“I needed one of his men to accompany me even to the grocery store,” Camilla added with a bitter laugh. “You can imagine, I didn’t have many friends. I felt like a prisoner. The day before I was taken, my brother and I had a terrible fight. He wanted to marry me off to one of his allies, and I refused,” Camilla said. “The next morning, I felt suffocated, like I couldn’t breathe, so I went for a run.”

Shadow could feel her pain as she recounted the events.

“And the Reapers knew who you were. That’s why they kept you in a separate room,” he said, understanding dawning on him.

“Not at first, but one of them eventually figured it out,” Camilla admitted. “They said they had grand plans for me.”

She shivered involuntarily. Shadow pulled her close into a protective embrace. Leaning in, he pressed his mouth over hers. Camilla clutched his shirt and responded, the kiss hungry and tasted a little of desperation.

It dawned on Shadow that he didn’t want to lose her and he didn’t care who her brother was. It seemed Camilla felt the same way about him.

Shadow shrugged off his jacket while Camilla took off her shirt, then her underwear and pants. She kicked off her shoes then knelt before him. Shadow sucked in a breath, admiring how gorgeous his woman was.

Camilla belonged here, in his world and with him, he realized. She wasn’t going anywhere. The sight of her, vulnerable and exposed, was enough to make his dick rock hard.

She closed her small fingers over his shaft and he threaded his fingers into her hair, bringing her lips closer. She licked, sucked, and explored every veined inch of him, taking her sweet time.

Shadow tightened his grip on her hair as she paid attention to his balls as well, taking them in her sweet mouth and sucking.

He groaned as she finally took his length down her throat and didn’t even gag once. Damn, but this woman was a keeper. She kept at it, bobbing her head up and down until his balls tightened against his body.

“I’m close,” he told her.

She didn’t pull away at that revelation. In fact, she took all of his seed and didn’t spill a single drop.

“Baby, you’re a keeper,” he told her.

Smiling, Camilla crawled into his bed. He joined her, straddling her. He kissed her again, this time not holding back.

Camilla sunk her fingers into his hair as he worshipped her body. Shadow kissed her cheek, the side of her neck, the hollow of her collarbones.

He took his time, sucking on her breasts, leaving his teeth marks on them. Camilla cried out beneath him and he slid two fingers inside her pussy just to feel how wet she was.

She was more than ready for him but he wasn’t done with her. He nipped and bit his way down to the crevice of her legs. Shadow paid particular attention to her clit, circling his tongue over the sensitive bundle of nerves until she cried out above him.

He pushed two, three fingers into her cunt, feeling her muscles convulse around him. When Camilla came, he licked her clean like a cat with cream. Shadow lifted himself up, still licking away the remnants of her sweetness on his tongue. Camilla gazed up at him, expression soft and unfocused.

“You’re hard again,” she murmured, reaching out to stoke his shaft. “Fuck me.”

“My fucking pleasure,” Shadow said.

He slid inside her, not stopping until he was balls-deep in her. Going slow this time wasn’t what either of them wanted.

Shadow fucked her like he owned her and she matched him for every thrust. At his last push, Camilla arched her back and the whimper that followed made him smile.

He aimed for her G-spot repeatedly, until she came all over his cock. Shadow hammered her a few more times, before filling her with his jizz. He collapsed next to her, pulling her close to him. Camilla huddled close to him, burying her face into his chest.

“Hanging Grove is my home now. You’re my home, Shadow,” she confessed in a hushed tone. “I love you so much.”

Shadow held her tighter, his own possessive emotions burning within him.

“I love you too, and I’ve made up my mind. I’m not letting you go, not without a fight,” he said.

Camilla seemed hesitant and she bit on her lower lip. “But … going against my brother’s wishes might mean involving your MC. Rooster and the others, they’re good men,” she pointed out.

Shadow brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face. Leaning in, he pressed a soft kiss to her lips before responding. “Camilla, my MC brothers are grown men. They can decide if they want to stand by me or not. Besides, knowing them, they’re always looking for a good fight.”

Camilla was silent for a few moments. Then, a certain look appeared in her eyes that Shadow didn’t like.
