“You never turned off the cameras in the vault,” Andre says casually while slipping me an SD card across the table at the local coffee shop. It's been a few days since our escapade and Riley is currently out with her sister Corrine and Kaz, having a “pampering session,” or whatever women do at the spa. Xavier eyes the SD card with interest.

“Did you watch it?” I ask Andre.

“Nah, not really my thing. You left him alive too.” he states.

“I want him to remember what happened forever. Death would be too easy for him. I need him to suffer every day knowing I have what he could never appreciate.”

Andre chuckles “I’m sure I could find some use for him. After all, he doesn't have a tongue to talk to anyone anymore. Less chance of me murdering him out of annoyance.”

Xavier hasn't said a word. He’s still busy eyeing the SD card on the table.

“Permission granted,” I say, sliding it towards him.

“Really?” He asks with excitement.

I laugh out loud causing some of the guests around us to look our way curiously. “How could I ever deny my friend his most favorite kink mixed with a little gore? Call it a repayment for pulling you away from the show Jonathan and Jamison were about to give you when we were at Lock & Key.”

“I feel like I’m being double gifted now,” he says, wiggling his eyebrows. “You and Riley gave quite the show that night right afterwards. Although I must admit, it was quite dark and I was a little preoccupied. All in all, it was worth it. I’ll still take a little peek at this though…for research purposes.” He winks and puts the card in his pocket.

Andre huffs, “I always miss the good shit. I fucking hate not being in the states with you guys more.”

“Well tell your dad you might have to come down a little more often,” I reply before pulling out a small box and setting it on the table between us. Both of their eyes widen before looking at me.

Xavier snatches the box up, opens it and whistles. “You shouldn't have,” he states before placing his hand on his heart. “What will Riley think if we run away together, Sebastian?”

“Shut the fuck up,” Andre says snatching the open box from him. “Damn, what’s this about 4-carats?”

“Five,'' I state smugly. He places the box back on the table. A platinum, 5-carat solitaire, Asscher-cut diamond ring nestles inside of it.

“Fuck, I never thought I would see the day. You really are serious,” Xavier says.

I look at both him and Andre with a radiant smile plastered on my face, “Dead serious. Are you boys ready to marry me off?”

We all laugh before motioning the waitress over for our check.

Chapter 74

Riley

“You have four fucking minutes before I come in there and carry your ass out, ready or not,” Sebastian states from the other side of the bathroom door. I’m hurrying to put the finishing touches on my makeup. I’m in a new skin-tight number that Sebastian bought me last week from some boutique downtown. “You wear this when I tell you to,” he’d said, presenting me with the beautiful slinky dress. And now, seeing myself in the mirror, I realize he knows exactly how to play up my assets. I look hot.

“Coming!” I say, swinging the door to the bathroom and finding Sebastian sitting on the bed. His eyes grow wide, and I see the heat flood his face.

“Fuck me little mouse,” he whispers. “Maybe Xavier and your sister can wait.”

I smile. He makes me wet with so few words. “We have all night, Sebastian. You can look at me all night and think about what we’ll do later.”

He nods, stands, and pulls me close to him. His erection presses against me, and I gasp. It still shocks me how big he is, and how ready that feeling makes me. “Just one quick thing first,” he says, and before I realize what he’s doing he’s on his knees, nuzzling his face between my legs. His hands grip my ass from behind and he slides my dress up. I’m bared open to him and he growls “no panties Riley? What a dirty little mouse.” He then takes a long lick up my slit, and sucks my clit oh so briefly before pulling the fabric down and standing back up.

“Wait… maybe we can be a few minutes late?” I whimper, now wanting much more.

“Nope baby, we have places to be.”

On our ride to the restaurant, Sebastian holds my hand. It feels right, and also still so new and thrilling. “What’s the menu like here?” I ask him, wondering where we’re headed and how elaborate our evening must be if he had his personal driver come pick us up.

“It’s a themed menu,” he says, “it matches the seasons in the city. So tonight, the menu will focus on the abundance that comes with spring. I talked to the chef and made sure he’d make it extra special for us.” I look at him. He never ceases to surprise me.

We enter the beautiful new hotel where the restaurant is, making our way to the rooftop patio. The elevator doors open and I instantly see the twinkling lights of the city surrounding us, making a 360-degree display. The stars and twinkling seem to combat one another. I’m so in awe that it takes me a minute to realize there is no one else on the patio.
