“I could, but you wouldn’t like the way I did it.” He grinned.
I sighed. I guess I was exhausted, and being with Amelia was good for me right now.
“Shoot my legs off?”
“Something like that. At least your girl will love you no matter if you have legs or not.” He came closer and rested a hand on my shoulder. “Go, be with her. Tomorrow, I’ll make sure the boys and I guard her with our lives.”
“Thank you.”
“No thanks needed. Boss.”
I was reminded of how annoyed he’d been when Raphael chose me and not him. He moved past me and went through the door.
I then headed back upstairs to Amelia’s room.
I expected her to be sleeping, but she was sitting up on the bed wide awake.

“I thought you were sleeping,” I moved to sit next to her on the bed.
Amelia hugged her knees to her chest. The motion caused the delicate straps of her negligee to slip down her shoulders.
“I was,” she replied, voice faint and weary. “I just woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. There were voices in the house, strange people… just like before.”
“Before?” I didn’t know what she meant.
“The night my mother died. My father’s men came here. It was the first time I saw what we were… Not normal.” She looked troubled.
“Amelia—” She stopped me with a kiss. She moved so quickly to my lips that I didn’t even register what she was doing.
I was about to launch into my strength pep talk from earlier, but the kiss robbed me of my thoughts.
She moved and shuffled so that she was in my lap, then those long golden legs wrapped around me as she straddled me.
I kissed her back with the same passion she fed me, indulging in her hot, wet mouth, indulging in the taste of her.
Indulging in her and all that made this woman mine.
“Luc, make love to me.” Her whisper was like a feather-soft caress on my lips. “I want it like how it was before, when we were just wild and free and indulged in each other.”
“Here?” I was very aware that this was her bedroom and Raphael was nearby. “You sure we won’t give your father a heart attack?” I didn’t know where the strength came from to chuckle, but I did.
She moved back and gave me a sassy look that oozed seduction. When she reached for the hem of that already sexy-as-hell negligee and pulled the thing over her head to unveil her beautiful naked body, my heart stilled and my cock instantly hardened.
The vision of her sexiness was enhanced when she loosened the band holding her hair up in a ponytail and that gorgeous mass of hair tumbled down her shoulders and over her fully rounded breasts. My eyes zeroed in on her taut strawberry-pink nipples begging to be sucked.
“You can touch me if you want to Lucian. I swear my dad won’t come in here. His room’s several doors down.” She smiled as I continued to stare. “You’re looking at me like it’s the first time you’ve seen me naked.”
“It’s always like the first time, and yes, I will touch you.” I absolutely fucking would. “Lie down and open your legs. I want to make you feel good. Make you forget everything.”
She did as I asked, resting back against the stack of pillows and opening her legs.
She was a beautiful, sexy sight and all mine for the taking. The pretty little pink thong she wore just enhanced the vision of her.
