Summary: Liam and Si spend the night together. His hope is that she will leave all the pain behind and join him in Cordonia. How will she enter his social season? Someone from home may have the answer to that. An object of the past is uncovered; a secret is revealed.

“Tell me that you want me, this, us. Tell me what you want me to do to your luscious body…” he whispers into her ear, in a deep, husky voice. His breath sends a bolt of electricity down her spine, she can feel her core responding to him. “Your scent is driving me crazy, I want you, all of you, let me show you what it means to be treated like the goddess you were born to be.” Liam had no idea how true his last words were, this moment was years in the making. Liam picks her up and ask where her bedroom was; Si points to the room at the end of the hall.

Si cannot form the words to speak. How can this man want her like this? No man has ever aroused her like this, her desire for him goes much deeper than she has ever felt. Her brain is screaming for her to stop; that this will only end in more bitterness and tears.

“Yes, I want you. Please.” she pleads.

Her body wanted him, and heart wanted to be his and only his.   He gently guides to her bed and lays her down. She pulls him down into a kiss, his hands slip under her shirt, he only breaks the kiss to remove her shirt and bra quickly, she does the same for him. He makes quick work of her jeans and panties. He lays on top of her, she spreads her leg to cradle his body. She can feel his erect length pressed against her aching core. She runs her hands up Liam’s chest and hooks them behind his neck.   His kisses become more possessive, his tongue dominating hers. His lion is pressing to take control. He is struggling to maintain control. Tonight, it is about Si, her needs, her wants, and her desire.

He pulls away from her only to remove his trouser, his length sprang free. Her eyes widen with anticipation.  He stands before her; Si looks him up and down through hooded eyes. Liam resumes his position over Si.   She slides her hands down his chiseled abs. She takes his length in her hands, he feels like steel encased in velvet. Liam soft growls at her touch. She pumps her hand up and down his length marveling in how she is making his breath hitch. He never breaks eye contact with her.

“God, my cock feels so good in your hand, but this about you, Love.  I want to be balls deep inside your slick, tight pussy.  I was to feel you writhe in pleasure as I fuck you slow and deep.  I will fuck you until you lose the ability to speak.  I will cum so deep in your pussy. I want to feel your pussy cum on my cock, but first I must taste you.” his voice is deep and husky.

Liam kisses her lips, then moves to her neck just above her collarbone. He plants kisses down the valley of her large breasts. Licking and biting her right breast, while rolling her left nipple between his fingers. The sensation of pain and pleasure further ignites the flames that are pooling between her legs.  He takes her right nipple in between his teeth.  Si moans in ecstasy.  No man has ever made her feel so much.

“You are so fucking wet. So wet.” He spreads her pussy open, sliding one finger in and out of her slick core, then added another. As he is pumping his fingers in and out of her, he sucks her clit into his mouth and growls. Pleasure reverberates through her body in a wave that catches her off guard. Si chokes out a scream sinking her fingers into his golden locks. “You taste so fucking good.  You have the sweetest honey, it is dripping down my fingers” He removes his fingers and plunges his tongue deep into her core. First, he is gentle, but each little growl builds anticipation, causing her core to pulsate.  He licks her faster. Harder. Rougher.  He is relentless with his speed and agility. She gasps, choking on yet another scream.  Liam feels her legs shaking as an orgasm grips her; she is screaming his name.  He moves up her body and kisses her deeply, she can taste herself on his tongue.

“I want to fuck you so bad. I cannot think straight.” Liam aligns his cock at her entrance and slowing plunges into her. “Oh, fuck!” Liam growls. “You are a tight, little thing.” Little? No one ever calls her little. Si moans at the almost burning sensation of his cock pressing into her pussy walls. He is big, long, and thick. she hadn’t had sex for about two years not since her last mistake of a boyfriend and he didn’t have his length or girth. She groans at how full she feels. He is fully in her, so deep she can barely breathe. He gives her time to adjust to him, he pulls almost out of her and buries himself inside her again.  With each thrust, Si feels him is going deeper than the last. There is pleasure and a little pain with each thrust.

“I like how wet you are. So slick and tight. You are so fucking sexy,” Each thrust wake nerves she didn’t even know existed. Her body is a coil waiting to snap. Gasps, moans, growls, and names being whispered like a prayer, are the only sounds in the room. Si is begging for release.  Liam slips his hand in between their sweat coated bodies and rubs her hard-little nerve bundle. “I want you to come with me,” Liam growls, his voice is raspy and thick. “I want to feel your pussy sucking the cum from my cock.”  His sultry voice pushes her over the edge.  A new, much more intense orgasm overtakes Si. Her pussy grips Liam’s cock tight. He thrusts one more deep, painful thrust and roars. His cock grows, pulsing and fills her with his cum. A second, powerful, orgasm ripples through her body from the feeling of his cock spilling streams of cum inside her. “Oh, God, Liam!” she screams.  Si feels as if she is boneless.

He clings to Si as she comes down from her last orgasm. “You are so beautiful,” he whispers in her ear, his breath was still heavy. He pulls out once he has softened, Si feels empty as he leaves her bed and walks into the bathroom.  He comes back with a warm towel as cleans them both up. Si is touched by the tender way he touches her. He climbs back into bed and pulls her to him so that her back is pressed against her hard chest. Wrapped in his strong arms, Si is spent and drifts into a peaceful slumber with a smile on her face.

The next morning Si wakes up with a smile on her face. She has never been so sore before, just pleasant reminders of the night she spent with him. Best Birthday Ever.  She turns to see Liam still asleep beside her. She loves how he looks sleeping, his golden waves are a mess compared to last night, he seems at peace.  She doesn’t want to wake him, so she turns back over to slip out of bed, but her body reminds her of what occurred between them last night.   She smiles as the relives last night in her mind.  She gets out of bed gingerly and takes tentative steps.  He was right, she almost couldn’t walk.  She grabs his shirt from the floor and makes her way down the hallway to the kitchen.  The smell of freshly brewed coffee hits her first, she is almost in a panic until a familiar voice calls out to her. “Well, I don’t have to ask how last night went.” Em teases, as Si walks into the kitchen and is greeting by the Cheshire Cat like grins of Em and Julie.

“Shut up Em.” Si lowers her voice, “he is still here.”  She quickly pours two cups of coffee, placing them on a tray with cream, sugar, and honey and heads back to her bedroom.

“ Good morning, Love.” she hears Liam say sleepily.

“Good morning, Li,” she kisses him. “I brought some coffee, I am not sure how you like it. Also, my friend Em and Julie are here; have cooked us breakfast.” Liam can see the blush rising in her face.

“I guess I should get up and put some clothes on, huh?” cocking his eyebrow, with a smirk gliding across his face. “And I take my coffee with honey and cream.”

“So, do I” Si smiles, as she fixes their coffee.

“Here you go,” she says handing him a cup. Si goes back to the other side of the bed and climbs back in, careful not to spill her coffee. She and Liam cuddle and drink their coffee.

“There is only one issue with getting dressed,” Liam states after a while.

“What would that be?”

“You are wearing my shirt.” he chuckles. “As, good as it looks on you, I like seeing you naked, spread out underneath me, better “he slowly kisses the spot just under her ear.  Electricity runs down her spine.

“As much as, I like where this is going, we need to shower and get dress. We have a lot to discuss.” taking another drink her coffee.  “And my friends are waiting for us.”

“All right you two, you better make it a quickie, your breakfast is getting cold.  And please shower first!” Em yells from the end of the hall.   Si is now bright red and dives under the covers. Liam is laughing. “Let’s make it a quick shower, I promise to behave, I do not wait to keep that one waiting any longer than we have to.”  They get up and shower quickly, dress and head for the kitchen.

“So, table 25, huh?” Julie says with a sheepish grin. “Em did not do him any justice. Hello, I’m Julie, Daniel’s sister.” she smiles, but her eyes flash a simple warning to Liam, which he answers with a nod.

“Table 25?” Liam questions Si, she answers with a full-face flush. Laughing he wraps her in his arms and kissing her temple. “25, is my favorite number. I love the meaning behind it.  Let’s eat, I am sure you are starving.”

Em and Julie smile as the watch Si sink slowly into her chair, Si can feel their eyes on her, she knows that if she looks up from her plate, that will still be giving her that all-knowing look.  She could just die from embarrassment.

“Si, I don’t think I have ever seen you blush this much since I have known you.” Em’s eyes are dancing with amusement.

“Stop teasing the poor girl,” Julie chides Em, but you still can hear her own amusement if the situation.  The buzzer sounds, jarring Si out of her thoughts of how much she hated her friends right now. “I’ll get,” says Em jumping up “wouldn’t want Si to strain herself walking to the door.”

Si buries her face in her hands. She feels Liam wrap his arm around her waist resting his hand on her hip. He whispers “Don’t worry, Love. She will stop, once she sees this is not a one-time thing. You know she loves you, right?” “Yeah, she loves me. I am going to die of embarrassment.  I have ever told you Em doesn’t do subtle.” she sighs. He is right, her friend is happy she got laid.  Now, she just has to tell them all that she has decided to go back with Liam.  She has never felt safer and loved with any of her previous boyfriends, and Em was very happy with Daniel, so why not take a chance on Liam.

Em hits the buzzer and unlocks the door to the apartment.  She informs a very nervous looking Si, that it is just Daniel and Liam’s friends.   She goes to the kitchen to take the rest of the food that she and Julie have left warming in the stove.  She moves the stake of letters Si had laying on the buffet, one of the letters fall by Liam’s foot.  He bends down to pick it up, that is when he sees it. His eyes widen.  Drake and Daniel notice Liam’s expression and look at each other.  He hands the letter to Si, “This looks important.” “Oh thanks,” she runs her finger over the writing. “It’s the last letter my parents wrote to me, their lawyer gave it to me yesterday.”  A stray tear rolls down her cheek, she wiped it away and looks at the group.

The group sits around the table enjoying the food and conversation, she catches Daniel sneaking kisses from Em when they think no one is watching. Si can see the love and devotion that Daniel and Em have for each other, and she decides that she wants that type of love too.  If that was what Liam was offering, she will take it.  Liam notices her studying the couple, he leans and whispers in her ear, “That is what I am offering you, total and complete devotion. You will be my queen, and help me rule, but your happiness and safety will always be my first priority.” Si can see the tenderness and sincerity in his eyes. She knows in her heart he is telling her the truth.  They are lost in each other’s eyes when they finally realized that everyone has stopped talking and are fixated on them.

“Um, Liam has asked me to go back to his country with him, and I am gonna go,” she states. “I was planning on taking a vacation to Europe anyway, so yeah, I’m gonna go.” She says with a very satisfied look on her face. Liam beams at her and kisses her.  She looks at Em and Julie, they are still in shock, Daniel’s and Drake’s faces are unreadable. Maxwell looks like he is about to cry, as he is smiling ear to ear.

“Well,” Drake and Daniel say in unison.  Drake continues, “I guess that means that we need to head back and make some arrangements, Liam.” Liam understands what Drake really wants to talk about. Daniel states that he will go with the guys and leave Em and Julie to help Si pack.  Drake says that they will pick her up in a couple of hours, and to take only the things that she needs, everything else could be bought in Cordonia.  Liam kisses Si again and he and the guys exit the apartment.

“Let’s get you packed.  You heard Drake, take only the things that cannot be replaced and some clothes, even though I am sure that Liam would rather have you naked all the time.” Em giggles, “OMG! Em, can you please stop.” Si tries to sound angry, but a small smile gives her away.  She and the girls go through her closet to choose the clothes Si should take with her. Julie packs all the legal paperwork about her inheritance, in the new tote that she bought Si for her birthday. She looks at the expensive gift, it was a Louis Vuitton tote that she always wanted but could never afford. “You’re now dating a King, an alpha, you need to look the part.” Julie reminded her. “You cannot be weak and timid.  He and his lion choose you. Be confident in that, or you could be challenged for you alpha spot.” Julie says, she is not trying to scare Si, she is just trying to teach her what she’ll need to do to be an alpha female, how to demand respect.

“First thing, we need to do is go shopping,” Em declares, “Jules is right you need to look the part. I love you, but your clothes scream, stylish, but broke waitress.  So, you will need to upgrade your wardrobe.  It is like my mom always says ‘You gotta dress for the job you want.’ Come on let’s go.”  Jules quickly texts Daniel to let him know that they were going shopping and she will have someone else watch her apartment.

Once the guys reached the suite, Drake started in with the questions, “So, I take it you mated her then?” Liam could feel Daniel’s eyes on him.

“No, not exactly, but she knows my intentions. I am more concerned with why her aunt is harassing her, Daniel, care to shed some light on this matter?”

“Before we get to that Liam,” Drake interrupted, “What was with that look on your face when you handed Si the letter?”

“I think Daniel has some input on that as well.  Drake, it had the old crest of Valtoria on it. Where would her mother get that?”

“What are you sure?” Maxwell asks.

Daniel finally speaks, “He is correct, her father was Duke Edmund Dainelis and her mother’s real name was Maya Nelson, they were …” but Liam cuts him off and finishes his explanation, “They were close to my parents.”

Drake’s eyes widen, “Then she is truly a duchess. How does she not know any of this?”

“Her parents fled Cordonia when she was only 25 weeks old, my father was hired by Edmund to help get him a new identity, this way he could work and support his family without suspicion. The Dainelis family was quite known to have children all over so the last name would not have raised anyone’s curiosity. Since Maya’s father and stepmother lived in the states, it was easy for them to settle here. No one really knew anything about her mother in Cordonia, they just thought the Duke was being kind to his bastard child, but no one knew that they were really married except your parents, Liam. They had suspicions that someone was trying to kill them; with the death of your mother, they had to leave. That is all I know. My father recently mentioned that this all had something to do with something called ‘Little Pearl’”.

“So, Daniel, what is your role in all of this?” Drake asks.

“I am to protect Si.  I have been watching over her since her aunt dumped her in New York.  Like I said, she is family.  Her aunt is a real danger to her, since Si’s mother was her grandfather’s only child, her aunt will only get any of his money if Maya or her children die.  The money that her aunt had inherited was from her mother, Maya’s dad’s second wife, she came as part of the package. She is greedy and wants all of the money and will stop at nothing to get it.”

“Even more reason that Si has to come back with me.” Liam can feel his lions anger, it’s pacing wanting Si with them now.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Maxwell goes to answer it, “It is about damn time you answer the door.” Olivia burst into the suite. “Sorry to interrupt the party, but I had to come.”

“Why Livy, what is so important that you couldn’t call?” Drake asks.

“Madeleine and Regina, they are up to something.”

“They are always up to something.” Maxwell points out.

“Beaumont, not now, Regina and Madeleine had a meeting. Regina is helping Madeleine win this social season.”

“Olivia, we know that Regina wants me to choose Madeleine, she has made no secret about it.” Liam states, “Anyway, I will not be having suitors this social season, as I have already found my true mate.”

“Really, please tell me she is not human,” Olivia says with concern in her voice.

“She is.” Liam nods.

“Liam, that is worse, you will need to keep her safe. Once they find out, I feel that they will harm her.”

Daniel’s jaguar growls. “Not while I am alive, but Olivia is it, she is right Liam, Si cannot know anything about the past just yet. All I know is that the letter will explain everything and has important documents that she will need to claim her birthright. Em says that she cannot bear to read it now, but for her safety, is there any place that you can lock it up so that no one else has access to it?”

“He’s right Liam, you need to get the letter, and we can lock up it somewhere safe. No one outside of this room can know who she is, and Daniel only has half the story, so I bet we will need to uncover the rest back home. Sorry, you cannot cancel the suitors, as long as she is not marked yet, she can pretend to be a suitor. I’ll put someone to guard her and we will keep a close eye on her.”

“I am coming with her, no one knows who I am, so they will not pay any attention to me. I have shadowed her for four years, before she came to work at the bar. Drake, everyone will know you are close to the King, so if you are around all the time, they may think something is up.” Daniel says, “Si, is supposed to stay under my protection, so I and my mate with be with her.”

“My house will sponsor her, “Maxwell chimes. “They would not think twice about it. I will not even tell Bertrand who she really is.”
