Confessions of an Ice Princess
Summary: Kathryn finds that avoiding Sebastian and Annette is harder than it seems.
You Can Run, But You Can't Hide
Saturday morning hangovers are the worst. I was reminded of that fact the morning following my encounter with Sebastian. As I picked my head off the pillow I groaned and considered just staying in bed for the rest of the weekend. That way I wouldn't have to see anyone especially not Annette and my back stabbing ex-partner.
The more I thought about Sebastian the more agitated I became. Sitting up suddenly I realized I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep. Getting to my feet I nearly stumbled to the ground on my way to the bathroom. "What the hell..." Looking down I saw what brought on the earth crushing pain in my head. Two empty bottles of vodka and a now empty vile of coke. Brushing them aside I went to the bathroom and tried to make myself somewhat presentable or at least not look so hung over.
On my way out the door still dressed in my robe I knocked into a maid. "Oh I'm so sorry Miss. Um is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes" I sighed "take care of that" I gestured to the mess I had made on the floor last night. I was in no mood for pleasantries and just hoped it was late enough that everyone in the house was gone for the day.
Unfortunately I wasn't as alone as I hoped because as I walked into the west wing sitting room I found it littered with brown boxes and Annette standing in the middle of it with a clipboard in her hands. Looking up she said "good morning Kathryn or should I say good afternoon."
Ignoring her snarky tone I asked "what the hell is all this?" A joyous thought suddenly crossed my mind. "Are you moving out? Did my mother finally get her brains back and dump your loser father?"
She frowned "no"
My bubble burst I grumbled "oh"
"I'm having a clothing drive for the church. I'm just gathering up some thing's."
I started looking through the boxes and noticed in one of them that the clothing looked suspiciously like mine. Picking up a maroon colored Prada dress I studied it for a moment before realizing it was mine! "What the fuck? These are my clothes!"
"Uh huh" she replied not bothering to look up from her clipboard. "Tiffani donated them for you. She said you don't wear them anymore."
"Like hell! These are mine and I'm taking them back" I bellowed grabbing the box of clothes.
Annette yanked it back "oh please it's not like you're ever going to wear them again. In fact I don't think I've ever seen you wear the same outfit twice."
"And you never will"
"Kathryn would it kill you to do something nice for someone for a change? There are people who really need this stuff."
Yanking the box away from her I hissed "save the sanctimonious shit for someone who gives a damn Pollyanna. Do you really think the losers and drunks need my favorite Ana Sui dress? I don't think so."
Annette grabbed the dress I was holding out of my hands "you are unbelievable. You head all these charities and act like you care but it's all bullshit. All you care about is yourself."
"Damn straight now for the last time keep your hands off my things klepto!" I grabbed it back but she still held on. "Let go!"
"No Tiffani said I could have them and seeing as her moment paid for it..."
"It's mine let go!"
We both continued struggling over the dress until Annette hollered "god Sebastian was right about you Kathryn! You are a selfish bitch!"
At the mention of his name something in me suddenly snapped. Tugging the dress hard I nearly screamed "that's it! I am so incredibly sick of you taking what's mine! My clothes, my space, my boyfriends! What the hell is it going to take to get you out of my life for good?"
"Boyfriends? Is that what this comes down to? God get over yourself Kathryn. Oliver was never yours and he sure as hell didn't love you! He told me as much on many occasions even before you ended things!" As soon as the sentence was out Annette stopped her rant as if suddenly realizing what she just said.
It took me a second to grasp what she had just let slip "oh my god..you little slut! You were seeing Olie even before we broke up."
"Yes I was" she replied in a calmer tone. "And I'm sorry but it's over with now Kathryn so can we just-"
Before she could finish the thought I slapped her hard across the face. "You god damn bitch!"
"Oh that's rich coming from you" Annette replied rubbing her reddening cheek.
I went to hit her again but she stopped me and we struggled for a moment before we fell to the ground. Immediately I pulled at he hair as my hand went around her neck. We were both yelling and screaming inaudible things at one anthers as we struggled and fought.
"Kathryn?"
I looked up at the sound of my name and saw Nicholas walk in his eyes widening in surprise at the sight before him. Annette took advantage of my momentary distraction and knocked me back. Forgetting about my guest I concentrated my efforts on severely hurting the little bitch.
"What the hell is going on here?" My mothers voice bellowed from somewhere in the room. "Girls knock this off this instant!"
The next thing I knew I felt someone grab me and pull me off Annette. I didn't even notice at first it was Nicholas. My mother helped Annette to her feet soothing out her blond hair. "Are you ok?" She asked her before turning to me and demanding "what is going on here?"
"I'm sick on her taking my things!"
My mother sighed "is this about the clothes? Kathryn you can buy new ones."
"No it's not about the clothes!"
"I see"
"Oh I seriously doubt it" I hissed as I watched my mother put a comforting arm around Annette.
Shaking her head Annette muttered "maybe Kathryn if you weren't so incredibly selfish all the time, you wouldn't always loose the things you hold so dear."
"Shut up you stupid little cunt" I started for her again but Nicholas pulled me back.
"Ok come on let's go" he told me calmly as he led me back to my room.
Once the door was closed behind us I grabbed a piece of crystal and threw it against the wall with a frustrated yell. "Did that make you feel better?"
I spun around and told him "no. God I am so sick of that girl! I would give anything to see her shipped back to that hell hole she came from."
"I understand" Nicholas replied as he poured me a glass of water. "I have Sebastian as a brother remember?"
"How can I forget" I muttered taking the glass.
He studied me "is he the reason you guys were fighting and why you didn't answer my call last night?"
I flinched "why would you think that?"
"Well Sebastian was as riled up as you are this morning only he wouldn't tell me why. Did you two have a fight or something last night?"
As calmly as possible I looked into his eyes and lied "no this has nothing to do with Sebastian. It's HER I can't take living with her anymore."
"Ok" he said sitting down beside me on the bed. "I have an idea how to solve this albeit temporarily."
"What?"
"My father has this gorgeous house in the Hamptons right on the beach. How about we spend a long weekend their together? You know escape our respected families."
I smiled at the idea. An escape was just what I needed not just from Annette but Sebastian as well. "I think that is an excellent idea. When do we leave?"
* * * * * *
"It's breathtaking Nicholas" I exclaimed as I took in the view before me standing on the terrace of the Valmont beach house. However it wasn't a house so much as a mansion that sat a top a cliff looking down at the ocean. Wrapping my arms around my bare shoulders I told him "too bad it's not warm enough to swim."
He came up from behind and wrapped his arms around me "yeah but we can sail, and walk on the beach and screw."
I smiled at the thought "that's true. Thanks for taking me here."
"Of course maybe being away from your sister for a little while will help you relax. I know I can do without Sebastian for the time being." As he said it my mind began to wander as I remembered I hadn't seen or talked with Sebastian since out fight. Strangely enough I missed him. "Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing but I could use a drink"
Nicholas nodded "that I can do. I think there's some champagne in the fridge."
I would have preferred something stronger but I just smiled instead "that's perfect."
"All right I'll be right back" he told me before giving me one last lingering kiss and disappearing into the house.
Turning back to the view I reminded myself once again why I was there. I needed to put out of my mind all thoughts and feelings I had about Sebastian. Between Nicholas and the five grams of coke I had stashed in my bag I should be able to accomplish that.
Suddenly my peace and quite was interrupted by the sound of yelling coming from inside the house. One of the voices was Nicholas and the other sounded suspiciously like Sebastian. Quickly I turned and went back inside. I was on the second floor which overlooked the foyer on the first. To my great surprise there stood Sebastian and Annette bags and all. I called down to them "what the hell in going on?"
Sebastian looked up at me and our eyes locked. "I was wondering the same thing."
"Sebastian I have the key so the house is mine this weekend. Why don't you two just go find a bed and breakfast to stay at or something."
I smiled at the idea of Sebastian at a bed and breakfast. The idea wasn't that appealing to him either based on the face he made. "Look fuckwit dad gave me a key and it's his house so take benadict bitch and get the hell out."
"Fuck you!" I called to him as I made the way down the stairs.
Sebastian turned and was about to say something back when Nicholas told him "we were here first Sebastian."
"And we're not leaving" he replied.
"Then I am" I told him crossing my arms to my chest.
"No" Nicholas said "I promised you a relaxing weekend and that's what we are going to do."
Piping in for the first time Annette said "you guys even if we left there's no place to stay. Every hotel is full because of the long weekend."
"Fine then go stay in the guest house" I told them.
Sebastian glared at me "that's not a guest house it's a garage."
"Your point being?"
"Look this house is big enough for all of us. Sebastian and I will just stick to one part of it and you guys in the other."
To my great astonishment Nicholas nodded in agreement "ok that sounds fair."
"Excuse me?"
Annette put a hand on Sebastian's arm "is that ok with you?"
Still staring daggers at me he muttered "whatever, lets just go."
As they walked off in the opposite direction Nicholas approached me and tried to slid his arm around me. "Everything will be fine" he said calmly.
Still incredibly pissed that my vacation was now officially ruined I pulled away from him and without a word walked away. It was time to hit my stash.
* * * * * *
As soon as I saw Sebastian standing in the foyer I realized two things: one, all the plans to relax this weekend went out the window and two, there was no way in hell we would be able to avoid each other. Still I tried my damnedest to put him out of my mind and stay on my side of the house. I spent the day in my room mostly doing lines and sleeping while also making it a point to speak as little to Nicholas as possible seeing as I was still angry at him for getting me into this situation in the first place. All throughout dinner I only responded to him in one word answers and then excused myself to go to my bedroom. We had separate bedrooms at my request.
Later that evening bored and feeling restless yet still not in the mood to go play nice with Nicholas I decided to go out for some air. Pulling out a cigarette from my pack I walked onto the terrace once again to admire the view. It was as I was lighting up that a voice behind me said "don't tell me my stud brother has managed to wear you out already?" Slowly I turned around to find Sebastian reclining back on a table with a cigarette dangling from his lips. "How disappointing, well for you at least."
Taking a long drag from my cigarette I regarded him with a fake smile "sorry to disappoint you loser but Nicholas manages to get the job done just fine."
"Huh, must be all that viagra he pops"
I glared at him "what are you doing out here anyway? The terrace is on my side of the house."
"Actually it's in the middle and besides this is MY house and I'll go wherever I please."
Slowly I approached him "what's the matter Valmont, having trouble getting it up for blondie?"
"Please" he snorted in disdain before flicking his cigarette butt away "I just needed some air is all."
I stepped even closer to him until I was leaning against his knees. The drugs from earlier still weren't completely out of system so I was feeling more bold than usual. It was quite evident Sebastian was still pissed at me and I wasn't feeling exactly warm and fuzzy towards him, yet I wondered if he still wanted me. If he thought he could still have a chance with me would he take it? "Sebastian" I purred "do you really expect me to believe you've developed feelings for Annette over night?"
"No of course not" he told me leaning in closer.
"Then why put yourself through the torture of a monogamous relationship? Just to get back at me? How sad"
"Kathryn" he whispered "who said anything about monogamy?"
I pulled away from him "you're...you're sleeping with other girls?"
Sebastian shrugged "well yes. Your stepsister is nice and all but fucking the same girl once a week can get tedious at times but rest assured she's completely in the dark and I intend on keeping her that way." He studied me for a moment as his hand came out and caressed my face and a faint smile fell upon his lips. "I suppose this messes up your plans."
"Plans?"
"Well seeing as I know you better than most I'm guessing the plan was to let me stay with Annette for a few weeks until I got so bored I came crawling back to you."
He wasn't completely off still I asked "is that what you think?"
"Are you going to tell me I'm wrong? It doesn't matter anyway because the thing is Kathryn I would rather spend the rest of my life chained to her then to ever get involved with you again."
Surprisingly his words stung but I remained cool "you don't honestly believe that."
Smiling coldly he got up from the table and headed back into the house. Remembering how he left me like this before I was determined this time to have the upper hand so I called out "and if I were to apologize?" As I expected he stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. Approaching him I asked "if I told you I was sorry, that I regretted going to bed with him would you change your mind?" Sliding my hands up his chest I whispered "and if I said I only wanted you then would you come back to me?"
It was then Sebastian flinched and this look passed through his eyes that told me my answer. Slowly I leaned into him and he leaned down to kiss me. Then with a small triumphant grin I whispered "that's what I thought." Without a word he pulled away and I told him "do yourself a favor Sebastian, tonight when your laying on top of her, thrusting into her try your hardest not to imagine it's me underneath you. It will only torture you."
With a smirk I brushed past him to head back inside but before I could he grabbed my arm and spun he around. Without a word he kissed me so hard it nearly knocked the wind out of me. At first I fought against him but after a moment, against my better judgment I gave in and kissed him back just as hard. Then just as suddenly as he had done it Sebastian pushed me away and spat coldly "leave."
Watching him stand before me shaking partly from anger and mostly from lust I realized there was no way I was leaving. I knew I probably should just go but I couldn't and instead I charged back up to him and pulled him back into a kiss. Sebastian returned it just as I thought he would and then something happened. Looking back on it later it would all seem like such a sureal dream but it happened.
Without warning Sebastian picked me up and practically slammed me back against the wall of the house while his mouth continued to ravage mine. However I didn't complain or try to stop him and instead I only pulled him closer to me. As our tongues fought he pulled me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. It was then I realized he was already hard and waiting so I brought my hands down and undid his belt followed by his pants.
Sebastian pulled away from my mouth then but our mouths remained just millimeters from one another. His eyes remained on mine as he took a hand and moved it along my body. He squeezed my breasts before sliding his hand under my silk dress. Without a word he yanked my panties off and flung them aside. Immediately his warm hand delve into my mound and he began to finger me making me wet.
I knew I needed to keep quiet so no one would find us in such a compromising position so I kissed him once again trying to stifle the moans that wanted to escape. As he continued to pump his fingers inside of me I thrust me hand into his pants and pulled his erection out. I gave it a few hard strokes before pulling his hand out of me and guiding his dick towards my entrance. Strangely enough as his lips broke apart from mine I thought he was going to ask permission to fuck me but instead he just pushed himself inside me causing me to gasp in surprise. "Fuck" I whispered as he started to thrust into me.
As my legs tightened around him Sebastian started kissing and biting my neck. Once again I let out a moan but this time he whispered in my ear "shh."
I pulled his face away from my neck and kissed him hard as he continued to bang me hard into the wall. The rough brick was starting to scrap my mostly bare back but I didn't care especially when Sebastian's hand came down between out two bodies and pressed his thumb down on my sensitive clit. My breath quickened and I tightened my muscles around him knowing that any moment now one of us would come.
However just as I was approaching the brink of what promised to be an intense orgasm my step sisters voice called out "Sebastian!"
Immediately the two of us froze and our eyes both went wide. Annette's voice was coming from inside and it sounded like it was getting closer. "Sebastian where are you?"
We remained hidden against the back wall as Annette walked out onto the terrace and looked around. Luckily it was dark and she didn't look that well because after a moment she muttered something to herself before turning and heading back in the house. Neither of us did anything until we heard her depart. After that close call I wasn't sure if Sebastian would pull out of me and leave me there unsatisfied. It would be like him to do something like that but instead he resumed fucking me only this time his thrusts were harder and slower.
He kept stimulating my clit and soon enough I was coming hard and fast. I buried my head in the crook of his neck trying to stifle my moans as he thrust a few more times before finally coming with a low moan. When he stopped Sebastian looked up at me and we looked at each other trying to figure out what the other was thinking and what the next move would be. Finally he leaned in and kissed me very gently as if trying to apologize for something. I was to stunned by it to respond much.
When he pulled away he let go of me and I got back on my now wobbly legs. Both of us remained quiet as we fixed ourselves and tried to make it appear as if we just hadn't just been screwing each other's brains out. Wanting to avoid the awkwardness that seemed to suddenly befall us I simply said "goodnight." Without waiting for a response I left and headed to my room. It wasn't until later than night as I drifted off to sleep that I realized I had forgotten my underwear.
