, not by a long shot. And I knew that he probably acted completely cool and unfazed with all those bimbos and debutantes so I took particular pleasure in watching him struggle to remain composed. His jaw tightened and a bead of sweat ran down his handsome face and he tried his damnedest not to react. However I was determined to break him so while I cupped one of his balls I began to moan just slightly around the dick in my mouth.
"Oh fuck Kathryn" he groaned as his hand caressed my hair. With my free hand I took his and lead it to my breast.
It was just as I felt his orgasm starting to approach that the familiar irritating voice of my mother called out from behind Valmont. "Oh Sebastian I didn't know you were still here. Did you-" my mother stopped mid sentence just as she saw me pull Sebastian out of my mouth. This was the first time in my life I would have done anything for a camera. The look of shock on my mothers face was priceless. "Oh I, I...I didn't see you Kathryn. I-I have to go talk to..."
My mother couldn't leave the room fast enough and as she left I nearly burst out laughing. "Holy Christ" Sebastian muttered as he turned back to me. "You find this funny?"
"It is"
He grinned "well yes it is. Aren't you worried she'll tell Annette?"
I smiled "please what would she say? Annette dear I just found my daughter with her mouth all over your boyfriend's cock" I said mimicking my mother. "I don't think so."
Sebastian shook his head "you know it's always so comforting coming here. Just when I think no family can get as dysfunctional as mine I visit yours and realize just how wrong I am."
"Does that mean you don't want me to continue?"
He smiled "not a chance."
Getting back on my knees I took him back into my mouth and finished him up. He came moments later and I easily swallowed his cum before standing back up. Leaning back on the couch Sebastian sighed while taking out a cigarette "I'd tell you you're incredible but I see little point in stroking your already massive ego."
"I'll take that as a complement" I told him as I sat down beside him. "So tell me how are things going with Annette? Is she driving you insane yet?"
"Not really"
"Well what do you guys do all day together?"
He shrugged "nothing much just talk mostly. You know Kathryn she's not that bad. If you ever got to know her better maybe you'd realize that."
It was as he said this to me that a frightening realization dawned on me. It's very possible I was wrong about Sebastian all along. From the moment we met I thought he was different than every other guy I knew but maybe I was wrong. Sebastian could very well be like all the other brain dead idiot's who fell for Annette's innocent charm. I wondered in that moment if he would fall in love with her. Maybe he already had and hadn't even realized it yet.
It was a scary thought but I knew then I had to be prepared for it. No matter how much I liked him I couldn't let myself get too emotionally attached to Sebastian. Under no circumstances would I allow him to hurt me like Oliver did. Let him fall for Annette so long as I got rid of her in the end.
"Is something wrong Kathryn?"
I looked up to see him staring at me curiously "no nothing's wrong. I'm glad you enjoyed your date."
"Well I enjoyed this more" he told me before leaning in for a kiss. We kissed briefly before he pulled away. "I should get going I'm meeting Annette for brunch tomorrow."
"Good I'll talk to you later"
Leaning back on the couch I watched him leave as my new theory ran through my head. I wouldn't let Sebastian's possible real feelings for Annette bother me. After all he was just another pawn, a way to get what I wanted. Besides there were plenty of more interesting guys out there...
With a smile I turned around suddenly and grabbed the phone and dialed. "Hello?"
"Hello Nicholas it's Kathryn. I didn't wake you did I?"
The roughness from his voice disappeared as he replied "no, no I just got back from the office. If you're looking for Sebastian he's out."
"No actually I wanted to talk to you. Do you have a date for the Carringtons benefit next week?"
"No I don't"
"Would you like to escort me?"
"Well it depends would this be a date?"
I smiled "yes it would be."
"Then I'd love to. You know my brother warned me to stay away from you."
"Did he?"
"Yes but I make it a point not to take orders from my little brother so what time should I pick you up?"
"Seven thirty"
"Great well I'll see you then"
"Yes I look forward to it Nicholas. Bye"
With a smug smile I hung up satisfied with my genius. God Sebastian would shit himself when he found out about Nicholas and I. I couldn't wait.
"Do you have any idea what you're doing?"
I jumped at the sound of my mothers voice and turned around. "Eavesdropping mother how unlike you."
She smiled in response "Kathryn I know you are a very smart girl and completely able to take care of yourself but I wonder if you've possibly bitten off more than you can chew."
"What are you playing concerned parent now? Little late don't you think?"
"Perhaps" she sighed "but I think I should warn you that playing with people won't get you what you want. In the end you're only going to end up hurting yourself and everyone around you."
"I know what I'm doing" I answered defiantly. "Now if that's all I'm going to bed. Goodnight mother."
As I headed to my room I fumed with anger. Who was she to give me advice like her life was anything to aspire to. I knew what I was doing and nothing and no one would stop me from getting what I wanted.
