moment forward. If you need anything, anything at all, please contact me directly.”
    “You’re taking them over? I heard that Manning’s oldest daughter was marrying Morrison’s son and he was taking over their operations and holdings.”
    “Well, you need to check your sources. Lis and I are getting married and I am taking over as head of the family. If those are the same sources informing you about the Nadas’ then I know for a fact they are unreliable.”
    “Well, I will check into my sources, but you need to know that Morrison is telling all the families that he is stepping forward as head of the Manning family.”
    “I’ll be having a conversation with all the families, including the Morrisons, tomorrow. For now, though, my beautiful fiancée is waiting for me to come to bed. I will look forward to speaking to you again soon, Chakravarthy. Until then, keep your family close and keep your eyes open.”
    Dakota didn’t wait for a reply before he hung up the phone and headed upstairs to where Lis waited for him.
    When he opened the door to his bedroom he heard the shower running so he decided to join her. He quickly undressed and walked through the open doorway of the bathroom. He could see her through the glass shower door and he instantly grew hard at the sight of the water streaming down her luscious body.
    He licked his lips at the thought of tasting her as he opened the shower door and stepped inside. He was just about to slide his arms around her waist when she turned around and punched him in the stomach with enough force to knock him out of the shower. He landed on his ass on the cold tile and immediately regretted sneaking up on her.
    “Oh my God. Dakota, I am so sorry. Are you okay?” Lis asked while trying to contain her laughter.
    “I’m fine,” he answered quietly, not completely able to catch his breath. “You pack quite a punch for someone so small.”
    “I told you earlier about my training. Didn’t you believe me?”
    “Well, yeah, but I didn’t really expect you to have such quick reflexes. And I didn’t expect you to use it on me.”
    “You snuck up on me. What did you expect me to do?”
    “Not knock me on my ass, that’s for sure,” he mumbled as he heaved himself up from the floor. “I just wanted to take a shower with you.”
    “Then let’s take a shower and I’ll rub the soreness out of your ass.” Dakota grinned at the look on her face and let her take his hand and lead him into the shower.
    As they stepped under the hot spray, Lis grabbed Dakota’s body wash and squirted a small amount in her hand. She slowly rubbed her hands together before she motioned for him to turn around. When he did she started rubbing the musky scented soap into his shoulders and down his back. He braced his hands against the wall as her hands caressed down his back and over his butt, gently kneading the tightened muscles of his body.
    “Your hands are magic,” he told her softly as she continued to rub his sore ass.
    “Do you like me rubbing your ass, Dakota?” She asked and he glanced at her over his shoulder.
    “Very much so,” he answered, but turned around. “But I like rubbing yours more.”
    She backed away when he reached for her and dropped to her knees in front of him. “I bet I know something you’ll like even more,” she whispered just before she wrapped her mouth around his cock.
    “Oh. God. Lis,” Dakota managed to get out between clenched teeth.
    “Mmm.” she moaned around him and his hips jumped.
    He braced one hand against the wall as he tangled the other in her hair and started moving his hips with the motion of her mouth. Her teeth scraped gently across his shaft as his head hit the back of her throat. Her moans intensified, causing his hand to tighten in her hair and his hips to move a little faster.
    Wrapping her hand around the base of his shaft, Lis slowed the pace and started teasing him with her tongue. Swirling it around his head, she tasted him and
