for a moment. She thought he might break it, but he used it to tantalize her, dragging the metal along her skin as he licked and nipped.

As she floated down, surrounded by a cloud of utter bliss, Jozef reached his own peak. He thrust his tongue into her ear as he came inside her, his cock growing unbearably large. The sensation of his tongue in her ear and his cock slamming against her cervix sent Shaun spiralling over the edge once more.

As they both drifted back to the present, Jozef pressed his forehead to hers, their breaths mingling in unison. Finally, he pulled out of her. Instead of stepping away, he ran his fingers through her folds, gathering their combined fluids. He brought his fingers up to her mouth, the scent of them reaching out to her in an erotic embrace.

He held still, waiting for her. She leaned forward and sucked his fingers into her mouth, swirling her tongue around the roughened digits. He growled, the sound sending pleasurable shivers down her spine. Then he took it one step further and leaned in to take her lips, thrusting his tongue past his own fingers into the depths of her mouth, then finishing by sucking his own finger.

Shaun was breathless and brainless by the time he stepped away from her. She was so fuck-drunk, the mansion could’ve caught on fire and she wouldn’t have noticed.

“I’m a mess,” she said, with a breathless laugh. She was giddy from the endorphins rushing through her.

You will not clean up; you will wear our love proudly on your thighs.

She stared at him in shock. Not because he was asking her to walk around a room full of people with his cum dripping down her legs. He’d used the wrong sign for love. Instead of tapping his fist against his palm as if to say something was a symbol of love, such as their combined fluids, he used the crossed fists. Romantic love. Unless her sign language lessons were completely failing her, his words roughly translated to, “I love you and want the world to know.”

He helped her off the table, lowered her skirt and took her hand, leading her from the closet.

Chapter Forty-Two

“There you two are,” Dasha scolded, though her tone was jovial. The party was turning into a spectacular success and it was clear she couldn’t be happier. “Come meet the Croziers, they flew in from New York just to be here for your special day.”

Shaun and Jozef linked fingers, a united force, as they were paraded around the ballroom and introduced to a dizzying number of people. Shaun accepted a champagne glass somewhere along the way, and another as her empty one was replaced the instant the last drop slipped down her throat. She didn’t drink often and was beginning to feel the effects of the champagne. She became more relaxed, her responses to whatever inquiries came her way far more candid than they would have been if she’d been sober.

For a shining moment, Shaun felt as if she belonged to this glamorous and wealthy family. She was one of them. She was able to talk about her career with their guests as if it were simply on hold while she and Jozef figured out their future together. No longer the kidnap victim, she could pretend that she and the man by her side were deeply in love.

Dasha explained to Princess Amelia of Andorra that Jozef and Shaun had met in a hospital in Ukraine while she was treating him for concussion. Shaun laughed in all the right places as doctor-patient jokes became the norm for the evening. She smiled and faked her way through everything, pretending she was nothing more than a soon-to-be happy bride, while the slippery sensation between her thighs reminded her of her closet tryst.

It wasn’t until she looked at her fiancé that she saw the truth in the shutter that had dropped over his face as she was paraded in front of dozens of crime families. It didn’t take Shaun long to realize that she was being shown off to all these people, not as a way to introduce her to the world, but to tie her more firmly to the family. Being known by everyone who associated with the Kobas would make escape that much more impossible. She was well and truly caught in their trap. Her introduction also had the added bonus of ensuring she looked like a happy, healthy and very willing soon-to-be bride if
