Afterlife (Afterlife Saga) (86 page)

“You really were born for him Keira. And I'm glad to have you for a sister. Now let’s get on with making him weak at the sight of you!”

“Umm, Sophia can I just ask one more thing?” I asked being all shy again and she nodded

“What is that big room for back there?” I asked referring to the private club we had walked though.

“Oh that's my fun room but Dom is adamant that you won't be joining us.” And I
was soon to learn why not.

“He is very possessive over you, not wanting to share you with anyone....I guess we won't be seeing him there again.” And with this it suddenly dawned on me, making me let out a gasp in shock but Sophia just laughed at me and my innocence. The penny dropped and landed on a very dirty floor...

It was for orgies!

After what was most of the day, as it was now dark outside, I was ready. It felt as if I had spent the day at posh health spa, all the time being waited on hand and foot. Sophia and I had giggled with girl talk over champagne and Pizza, of all things! This was because she knew it was my favourite and there wasn't an anchovy
in sight. I had, had every part of my body worked on, until everything was smooth and smelt luscious.

I still hadn't seen the finished product and well, my heart was proving how nervous about this I was, as it was starting to sound like a pneumatic drill in my chest. Sophia was walking me through to the other room, the one with all the mirrors, as I hadn’t even been allowed to see anything she had done. She had thought of everything including very luxurious underwear that I was now wearing underneath my purple satin dress, of course this had been the only thing I had been allowed to choose. She held my gloved hand in hers and pulled me towards her full length mirror. She told me to close my eyes as she guided me left a bit then right again until she clapped her hands with satisfaction and said…

“There, now open your eyes you beauty!”

I stared into the mirror as if searching for myself in the reflection looking back. It was as if I was looking at an impostor who was trying to change me into something beautiful. I mean, when Libby had made me over I had been shocked but now well, I was stunned into silence. I looked amazing! Sophia had my hair half up in a mass of loose curls that came down like a golden waterfall. My
makeup
was minimal but as she had said it just enhanced what I already had. My lashes looked longer thanks to curling them up and they tickled the top of my lids which were now a soft purple with darker shadowing by the fold. This made them look more seductive, which I knew Draven would enjoy. My skin glowed, feeling softer than ever before and the colour of my dress emphasised it.

My dress was gorgeous, a deep purple with a satin corset top that tied at the back concealing the underwear beneath. It crossed over at the front with two thick straps that went over my shoulders and again crossed over round my back. These were a dark indigo colour that matched the underneath fabric part of the skirt. It came down to a short skirt that flowed around my legs showing one more than the other. It flared out longer at the back, spreading the colours as I moved and twirled round. My legs looked longer than they ever had before, probably down to the fact that this was the most of them I had shown. The shoes were made from the same two materials of the dress with ribbons that tied up and around my ankles making a pretty bow at the back that also matched the corset part of the dress. I looked like an exotic bird trying to attract a mate!

“I can't believe it...it's...” I stammered as Sophia stood back to admire her handy
work.

“You look beautiful Keira and it wasn't hard to accomplish that.” She said affectionately. I turned round to her and hugged her tightly.

“Thanks Sis!” I said making the biggest smile come to her face as she hugged me back.

“Well time to see what your dark Prince thinks...maybe he will buy me another car, I haven't got a yellow one!” She said making me laugh at her optimism.

“Umm, I think he has to like it first before you start thinking about paint jobs.” I reminded her as we walked back through the room that made me blush at the thought of what went on in there.

“I don't think we need to worry about that!” She laughed as Zagan's eyes saw me and looked again to check it was in fact me. At this my cheeks went from blush to full rouge, which got me thinking, what were they going to be like when Draven saw me? How was I ever going to do this?

It didn't take us long before I realised that we weren't going back to his bed chamber, we were going directly to the club and my heart rate flew through the roof.
So much so that I had to try very hard to control the urge to start hyperventilating into full panic mode.

“Why are we going here?”

“Because those were my rules, I knew that if he first saw you like this in private then the both of you would never make an appearance. Dom can be quite selfish and well, when it comes to you...he becomes obsessed.” That word took me back as it was exactly how I felt about him, but I wondered if she had added this last part for my benefit only.

We were soon at the double doors and I was just about to turn to Sophia and ask if she needed to get ready. I prayed she wasn't just walking me to here and then expecting me to go it alone, as I knew I would never have the balls to do that. But when I turned back round she was fully dressed in her own beautiful gown looking like a bird of paradise in midnight blue. It reminded me what a Roman goddess would look like as the dress flowed down to her feet moving gracefully with her body. Its halter neck plunged down showing her curves like mine did. It was only now that I noticed Zagan who wore his usual hood up over to his eyes, that burned with desire at the sight of Sophia.

“Why didn't you just do that with me?” I asked stunned at her ability.

“Because where would the fun have been in that...plus we had a good girlie bonding session.”
I couldn't help the huge grin that was plastered across my face at her response.

The doors opened as we approached and Sophia's curls bounced excitedly as she walked with her arm through mine. As soon as we were in sight every eye followed us as if there was an unseen connection they were trying to keep hold of. I hoped this was more at the sight of Sophia than me. 

We strolled over to the table where I could see the back of Draven's dark suit and I hoped he wouldn't turn my way as I couldn't remove the heat from my skin. Vincent however was going to give me away as he hit his brother with the back of his hand on his arm. Vincent looked as shocked as Zagan had, but this was nothing
compared to the shock I saw in Draven's dark eyes. I looked up at them staring and Sophia giggled noticing it too.

I could taste the gloss on my lips as I bit down on them, full of nerves. I walked up the steps and Draven's eyes followed every move I made, from the bottom starting with my legs moving upwards to the bit of my exposed thigh,
and then
continuing up to my boned corset tightly clinging to my skin making my curves more developed as I moved. Until finally he got to my face and I swallowed hard at the desperate want in his eyes. The Demon in him looked as if it wanted to devour me there and then, not caring if we were in a room full of intrigued eyes. I looked away like a frightened servant girl in the eyes of her Masterful Lord. 

Draven was the first one to stand, with the rest following his lead. Aurora was already there looking
breath-taking
as usual and her eyes couldn't tear away from Draven, but it didn't bother me as much as it should. This of course was down to the look he was giving me and I wanted to kiss Sophia for making this happen. We were about to take our seats but Draven had other ideas. He took my satin covered arm in his strong hand and walked past the table pulling me behind. I could just catch Sophia giggling at this, while Aurora looked away with eyes full of disgust. Draven was breathing heavy and he wasn't the only one by the time we got to the balcony. As soon as we were out of sight he whipped me around and pushed me to the wall making sure to be careful with my breakable body. His hands slid up my sides making me quiver under his hands.

“I take it you're pleased?” I said but it came out as more of a nervous whisper, through a mix of fear and the overwhelming bliss that affected me down below.

“You put the stars to shame and make every Goddess shy away at the sight of your beauty!” He said in a deep voice as his body closed the space between us letting me feel for myself just how pleased he was. His lips were at my neck and I felt his teeth hold my skin as though he was trying not to bite me. I arched my neck more, wanting him too, waiting for the rush of pain to mix with the pleasure that I felt last time. But his teeth released their hold and his lips took over, which I could feel smiling at my neck.

“You really are a temptress and the Gods will envy me tonight as you are mine and....mine alone!” He said smiling at the thought. His lips moved over to mine to envelope me in a deep controlling kiss. I could feel him tasting me and his hand went to the inside of my thigh, moving upwards, causing me to let out a moan, making my want for him as clear as where his hands wanted to be...

Everywhere.

Chapter 46 - Under a Spell

Finally I came back down to the balcony below where I stood just in time to stop him from going any further.

“We can't do this ….not now,” I said trying to control my breathing to a slow pant.
He,
however let out a low growl which startled me.

“And why not?”
He said as he looked desperately as if he was trying to control something else, other than his breathing.

“Because I told Sophia that we wouldn't disappear and we would stay for her birthday, remember you also promised?” I said trying to get through to the Angel inside. His hands that he held on my shoulders went up to my neck and lingered there feeling every breath I took.

“She will understand Keira.” He said, trying one last time as his hands now found their way down to my top, touching my cleavage and for a moment I thought he was going to tear my dress in two when he then started to grip the material.

“Draven!”
Was all I needed to say to get him to come back to
reason.
His hands then went to my face and pulled me closer for another sweeter kiss. He was starting to sway from his desires and listen to my words.

“We will have all night!” I said feeling the flutter of tingles at the thought. It made me very nearly give in but then Sophia popped into my head and the day we had spent together...at that, I didn't want to disappoint her.

“I will obey but after our time is done, I will bring you back out here and have my way with you...understood?” He said showing me his full meaning as he once again kissed me making my legs turn to jelly.

Once we were back inside he didn't even flinch at the stares we both got, instead he held me by his side proudly guiding me up to his table. Once again they all stood out of respect and Sophia shot me a look and mouthed a 'thank you' at me. Draven waited until I sat, before sitting himself and again I couldn't help but notice the look Aurora gave him.

“So you approve brother?” Sophia asked looking past me at Draven, I however looked at Sophia as if to say ‘
Please not now’,
but she took no notice of my silent plea.

“She is perfection as she always was but you have added the frame to the
masterpiece...well done Sophia.” He said as he held his hand to the back of my neck. I on the other hand must have turned a
very
undignified colour as my face felt like it was running off somewhere. Sophia coughed as if he was missing something out.

“Very well, you can pick your new car tomorrow,” he said and he and his brother both rolled their eyes at their spoilt sister.

“Yes...well with that out of the way let’s get the champagne here and start the party,” she said nudging me. Almost immediately the champagne appeared being pink for the girls and black for the men.
