Again, I nod my head.
“Good girl, Now repeat the colors,” he commands
“Kiwi for if there’s something I really like. Banana for something I’m uncomfortable with but not to the point I won’t try it again. Raspberry if it’s a no-go,” I murmur repeating him word for word.
“That’s a good girl. You, Kitten, are going to listen to me and listen good,” he mutters sitting down next to me on the bed, his fingers gliding across my stomach. “You fucked up tonight. From the time you moved here to start over, you fooled me into thinking you were just a boring, predictable woman who didn’t want nothing to do with anyone. Then tonight after whatever Raven told you, you Luna, showed me exactly what you were capable of. All that fire inside you wanting to be released. And now after the way you reacted to me in the living room. Submitting to me the way you did. I know what you need and I intend to give it to you. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually wanted a sub for my own. Honestly, don’t think I’ve ever truly had the desire to take one on as much as I do right now.”
Oh my God. He knows.
He doesn’t just know he just claimed me as his sub.
“Have you ever had a Dom, Luna?” he asks.
I shake my head, answering him honestly.
“Do you know the rules of the game?”
This time I nod in response.
“Good, now I’m going to go over my own rules,” he declares, his fingers trailing ever so slowly along my skin moving from the edge of my breast to just above my slit where I want to feel him most.
“From now on, unless I’m there to give you permission, you do not go to a club dressed the way you were tonight.”
See I knew I was an embarrassment.
“I don’t need every fuckers’, in the club, eyes on what’s mine. Second rule, you don’t dance the way you were tonight without me right there with you. You only do that in private. Too many dickheads were envisioning sinking their cocks into this,” Shadow states as he cups me between the apex of my thighs.
“Another thing is, you will not hide who you are anymore. Now that I’ve seen it, I don’t intend to have you hiding anymore. You will also never, and I mean never, fuckin’ do what you did tonight and leave the club without not only telling someone but by your fuckin’ self.” Shadow thrusts a finger inside my core and slides it slowly torturing me as he stresses each word.
“Focus, Kitten, I’m not done talking yet,” he mutters. “What you did tonight put yourself in danger, but it also scared people who care for you. It pissed me off thinking you might have been kidnapped again. That’s not a phone call I want to make to your pops.” My body tenses at the mention of my dad. “Oh, he knows where you are. He also knows you’re under our protection as well as knowing how this occurred.”
If he knows where I am, why hasn’t he contacted me. I guess I really don’t mean anything to him. Or my brothers for that matter.
“On to the next thing, if some bitch talks smack about you and you hear it, don’t let that shit get to you, if it does you come to me, tell me what the fuck happened and I’ll handle it. From here on out nothing hurts you without repercussions. Am I understood?” To this I nod in response. Even if he gave me permission to speak, I don’t think I could as his words sink inside me.
“Good girl,” he says pulling his finger from inside. A whimper escapes me, and I want to protest his movement. Lifting his hand to my face, he swipes his fingers across my lips coating them in the juice that gathered on them and leans forward and captures my mouth in a forceful yet soul searing kiss I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
Shadow breaks the kiss all to soon leaving me wanting more, the same as he left me needing him inside me. “Now, we’re going to sleep,” he announces, moving from the side of the bed in order to pull the comforter out from under me. Draping it over my naked body, he bends down and removes his boots. Straightening he undoes his jeans and drops them to the floor where he steps out of them. I barely have a chance to take in his naked glory when he joins me in the bed, positioning us until I’m lying on my side, back to his front and Shadow’s arms curled around me.
My heart starts to pound within my chest when not only was Shadow in my bed naked and his arms were around me, he had one cupping a breast the other palming my apex. I swear this is the most intimate position there is.
“Clear your mind, Kitten,” Shadow murmurs against the shell of my ear.
“How do I do that when I feel my world tipping upside down?” I whisper, into the silence that fills the room.
“You do it by closing your eyes and letting me take the weight off your shoulders. By knowing I’m here to keep you grounded as your world changes.” That sounded nice. Like really nice.
Closing my eyes, I do as he says and for the first time, I don’t count in my head. Not the days. Not the time. Not how many times he says fuck or my name. Nothing. For the first time I dream in peace.
Chapter Six
Shadow
Waking up to warmth against my chest is something I’ve never experienced before. Not in all my life. Every one of the women I used at Tainted X knew the deal. It’s why I went there for what I needed in the first place.
Though not one of those subs make me feel what Luna does.
After hearing her reasons for leaving last night, I’d nearly left right then and there and gone back to the club to find out who those bitches were to make sure they knew the repercussions of what they’d done. Hell, I still intend to do just that. Last night I needed to discipline Luna for what she’d done and fuck if her pussy didn’t glisten. And her reaction to my hand against her ass.
Fuck. She’s soaked even now in her sleep. Last night, I’d decided as part of her punishment, she needed to be worked up with my fingers and left tied to the bed. Now I’m ready to make her fully mine.
From her breathing, I know she’s not awake yet. Grinning, I slide my cock between her legs and rub him against her drenched sheath. With my hand between her thighs, I rub her clit as I tweak the nipple of the tit in my palm.
“Hmmm,” she hums in her sleep, wiggling her ass against me.
“Morning, Kitten, you ready for my cock this morning?” I murmur against the shell of her ear.
“Please,” she rasps, breathlessly.
“Please what, Kitten?” I growl.
“Please, Sir, I want you inside me,” she whispers, softly. Her body arching, begging for me to sink into her tight little pussy.
“Good girl,” Kissing the shell of her ear, I pull away from her and flip her to her back. Grabbing hold of both her legs, I lift them and place them on my shoulders as I center myself between them. “Who do you belong to?” I demand, lining my cock up with her entrance.
“Umm,” she murmurs.
“That’s not an answer, Luna. Now, I won’t ask you again. I do and you don’t get to come,” I enunciate all the while sliding my cock inside her slick, hot pussy inch by excruciatingly slow inch.
“You,” Luna whimpers.
“You, who?”
“You, Sir.”
“Good girl, now hold on cause I’m going to fuck you hard.” Luna’s moans of pleasure are what I receive in response and are music to my fuckin’ ears.
Sliding out of her until only the head of my cock is still inside her, I slam back to the hilt. Luna screams out in pleasure and spurs me on. Hammering into her throwing her into edge and then into bliss. I drop her legs off my shoulders, lean forward, bury my face in the crease of her neck and shoulder where I bite down marking her as mine at the same time my cock twitches and I come deep inside her.
Groaning, I lift my head, I admire the woman who is now mine. Without giving her any of my weight, I reach out and release her arms from my belt. A sigh escapes from between her lips at this movement. Knowing I need to take care of her, I flip our positions without her losing my cock. Settled on my chest, I massage both of Luna’s arms and shoulders.
“Hmmm, that feels so good,” she whispers d
rowsily.
“Feels good, my cock is still inside your pussy, Kitten,” I chuckle. Luna moans in agreement.
“You going back to sleep on me?” I grin, peering down to catch a glimpse of her face.
“Still tired,” she mumbles, inaudible.
Furrowing my brow, I wonder just how much she’s used to sleeping. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand, I realized we’d been in bed for twelve hours and she’s still tired. “Luna, how much time do you normally sleep?”
“I can’t without my medicine,” she whispers almost as if she were already asleep.
Fuck me.
She doesn’t sleep without something to help her sleep. Yet last night in my arms she slept, peacefully. Shit, if I want to be honest with myself, I slept just as great as she did for the first time since the night before my brother was killed and I’d taken the life of the fucker who hit him with his car.
As Luna falls into another sleep, I run my fingers through her hair. The naked truth of her is out in the open, well, besides a couple things but I have an idea of the answers to those questions. The knowledge that Luna feels safe enough next to me to sleep, I’ll let her. She’s gone long enough doing shit on her own. And as much as I’d like to play the ‘what if’ game I’m not about to do that shit. I ask myself if I’d been there the entire time for her would she have been unable to sleep.
No because we both dealt our hands through the years. Luna threw a cloak over herself in order to shield the true beauty that is her. Me, being blind didn’t see through the layers to the woman she really is.
Sighing, I maneuver the covers back over us. With Luna still filled with my cock I’m not about to move her off of me. I close my eyes and drift back to sleep myself.
Pounding on the front door stirs me from a sleep.
“What’s going on?” Luna asks, sleepily as she looks up at me. Somehow in our sleep, we’d moved until we were both on our sides. Her leg cocked over mine. My arms surrounding her.
“I don’t know, Kitten, but I’m gonna go find out,” I murmur pressing a kiss to her forehead, as I slide her leg from my body and climb out of the bed. Slipping my jeans on, I don’t bother with the button. “Stay here.”
“Okay.” At her response I leave the bedroom and make my way to the front door as the pounding on the door persists.
“What?” I demand upon opening the door only to groan at the sight of not just one of the ol’ ladies but all of them.
“Don’t what me, mister? You don’t get to keep us away from Luna, after all of us being upset about her going missing last night,” Victoria declares, hands on her hips.
“Exactly. We want to know exactly what happened last night and why Nerd refused to let us know what he saw on the surveillance feed. I might not have been there last night, but I was there listening to them all last night when they got back to the clubhouse. I know whatever he saw was bad. Now let us see our girl,” Momma B huffs.
I thought Raven would be putting her input in. She normally does, but right now she’s merely staring at me as if she were seeing all my demons. Rachel on the other hand was biting her lip and blushing as she takes in the state of my clothing.
“Umm, I think maybe we should give them a bit,” Rachel suggests, quietly. Over the last while she hadn’t been acting herself. Not like the woman who first came here. We all know she loves our Prez, but I’ve seen the insecurities shining in her eyes as she’s fought her own demons. Ones that have been hurting her from the moment she found out about Boss having a child by her ol’ man. She’d been battling those feelings for a while and I think after a conversation with Tinsley, we’d overheard her having, Stoney realized just how much it was fuckin’ with her. I’m guessing this because over the last few weeks they’ve seemed to be doing a hell of a lot better.
“What? No, I’m not leaving. This jerk has ignored our phone calls all blessed day and I want to see Luna,” Victoria yells.
“Vi,” Rachel murmurs, moving her gaze between the two of us, narrowing her eyes.
“Women, respect y’all, you know this. However, you all will need to wait. Reason I didn’t answer your calls PIMA is because I was asleep up until you started pounding on the door. Now if you want to see Luna go grab some Mexican or something and I’ll bring her to the clubhouse for you all to talk with her while I deal with some shit. That work for you,” I state, firmly holding the woman who’s been a pain in my ass for years.
“Fine, but if you two aren’t at the clubhouse in an hour I’m coming after you,” she snaps.
“We’ll be there,” I mutter and close the door making sure to lock it.
Shaking my head, I make my way to my woman and find she’s not in the bed like I told her to be. Instead, I hear the water running from the en suite bathroom.
Grinning, I shuck my jeans back off and make my way to her. She’s going to learn when I tell her to do something, I mean it.
Chapter Seven
Luna
How in the world did I let my world get twisted upside down?
I’ll tell you how.
Shadow.
The man has a way of making me feel so light yet grounded at the same time. For the first time in two years I feel like myself again.
After the ol’ ladies from the club decided to interrupt the best sleep I’ve had, in the same amount of time as feeling like myself, Shadow joined me in the shower where he showed me the error of my ways for not waiting on him.
It was well worth it.
We ended up at the clubhouse, me with the girls while he handled some shit he needed to do. I was in the middle of enjoying my three amigos, something I hadn’t had before but oh my God it’s the best. Rachel showed me if you dip a tortilla chip in salsa then scoop some rice with the veggies and one of the meats it’s even better. She wasn’t lying either. Anyway, I’d all but been in the midst of a food-gasm when Shadow stepped up behind me, curled a hand in my hair, and tilted my head back. His eyes sparked with a humor but there was a hint of lust in them.
“Be back, Kitten. Don’t leave,” he’d muttered, kissing me. Shadow then whispered in my ear, “You don’t make noises like that unless my cock is filling you. Got me?” Unable to answer, I nodded my head.
Little did I know that when he left it was to track down the three women from last night. Him, and three of his other brothers brought them to the clubhouse under false pretenses. Then he proceeded to inform them of their wrongdoings and demanded they apologize not only to me for what they’d said but to the other ol’ ladies as well.
What happened after that I thought would have come from Victoria or Raven even. I didn’t expect Rachel to step up to them and bitch slap the first one, punch the second one in the eye, and send the third one to the floor by a fist to the gut. “Don’t think you can talk about any of my family without the repercussions. My ol’ man may be the Prez of this club, but I’m the queen and I’ll be fuckin’ damned if some bitches like you will attack one of mine. Now get the hell out of here and I suggest you never go to that club or any other we’re known to go to.”
I’d been speechless with what Rachel said. She then turned, faced me, and pointed. “Don’t ever let women like these skanks ever subject you to feeling as if you can’t hold your head up. We all have our own insecurities but you and I, sweetheart, we’re better than skanky whores like them that have to tear other women up in order to make themselves feel better.”
From that night, Rachel became one of my best friends and not just one of the women I knew from the MC.
Since then Shadow and I have gotten closer to each other. In more ways than one. He’s shown me in more ways than one how he can command my body to his will, and I’ve loved every minute of it. We’d talked about birth control when I found out he had no intention of wearing a condom with me. Said if I wanted to get on the pill then I needed to do it. Otherwise he didn’t care.
Evidently, he’d made his mind up and was making me his. I didn’t know what to think about this at first
then he’d laid it out for me. “Do you want anyone else? Do you think someone else would be able to give you what I do? Make you feel the way you do? Care for you as much as I do? Love you in the way I do?” My answer to each of these questions was a ‘no’.
I did ask him about that last question he’d thrown in there.
His words were simple as he smirked. “I know what I want when I want it. I’m not about to let it slip through my fingers and get away from me. Not happenin’. I let you fool me for a long-time, Kitten. Now that your light is shining through the shadows of the dull, I’m keeping you. You make me want to be more. You get what I’m saying?”
It’d taken everything in me to keep from crying. Because I felt that too. Shadow makes me want to be more as well.
The only thing we hadn’t talked about in the last five weeks was the fact Shadow knew who my father was. I do admit this does alarm me, and I can’t help but question whether my stepmother knows where I am as well.
So finally, after weeks of not asking, I lift my eyes up to meet Shadow’s eyes across the table at Marshall’s, the best steakhouse in the area. “I want to talk to my dad,” I blurt.
“Come again?” he asks, putting his beer back on the table in front of him as he stares at me.
“I want to talk to my dad,” I state.
“No one’s holding you back from talking to him, Luna.” Reaching out, Shadow grasps my fingers and squeezes my hand.
“What?” I’m baffled by this.
“Kitten, the only one holding you back from talking to him or your brothers for that matter is you. Those men get weekly reports on how you’re doing, and I’ll tell you now if my brother were still here it would tear me up the way it does your brothers not being in your life.”
Oh my God. I didn’t know he had a brother. Anytime I’ve broached the subject of the past he’s changed the subject. This is the first time he’s even mentioned a hint of his past.
