  “Give me your hands.” She held her hands up for him. He reached the rope that he’d attached to the bed before he took a shower.

  “You’re full of surprises.”

  He didn’t say anything as he tied her wrists together then above her head. Climbing over her, he tied the other rope on the opposite end around her wrists. “I like to play, and I’ve not had time to play with you yet.”

  Alex left the bed, going to his drawer. He removed a tie that he wore with many of his business suits.

  “What’s that?” she asked.

  “This is for me to play without you fighting me at every turn.” He straddled her waist, sliding the tie around her eyes. He knotted it toward the side so it wouldn’t be uncomfortable at the back. “Can you see?”

  “No.”

  “This is showing you trust me.”

  “I do trust you, Alex.”

  “I know.” He pressed a kiss to her lips. She tried to follow him, but Alex climbed off the bed, staring down at her. He’d left her legs free as he wanted to move her when he wanted. The ropes around her wrist still had some give in them so he could turn her if he wanted.

  Running a finger over his lip, he admired her dark skin, her rounded curves, and he didn’t have a clue where to start touching her first.

  Her breaths were increasing with every single second that passed. He placed his fingers at her ankle, sliding up and down her legs. The moment he touched her she released a little moan.

  “Open your legs for me, baby. Let me see that pretty little pussy of yours.”

  She licked her lips and slowly opened her thighs. He caressed up to her knee, going down her thigh then over her stomach. She took a deep breath, pushing her chest out as he cupped her full tit. Her nipples were a darker brown, and they were hard budded, pressing up for him to touch.

  “Do you want this, baby?” he asked.

  “Yes. I want everything you can give me.”

  He stopped her talking by sucking her hard nipple into his mouth. Alex listened to her cry out while he pinched her other nipple. Leaving her body, he moved to the bottom of the bed, no longer touching her, to stare at her pussy. The fine dark hairs on her pussy lips didn’t cover up the brown beauty of her cunt. Cream glistened in the lighting.

  “Alex?”

  “I’m still here. I’m not going anywhere.” He climbed onto the edge of the bed, gripping both of her ankles. “I’m staring at your beautiful cunt.”

  She gasped.

  “It’s my cunt, isn’t it, Sunshine?”

  “Yes.”

  “Just like your mouth.”

  “Yes.”

  “And soon like your ass.”

  “Yes.” There was no hesitation when she responded to him. She belonged to him. He’d never had a woman all of his. Even Claire had been devoted to her career. She’d wanted kids with him but it wasn’t like this. Sunshine was devoted to him. He sensed it within her, the need to please him.

  God, he was in love with her, and it scared him.

  Could he take the risk of making her his, or should he stop right now before it got out of hand?

  He moved a little closer, moving his hands up to her knees. Opening her thighs a little wider, he couldn’t look away from her pussy.

  “I’m going to eat out this pussy. My pussy.” He moved so that he was lying before her on the bed with his mouth over her mound. The scent of her invaded every single one of his senses, and he didn’t want to stop. His mouth watered, and going to her clit, he sucked her inside.

  She was soaking wet, and he swallowed down her cream with a moan. Caressing around her clit, he moved down to fuck into her pussy. The taste of her exploded on his tongue. It was a heady experience, and he didn’t want it to end. Flicking her clit, he used his fingers to fuck inside. She took three fingers, and he sucked her clit into his mouth.

  Sunshine came apart, screaming his name. Her cream coated his fingers as he fucked her over and over again.

  When she couldn’t take any more of his teasing, he released her body, but he wasn’t done with her yet. He gripped her hips and flipped her over so that she was onto her knees. Alex pushed on her back so she’d lean down, drawing her ass to the air.

  Running his hands over the plump rounds, he spread her cheeks wide, staring at her creamy pussy. Some of her cum had leaked out and now coated the puckered hole of her anus.

  “You know I’m going to claim this ass.”

  “I know.”

  “I’m going to get you used to my touch first.”

  She didn’t argue with him.

  With her cum still coating his fingers, he teased over her ass, rubbing her cream against her puckered hole. She didn’t put up a fight, but she did tense at the first stroke against her ass.

  “I’m not going to hurt you. I’m just getting you used to me touching you. There’s no pain here.”

  She still wore the blindfold, and her hands were still bound above her head. He pressed a finger against her puckered ass, and that tight ring of muscles kept him completely out. His cock swelled, and he couldn’t deny himself the use of her pussy.

  Releasing her ass, he gripped his cock and pressed the tip to her melting core. Slamming in, they both groaned as he slid in deep to her drenched cunt. The walls of her pussy rippled around him as he forged inside.

  “Fuck,” he said, yelling out the curse.

  She chuckled, pushing back against his dick. He held onto her hips, gripping her tightly as he started to rock inside her. With her pussy gripping him in a vise, he started to stroke over her ass hoping it would relax her.

  He fought past the tight ring of muscles, and it didn’t keep him out. The tip of his finger worked inside her ass, and he slammed into her pussy. She opened up like a flower blossoming. He eased his finger into her ass, using the cream from her pussy to make it easier.

  “Alex?”

  “Don’t worry, baby. I’m not going to hurt you.” He worked a second finger into her ass, letting her become accustomed to the feel of his fingers in her ass.

  Sawing his fingers into her ass, he matched a pace with his cock, giving her dual pleasure. She started to thrust back, taking his fingers and cock.

  “Please, Alex, it feels so good.”

  Still slamming inside her, he let go of her hip to start teasing her clit. Sunshine screamed out his name, her pussy and ass squeezing him as she came.

  Alex followed her slamming his cum deep into her womb. He hoped his seed stuck. Collapsing over her, he prayed he got her pregnant so that he wouldn’t have a choice to let her go. Sunshine was in his heart, in his head, and in his very soul. She was perfect, and she was breaking down his walls. He didn’t know if he could give her up like he’d given up so many other things before.

  “You should have come to me,” Lash said, drying Angel’s hair. They’d picked Anthony up from the club and headed home after he found her at Gash’s. She’d sent him a text to meet him at the old warehouse. He figured she wanted some privacy to tell him she was pregnant again. She’d been begging him for a child, and at first he’d refused. Did she even realize he’d stopped wearing a condom for her?

  He wanted to give Angel everything her heart desired.

  When her hair was dried, he started to dry his own. Anthony was already asleep and wouldn’t be bothering them any time soon. His son was a little angel in the sleeping department.

  “I’m sorry I didn’t come to you. Every time I did you always changed the subject and told me no. I didn’t want to be told no. I wanted to do this and to help you where I could.” Angel took the towel from his hands, rubbing at his hair and body.

  He stopped her from drying any more of him. “You really think I’d cheat on you?”

  She stared at the floor refusing to meet his gaze.

  “Look at me, Angel.” He tilted her head back.

  “You’re surrounded by beautiful women. I know I don’t match up to them. I’m overweight. I’ve got stretch marks, a
nd I’m getting older.”

  He cupped her face, leading her back until she hit the wall of their bathroom. “One, I would never, ever cheat on you. Those women at the club are whores. They sleep with anyone they want. I don’t want any woman. I want you, Angel. It has always been about you from the very beginning. I love you. You’re the woman I fell in love with. I’ve never cared about your age. You’re getting older, and I love you more than ever.” Angel had been so young when she’d first been taken by the club, but now, she’d matured into a beautiful woman, inside and out. “You’re not overweight.” He dropped the towel, running his hands over her body. “You’re perfect for me, Angel.” Going to his knees where she had stretch marks, he kissed each and every one. “These marks, they’re not ugly. They remind me of how swollen you were carrying Anthony. You carried my son, Angel. The only woman my dick gets hard for is you. You’re the only woman I want.”

  Tears leaked from her eyes, going down her cheeks. “Oh, Lash, you know the right things to say to make me love you a little more.”

  “Baby, I don’t make them up. I speak the truth.” He took her hand, wrapping it around his length. “That’s what you do to me. I was fucking jealous of Gash for being near you.”

  “He’s a sweet man.”

  “No, he’s a dangerous man who has got to make a choice.”

  Angel knew what choice he was talking about. Lash didn’t tell her everything, but he did tell her some things. With everything she’d gone through in the name of the club, he believed it was right for her to know the truth.

  “I didn’t take your request seriously. Will you forgive me?”

  “I love you, Lash. You don’t have to ask. You know I forgive you.”

  He dropped his hand to her chest, holding her close. She stroked his hair, holding him close. Lash listened to her heart beat.

  “I don’t know if I can do this,” he said.

  “Do what?”

  “Take over the club. Tiny’s made the wrong choice.” He looked up into her eyes. “I never wanted to be head of the table, making decisions. This is not what I want to be.”

  “Tiny trusts you to look after the club. You don’t have a lot of choice. Lash, you’re a good man. The club is in here.” She pressed a hand to his heart. “You can do this, and I’m going to be by your side. I won’t let you down.”

  Cupping the back of her head, he pulled her up to take his kiss. With Angel in his life he could do anything. She was his reason for breathing. He couldn’t do anything without her, and wouldn’t want to.

  Chapter Eleven

  The following afternoon Sunshine stared out of Alex’s room window. They were in his casino, and he was on the phone talking with Cheryl to organize a visit to see Michael. She couldn’t hear him and didn’t want to listen to him beg to see his son. It was sad the situation he was in.

  Pressing her hand to the glass, she stared out over the city amazed by the bright lights. It was such a beautiful and yet unnatural in its appearance.

  “Cheryl and Butch have agreed to bring Michael to the casino. I’ve booked us a table at the restaurant downstairs,” Alex said, moving up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck. “What are you thinking about?”

  “The city. It’s beautiful.”

  “All kinds of crazy shit goes on down there.”

  “I imagine so.” She tilted her head to the side. “What kind of stuff?”

  “Hookers are trying to gain attention so they can make some money. Drug deals down darkened alleys, death, all of it. This is a town that never really sleeps, and we’re always ready to party.”

  “Why did you come here?”

  “It’s a good place to set up a casino.”

  She smiled. “You like a challenge?”

  “Always. There’s nothing I like more than putting all my energy into making something perfect.”

  “Like The Skulls.”

  “Yes.”

  “Do you ever miss your sister?” she asked, changing the conversation.

  Alex tensed and walked away. “I’d rather not talk about her.”

  “No secrets between us.”

  Alex stared at her. He shoved his hands into the pockets. “No, I don’t miss Patricia. She got what she wanted and then couldn’t stop complaining about what she actually wanted.” He forced a laugh. “I was trying to make her life easier and all the time she’d phone me up complaining about Tiny. He wasn’t being attentive, or he cared more about the club than her. I was in a business meeting, and she’d phone shouting how he was fucking another club whore. Every week I was listening to some kind of shit he’d done.”

  Folding her arms over her chest, she watched Alex shake his head.

  “No, I don’t miss Patricia. Since she’s been dead it has been damned quiet here. Does that make me a bad person?”

  “I don’t know. Do my parents selling me to you make them bad¸ or desperate? Dad has a problem, and my mom’s an idiot to him.”

  “You’re not angry at them?”

  “How can I be angry? I’m with the man I love.” He’d still not said anything to her about love. She didn’t care. Sunshine wasn’t telling him so that she’d hear the same confession from his lips.

  “They didn’t even consider you when they gave you to me.”

  She shrugged. “There are worse things in life. You’ve not sold me on, and I don’t think you’re going to.”

  “How do you know?” he asked, raising a brow.

  “You’re too possessive.” She took a step toward him, sliding her hands up his chest. “You like having me to yourself.” She wrapped her arms around his neck. “Do I need to go on?”

  “No, I’m not going to sell you.” He rested his hands on her ass, pulling her close. “What am I going to do with you?”

  “I can think of many things you could do.” She went onto her toes, pressing her lips against his. “But all of those things will have to wait.”

  “Why?”

  “We’re meeting your son, and I want to make a good impression. Did you know I’d never met him before?”

  “Cheryl’s the one in charge of when I can see him.”

  “What does she have over you?” Sunshine asked.

  “I don’t want to fight with her. She can make it so I don’t see Michael again. There’s also some club business that I’ll tell you about in time, but for now, I just want to think about you and my son.”

  “Have you ever thought about calling a truce with her? She’s the mother of your son. It sounds to me you’re always fighting everyone. You’re going to have to get along at some point. He might get married, have kids of his own. You’ll both be in his life.”

  Alex nodded. “I’ll consider it.”

  “When’s he coming?” she asked, resting her hands on her neck.

  “He should be here within the hour. Would you like a tour of the casino?”

  “Yes.”

  If they got naked in bed she wouldn’t want to leave it. He held out his hand, and together they made their way to the door. Baker and Adam were coming out of the room next to theirs. The two prospects looked happy to be in Vegas.

  “I have to say, Alex, this makes you my favorite person,” Adam said. “Here I was thinking you were fucking ancient already.”

  “There’s nothing ancient about him,” Sunshine said, running her hand over his chest.

  Both men laughed. “We’ll take your word for that.”

  “Come on, Baker. Millie’s not here, and I think it’s time for you to get your dick wet.”

  “Millie?” Sunshine asked. “The woman who owns the toy shop in town?”

  “Yeah, Baker’s got a hard-on for her,” Adam said.

  Baker looked at Alex. “Talk to her about it.”

  “Will do.”

  Sunshine couldn’t believe it. Millie was so sweet and charming. She couldn’t picture the young woman going for someone like Baker. He was … rough … damaged.

  “Leave it alone. Baker
hasn’t made his intentions known, and I doubt he will until he’s ready,” Alex said.

  “It just seems strange. I mean, it’s Millie.”

  “I’ve only seen her a couple of times,” Alex said. “I don’t know anything about her.”

  “She’s sweet. I mean, she owns a toy shop.”

  Alex chuckled. “Women who own toy shops can still want sex, baby. Baker’s not ready to lay claim to her just yet.” He wrapped an arm around her back. “Come on, let’s take this tour.”

  She walked beside him on the way to the elevator. Baker and Adam were talking about the tables they were going to play on, the women they were going to screw. Sunshine just shook her head laughing at the way they were behaving.

  They entered the main entrance of the casino, and it was heaving with activity. She heard a girl scream, and looking in the direction she saw a bachelorette party celebrating. The entire casino was alive with activity.

  “Alex, I heard you were coming back,” a large man covered in tattoos said. He approached, shaking Alex’s hand.

  “Gavin, how have you been?”

  “Fine, winning is always good.”

  “Ned give you the call I was on the way back?”

  “Yeah, crazy shit, huh? Shame about Sully. His family is with us under our protection until all this shit blows over.” Gavin nodded toward her. “Who’s this?”

  “This is my woman, Sunshine.” Alex held her tight by his side. “Sunshine, I’d like you to meet Gavin. He works for Ned Walker, Eva’s father. He’s a fighter and a damned good one. There’s only one fight I know he’s lost.”

  “Hey, I couldn’t win Eva over, and I wasn’t prepared to fight for her. Tiny’s going to treat her like a queen. You know that.”

  “She’s going to be spoiled,” Alex said.

  “It’s nice to meet you, Sunshine. I’m sorry to hear about what happened in Fort Wills.”

  “Thank you.”

  She frowned, looking toward Alex.

  “Right, give me a call before you leave, Alex. We need to have a drink, catch up.” Gavin shook his hand before turning away and leaving.
