Lily slid into the bed next to him, her shy eyes going over his naked body.
“Come here.” Shade put his hand behind her neck, drawing her closer to him.
His mouth went to her breasts, grazing against the top.
“I don’t get a kiss?” she asked playfully.
Shade lifted his head, giving her a brief, hard kiss before returning to her breasts.
Lily burst out laughing. “You can’t do better than that?”
“Angel, these breasts are … I’m trying to think of a word that’s good enough to describe them.” His hand went to the tiny hooks that went down the lace corset, unfastening them. When he finished, he spread the corset apart. “Fucking magnificent.” He pushed one globe up, finding the tip with his lips. He sucked just the tip of the nipple into his mouth before releasing it. His hand then went to the other breast, grasping it before he lowered his mouth to the tip, sucking it into his mouth then releasing it. “Fucking gorgeous.”
“I take it you’re a breast man.”
“All men are breast men,” he replied, looking at her tits in awe. They were as good as her ass. It was hard to choose. Of course, since she was his wife, he didn’t figure he had to.
Lily stretched before her arms reached out to him. Shade bent down, covering her mouth with his, giving her the kiss she had wanted. She needed gentleness and tenderness from him, and Shade felt it as if she was screaming it at him.
Lily had pictured her dream wedding since she was sixteen, so she had to have envisioned her wedding night, as well. Shade wanted both of her dreams to come true. That morning, he had given her the wedding day she wanted; now he was going to give her the wedding night.
He parted her lips with his tongue, seducing her with the wildness of his taste and the gentle glide of his against her own. His mouth then went to her neck, exploring her flesh with tiny flicks of his tongue while his hand slid up her thigh, gliding straight to her pussy, finding her nub and rubbing it with strokes that were already close to making her climax.
“Shade, I need you,” Lily moaned, one of her legs rubbing against his as she tried to tell him what she needed.
“You’re not hot enough yet.” Shade moved his mouth to her breast again, taking her nipple back into his mouth.
“Yes, I am,” Lily disagreed.
Shade traced her opening, finding her damp yet not nearly enough to take him. Lily was an innocent to desire. When he touched her, she always laid still, never touching him back. He wanted her to see that making love was different than having sex.
Her hands left his shoulders, exploring every inch of his skin, discovering his body. He trembled when her lips grazed the flesh at the base of his throat as her fingers explored his muscles, smoothing over his body.
She grazed his nipples with her teeth and stroked his back when he shifted to lie between her thighs. He gently slid his cock deep within her, feeling her palms slide along his ribcage, circling his waist and holding him tight.
He felt her nipples brush his chest when she arched, lifting her hips to take him deeper. He lowered his body to her, giving her his weight slowly so he wouldn’t frighten her, crushing her breasts beneath his chest.
Shade gave her his body as he took hers slowly, wanting her to remember their night instead of the other times she was forced to lie under someone else. He wanted his kiss, his touch, his image to be the only one she would remember, so when any thought of sex came to her mind, she would remember tonight and only tonight. Their wedding night. Their first time.
Lily leaned her head into his and whispered in his ear, “I love you, John Hunter.”
His heart soared at hearing her words.
“Lily, I didn’t know a man could love a woman as much as I love you. I don’t deserve you, but I’m never going to let you go. I couldn’t survive without you in my life. I wouldn’t want to.”
He kissed her again as his thrusts increased, carrying them both into a climax which gave as much as it took. It gave them a way to express their love and took a part of their souls as it receded, crashing the two into one, forever entwined.
Shade rolled over afterward, pulling Lily onto his chest.
“That was beautiful,” she said, nuzzling his neck.
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Yes, I never expected … Yes, I enjoyed it a lot.” She laughed against his neck, sending goose bumps over his body.
“Good. That was for you. This time is for me,” Shade said, sitting up.
“What are you doing?” Lily asked curiously.
Shade slid out of the bed, picking her up and carrying her into the bathroom then down the three steps which led into the massive shower. He turned the water and music on, and the water began to pulse to the beat.
“Oh, heck no,” Lily said, giggling as she tried to get out of the shower. “I just blow-dried my hair.”
“I’ll help you when we get out, if I’m not too tired.” Shade’s hand went into her already-wet hair, turning her mouth up to his. His hand was already going for the lotions on the side of the shower.
“Lean up against the shower wall,” he ordered her after lifting his mouth away from hers and stepping away.
With a grin, Lily went to the wall, doing as told.
He opened the bottle of lotion, spilling some of it on his hand before reaching out and rubbing it into her tiny, black curls.
Lily tried to smack his hand away. “What are you doing now?”
“I’m going to shave you,” he answered, his hand returning to the tiny curls.
“Oh, no, you’re not,” Lily protested.
“Yes, I am. Now stand still or I’m going to go get my paddle. It’s my turn.”
Lily stood still, though Shade had seen her indecision.
Her safe word didn’t leave her mouth as his hand went to the shelf again, pulling out a long, old-fashioned razor.
“Let me do it. I’ll get a regular razor,” Lily attempted to stop him.
“But that won’t be any fun for me.” Shade went to his knees in the shower. “Don’t worry; I’m good at this. Not as good as Razer, but almost as good.” He scraped the first few curls away. “See. That didn’t hurt, did it?”
“What do you mean, as good as Razer?” Lily asked, his remark diverting her attention from what he was doing.
“This is how Razer got his nickname.” Shade scraped away even more curls.
“Eww, that’s TMI. I didn’t need to know that about my brother-in-law. Wait a minute; does Beth know how Razer got his nickname?”
“What do you think?” The wicked amusement in his voice was muffled with laughter.
“That’s definitely TMI, Shade. He used to shave the women in the house?”
“Yep.”
“So you’re almost as good as him now. I guess I don’t need to know who took over for him, do I?” Lily asked snidely.
“Nope.” Shade spread her legs, one at a time.
When he finished, he took the showerhead, spraying the now clean-shaven pussy.
“Damn,” he said in appreciation.
“I thought you were a breast man?” Lily teased.
“I don’t play favorites.” She didn’t need to find out about his fascination with her ass yet.
“Let me do you now,” Lily said with saccharin sweetness.
“No, it’s—”
“Not my turn,” Lily finished for him.
“Angel, when it’s your turn, you can do anything to me you want,” he dared her.
“I’m going to hold you to that.”
That time, he used his mouth to divert her attention from the revenge she was planning for him. He buried his mouth in her pussy, sliding his tongue through the fleshy pink lips of her cunt.
Lily’s hand grasped the back of his neck, pushing him closer as his tongue teased the opening of her pussy, plunging deep inside of her then pulling out before plunging back in again. He tongue-fucked her until her thighs started trembling.
Dragging his to
ngue away with a final sweep across her clit, he stood up. He then turned her until she was facing the shower bench that was against one wall of the shower.
“Bend over,” he groaned, looking down at perfection.
Once Lily bent over, placing her hands on the bench, his hand on her back pushed her down farther until her head lay on her hands.
Shade rubbed the tip of his cock through the silky wetness of her pussy, sliding the long length between the lips. He placed the tip on her clit then slid it away, feeling her quiver. He changed directions on his next forward thrust, the momentum sending his cock tunneling through her cunt, burying himself deep within her. He leaned over her back, pushing himself inside of her to the hilt.
Lily screamed over the loud blast of the music as he pistoned inside of her, driving himself in and out until her screams became whimpers. His foot moved her bare feet, widening her stance. She wiggled her hips, trying to adjust to his cock, but he held her still. He wanted the head of his cock to brush her g-spot with every thrust.
“Stay still.” He found the tender flesh of her neck with his mouth. “I’m going to fuck you deep and long enough that you’re going to always remember tonight. I’m going to leave my mark on your pussy so you will never, ever doubt in your mind that you belong to me. Do you understand me?”
“Yes,” Lily gasped, tiny climaxes driving her back on his cock.
His hand slid around her ribcage then upwards, grabbing her breasts in a tight hold to pull her back onto his thrusting cock.
“How long, Lily?” he demanded.
“Always, Shade. I’ll always belong to you.”
Chapter 67
“The fucking bitch. I was looking forward to firing her today.” Razer kicked a rock across the parking lot.
“Cool it; here comes Lily,” Shade warned.
He, Razer, Rider, and Train all stood around in a circle by the end of the factory building.
Lily was walking down the pathway from their house, heading to the parking lot. He had left her in bed still sleeping because he had to be at work two hours before she had to open the church store at nine. He had dressed quietly so he wouldn’t wake her, since he had kept her up late the previous night and he didn’t want her going to work tired.
It was the fourth day of their marriage. He wondered how long it would take before he would stop counting the days. Hell, he had been lucky he had made it past their second day when Lily had caught Raci wearing his jacket. She had been furious at him and had stormed back to their house where they had made up.
Shade promised himself he would pick a fight with her the following Friday night. He wanted to ease her into the many scenes he had planned for them.
“What’s up?” Lily asked, walking up to them with her coffee cup in hand.
“Nothing. We came out here so we could talk without being overheard. Georgia has several friends in there,” Shade replied.
“What about Georgia?” Lily stiffened. Shade had told her the night before at dinner that he and Razer were planning on firing Georgia that day.
“She quit. When she didn’t come in this morning, I called her. She told me she wasn’t coming in to give us the satisfaction of firing her. Then she told me what to do with the job, so I hung up on her.” He’d wanted to jerk the woman through his cell phone so he could tell her personally what she could do with his fucking clipboard. Instead, he had hung up, ultimately glad to be rid of the vicious bitch.
“It doesn’t make any sense to me,” Lily said, blowing on her coffee.
“What doesn’t? That she’s a fucking bitch or that she quit?” Rider asked grimly.
“Both. Not a month ago, she was giving me heck because she thought I took her brother’s job. Now, suddenly she’s calling one of her bosses’ wives bad names in front of a large group who will spread it all over town so she wouldn’t be able to deny it. It’s almost like she wanted to get fired,” Lily answered, blowing on her coffee again.
She reached up, giving her husband a quick kiss on the lips. “Later.” She grinned, walking away, not paying attention to the stunned looks on the men’s faces as she left.

Shade was standing next to Razer in his office when his cell phone rang. The caller ID showed Lucky was calling.
“Yeah?”
“Thought I’d let you know that your new wife found a lock box in the basement this morning. Want to take a wild guess what was inside?”
“Lily’s adoption papers?”
“Yes.”
“Fake?”
“Yes. I’ll take them by Knox’s office when I go to lunch.”
“Thanks. Want to hear something interesting?” Shade asked before Lucky could hang up.
“Hit me.”
“Georgia quit this morning. Beat me to firing her ass. Thing is, Lily came up with this idea. She seemed like she wanted to be fired, so we checked it out. Seems the bitch had a chunk of money put in her checking account the day after Halloween.”
“How much?”
“Fifty thousand. Not only that, another deposit of thirty was put in first thing this morning. This is the first day the banks have been open since Christmas. Someone paid her not only to start the fire, but to start an argument at the church,” Shade concluded.
“Why start an argument at the church?”
“I think to try to rattle Lily into running out of the church. A month ago … Hell, two weeks ago, it would have worked. Whoever wants her dead is getting desperate to try to get to her. We don’t leave her alone, so someone was trying to make their own opportunity.”
“I’ll call Knox to come here and pick these papers up. I’m not going to leave the church from now on when Lily’s here.” Lucky’s voice was grim over the phone line.
“I’ll call you if I find anything else out. Once Knox has the proof from the bank, he’s going to arrest Georgia. I took him her coffee cup, so if the DNA matches the evidence found from the fire, we have her ass, and we may be able to find out what the fuck is going on,” Shade’s anger carried through the phone line.
“All right, I’ll talk to you later, Shade.”
“Later, Dean.”
* * *
“Why the truck?” Lily asked, climbing inside Rider’s truck. Usually, Shade rode his motorcycle to pick her up.
Shade stared back at her from behind his sunglasses. “I wanted to talk to you on the way home,” he said, making no effort to put the truck in gear.
“Is something wrong?” Lily questioned, frowning.
“Knox arrested Georgia this afternoon.”
“Why? What did she do?” Lily’s breath caught in surprise.
“She’s the one who set the basement on fire.”
“What? Why would she do something like that?” Lily asked, shocked.
“Someone paid her fifty thousand dollars. The same person who probably tried to run you down on the street and attempted to break into your house,” Shade explained.
“Who?”
“I don’t know. Knox is questioning her now. He’s going to be at the club tonight, so we can find out more then.”
She sat quietly, staring out the window as he drove them home.
“You better tell Knox to keep an eye on her. When she was younger, she tried to kill herself twice. This is going to humiliate her, Shade,” Lily warned.
As soon as he parked the truck, Shade made the call to Knox. Then they went to their house to get changed before going over to eat dinner at the clubhouse. This was their first party since they had gotten married, and she had made an effort to dress up for him.
She had worn a skirt which he was surprised she owned. Almost all her dresses and skirts came down to her calves. This one came barely a half an inch above her knees.
Shade grinned. He was willing to bet she considered it risqué. He liked it, though, because it hugged her perfect ass.
The soft pink sweater she wore with it showed the top globes of her breasts when it slid off her shoulder. Shade want
ed to tug it down all the way yet decided to save that deed for later.
“You look pretty tonight,” Lily complimented Beth after they had walked into the clubhouse.
Shade frowned behind her back. She had been glowing with confidence before they had walked in the door. It finally clicked with him that she was trying to be sexy. His angel just had to walk in the door to get his attention. He didn’t give a shit how she dressed.
“You do, too. I might have to borrow that sweater,” Beth said enviously.
“You can have it. It won’t quit sliding down my shoulders.” Lily pulled it back up in frustration.
“That’s what makes it so pretty,” Winter said, coming up behind her.
Shade fixed himself a plate of food, letting the women bolster Lily’s ego for the moment; he would show her later how much his dick appreciated her effort.
The women decided to play cards, ignoring the men. Shade and the brothers sat on the chairs and couch, talking quietly about who could have hired Georgia and if the money in her account could be traced.
Shade was sitting on the end of the couch with his feet on the coffee table while Viper sat at the other end. Razer was sprawled on the chair next to the couch.
He saw Lily approaching and warned the other two men. She wore an angry frown, while Winter was sending sneaky looks his way. She must have spilled the beans about the card game being rigged.
Lily noticed they had stopped talking and turned to leave but Shade caught her hand, dragging her down to sit on his lap.
Viper began talking about their clubhouse in Ohio and the new recruits they had wanting to join.
“Got one wanting to go for the patch here,” Shade said, lacing his hand through Lily’s.
She lost her angry expression, rubbing her thumb back against his.
“Who?” Viper asked, his eyes going around the room.
“Dude against the left wall with the eight-ball tat,” Shade answered without turning his head.
Lily started to turn her head, but Shade’s hand tightened on the hand he was holding. Lily took the hint and remained still. That time, it was his thumb rubbing hers.
