No, mother. I opened the stores hoping to lose money. – Shiloh Shiloh had lunch with her family on Sunday and was still recovering on Thursday. Her grandfather and cousin were supportive of her decision. The family business was a hard one, and not everyone was cut out for it. Shiloh was not. Despite her mother and current stepfather’s wishes and plans.“Shy?” Gertie called out as she entered Dark Moon carrying the day’s mail. “There’s a letter here from Elizabeth Giordano.”“She’s my … mother. Unfortunately, we don’t get to choose our parents.” Shiloh replied as she finished stocking the baby section. Several of her friends had babies and complained about the pastel baby crap, their words, not hers. When she came across a small business that specialized in goth baby items she reached out. Along with black onesies that declared “Not smiling, it’s just gas.” there were also bottles with the poison label and Deadly Nightshade. Spider and skull rattles and teethers.
Cookie, I want to go. Please. With whipped cream and a blow job on top. – Karan The girls were at Molly’s house for a sleepover for one of his daughters. Pagan wasn’t even sure which daughter it was. Molly had five wives, he called them his pretties, and probably a dozen daughters, his little pretties, and a son. And the man adored every one of them.Since his girls were out of the house, Cookie and Karan had talked him into going to a club with them. He did not even know that this place existed. Nor was it any place he would have normally gone by himself. Nightingale was in the warehouse district of Ridgeview, backed up to the river. A little less than a mile down the road was Sticks’ custom furniture store across the river in Monroe. Shaking his head, Pagan decided that he was too old to be hanging out at a bar. Instead of checking out the scantily clad women, like Cookie and Karan were, he was thinking about how far he was from the shop.Turning from the metal r
Wrong movie, but do you feel lucky? – ShilohPagan stood on the porch waiting for Shiloh to park and walk across the street. He was as nervous as a high school kid on a first date. Yeah, sure, she was coming over just to watch a movie. Uh-huh. Yeah, right. They both knew what was going on. As confirmation of this, they were kissing as soon as Shiloh stepped up on the porch. Going through the door, Pagan closed it and pushed her up against it. She was shoving his cut off as he cupped her tits through the dress.“Are your nipples pierced?” He asked rubbing his thumbs over the hard ridges he could feel. “Yes.” She breathed out pulling his shirt out of his jeans. Grabbing the material between his shoulders, he yanked it off and dropped it on the floor. “Fuck. Anything else pierced?”“Yes.” She whispered gently tugging on the silver barbell in his nipples. “You?”“Hell yeah.” He grinned at her. “Too many damned clothes.”Reaching behind her, s
Pagan, Ashlyn isn’t feeling good. We’re bringing the girls home early. – text from BecksThe girls that had come over for Fatima’s birthday had stayed up late watching movies. Becks and the other pretties took shifts staying up with the girls and making sure that they weren’t in too much trouble. Priscilla hung out in her room with Camille until the younger girls had convinced them to come down for a few rounds of pool.Throughout the night there had been plenty to eat. Probably too much for them to eat. Especially for little girls whose dad does not keep many sweets or junk food in the house. People always assumed that with a single dad, the kids ate pizza, corn dogs and macaroni. But Becks new that Pagan insisted on full meals at the dining table complete with formal settings.Becks was not surprised that she had woken up and found one of the girls with an upset stomach. She had expected it to be her niece, Morgan, but she was still asleep on the floor of the media ro
At the end of today, I’m having a big glass of wine. You go have a big glass of single dad. – GertieAs everyone set up their displays and wares, Shiloh worried that everything would go wrong. She already knew of at least one church that would be protesting. Ciara, the proprietor of the Wiccan bookstore, had assured her that they protested everything. “If they protest your store, you’re doing it right.” Ciara grinned. “You should come see my Banned Book section.”With that encouragement, Shiloh decided that she had made the right decision. The idea of the Saturday market was to give a place for those in the alternative world a place to gather. Shiloh knew for a fact that they were out there.There were the Billie’s, such as herself. Rockabilly. Psychobilly. Gothabilly. Depending on her mood depended on which one she identified herself as. Gertie was more of a vintage goth girl. She liked the Victorian style. However, since her hair cut, she had taken to the fla
Miss Shiloh is so cool. Can she be our new mom? – AlyssaBeing a single dad for eight years made Pagan very good at domestic chores. Granted, he loved cooking. His mother bought him cookbooks and cleaning manuals for Christmas and birthdays. If there was a meal or a mess, he could take care of it.Except for his ex.That was a mess that no amount of bleach could make go away. And the fact that his seven-year-old would rather have a stranger over her own mom, said a lot.Their divorce had to be postponed until Amber had the baby. Then there was the DNA test to determine paternity. Even if Alyssa had not been his, he would have fought for her. The moment the nurse placed the tiny newborn in his arms, he was in love. That precious, precocious little girl was helping her older sister to set the table. Watching them as he finished the broccoli and rice, he could only smile. He never would have imagined that he would be a single dad living in a large Victorian house p
Love won’t hurt. And it will never ask you to lie to your dad. – Nessie“Daddy says that you like the spaghetti westerns.” Ashlyn said as she took her plate to the kitchen sink.“I do.” Shiloh smiled at the girls. “My grandfather’s family comes from Italy, and he got me into them.”“Is that why they’re called spaghetti westerns?” Alyssa asked. “Because they were made in Italy.”“Not exactly.” Shiloh laughed. “The directors and production company were Italian, but they were mainly filmed in Spain.”“That’s confusing.” Ashlyn complained.“It is.” The woman agreed with a smile.Pagan loved the way that she talked to them. She was not talking to them like they were babies or stupid. But like they were people. With thoughts and feelings and opinions all their own.“Why don’t you girls go find a movie to watch with Miss Shiloh and I’ll clean the kitchen tonight.” They each grabbed a hand and guided her into the living room.“Which one is your favor
She’s my social anxiety spider. She gives anxiety to most of society. – ShilohIt was the Sunday before school started and both stores had been slammed for the last three days. For the last several weeks, Shiloh had been having Saturday night dinner with Pagan and his girls. She was exhausted last night and asked if they could postpone. As an extra incentive and forcing both her and Gertie to get out of bed, Shiloh offered to make lunch. With the girls helping, it did not take long for the chicken piccata and sides to be finished. Then they helped Gertie set the table and she showed them how to fold the cloth napkins into bats.“That is so cool!” Alyssa squealed. “You should teach them the flying crane.” Shiloh suggested as she sat the last dish on the table. The second floor was a large open space with occasional support columns. The columns were a black marble look with dark purple trim that matched the other trim on the walls. Large black marble tiles
