Raelynn followed Nicole's line of sight to the table she was talking about. Four guys were lounging around table. Two were facing the dance floor. The other two had their backs to it. The two guys facing the dance floor looked alike, so she was guessing that they were brothers. Both were totally yummy. Raelynn stood, followed by Nicole. Bianna and Elise just laughed and shook their heads. They were both married so they weren't going try to get attention from some random guys. Bianna was the sister married to Jared, Sebastian's therapist.
Raelynn and Nicole sauntered onto the dance floor and got as close to the guys as possible without looking like they were trying too hard. The music was great and Raelynn was totally feeling it. She was wearing a pretty, sleeveless, gold sequined sheath dress that stopped just above mid-thigh and had a low scoop neck. She had on 4 inch platform heels that made her at least 5'9. Her long blonde hair was down and loosely curled. It hung down to the middle of her back with a few pieces that hung over the front of her shoulders. Her makeup was a bit more drastic then what she normally did it. She did a blue smokey eyeshadow that made her light blue eyes just pop and a natural glossy lipstick. She had to admit that she looked freaking hot tonight.
" I think we've been noticed," Nicole said in a sing-song voice. " And holy shit! The guy with the tattoos is bangin'!"
Raelynn turned and locked eyes with the one man she'd been thinking about all week. Raelynn's breath caught. Sebastian had turned his chair around to watch her and Nicole. She saw his eyes widen for a second as he recognized her. Then he leisurely raked his gaze down her body. Raelynn felt her body heat and respond to his blatant perusal. A naughty smirk curled his lips as he reached over and smacked the guy next to him on the back. When the guy looked over at him, Sebastian leaned closer and said something to him. The other guy then turned in his chair and Raelynn saw that it was his brother Henry. Henry's eyebrows shot up when he saw her. Then he smiled and gave her a wave.
Raelynn flushed and waved back.
" Do you know them?!" Nicole squawked.
" Yeah," Raelynn groaned.
" What? How?" Nicole asked, her big brown eyes wide.
" I'm working on a case that they're involved in," Raelynn muttered, glancing back over at Sebastian to find him making his way towards her. " Oh no!"
" Oh no, nothing! Introduce me!" Nicole insisted, practically bouncing in her heels.
Before Raelynn could reply, Sebastian was in front of her. He was wearing a short sleeved blue plaid button down shirt open over a plain white t-shirt that was molded to his muscular torso. His jeans were dark and hugged his long lean legs but weren't overly tight. He looked so friggin’ sexy.
" Well, well, well, Detective Reynolds...I have to say you are looking mighty fine this evening," Sebastian drawled. He had a beer in one hand while the other was shoved into the front pocket of his jeans. His heated gaze raked over her again.
" I'm not on duty, Sebastian...you can call me Raelynn," She said, looking up at him. Even with her seriously high heels on, he towered over her.
Nicole cleared her throat next to her.
" Oh...this is my best friend Nicole Gionelli. Nicole, this is Sebastian Beck," Raelynn introduced somewhat reluctantly.
Sebastian shook Nicole's hand, his eyes landing on her very exposed cleavage. " Nice to meet you." The arrogant smirk on his face that he knew exactly what Nicole thought of him.
" The pleasure is all mine for sure. I love your tattoos," Nicole purred.
Raelynn ground her teeth and bit back the urge to claw her eyes out. Nicole was her best friend after all.
" Thanks," Sebastian smirked then turned his attention back to Raelynn. " Seriously...you look amazing. I think I'm in love with your hair," Sebastian murmured, reaching out and twirling a curl around his finger.
Raelynn blushed and smiled shyly. She wasn't used to getting attention like this from guys. She knew she was pretty but she was always working and the guys at work were disgusting assholes and were usually spouting out some nasty sexist comment. It was nice to have someone say something nice to her instead of being a disgusting pig.
" Can I buy you a drink?" Sebastian asked. His fingers still playing with her hair.
" Uh, well..." Raelynn started, glancing at Nicole. She didn’t want to blow her off.
Nicole smiled brightly. " Of course you can, Sebastian! I was gonna head to the bathroom anyway," she said then winked at Raelynn before walking away.
Sebastian smiled sexily and took her hand. He led her over to the bar where he found a space and slid her into it. He then stood behind her. His warm body brushed against hers, making things down low clench with want. Raelynn couldn't remember the last time she had sex, but she sure as hell wanted it now. Had to be the booze. She usually wasn't an overly sexual person but something about Sebastian had her craving it. Bad.
