All his Dark Fantasies
#TeaserTuesday
Seth stared into the growing darkness. The idea of finding
the booth and taking Rosanna from Beau and Simon ate at him until he turned and
strode back into the house. He slowed his pace to mount the stairs for the
mezzanine floor, and then he stalked along it, glancing at the booths with
closed drapes, and hoping there’d be some way of discovering which one Rosanna
inhabited without invading other peoples’ privacy.
When no way became apparent, he returned to a downstairs
room and snatched up a glass of bourbon to sip as he tried to analyze his
actions. Maybe I’m going mad.
Then he saw her. She stood alone at the far end of the room
gazing out of the huge window.
Seth’s heart leapt. He watched her for a few moments,
tracing the shape of her body with a hungry gaze. Then he left his drink on a
nearby table and approached her.
His heart hammered.
She turned to him when he drew close.
He drank in the sight of her. Her eyes were almost the same
color as her dress, and lined with black kohl, her lips perfect for kissing,
with a full bottom lip, her nipples clearly visible, peaking in the cooled air
through the bodice of her dress.
Seth’s usual composure drained away, but a smile hovered at
the corners of his mouth.
“Hi, Seth Callahan, can I get you anything?” My cock in your cunt—my tongue on your clit—my
fingers teasing at your ass—my lips on yours?
She hesitated and then smiled her answer. “If I tell you
want I’d really like, do you promise to get it for me?” Her husky voice added
to her rampant sexual aura.
Seth was enchanted. “I will certainly try. What is it?”
She leaned a little toward him as if she was about to reveal
something outrageous.
Seth enjoyed her proximity. He leaned as if to listen to a
whisper.
“Hot chocolate.”
Surprised, and then amused, Seth grinned. “That’s easy. Come
with me.” He held out his hand.
She slipped her hand into his.
Her skin was like satin,
cool, smooth, and so sensual. Seth fought down the urge to drag her against his
body and kiss her hard. He led her to the downstairs kitchen where the drinks
and snacks were prepared. A huge table in the middle held rows of glasses and
bottles. One of the servers poured a pink cocktail into frosty rimmed glasses.
Seth nodded a greeting at his questioning look. “My lady
wants hot chocolate. I know where everything is. I’ll make it. You go ahead
with what you’re doing.” His voice held authority and he let go of Rosanna’s
hand to open a wide cupboard. He knew where everything was because he checked
the supplies with Pearl once a week so that she could buy more if needed. There
was coffee and tea, cocoa, and a special blend of hot chocolate that was
actually for use in a cocktail. Seth swiftly made the beverage. He brought out
one of the white china cups with its little matching saucer, and poured the hot
chocolate. He’d been silent as he prepared the drink, but as he held it out to
her, he embarked on charming her.
“Here it is. I haven’t seen you here before. Tell me your
name.” He moved close and as she took the cup and saucer, he steadied it with
his free hand over hers. “Take care it’s hot.” And so are you …
“Thank you, and its Rosanna … my name.” Her voice fell to a whisper.
Seth hoped that was because his touch had the same effect on
her as hers had on him. He reluctantly moved his hand.
“You’re beautiful, Rosanna. Are you here with anyone?” He
saw an expression of pain pass fleetingly in her eyes. It piqued his interest.
“No. Well, not a husband, or lover, if that’s what you mean.
My friends brought me.”
Seth took a deep breath. She’d been with them in a curtained
booth. “Friends?”
“Yes, they showed me around, before they went off to capture
some ladies for dubious purposes.”
Seth raised his eyebrows for a second surprised she’d use
the word dubious. “You do know what this place is?”
Rosanna gave a tiny nod. “Yes, of course—I only meant they intended
charming the pants off
… off someone.” She hesitated with a tentative smile.
Seth gazed into her eyes. “Did you come here so that someone
would charm the pants off you?”
Rosanna’s green eyes darkened as her pupils reacted to his
question. “Are you offering?”
