“Yes,” Lily screamed when he filled her again.
Diamond began screaming, clutching Lily’s hands. Lily grabbed her back as Shade’s fingers reached underneath her, taking a nipple in his hand.
He began squeezing her breast until she felt it become tender and sensitive. When his fingers finally reached her nipple again, he twisted the nub. A burst of painful pleasure had her forcing the scream back in her throat, afraid she would hurt Diamond’s ears.
Her control broke and she experienced her orgasm through a cloud of euphoria that held her senseless for several seconds. She came back into herself as Shade and Knox were unlocking the handcuffs.
Shade pulled off her blindfold, kissing her on her parted lips as her eyes opened. The love in his eyes had her raising her hand to touch his cheek.
“How do you keep your face so cleanly shaven?” The innocuous comment seemed normal to her.
“I shave a couple of times a day,” he answered, lifting her up into his arms.
“Why so often?” she asked, laying her head on his shoulder.
“Because you like to touch my face.” Shade carried her into the shower before setting her down.
“Why don’t you do that for me? “ Lily heard Diamond ask Knox.
She looked up to see they were in the big shower, but the only thing she could see was Shade’s shoulders and Knox’s back and head. Now she understood why the shower was so large. Lily was about to get out of the shower, but Shade turned the water on, handing her the soap.
Lily quickly washed then hurried out of the shower. Shade was right behind her, grinning as he dressed, watching Lily throw her own clothes on. She was about to rip a seam in her skirt when she realized Diamond and Knox were still in the shower.
Diamond was giving her the opportunity to get dressed. She’s probably as sensitive as I am, Lily thought. She didn’t seem to have much more experience at this than Lily did. Lily calmed down and finished dressing.
“Thirsty?” Shade asked.
“Yes.”
Lily and Shade went back to the front of the basement. It was a while before Knox and Diamond came out. Knox threw himself down on the couch, pulling Diamond on his lap. Picking up his beer, he took a long drink.
“How is the new gismo Cash is working on?” Knox asked Shade.
“Waiting on the patent. As soon as it’s approved, we can start selling it,” Shade said, taking a drink of his own beer.
“Good. I need the cash. Diamond wants to turn our house into a fucking fortress.” Knox grinned at his wife who threw him a dirty look.
Shade answered Knox’s other questions on the factory, discussing several items that were making the highest sales.
Lily sat, sipping her now-flat soft drink, avoiding Diamond’s eyes. Eventually, their eyes met, though, and they smiled at each other, silently laughing at their embarrassment.
“So, can I borrow your sweater?” Diamond asked.
“Yes.”

Lily was almost asleep when Shade slid under the covers, pulling them over their bodies. When he tugged her to him, she rolled over, burying her face in his neck as she lay against his chest.
“Shade…” Lily began.
“Knox will always be a brother, but being sheriff he has to keep a low profile. Diamond is a lawyer. She’s a good one. She’s going to move up.”
“I like to play; Knox likes to play. We all know how to keep our mouths shut. That’s why Viper and Razer talked club business in front of you. You kept Georgia’s secret even though that bitch trashed you all over town. The only time you talked was to protect someone else and to save Georgia’s life after she almost killed you.
“I think Diamond’s an attractive woman, but I don’t want to fuck her. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes,” Lily whispered.
She had briefly seen Knox naked. She thought he was handsome in a fierce kind of way, yet she would never be attracted to him.
“If you want to play sometimes with them and only them, we can. You don’t, we won’t. It’s your call.” Shade yawned, putting his arm behind his head. “I thought you and Diamond would get along since you’re not close friends, but you can become friends. You’re both kind of… sweet.”
Lily lifted her head. “That wasn’t what you were going to say.” She glared down at him. “I don’t know if you or Winter is the most devious.”
“I am, but she thinks she is,” Shade said smugly.
“Heaven help the person you two gang up on; they wouldn’t stand a chance.”
