Lily hastily turned away.

“I think the floor is crowded enough.” she stood up.

“It isn’t downstairs,” Shade said, taking her hand. “Knox?”

“Coming.”

Shade turned to Viper and Razer. “Later.”

“Happy New Year, brother,” Viper said, lifting his beer up.

“You, too.”

Shade led Lily downstairs where he turned on a couple of the lamps then the music. He pulled up the workout mats, placing them against the wall before holding out his arms for her. She stepped into his arms without hesitation.

Knox and Diamond came downstairs, closing the door behind them, and then they began dancing next to them.

Shade was aware of Lily’s wariness to be around Knox. He was the one she had spent the least amount of time around her in this setting.

They danced several dances before Shade went upstairs, getting beers for him and Knox, bringing sodas for Lily and Diamond.

After sitting and talking for a while, Knox and Diamond went to the dance floor to dance again.

“Are you having fun?” Shade asked, sitting down on the couch next to her.

“Yes. I like Diamond.” Lily lowered her voice. “Shade, she really doesn’t believe that zombies are going to take over the world, does she?”

Shade laughed. “I have no idea. I think she just watches too many zombie movies.”

“See, that’s why I don’t watch scary movies.” She gave him an I-told-you-so look.

“Why? Are you susceptible to movies?”

“Scary ones. They give me nightmares.”

“Porn?” Shade leaned over her.

“No.” Lily hit his shoulder, laughing. Her laughter broke off when he stared down at her breasts.

Her sweater was barely on her shoulder, the cleft between her breasts slightly visible.

His mouth touched hers, parting her lips with a firm thrust of his tongue, demanding her response. She widened her lips, letting him take what he wanted from her.

He brought his hand to her shoulder, brushing the sweater off it. His mouth followed the path of the top while his other hand slid it off the other shoulder. Only her breasts held up her sweater.

Then Shade leaned closer to her, pressing Lily against the corner of the couch. His hand went to her thigh, sliding underneath her skirt and finding the edge of her panties.

The music changed to a different song and she pushed him off her, sitting upright. Lily looked quickly toward the dance floor. The couple dancing wasn’t paying any attention to them, lost in their own world.

Knox was standing behind Diamond, grinding his hips into her ass, his arm around her waist to pull her back against him. Diamond was dancing with her eyes closed, listening to the music, and Knox was only looking at Diamond.

Shade stood up, pulling Lily to her feet before lifting her into his arms. He carried her back to the bedroom where he set her on her feet next to the bed then turned on the bedside lamp.

He took off his clothes then reached out, taking off her sweater and bra, his lips kissing each nipple when he pulled it off.

“Sit down.”

After Lily sat down on the edge of the bed, Shade bent down, pulling off her shoes and then kissing each foot. He then stood up, tossing her shoes out of the way.

Bending over, he kissed her, giving her the passion she had been waiting for. His teeth nipped her bottom lip, giving her a small sting of pain, which he laved away with the tip of his tongue before he pressed her back against the mattress.

Lily tore her mouth away from his. “Where did this furniture come from?”

“I ordered another set. It came yesterday.”

“Oh.” Lily looked thoughtful for a second. “Why?”

“For when I want to play over here,” he explained, taking a nipple into his mouth.

“Ohhh,” Lily moaned as he bit down on the tip of her breast.

Just as her thigh came up, rubbing against his hip, Knox came in, carrying a wiggling Diamond on his shoulder.

“Bed or couch?” Knox asked, pausing long enough to shut the door with his foot.

“Bed.”

Diamond and Lily both squealed; however, Shade covered her mouth with his.

The bed lurched as Diamond was dropped onto the opposite end.

“Shade, I—” Lily started to protest.

“Lily, it’s my turn,” he said with a smile. “And I’m cashing in another of my IOUs.”

He returned his mouth to play with her breasts, not giving her time to think.

The mattress underneath them shook as Knox undressed Diamond.

Shade straightened, standing up. “You got your cuffs?”

“Always,” Knox grunted.

Shade grinned when he saw Diamond slap Knox’s bald head as he pulled his handcuffs out of his pocket. He reached into his nightstand for his own pair while Lily lay staring in disbelief up at him as he slipped one cuff onto her wrist then stretched, snapping the other to Diamond’s wrist above her head. Shade then lifted her other wrist and handcuffed it, also stretching her arm above her head so Knox could handcuff them together.

They started wiggling and when Diamond tried to lower her wrists, it stretched Lily taut on the mattress. When Lily tried to lower hers, it stretched Diamond’s body taut. Shade could come simply from watching them do that. It was sexy as hell.

“Fuck,” Knox’s groaned, just as turned on.

Lily stared up at him as Shade stared down at her, his eyes filling with desire for her. Only her.

Lily understood his silent message, relaxing back against the mattress. Shade saw the resolve in her eyes and grinned, knowing she was going to let him play.

The mirrors on the walls reflected the four of them. Lily and Diamond were lying on opposite sides of the huge bed, handcuffed together, Shade was naked, and Knox was getting undressed.

Lily’s mouth dropped open, and she squinted her eyes at Knox’s cock.

Shade frowned. She had never stared at his cock the way she was gaping at Knox’s. Shade was big himself, yet Knox’s cock was big and pierced. He couldn’t have her staring at Knox’s cock like that. Fuck, he didn’t mind getting any tat she wanted him to get, but he wasn’t getting a piercing.

Shade opened the nightstand again, pulling out several silk scarves and tossing a few to Knox. Shade wound a scarf around the inside of Lily’s cuff so it wouldn’t scratch her before he did the same to the other wrist.

Turning to the wall, he turned on the music.

“You have a thing for music, don’t you?” Lily teased.

“It inspires me,” Shade replied, smiling before stepping back between her legs and reaching for the waistband of her skirt. Then he pulled it and her panties off.

Shade reached for another silk scarf, placing it over her eyes and tying it behind her head as Knox tied one on Diamond.

“I could jack off just looking at you like this.” Shade’s voice was hoarse as he stared down at her body. He lifted his eyes briefly to see Knox sliding his hand up and down his cock as he stared down at Diamond.

Shade placed his mouth on the curve of her stomach, his tongue tasting her flesh. Diamond moved, bringing Lily’s arms up, stretching her taut on the mattress.

Lily gasped as his lips and tongue explored the bare skin of her pussy, his tongue dipping inside the slit, licking the top of her clit before sliding underneath, searching for the nerve endings which were screaming for attention.
