“It isn’t wrong,” I repeat to myself, over and over, as I surrender to my orgasm.

It’s even more intense than last time, and I feel my legs turning to jelly. I lower the temperature of the water to try to allow some cooler air to pass over my heated body. I can barely breathe.

After a few minutes, I feel myself starting to calm. Tiredness hits me again. It’s been a whirlwind twenty-four hours. I need to sleep. Stepping out of the shower, I wrap myself in a towel and make my way into the bedroom.

I sit down on the bed, and the next thing I know, it’s morning, and Cecilia is being ushered into the bedroom.

EATON

It’s been a week since I brought Shelby to the mansion. She’s still locked in her room most of the time, mainly for her own safety, but I can watch her whenever I want.

She’s brought herself to orgasm twice more since that first night in the shower. Those videos have been removed from everyone else’s sight. They’re for my eyes only and have become my most viewed. I also haven’t seen my father since his ultimatum. I will marry Shelby when I think the time is right. My father has managed to survive nineteen years without her half of the business; he can wait a few more months.

“Have we got the figures for last week’s takings yet?” I question Max, who’s sitting opposite me in my office.

“I’ll chase them again later today. We should have had them by now.”

“I don’t like people messing me around. Inform them that if I don’t have the figures by this evening, their jobs are on the line.” I snap back at him.

“I’ll be sure to let them know you’re on the warpath,” he replies with a chuckle.

“I don’t need snide remarks from you,” I growl.

“I’m just worried you’re a little tightly wound at the moment.” Max knows me better than anyone. I can’t hide a thing from him.

“Maybe I should do what my father wants and just drag Shelby down the aisle. She’s nothing more than a means to an end.” I sigh heavily. Sitting back in my chair.

“You won’t do that.”

“Won’t I?”

“No, the fact she is yours means something to you. It puts her under your protection, and you won’t see her hurt as a result. It’s the way you are. It shows you do have heart in there…somewhere.”

“It’s not a heart that can love, Max. It never will be. Love doesn’t exist for me. I know it’s what you and Lena have together, but you’re both lucky.”

“I never said you should love her. I know you better than that. But she is yours, and you won’t let anyone else have her. It’s in your nature to be possessive. You were the same with your toys as a child. I always wanted to play with your cars, but you never let me near them.”

It’s my turn to laugh this time. “And I still won’t let you near my cars. I’ve seen the way you drive. You’d wrap my Ferrari around a tree in the first few minutes.”

“I had one little accident, and you’ve never let me live it down.”

“I’m sure you would feel the same. Where’s Lena today?”

“With Shelby, they are becoming good friends. It’s nice for Lena to have another female around. I think she gets bored with just the two of us.”

I know for a fact Lena does find us boring company. I’m glad she has someone else to talk to. “I hope she’s letting Shelby know that sex is fun. If my father wants her pregnant within a few weeks, Shelby’s going to have to get used to the idea very quickly.”

“I’m sure Lena is saying all the right things. She loves sex. You’ve seen us do it enough times to know that.”

“I have. Actually…” A thought hits me. I get up from my chair. “Follow me.”

As always, Max obeys. He’s only ever once not followed my rules , and that was to save Lena when I said he shouldn’t get involved. I hadn’t realized the extent of his feelings for her at the time. He was right, and I was, for the first and only time in my life, willing to admit I was in the wrong. He still got a beating, though, for ignoring my instructions.

We make our way to Shelby’s room. She and Lena are sitting on the bed watching television. Shelby has been doing a lot of that as she didn’t have a tv in the trailer. She’s developed a love of documentaries, especially those involving animals. Lena gets up from the bed and goes straight to Max when we enter. Shelby stays on the bed but turns the television off.

“Come here,” I instruct.
