42. Reunion

Shirleen stared out of the private jet's window at the clouds that surrounded the jet in a shroud. One of the perks of being queen was the fact she had access to her own luxury private jet to travel around the world in. She also always had to travel with at least ten trained assassins as a protection detail. When she had found out about that rule, she had to select her assassins carefully avoiding those he was not sure of their loyalties and taking on those whose loyalties to the name queen was absolute. It was easy to seek that out considering she had access to files of information on all of the assassins under her command. She put on a brave front because that was what was expected of her but deep inside, she was nervous and second guessing her decision to be queen. She was afraid she will fail at her choice considering she was now responsible of the most violent, most immoral and illegal part of the earth's population. Just one year ago she had been a frightened little girl who prayed day in day out the death of her archenemy and praying for a chance to avenge her mother. Her courage has grown since then and now her emotions were slowly being tempered and she was able to control them better. She was slowly changing into someone she really liked to be. Eva moved to the seat she sat and snuggled close to her. Eva rarely spoke and when she did, she only spoke to Shirleen. With her snuggled against Shirleen, Shirleen was softly stroking her hair. Eva never left Shirleen's side for long, she would rather sit next to Shirleen silently for hours than leave her side at all. Shirleen had watched Stacey watch them throughout their time together speculatively wondering at the attachment the young girl has formed to Shirleen. It was clear that Eva would protect Shirleen at the cost of her own life. Shirleen by saving Eva had gained the girl's undying loyalty. Shirleen was shaken awake hours later by Stacey, "We are an hour away from landing. You need to shower and change into the evening gown. Angela has informed me the party has already started and cars will be waiting at the airport." Shirleen nodded and made her way into the bedroom.

The lounge Shirleen was showed into at the Ole Sereni hotel was private and her assassins stood outside lining the hall. Stacey had informed her after their arrival that she should stay put as Angela prepared her entry. Adrian will be arriving soon to escort her into the ballroom where the guests were waiting. The blood red dress she wore had a low back exposing her back and an extremely deep V-neck. It moulded to her body showing every curve and flowed to the ground. The was a side front slit that ran from mid-thigh to bottom and with every step she made her right leg was exposed. The red designer high heels she wore made her feel tall and sexy as hell but did not help with her nerves. Her goddess locs were piled high on her head with some of the unruly ones falling down her shoulders. Eva sat on the sofa in the room watching Shirleen nervously walk from one end of the room to the other. Eva had agreed to wear a more modest black evening gown compared to what Shirleen wore. The door opened and in stepped Adrian looking extremely handsome in a fitting black suit, white shirt and bow tie. Shirleen stopped and slowly took him in from his shoes to the tattoo appearing on his neck and finally into his black eyes while he did the same for her. "You are trying to kill me in that dress, aren't you?" Adrian said hoarsely, "You look so fucking beautiful and I will kill any man in that room who looks at you more than he should."

"Eva please leave the room and make sure no one gets in," Shirleen said breathlessly. Eva stood without another word and left the room locking it behind her. Immediately the lock sounded they made their way towards each other quickly and fiercely wrapped their arms around each other. The kiss was passionate almost violent with their feelings reduced to yearning. Adrian flicked away the dress the slit making it easy and his hands went to her ass raising her higher against him. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her hands around his neck tightened. He walked towards the wall and leaned her against it and with his free hand tried to unbuckle his belt and undo his pants. With desperation he pushed away the thong she was wearing underneath her dress and entered her swiftly with no preamble. She screamed in pleasure and he groaned loudly losing himself in pleasure considering since he met her he had lost any attraction to any other woman. All he had wanted since then was the woman in his arms. She was his world. "I have missed you darlin'," he whispered desperately against her neck. She opened her eyes and pulled his head back to look into his eyes, "And I have missed you my love," she whispered back pulling him for a kiss. The pleasure swept them to an orgasmic end and she screamed against his lips unable to stop it and he groaned loudly following her into that orgasm induced state.
