Page 97 of A Shade of Evil

I nod, disguising the delight in my expression and holding his gaze, I unzip my foul dress and let it fall to the floor, standing before him in nothing but a gold G-string and my mask.

I run my hands over my body and moan as I sway from side to side, putting on a show that causes him to palm his cock and groan, “You look fucking amazing, princess.”

I place two fingers in my G-string and ease it down gently, keeping my eyes trained on him the entire time as I suck in my lower lip and flutter my lashes.

His eyes are dark and filled with lust as I sway toward him and just as I press my lips to his, I drop down before him and cup his balls, rolling them around my fingers and squeezing them hard.

“Fuck.” His low hiss makes me smile against his dripping cock and as I lick it slowly, his eyes roll back and he groans, “You’re amazing.”

I slide him into my mouth and grip his ass, pulling him in deeper, groaning with pleasure, and as he thrusts gently, I taste my man and a shiver of pleasure passes through my entire body.

This is what I love. Our dirty moments alone when nobody else exists. Two people who are crazy about one another, playing the most wicked games. Will it last forever? I fucking hope so and if it doesn’t, at least I had the time of my life while it did.

As he grips my hair and face fucks my mouth, I find I get as much pleasure from pleasing him as myself. More, in fact, because right at this moment, I am the only thing on Shade’s mind. I have his attention one hundred percent, and nobody can touch us.

As he comes hard down my throat, I swallow every drop, happy I brought him pleasure and knowing he will not be leaving it here. From the expression in his eye, I’m in for a long night and I’m more than happy about that.

I was right.We don’t sleep at all and spend the entire night exploring our bodies, pushing our limits, and driving one another insane with lust. Shade is the perfect lover and my dream man and as we sit on the deck wrapped in a blanket, we watch the sunrise naked, holding hands and exhausted.

“It’s so beautiful.” I stare at the majestic rising of the most brilliant, magnificent star.

“It is.” He turns to me and kisses my lips slowly and then whispers against them, “This is my happy place. You naked in my arms, on my boat, watching the sunrise, knowing we have the rest of our lives to enjoy moments like this.”

“You’re a little presumptuous, aren’t you?” I laugh softly as his stubble grazes my cheek and he whispers, “Did I say you had a choice?”

He strokes his finger lightly down my face and his eyes gleam as he says huskily, “The sun may be magnificent, but it’s dull in comparison to you. I never thought I’d say this in my entire life, but I love you, Allegra Powell, and you are going to become my wife.”

I stare at him in surprise as he smiles gently and whispers, “Whether you agree or not.”

It makes me laugh and despite how tempting it is to say no just to annoy him, I grip his face between my hands and hold it gently, staring into his eyes as I whisper, “As it happens, I can’t think of anything I’d like more, so yes, I will become your wife, Shade Vieri, on one condition.”

“There are conditions?” He raises his eyes with amusement, and I giggle against his lips. “On the condition you never stop surprising me. We live life to the extreme and don’t settle for anything ordinary.”

“That’s two conditions. One has to go.” He grins and I shrug. “You choose. I couldn’t really give a fuck, anyway.”

He laughs out loud and pushes me back onto the deck and strokes my face, while gazing into my eyes with a loving expression as he whispers, “I told you I loved you. It’s customary to say it back.”

“Then earn it, asshole.” I giggle as his eyes glitter with lust, and he pushes inside me, slowly, in no hurry, while staring into my eyes the entire time. He rubs my clit with his thumb, building me to an orgasm that causes me to moan his name on the soft ocean breeze.

My entire body shakes as my orgasm crashes through it, ripping through my defenses and chaining my soul to his. Yes, I’m in no doubt at all that I love this man with my entire heart, but he really doesn’t need to know that at all.

EPILOGUE

SERENA

My heart is heavy, and the tears burn as the car takes me away from the only people I love and trust with all my heart. As send offs go, this one is bittersweet because my brothers have introduced two other females into our tight circle, and I am interested in getting to know them.

I almost pity them and wonder if they understand what they have let themselves in for.

It’s not easy being a Vieri and especially not a woman. I’m just surprised I was allowed to go and visit the one who got away.

Mom lives in Australia, and you couldn’t get much further than that, but she obviously decided it was her best shot at happiness when she divorced my father.

I miss her and I’m desperate to reconnect with her. It’s just a shame I must travel halfway across the world to do it.

As I watch the familiar scenery passing, I gaze out of the window and wonder if I will be as happy as my brothers obviously are because I never have much luck meeting guys. When your brothers head up the local mafia, there really aren’t that many takers.
