Six years later.

Hanton Abbey, Wiltshire.

JULIA WAS WEARING her night rail, the one her mother had given her. She hadn't had a chance to wear it even on her wedding night, for immediately after the ceremony, Sebastian had carried her upstairs, where he proceeded to devour and ravish her, and Julia had loved every minute of it.

She didn't blame him. The ceremony was supposed to have taken place two weeks after his proposal, but somehow Ophelia kept postponing it, there was always something that was yet to be done. There was always something that was not done to her satisfaction.

During that time, Julia had wondered if perhaps her mother had thought she was planning her own wedding, what with the way she monopolized everything, Julia couldn't help, but think in that direction.

Eventually, Sebastian became frustrated and did the only thing he could do at that time to hasten up the wedding. Sebastian compromised her.

Julia liked to think that he had planned it all from the start. That day, he had called on their estate in Warwickshire and was ushered into the drawing-room.

They were perfectly having a nice conversation until Sebastian stood up, and started kissing her.

The drawing-room door had been left open for cases like this so that if a gentleman was held in a grip of passion and attempts to ravish an unmarried lady in the drawing-room, upon seeing the open door, he would at least recover a semblance of his senses, and stop.

But even after knowing this, Sebastian had continued, and Julia couldn't have stopped him even if she wanted to.

He had kissed her so passionately and utterly that Julia was left breathless. He had pulled one hand If her dress down and then had kissed her on her right shoulder. That was how they were found, by no other, than her mother's friends who had come to have an afternoon tea with Ophelia.

The marriage preparation which had taken Ophelia more than two weeks to plan was planned quickly, and in less than two days, Sebastian married Julia at the private chapel at Edinburgh.

Now, Julia was at Wiltshire, as a married woman and as the mistress of the house, with Vicky as her sister in law.

Julia leaned back on her chair and surveyed her cards, she was playing a game of cards with her husband. They had played three rounds, and Sebastian had won twice, she had only been fortunate to win once. This was the last round and she expected to win. She wanted to show her husband that she was a worthy opponent, even though the drink Sebastian had offered her was turning her senses around.

Very well, Julia thought and whirled her drink around. If he was going to result in tricks she might as well use her feminine wails on him.

So she leaned forward and placed her elbow on the table. Julia smiled, for she knew that her breast would be straining on the material of her green night rail. it was made of the sheerest silk, one that complimented her skin tone.

Julia swept her eyes thoroughly over her husband and smiled. She wanted to make sure he had taken in the full effect of her night rail.

Sebastian's eyes darkened perceptively as he adjusted his position on his chair. He frowned and barked at his wife. "What the devil are you waiting for? do play something."

Julia smiled, she knew her husband well by now, he was getting frustrated. Good.

Sebastian tried to concentrate on his cards, but he couldn't help but notice that his breeches were getting uncomfortably tight. Sebastian gripped his cards and frowned, there was no way that he will be losing to his wife. Ha! so she could rave on and on to Cole about how she won. Ha, he had always had a competitive bone in his body and he wasn't going to give Julia the satisfaction of winning him.

Julia smiled and pushed her hair to one side, the way Sebastian sat, so still, so straight, she was afraid he might have turned to a statue.

"Do give up dear husband, you stand no chance."

"Never!" Sebastian growled. He grabbed his glass and downed the content, then he scooted his chair forward and sat down. He was closer now than before.

Julia was enjoying the moment. Even though her husband screamed never, what he didn't know was that he was slowly losing focus, he wasn't as efficient as he was at the start of the game.

Sebastian scowled when he found out he couldn't tear his eyes away from his wife. His eye was on Julia's shoulders, the strap of her night rail had slipped down. Sebastian held his breath and waited. Would it slip off, down her shoulders to her arm, and reveal her sumptuous breast, a breast he had held on many occasions. Sebastian took in a huge breath and waited. His cards temporarily abandoned.

"Sebastian!" Julia shrieked

He tore his eyes away from her strap and scowled at Julia. Was she doing this on purpose? He narrowed his eyes and surveyed her face but Julia remained nonchalant.

Sebastian sighed and discreetly shoved his hand under the table as he secretly adjusted himself.

"Will you give up now?" Julia asked.

"Never!" Sebastian growled. He looked at Julia but found that she was smiling in a mischievous way. Something about the way she asked her question, and even the way she smiled now made him come to the conclusion that his wife had planned this all along.

Sebastian frowned and thought about it

He was going nuts, just by looking at that excuse of a cloth she called a night rail while she was busy enjoying herself, intent on winning their game. Never! Sebastian thought, then his lips curled into a delicious smile. He might as well give her something to fret about.

Sebastian raised his hands and plucked open the button at his throat. His throat and collar bone emerged.

Julia's eyes widen. "What do you think you are doing?" she asked in a breathless voice, one that bespoke of surprise, laced with uncertainty.

Sebastian grinned and opened the second button. "Don't you think it is quite hot here?"

Julia shook her head in negative affirmation.

Sebastian shrugged, "Well, I do feel quite hot, " he said and propped open the third button.

Julia squirmed in her chair and clamped her knees together. Even after six years, Sebastian's chest was still broad and firm. it was still enough to drive her wide.

when Sebastian saw Julia's longing expression, he smiled and scooted his chair back. He wanted to make sure her view wasn't obstructed by the table.

Julia bit her lips and lowered her lashes. Where they still playing cards or had this turned to the question of the seducer becoming the seduced.

Julia clenched her eyes shut and uncurled her hand from where she gripped her night rail under the table. She took a huge breath and flashed Sebastian a smile that disarmed him.

He blinked.

It was now or never. Julia leaned back on her chair and slowly spread her legs open. The material of her night rail parted in two folds, from the slit fashioned on it.

Sebastian's eyes turned a dangerous glint to it when he realized her legs were on full display. She was quite a sight, and she was his, his for the taking.

Sebastian knew the moment he decided to forfeit the game, it was when one strap of her night rail slipped down, and a beautiful sumptuous breast had peaked out.

Sebastian growled and plucked Julia from her chair and deposited her on his laps. The slit on her night rail making it possible for him to spread her legs so that they were either side of his laps.

The lightness of her night rail making it possible for Julia to feel his growing arousal.

"Enough of this silly game, stop trying to seduce me when we are playing a game of cards," he said and cupped her face. He looked down on her and rained kisses on her face. "Enough, " he growled as he raised his head again.

Julia sighed and curled her hands around his neck, and brought his head close to her breast where she wanted him. This was no time for talks, Julia thought. This was time for action.

Sebastian held and rubbed his face on her breast. Julia cried and thrust her breast forward. He leaned back and stared at her through passion-filled eyes. "Enough, " he said.

"Yes!-yes!" Julia cried. "I won't play games with you again. I won't, " Julia cried as she felt his hand round her right breast.

"Good, " Sebastian said and ruthlessly pulled down her night rail. He exposed her breast and bent down to suck her.

Julia moaned and gripped his head at the first contact of his mouth on her breast. It was everything she had ever dreamed of. Sebastian held her down to his body and pressed her close to him.

Julia went crazy, her hands were everywhere, she locked her legs around his back and held him captive there.

Sebastian didn't mind. He raised his head, and found her mouth meanwhile with his hand he jiggled her breast.

Julia's head fell back and she clamped her knees on him. "Sebastian, " she moaned.

Hearing her moan his name in that breathless way of hers did something to Sebastian's piece of mind.

He growled and Cupped her bottom. Tugged her head back, and then proceed to kiss the delicate column of her neck, thoroughly.

Sebastian slowly stood up from his chair and let Julia slid down his body till her feet touched the ground. Then he peeled away her night rail from her body, and let it fall to her feet.

"I want to see you, Julia, " he growled and then scooped her up from the ground. He walked to the bed and dropped her there.

Then he stepped back and quickly divested himself of any clothing left on his body until he stood before her like the day he was born. Naked and devoid of any clothes.

Julia watched him walk to the bed. She could never get tired of looking at him. He had the body of a Greek God, strong and powerful.

Sebastian reached her, grabbed her legs, and spread her open to his gaze. He positioned himself, and then bent down to kiss her lips. "I love you, " he said and then thrust inside her.

Julia gasped and gripped his arm. He was huge, Julia always felt this way, she always felt like it was her first time. Then he started to move. slowly at first until they found a rhythm that they both enjoyed.

Julia rose up to meet him, he pushed deep and steady, again, and again. Her first orgasm melted into another, as she moved and cried. Her body instinctively responding to his thrust.

Sebastian moaned.

Julia reached out a hand to pull him close. The moment her hand touched his buttocks he did lose control, she felt it in the way his body ground against hers, and in the groan that tore from his throat.

"I love you, " Sebastian's voice broke as he bent down to take her lips.

Julia smiled and the joy in her eyes made his heart sing. "I love you too, " she whispered.

Sebastian kissed her lips and then pulled the sheets over both their heads.

They had barely closed their eyes before they heard their daughter's happy squeal close to their bed-chamber.

Sebastian shot out from the bed and grabbed his breaches. He had just donned his breeches and turned when a little girl with a handful of red ringlets and eyes alight with mischief bundled up into their room.

"papa me, Papa me!" she squealed and jumped up and down as she expected to be carried.

Sebastian looked at his five years old daughter and calmly took in what was wearing. breeches? however, did she get one? Sebastian grinned and turned to share a conspiratory smile with his wife. Someone was surely emulating their mother.

Seconds later a little boy bundled up inside the room with a big scowl on his face. "I told her not to take my clothes, she keeps stealing them-"

"I didn't steal them, " his daughter replied. Then she tugged Sebastian's breeches, "Papa tell him I didn't steal it, I only borrowed it for a little while, " she said and pouted.

The little boy folded his hands and scoffed. "Why don't I believe that."

"Now, that's enough, " Sebastian said as bent down to scoop them up in his arms and headed towards the nursery. Still, they were still a lot the little ones wanted to say to themselves as they bickered up and down.

Julia closed her eyes and smiled as she let her husband handle their children. She finally got everything that she wanted and more. A good husband and a good father. However, did she becomes so lucky?
