My knights dropped to their knees and lowered their heads. Luca gathered my hair in his hands, and I waited with nervous anticipation, barely able to control my rapid breathing. With each breath, my chest ached. Luca’s fingers brushed my hot skin, leaving a trail of fire in his wake. I leaned back against his chest, consumed by his delicious scent, entranced by the overwhelming sensation of his lips on my neck.
He kissed my neck as the Knights kneeled patiently before their future king and queen. I glanced up at my handsome Devil, staring into his intense, blue irises that held me within his clutches. I’d always gotten lost in those eyes that would frighten most people. With one look, you could see look Luca was a bad man. Most people feared him, but with each day that drew closer to our wedding day, I saw the man who owned my heart.
Luca clutched my chin and tilted my head until our eyes met. “Are you sure about this, Drea?”
I nodded.
“You remember what we rehearsed?”
“Yes,” I whispered, and then he released my chin.
His hand moved to my bare backside, his fingers digging into my ass. “Then it’s time to choose your Knights.”
Luca’s long fingers brushed my stomach, and I shivered from his delicate touch. His careful perusal extended to my nipples, which were painfully sore from the chill in the air.
“Where do I start?” I asked Luca.
He pinched my nipple as his teeth grazed my ear. “Who do you want most?”
I stepped out of Luca’s grasp and moved toward my knights. They were so silent I couldn’t even hear them breathing. With Luca keeping his distance behind me, I moved between them, unsure of where to start. As much as I wanted Marcello, I knew I should begin with Sonny. My gut instinct told me he was the right choice. So I moved to where he kneeled and shoved the hood off his head.
Sonny glanced up at me, his green eyes flickering with mischief as they raked over my naked body with fascination. He looked like a child on Christmas morning, his present already unwrapped and waiting for him to play. A semblance of a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“I choose you, Shane Cormac.” My heart hammered in my chest as my fingers brushed his cheek. “Do you swear to protect your queen, now and forever?”
Sonny nodded. “I do.”
It felt strange to use his full name, but Luca had mentioned it was part of the ceremony.
I held out my hand, and he slipped his fingers between mine. They were long and warm, and I could tell Sonny worked on his boat often by the roughness of his skin. He liked to tie knots, and if given a chance, he would have tied me up, too.
I took his hand and moved it to my inner thigh, permitting him to touch me. This was part of Legare. The queen had to choose her Knights. Then she had to let those she deemed worthy worship her.
Luca moved behind me, digging his fingers into my hips as Sonny inched his way up my thigh. The combination of their hands on me sent a flush of heat throughout my body. It felt so good I closed my eyes and moaned as Sonny’s finger traced the length of my wet folds.
Luca held me against his chest, raising my arms above my head so that he could wrap my arms around his neck. It wasn’t the most comfortable position, but when Sonny’s tongue rolled over my clit, my thighs trembled. He pushed my legs apart, his fingers burrowing into my skin as he licked every inch of my pussy.
“Do you like seeing Sonny on his knees, splitting you open with his tongue?” Luca whispered the words against my ear. “Huh, baby girl? Tell me.”
“Yes,” I moaned as Sonny did something with his tongue that made me scream.
“Do you feel like a queen?” Luca asked.
“No,” I choked out. “I feel like a goddess.”
I could feel him smile against my ear.
Someone snapped their fingers in front of my face and yelled my name. As I slowly came out of the fog, Marcello was in front of me with a frustrated expression on his face. I grabbed the hard surface beneath me, only to realize it was Sonny’s thigh.
“Alex.” Marcello waved his hand. “Are you in there?”
“Yes,” I muttered, though I wasn’t sure if I was okay. “I had a flashback. When Sonny touched me, it triggered memories from that night.”
“You remember?” Sonny said with childlike excitement in his voice.
“Just the part with you,” I told him.
Marcello leaned forward and put his hand on my arm. “We need you to remember everything.”
“I can’t believe Luca let us do that,” I said in disbelief.
“He would do anything for you,” Marcello assured me. “You underestimate his feelings for you.”
