“Go away, Justice.”

He pulled her by her arm, casting his eyes around for somewhere private and found a door leading to a cleaning cupboard. Once inside, he closed the door and flicked the switch, giving him a small amount of light to see her. “I can’t do that.”

Lucía sniffed and held herself stiff, her wrist still in his grip and he released her. Before she could move away, he gripped her hips and crowded her against the wall. The hitch in her breath proved she was as affected as he was by their proximity.

“Of course you can. It’s what you do, isn’t it? Walk away without a goodbye.”

“It was, yes, and then I met this amazing woman who changed my life. She showed me that I was only half living before her. That life is about taking chances, not just with my body but with my heart.”

He stroked her hair back from her face and trailed his fingers down her throat, feeling the pulse in her neck pounding as hard as his heart was. “I love you, Lucía. God knows I didn’t plan to, but meeting you was the best thing to ever happen to me. You’re the other half of my soul, the light to my darkness, and I don’t want to spend a single second more without you by my side.”

“You love me?”

Reaper laughed then. “Love seems such a weak word for what I feel but, yes. I love and adore you.”

“Can we make this work, Justice? I can’t leave my family. It’s not like I can quit and I’d never ask you to leave Shadow. They’re as much your family as mine is to me.”

“We’ll find a way because I can’t live without you and if I have to leave Shadow to be with you, then that’s what I’ll do.”

“No, I couldn’t ask that.”

“You’re not asking. I love you, Lucía. You’re my life now, and if you want me, I’ll spend every day making sure you don’t regret falling for an idiot like me.”

“Never. I love you, Justice. I think I have from that first day.”

“Good. Now come here.”

He kissed her slow and lazily, his hands cupping her neck and her ass as he pulled her close. His body remembered every curve and dip of her sexy body. Desire hit like an earthquake and suddenly he was frenzied, the need to be inside her making him crazy. Her soft moans and whimpers as he kissed his way down her neck threatened his control, his hands pushing the top of her dress down so he could see her perfect tits.

“Christ, you’re beautiful.” As he dipped his head to suck one gorgeous nipple into his mouth through the lace, he felt her hands at his zipper.

“I need you inside me.”

His cock ached it was so hard for her as he dragged her skirt up, his fingers finding the lace of her underwear soaked through for him. “Goddammit, you’re so wet for me.”

His mouth found hers as he stroked through her flesh, making her arch against him searching for more. He filled her with two fingers, pushing inside her tight body and making them both groan. His thumb ran over her clit, and he fucked her with his hand until she fell apart, his mouth catching her cry of pleasure as his body took the weight of hers when her legs gave way.

Pulling his hand away he sucked his fingers into his mouth and moaned, low and deep at the taste of her, so sweet.

“Fuck me, Justice.”

Lifting her, he bunched her skirt and released his cock from his trousers and thrust inside her in one quick movement. Reaper stilled as he realised he’d taken her with no protection.

“It’s fine. I’m on the pill.”

Relief made him sigh and lust took over and he was holding her against the wall as he fucked her hard. Hands and mouths a frenzy of movement as he felt her begin to shake around his cock, her body tightening in that familiar way that preceded her climax. This time she took him with her, and he growled his release as pleasure like he’d never known before blasted through his spine leaving him weak.

As they both came down from their life-changing releases, he set her feet on the ground and straightened her clothes before he did the same. He didn’t let her go though. He didn’t know if he ever would again.

As he zipped up his trousers the door behind him opened wide and a giggling Bein and Aoife stood there. When they saw them, their jaws dropped in shock before Bein slammed the door.

Looking to Lucía he waited for her response and knew it was all going to be okay when she burst out laughing. “Oh. My. God.”

Her hands covered her face as she giggled, and he wrapped her in his arms, content to stay here for eternity as long as she was here too.

Epilogue

Reaper took a deep breath and knocked on the door, the elaborate crest of the royal family displayed with pride.
