“Say something.”

I smiled. “Thank you. This is perfect.”

His eyes were searching mine, seeking reassurance that I was really okay with all of this. “Are you sure? We can leave right now and we can do this however you want, whenever you want.”

“No. I think this is going to be fun. Besides, I trust you.”

Relief flashed across his handsome face, and he kissed me long and hard. No matter how many times Shane kissed me, I would never be ready for how intoxicating his taste was. How just the skim of his tongue over my bottom lip sent a shiver down my spine and made my sex flood with desire. He took my breath away and left me aching with just a simple kiss.

Almost reluctantly he stepped back. “There is lingerie in the closet. I ordered a few that you can choose from. Pick what you want and model it for me.”

There were three different sets of lingerie to choose from: a red and black lace chemise set that came with fishnet thigh highs and a garter belt; a crimson skirtini set that came with silk stockings; and a black satin peek-a-boo bra and thong set.

Pulling the skirtini set out, I went into the bathroom to change. The bathroom was gigantic. A walk-in shower was right next to a clawfoot tub that was easily big enough for two. A floor length mirror was on the wall in front of the shower, and I could easily imagine Shane making love to me in the shower while I watched in that mirror.

That image alone had me panting a little as I stripped of my simple black skirt and white top. The skirtini was cute, and I loved the feel of the silk stockings on my skin as I slid them over my legs. When I had dressed in the lingerie, I turned to get a glance of myself.

For the first time in my life, I thought I could actually see what Shane claimed he saw every time he looked at me. I might not be beautiful, but right in this moment I looked sexy as hell.

Smiling, I left the bathroom to find Shane sitting on the edge of the big crimson bed. He was actually wearing boxers, and that made me pause for a moment. My man looked really good in the masculine underwear.

He held his hand out for me, and I eagerly crossed over to him and placed my hand in his. Blue-gray eyes were eating me alive as they traveled from the top of my head to the tip of my silk stocking covered feet. A gentle tug and I was pulled across his chest as he fell back onto the bed.

“I love you so much, Harper.”

“I love you too.” It felt good to tell him. My heart felt lighter for having told him those magically powerful words. “Better not break my heart, mister,” I gently teased, even as I was praying that he never would.

“I won’t. Your heart is safe with me,” he promised.

With a smile I brushed a kiss over his lips.

It was so crazy how one little kiss could light a spark that led to such a huge explosion. Shane stood and pulled his boxers down his powerful thighs. I licked my lips as his dick sprang free and lifted toward his stomach. I had come to learn the three stages of Shane’s need for me: hard, harder, hardest. At the moment he was definitely reaching the hardest, and I grew wet when I saw the tip of his dick weeping for me.

“Did you see anything you wanted to try first?” His voice was all throaty, a sure sign that he was just as needy for me as I was for him.

I blushed and nodded. Shane smiled down at me tenderly. “Which one?”

I pointed toward the first toy, the one that had caught my attention the most. It was odd looking, as they all were, but this one looked the safest. Shane tilted his head and turned toward the large, unopened bottle of lubricant. I was in awe as he put a few squirts into his hands and rubbed them over his straining dick. He stilled for a moment as his rough fingers stroked over his sensitive flesh, and I realized that he still had that hang up despite our healing lovemaking that morning.

When his dick was shiny with the lubricant, he reached for the toy and slipped the ring part down over his shaft. He had to stretch it wide to fit, but when it was in place he looked nearly twice as big as he hand moments ago. My mouth went dry and my sex grew wetter. I had to squeeze my thighs together to ease some of the ache that was starting to consume me.

Shane squirted a small amount of the lubricant into his hand and came back to the bed. As he reached me, I caught the scent of the lubricant. “Lemon?” I said with a grin.

“Our favorite.” He winked as he climbed onto the huge bed on his knees. The lubricant was room temperature, but my body was on fire so it felt a little chilly as he rubbed the thick liquid over my clit through the crotchless skirtini. “Don’t want you to get friction burn, beautiful.”

I moaned as his fingers lingered, warming the lubricant as he massaged it into my aching flesh. As good as this felt, I was ready to tell him to forget the toys. All I wanted was him. But before I could open my mouth, he leaned over me and kissed me. My thighs spread wider for him, and I whimpered as the tip of his slick dick slipped into me.

Nipping at my lip, keeping me distracted while he reached between us and pressed a button at the same time, he slipped completely into me. My finger nails dug into his back at the first feel of the vibrations on my clit. The sensation felt so good, so amazing, that it scared me for a moment. Shane didn’t move as he let me become accustomed to the feel of the little vibrator that had pleasure nubs rubbing over my aching clit.

“Do you like this?” he asked in that desire roughened voice that never failed to send shivers down my spine.

“Y-yes. Oh, yes!” I gasped when he moved, causing the vibrator to glide across my clit while he gently thrust deep. “Oh, oh, I like this.”

“Fuck, baby!” He buried his face in my neck. “Watching you like this is killing me! Come for me, so I can empty into you. I swear I will do it all over again. As many times as you want. Just please come with me now.”

His words shattered me. My nails scraped across his back as my inner muscles clenched around his thick arousal. I felt the first hot, thick jet of his release and convulsed around him.

“AHHHHH!” I cried, coming apart for him harder than I could ever remember doing before.

Over the next three hours, Shane gave me one explosive orgasm after another, all with a different toy. I found that I loved playing with him like this and was almost scared that I’d become addicted to it. Breathless from another mind blowing release, I lay on top of Shane. We were both damp with sweat and borderline exhausted. With a growl, he held me close and I pillowed my head on his chest, comforted by the heavy pounding of his heartbeat.

“You are amazing,” he murmured, kissing the top of my head.

“So are you.”

“It’s never been like this for me before,” Shane confessed. “I’ve never felt like this.”

Curious, I propped my head up on my hand. “How do you feel?”

“More alive. Free. Captivated and enthralled.” He grinned. “I’m a little in awe of you and how much I love you, beautiful.”

My smile wasn’t as big as his as I tried to keep my sudden tears from spilling. “Me too. It’s a little scary.”

“No, baby. It is crazy scary, but that’s not a bad thing.” He pulled me back down so that I had my head on his chest once more. “Let’s get some rest and play some more.”

“You know, I really like it here.”

“Good. I’m glad I didn’t freak you out.”

“Maybe we can try out a few of the other rooms next time.”

He laughed. “Sure. Whichever one you want, beautiful.” 

Chapter 19

Harper

The yelling woke me from a deep sleep.

It took me a good thirty seconds to realize where I was. Over the last several months, I had spent equal time in Shane’s bed as I had my own. During that time I hadn’t slept alone once, so I was even more confused because I was alone now.

Shane’s raised voice brought me out of my confusion, and when I heard Lana join in, I became concerned. Since her miscarriage Lana’s emotions had been all over the place, but she had started acting more and more like the old Lana. By the time Drake had proposed a month ago we were all sure she was going to be alright.

But the way she was yelling at the moment told me she was far from fine about something. I could actually hear tears in her voice as she yelled at Shane.

Tossing the covers back, I grabbed the robe I had been leaving at Shane’s place. I was completely naked, but there was no time for more than the thin robe. I was just pulling it closed and tying it tight when I threw the door open and rushed down the hall to the living room.

The voices were louder now that they weren’t muffled behind the thick door of Shane’s bedroom. “I don’t give a fuck what you say! There will be no bachelor party.”

I froze in the entrance to the living room. Bachelor party? This was the first time I had heard anything about one, but of course I should have thought Shane would want to throw one for his brother. Still, I knew a little about the last bachelor party Shane and his brother had in Vegas just the year before.

“It isn’t going to be like that!” Shane defended. “I swear to you, sis. This is just going to be a bunch of guys getting together and catching up.”

“Which really means you are all going to a strip club. No.”

Yeah, that was the picture that had invaded my mind the minute the words bachelor party had been mentioned. If I had a say in it, my answer would be a loud no, too. In the months that Shane and I had been dating, we’d been nearly inseparable. I hadn’t even had one reason to be jealous of other women, but suddenly I was feeling very insecure.
