“Gross. Did you have to say that?” I shiver. “That one looks really old.” I point to a gold pocket watch.
“It’s not as old as some.”
Eaton is behind me. Filling my space and leaving me breathless again. He wraps his hand around my neck and effortlessly turns me to face him.
“It was once owned by Al Capone.”
“The legendary mafia boss.”
“The one and only.”
“I won’t ask how you got it.”
“Best not to. It involved loss of limbs.”
As we speak, our mouths move closer and closer together until we’re kissing.
“I’m ready.” I pull away from Eaton and look up to him. “No more lies, I know all about you and what I’m getting into. I know about the money, and I know the monster my father was. I’m not stupid enough to believe this is going to be the greatest love story ever, but I know the truth and that’s enough. You said you would look after me, and I believe it. I want to be looked after for the first time in my life, and I know I won’t be a whore if I do.” My words are straight from the heart.
I know what Eaton and I have will never be conventional. It will never be the romance of fairy tales; I doubt it will ever be true love, but it’s honest and raw.
“I want to say no to you, but I can’t anymore. You’re mine, and I’m going to take you.”
Eaton sweeps me up into his arms and carries me down a hallway and into a bedroom. It’s masculine in style with dark grays and rich teal colors.
“I’ve never brought another woman into this room. It’s my sacred place,” Eaton informs me, and the admission shows me how special the moment between us will be.
“Thank you for letting me know that.”
Eaton reaches down to the hem of my dress and pulls it up and over my head. My hair tumbles free from the fancy hairstyle Cecilia gave me. I’m still wearing the diamond choker at my neck. Reaching behind me, I remove the strapless bra I’ve been wearing. My thong already gone, I stand naked in front of Eaton.
He inhales deeply, his eyes roaming hungrily over my body.
“It’s my turn to swear, looking at you. Fuck, Shelby, you are so beautiful.”
I flush with embarrassment, but my mouth broadens into a wide smile.
“I believe you. It’s the first time someone has said that to me and I’ve agreed.”
Eaton shrugs off his jacket and removes his tie. It’s my turn to stare. Licking my lips, I watch as he undoes the buttons of his shirt and lowers it over his arms. His muscular chest is revealed as well as his taut abs.
I let out a long exhale. “I’ve never seen you workout. How did you get a body like that? Is it natural?”
Eaton steps up to me, and his groin rubs against mine. I can feel the hardness of his cock against my sex.
“I exercise. I have to work hard to look like this.” He smiles and steps away from me again.
He reaches for his belt at his waist, and his eyes stare directly into mine as he removes it. His pants follow next; he lowers them down his legs before his shoes are kicked off and socks removed. He’s almost naked, apart from the tented underwear that covers his erection.
I gulp. Nerves flutter in my stomach.
“Shelby, look at me.”
My eyes snap to meet his.
“No one will hurt you.”
“I know.”
