Two dates.

Two dates.
“Really? You want us to have sex?” Sebastian asked, his words completely unfiltered.
Claudia quickly jerked her head sideways and waved her hands in the air. “I… I didn’t mean we should have sex,” she stammered, trying hard to control her tone. “What I meant is that we should both… you obviously know what I mean.” She purred, rushing over to the bed and jumping onto it.
Sebastian chuckled. “Honestly, I have no idea what you mean unless you actually want us to have sex,” he mumbled, the last part of his words accompanied by a sly smirk. 
Claudia rolled her eyes at the ridiculous question. She tucked herself under the blanket, rested her head on the pillow, and shut her eyes.
“Why the hell are you going to sleep just after inviting me to come fuck you?” he asked, walking over to the bed.
Claudia pretended not to hear him, keeping her eyes closed.
He lay his head on the bed, slid beneath the blanket, and rested on the vacant pillow. “Claudia,” Sebastian called softly.
Slowly, Claudia opened her eyes and fixed them on him. “Hey,” she purred in a gentle whisper. “What is it?”
Sebastian sighed as he narrowed his eyes, studying her curves, which were undeniably alluring. He swallowed hard, trying to control himself as the movements of his saliva became noticeable in his throat.
“I don’t think I can share the same bed with you,” Sebastian began. He reached for Claudia’s hair and tucked a strand behind her ear. “I won’t be able to control my sexual urge. Right now, I can’t stop imagining you in the lingerie beneath this bathrobe, and I’m also thinking about how to rip it off your body.” His words came out in short gasps, making it clear that he was struggling to restrain himself. 
Claudia lifted her head off the pillow and sat properly on the bed, resting her back against the headboard. She grabbed Sebastian’s right hand, glaring at it for a few seconds before using her fingers to trace small imaginary circles on his hand.
“Do you know that even though I haven’t had sex, I still feel sexual urges?” Claudia inquired. Sebastian nodded.
She chuckled, a scoff escaping her lips. “I believe that when it’s time for me to have sex, I’ll have it with someone worthy of my love.”
“And what if I’m worthy of your love, Claudia?” Sebastian asked quickly. “Why don’t you fully give me a chance to prove that I’ll love you and cherish you?”
“Hey,” Claudia snapped, glaring at him with a cold gaze. “What about your father?”
Sebastian frowned and rose slightly on the bed, resting his head against the pillow. “And what about my father, Claudia.”
She tilted her head to the side, exhaled softly, and let go of Sebastian’s hand. “You know what I mean, Sebastian. I do find you attractive, and if I weren’t contractually married to your father, you’d be the type of guy I’d most likely go on a date with.”
Hearing Claudia’s words brought a broad smile to Sebastian’s lips. He suddenly felt a warmth inside him as his heart skipped a beat. “Since you find me attractive, then let’s go on a date.”
“No,” Claudia quickly blurted out. “I… I don’t think that’s a good idea.” She stammered, though deep down, she wished she could agree to go on a date with Sebastian.
Ever since his father had left on a business trip, Claudia had found herself warming up to Sebastian, who had been cold to her when they first met.
“You know what,” Sebastian began, cupping Claudia’s cheeks with both hands so her gaze would be fixed on him. “Just give me a chance so we can go out for three dates.”
“No,” Claudia blurted again.
“Umm, how about two dates? We go out on two dates, and if I mess things up after that, we’ll call it quits.”
Claudia chuckled slightly. She grabbed Sebastian’s hands from her cheeks, pulled them away, and let them rest on her thighs.
“What are you supposed to call a quit when two dates won’t even mean anything?” Claudia inquired, her voice laced with sarcasm.
Sebastian inhaled deeply, shut his eyes, and forced himself to think. Seconds later, he opened his eyes and stared at Claudia’s thigh, giving it a gentle caress before lifting his gaze to meet her eyes. “Within those two dates, if I’m certain of my feelings, I’ll ask you to be my girlfriend. If after those two dates I fail to ask you out, then I’ll stop intruding in your life,” he stated, his voice filled with certainty.
Claudia nodded. “Okay, then. Just two dates, okay.” She purred. Sebastian nodded in excitement. “Yeah, just two dates,” he repeated, echoing her words.
Still smiling, he pulled Claudia in for a warm hug. She reciprocated, wrapping her hands around his back and caressing it gently. Seconds later, as Claudia pulled away from the hug, she sighed, her lips curving into a half-smile. 
“So, Sebastian,” Claudia began, her voice sounding extremely serious, “in the contract I signed with your father, he married me because I’m a virgin. But what if he eventually wants to have sex with me and I’m no longer a virgin?”
“W-what?” Sebastian asked, biting his lower lip as he tried to suppress a laugh. “Are you seriously thinking that I’m going to take your virginity just after I asked you to give me a chance for two dates?”
“Ohh, so you won’t ask me for sex, right?”
Sebastian scoffed. “You’re such a… gosh! Why are you innocent and corrupt at the same time?” He chuckled lightly. “But in case you want reassurance, I won’t be asking you for sex.”
He paused for a moment, then leaned closer to Claudia’s ear and whispered, “For the time being, I won’t ask for that. Besides, there are other ways you can pleasure yourself and me without losing your virginity.” He purred as his hot breath caressed Claudia’s ear, making her hold her breath as butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
