Shade straightened away from her. “Then run away.” He lifted his beer to his mouth, leaning back against the couch. Expecting her to run from the room, he was surprised when she didn’t.
Rider was sitting with Bliss on his lap with his hand under her T-shirt, the tanned expanse of her stomach showing. Then Rider started sucking on the flesh of Bliss’s neck while his hand slid farther up her top.
Cash’s hand went to the waistband of Raci’s short skirt, his fingers sliding underneath.
Shade watched Lily tense, her eyes going back and forth between the two couples, ready to fly off the couch.
“Look at their faces, Lily.”
Shade’s words had her eyes flying up to his.
He leaned closer to her, his chest just brushing against hers. He felt her nipples tauten against him, and she began to breathe faster. Shade dropped all pretenses with her, letting her see the desire he had kept carefully hidden. Since the first time he had seen her, he had been swimming in an ocean of longing for her. But right then, he was dragging her into the ocean with him, letting her see for herself how it felt to want someone until you felt like you were drowning.
Lily turned her head, her eyes going to Raci as Cash’s hand completely disappeared under her shirt.
“Does she look frightened?” Shade asked her.
Lily’s eyes lifted to Raci’s face. There was no way Lily could mistake fear for the excitement Raci expressed as her hips wiggled back against Cash, her head falling back against his shoulder.
Lily’s eyes moved away, going to Bliss whose breasts were uncovered with Rider twisting her nipple. Her eyes dropped to Bliss’s tattoo with four daisies and a date in the middle. Her face paled and then she turned, glaring at him.
Lily tried to get up, but Shade used his body to stop her. She sank farther back into the couch cushions, trying not to come into contact with his body. Shade allowed her to keep that space so she would still be able to see Rider and Bliss. The two were erotic as hell to watch. The only thing hotter was when Rider wanted to play Dom.
“You understand that tattoo, don’t you?” Shade asked, staring down into her eyes.
“You disgust me,” Lily spat.
“You’re not even going to ask me if one of those daisies is me?” Shade mocked.
“I don’t have to.” Lily tried to turn away, but he kept her pinned in place as her hand covered the flesh over her heart. Shade saw the tell-tale sign yet didn’t back off. He had to be cruel to be kind. He wasn’t going to let her discover any secrets which would drive her away from him once he had her. And he was close to having her.
Shade moved her hand away, letting his replace it. “I was, and Winter wasn’t any happier to find out Viper was, too. Evie and Cash were the other two.” His hand rubbed against her flesh, seeing the stabbing pain of betrayal his words elicited as if it was his own. “Bliss likes to show off, so it was only a matter of time before you saw it now that you’re living here.”
“For now.”
Shade almost snapped “Forever,” but Raci’s moans drew their attention.
Cash picked the woman up, throwing her over his shoulder before carrying her up the steps.
“I’m not stopping you. You can leave anytime, Lily. I’m sure Beth won’t be heartbroken for long. On the other hand, you could start enjoying living here. Look at Bliss. I don’t think there’s any place else she wants to be.” His seductive comments had her focusing on the lone couple as they became bolder in front of her.
Rider’s hand was no longer under her shirt but beneath her skirt, which had ridden up to show Bliss was naked underneath. He was rubbing her between her splayed thighs, and her hand had gone into his jeans as she unzipped them.
Shade placed his mouth against Lily’s throat and saw her eyes begin to roll back. He wasn’t going to let her escape into her mind this time.
Using the tip of his tongue, he barely touched the flesh of her throat. Her attention was so focused on Rider and Bliss he didn’t think she even noticed as he traced a path to her ear.
“See how wet she is? She isn’t afraid to let him touch her. She’s enjoying every minute of it.” One of Rider’s fingers slipped inside of Bliss, and her moan had Lily shuddering. “She loves to fuck,” he whispered into her ear before rising up to stare down at her flushed face.
“Give her another finger, Rider,” Shade ordered, hearing Lily’s soft gasp as she watched, entranced.
Bliss moaned louder when Rider’s two fingers slid in and out of her pussy.
“See? She’s enjoying his fingers in her pussy,” he said, lowering his mouth to her ear once again before he pulled back and directed Rider once more. “Rub her clit harder, Rider. She enjoys a little pain.”
Lily’s thighs pressed together, and Shade’s cock thickened when he felt that needy movement against his hip.
“Shade…” Bliss moaned, lifting her hips and pumping them, riding Rider’s fingers, her juices easily visible to Shade and Lily.
