The devil you know 18, On her knees
Pressed up against the glass with her dress hiked up around her waist and her panties god knows where, Emma should have felt self-conscious. But all she could focus on was the kiss and Bane’s body that was pressed up against her. Her brain was still a little foggy from her orgasm. She had never felt anything close to the earth shattering orgasm that Bane had given her. A small part of her brain was telling her she needed to have a thing about why that was. But the rest of her brain was telling her to focus on the tall, dark and dangerous god that pressed up against her. She was more than happy to listen to that part.Bane ended the kiss and took half a step back from her. Emma felt the loss of his body heat like a physical pain. What was her body doing to her? “On your knees,” he told her in a dark and rough voice.Emma didn’t hesitate to bend her knees and fall on them in front of him, looking up to meet his eyes. Shouldn’t she be struggling against this? She briefly wondered. But
The devil you know 19, Lawyer needed
Bane sat behind his desk in his office at the mansion and tried to focus on the report he was reading. Try, being the operative word. His eyes kept drifting over to Emma, sitting in a chair to his left, reading something on her phone that had her frowning. He sighed and turned back toward the screen in front of him. His mind drifted to last night. The taste of her on his tongue, the feel of her mouth as she pleasured him. The way she had made him cum from a simple blowjob was new to him. He had craved more, to take things further with his angel. He wanted to make her his in every way. But he also feared the feeling. There was a part of him that told him she could end up being his ultimate addiction. If it was one thing Bane had learned from being around drugs most of his life, was how to spot an addiction a mile away. He also knew to avoid it at all costs. The only way to do that was to limit your intake. So he had spent the rest of the night trying to work. They had driven home an
The devil you know 20, The women of the house
It had almost been a week since Emma had accepted Bane’s offer. She was surprised at how quickly she had got accustomed to her new life. She had started to think of the room in the mansion as home, got to know other people of Banes organisation besides Bane, Jax, Tom and Luke. Everyone had treated her with respect and had been mindful of not invading her space. That was the one thing that Emma still had an issue with. She tensed up as soon as men got too close to her. Well, not Bane. For some reason, he was the exception to the rule. She even had a hard time if Luke or Tom got too close. But her body didn’t see Bane as a threat. Instead, it seemed to crave his touch. And boy, did he touch her. They had developed a routine that had them eating breakfast together, then they would go to Bane’s office where he would work and she read or texted with Simon or surfed around looking for a hobby she could occupy her mind and hands with. Anna brought them lunch and lunch always ended up with
The devil you know 21, Center of attention
Emma had chosen the teal blue dress for the evening. It clung to her body like a second skin and had a strap over one shoulder, leaving the other naked. But the thing that made the dress stand out were the decorative bands that had been sewn in a way that showed off her curves. They seemed to outline her breasts, ass, and hips. She had eaten dinner with Luke and Ben in the dining room. Bane and Jax were out on business that would keep them out longer than usual. When they got back, they all would go straight to the club. There was a soft knock on the door and when Emma opened it, Bane was standing outside. It looked like he was about to say something, but he just looked at her.“Hi. Is it time to head out?” Emma asked.“Yes,” he said.“Let me just grab my purse,” she told him. She left the door open as she walked over to the dresser to get her clutch. Emma could feel Bane’s eyes on her as she moved over to get her phone and put into the clutch. “Sorry to keep you. All done,” she sai
The devil you know 22, A repeat
“You have a secretary?” Emma asked as they were walking along the bar. She had never seen a secretary during the week she had been in his life. Bane made a gesture towards Veronica that she should meet them at the other end of the bar before answering Emma.“Of course I do. Luke is my secretary.”“Luke?” Emma turned around and looked at the man that were following them.“Yes,” Bane said with a smile. “You don’t think he can do it?”“No, it’s not that. I just thought he was your bodyguard,” Emma said.“He is. He is both.”“But you have made him follow me around. How can he help you if he is following me?”“He and Tom are my best and most trusted men. Of course I used them for your protection. His duties as my secretary aren’t that heavy,” Bane told her as they stopped by the end of the bar where Veronica joined them. “I tasted your drink. We liked it. I would like to put it on the drink list. Any objections?” Bane asked Veronica. Veronica looked at him in surprise and then at Emma. Em
The devil you know 23, Trashed
Bane was seething with anger. He wanted to kill someone. That someone preferably being that little shit squirming on the floor in the break room. He would have made Dave follow his friend as well, for good measure. But for once, he had controlled his bloodlust. The reason was trembling in his arms as he made his way to the back door of the club. He had to remind himself that she wasn’t used to the violence that was a natural part of his world. The sight of her trying to defend herself with a fucking fork while that vile creature put his hand on her, had pushed Bane close to losing his sanity. She was his, and no other man was to place his hands on her. “Bane, I think I can walk on my own,” Emma’s frail voice said. “You are precisely where you should be,” he told her as he forced himself to keep his voice soft. “I’m fine,” she insisted. “I know you are. I’m not,” he told her. “Okay,” she said, relaxing in his arms again. Bane wasn’t lying. Having her in his arms was the only thi
The devil you know 24, Safe place
“Angel.”The soft word rolled over Emma, and she looked up at Bane. He stood in the doorway of the room, looking at her. “Yes?” she asked.“Why haven’t you moved?” “Oh, I don’t really know. I need to start cleaning my room,” she said. Her mind was a little foggy. She hadn’t had the best of days, and her reserve energy was about to deplete. She needed to make sure she could sleep in her bed before she crashed. “Angel, you won’t have to clean that up. Anna will sort it out,” Bane told her as he took a step into the room and closed the door behind him. “I can’t let her do that. It’s late, and she has already been working the whole day,” Emma objected. A smile curved Bane’s lips. “She will do it tomorrow. I’m not a slave-driver.”“But where will I sleep?” she asked, confused. “You can stay right here with me tonight. Just sleeping.” She looked at him. She was confused. This was his private room, no one but him was allowed here. “Don’t look so surprised, angel. Go on and take a showe
The devil you know 25, Open book
Bane smiled down at her and kissed both her cheeks, the spot between her brows, both sides of her mouth and then gave her a gentle kiss on the mouth. “Your face tells me everything. You are an open book, never play poker,” he chuckled. Emma blushed. She had no idea that she was that easy to read. That could be a problem.To distract herself, she traced the outline of a rose on Bane’s shoulder. It was one of several that stretched over his shoulder, down to his arm. She could see a black snake entwined in the roses and a dagger.“Do they bother you?” he asked. Emma looked up in surprise. “No, I find them fascinating,” she told him. She saw his face changing into an amused smile.“You never stop surprising me, angel,” he told her and lifted a lock of her hair and played with it. “Do they have meaning?” Emma asked as she traced the dagger with her finger. “Most of them do. Some are just to fill space and bring it together,” he told her. She made a soft sound to let him know she under
