"Once you take that step, I'll use everything I have now to support and protect you. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Mason Nightshade spoke in a voice so low only they could hear.
Aurelia Shaw was momentarily stunned.
She... understood. He was saying that when the day came for her to fall, he would be there falling with her. The future of Mason Nightshade was now firmly in her grasp.
Aurelia Shaw felt a stir in her heart, a smile tugged at her lips, and she leaned down, in front of everyone, captured Mason Nightshade's lips and bit down hard twice.
She stepped back, her smile radiant and seductive, "Who did you learn those sweet words for?"
"Only for you," Mason Nightshade replied.
Aurelia Shaw laughed.
Mason Nightshade raised his eyes slightly, casting a quick glance at Nancy Carter, "Do you want me to help you? If I take action, it wouldn't be as simple as this."
