Shade's Fall (41 page)

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.” One of her legs rubbed against his as she tried to tell him what she needed.

“You’re not hot enough yet.” Shade’s mouth moved to her breast again, taking her nipple back into his mouth.

“Yes, I am.” Lily heartily disagreed with him. If he kept rubbing her pussy, she was going to come before he’d even entered her.

Then understanding dawned on her, what he was trying to tell her. She was just lying there, letting him have sex with her. He wanted her to make love
with
him.

Her hands left his shoulders, exploring every inch of his skin, discovering his body; how he trembled when her lips grazed the flesh at the base of his throat, how his lean body had stone-hard muscles.

As her teeth grazed his nipples, she learned how his body felt when he shifted to lay between her thighs. Her palms slid along his ribcage, circling his waist to hold him tighter as he slid his cock deep within her. Lily memorized how her breasts felt when she arched them against his chest, then when he crushed them beneath his chest.

She didn’t want to forget any moment from her wedding night, so when her monsters tried to threaten her, it would be Shade’s touch—his kiss, his image—that would drive every hurtful memory away until all that was left was him and this night. Their wedding night. Their first time.

Lily turned her head to whisper in his ear, “I love you, John Hunter.”

“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.”

His mouth covered hers as his thrusts increased, carrying them both into a climax that gave as much as it took. It gave them a way to express their love and took a part of their soul as it receded, crashing the two into one, forever entwined.

Shade rolled over, pulling Lily onto his chest.

“That was beautiful,” Lily said, nuzzling his neck.

“Did you enjoy it?”

“Yes, I never expected… Yes, I enjoyed it a lot.” She laughed against his neck.

“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. There were three steps that led down into the massive shower. Shade turned the water and music on, and the water began to pulse to the music.

“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, lifting his mouth and stepping away. With a grin, Lily went to the shower wall, leaning back against it.

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,” Shade said, 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, feeling his hand on her pubic hair, trying to decide whether to go along with him or not.

His hand went to the shelf again, pulling out a long, old-fashioned razor. That answered her question. She was not going to let him near her sensitive flesh.

“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 sentence making her pause in getting away from him.

“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?” His wicked voice was muffled with laughter.

“That’s definitely TMI, Shade. He used to shave the women in the house?” Lily couldn’t resist asking.

“Yep.” Shade continued at his task.

“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. Lily would have jerked away when he started shaving her, but once that lethal-looking razor was pressed against her crotch, she froze in place. 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.”

“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.” His eyes dared her.

“I’m going to hold you to that.” Her thoughts of revenge were side-tracked by his mouth going directly to her pussy. One second she was talking to him, the next he was devouring her, sliding his tongue through the fleshy pink lips of her cunt.

Lily’s hand grasped the back of his neck, pulling 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.

Shade then stood up, dragging his tongue away with a final sweep across her clit. He turned her until she was facing the shower bench that was against one wall of the shower. “Bend over,” he groaned.

Lily bent over, placing her hands on the bench. His hand on her back pushed her down further until her face 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. She felt the tip touch her clit, nearly making her come, but then he changed directions. On his next forward thrust, the momentum sent 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 stance wider, taking him deep enough so that she tried to adjust herself.

“Stay still.” His mouth found the tender flesh of her neck. “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, her next orgasm driving her back on his cock.

His hand slid around her ribcage then upwards, grabbing her breast 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 36

Lily bit her lip as she stood on the porch of the clubhouse. It had been her turn to cook dinner and she had come outside to tell the men that dinner was ready.

The men were down in the parking lot below. It was freezing out, but they stood watching as Rider rode a new motorcycle he had just bought, saying his other one was headed for the scrap heap.

Several of the women had gone down to see his new bike also. Bliss and Jewell along with Evie stood watching Rider on the bike. They were taking turns getting on behind him, while Viper, Shade and Train were talking. Shade was sitting casually on his bike with his back to the house. Raci was on Rider’s bike at the moment, and jumped off when the bike came to a stop. She looked gorgeous with her flushed cheeks and tight jeans. She was wearing a thin cream top with one of the men’s leather jacket on. She wondered whose jacket she had on, since she had never seen Beth wearing Razer’s the whole time they had been married.

When Raci turned, Lily saw the back of the jacket and knew instantly whose it was. It was like a knife had been stabbed in her heart.

She went back inside without telling them dinner was ready, going back inside to the kitchen. She stood at the kitchen several minutes staring out the window as she tried to catch her breath. She began praying hard.

A few minutes later, she heard the front door open and the voices of the members. She quickly busied herself, placing a calm expression on her face.

“That bike makes me want to get a new one.” Train was the first in the kitchen with the rest following behind.

Evie and Jewell took advantage of the men talking to get in the food line to fix their plates. Lily saw Shade come into the kitchen with Viper, Raci and Bliss trailing behind them. Raci was no longer wearing Shade’s jacket.

Lily was tempted to go back to their house, but she was just as determined not to run. She fixed herself a plate, taking a seat at the table next to Evie and Jewell, forcing herself to eat while Shade and the others fixed themselves plates.

Shade finished filling his plate and took a seat across from her. When he would have said something, Lily picked up her plate and stood up.

“I’m done, Raci. You can have my seat.” Lily walked away from the table as Raci sat down.

Placing her plate in the sink, she went to the kitchen door.

“Lily?” Shade’s questioning voice had her shoulders stiffening. She reminded herself she wanted to be more like Sex Piston and her crew. She knew exactly what Sex Piston would do.

Turning around, she went back to the table, ignoring Beth and Winter who had come into the kitchen, just now getting off work. She walked up behind Rider and gave him sweet smile.

“Rider, it’s cold outside, and I left my jacket at the house. May I borrow yours?”

Rider paled, his eyes going to Shade’s.

“This isn’t going to be pretty.” Lily heard Beth’s amused voice behind her back.

“Uh, Lily. Shade’s jacket is in the other room; would you like me to get it for you?” Raci’s face was as white as Rider’s.

Lily turned toward Raci. This time the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “No thanks, Raci. Rider?” Lily turned back to Rider who hadn’t taken his eyes off Shade’s grim visage.

“Is there a problem?” she continued. “It’s not like your jackets mean anything, do they? It’s not like a wedding ring is it? I’ll give it back when I’m done with it.” This time Lily didn’t try to hide her anger at the knowledge that she had been right in the importance of the jackets. “I thought you men were all about sharing.”

“There’s the Lily I know and love,” Winter said, making no attempt to keep the amusement out of her voice.

Rider reached for his jacket, which he had hung on the back of his chair.

“Touch that jacket, and you won’t sit for a week,” Shade’s coldly furious voice had everyone tensing.

“Never mind, Rider. I’m sure a few minutes out in the cold won’t bother me.” Lily turned on her foot, going out the kitchen door

She was halfway back to their house when she was jerked to a stop. “What the fuck?” Shade’s angry face stared down at her.

“Don’t you dare ask me why I’m mad.” She wrenched her arm away from him and rushed toward the house. She opened the door and turned to close it, but Shade prevented her by coming in behind her, shutting it himself.

Lily ignored him as she turned on the lights.

“So what is this? The silent treatment?” Shade mocked with his arms crossed over his chest.

Lily threw him an angry look, turning to face him. “There is nothing to say, Shade.” Staring back at him, she buried her hands in the side of her dress. Even angry and hurt as she was, he attracted her like a moth to a flame, and just like a moth, she had given him the power to destroy her.

He was wearing dark jeans and boots with a black muscle shirt that showed his body to his best advantage. How could she blame Bliss or the other women for wanting him when the only thing she could think of was touching him?

Lily sighed going to the steps. “I fell in love with The Last Rider that’s the wildest? I knew you were bad, but I had no concept of just how bad, did I?”

“No.” Shade didn’t try to evade her question.

“Go have your dinner.” She climbed the steps to their bedroom, aware he was following her.

Her mind went back to after her wedding ceremony and the women’s faces when she had questioned them. She should never have lost her temper. Now she was regretting letting it rattle her that she had seen Raci in his jacket. Lily didn’t want to be jealous of other women; it would affect her marriage. She had to trust Shade or their marriage was never going to work.

In the bedroom, she gathered her pajamas and went into the shower, taking a long time, hoping Shade would go back to the clubhouse and finish his dinner. It would give her time to soothe her hurt feelings without wanting to throw something at him. Lily even thought of calling Sex Piston for advice.

When she finally came out of the bathroom, Shade was leaning against his cabinet with his shirt and boots removed.

Lily came to an abrupt stop, looking at the determined expression on his face. Shade took out a slip of paper she recognized. It was her IOU.

“I’m going to give you a choice. Either you can apologize or I can cash in my hour of time. Your choice, Angel.”

Which was really no choice at all.

Stubbornly, she mimicked him, crossing her arms over her chest. “The IOU.” Lily trembled when he gave her a lethal smile. “I’m not the one who should apologize.”

“Take off your nightgown.”

Lily jerked off her gown, throwing it at his smug face, her eyes throwing violent sparks.
