I don’t mind being alone, I just don’t want to be lonely. – Shiloh
The Saturday before Halloween, the Saints hosted a carnival across the street from their largest clubhouse, Sinner’s Shack. The unfinished hotel was bought cheap once the company lost its backing. The highway that was supposed to go through was canceled, and the development of the area stopped.The pasture across the street had been cut down and baled. A traveling carnival set up at one end. Stalls were set up on the other end for merchants and food vendors. In the middle was a pumpkin patch and maze created by the bales of hay. When they had found the booth for Dark Moon, the girls had been disappointed to find that Shiloh was not there. Her employees had a booth set up selling some of her more popular t-shirts, jewelry and trinkets. Her employees worked in flexible two-hour shifts. By the end of the day, they were taking orders since they had sold out. Gertie knelt before the girls and gaveI’ll agree to anything you want, if you wake me up like that. – PaganPagan was vaguely aware of the warm body next to him moving in the big bed. He was drifting back to sleep when he felt Shiloh’s hands on his cock and his balls. The odd vibrations behind his balls had him groaning. She pinched his inner thigh lightly and he moved his leg. The vibrations hit his taint and he was wide awake when her tongue touched the tip of his hardening cock.“Oh, shit.”She chuckled at his soft exclamation as she used her hand to guide him into her mouth. Her tongue ring was doing amazing things to his head and his own piercings. The vibrations at his balls and taint were making his eyes cross.The room was still dark. Or maybe it was just dark in the bed with the dark curtains closed around them. Glancing around to find a window, he gave up the thought as Shiloh lightly dragged her teeth over his ladder. Groaning, he looked down at the vision before him.“What if I’m hun
I think we should talk. – text from Pagan to ShilohThe sentence murmured as Shiloh drifted off to sleep haunted Pagan. Four days later, it was still rattling around in his head. So was the mind-blowing sex.As the girls got dressed for trick or treating, he sent her a message. He had typed it and deleted it several times. Sometimes it was short. Other times it was so long, it should have chapter and verse.He finally settled on five simple words. Then after he sent it, he realized how ominous it sounded. There was no way to get it back. The message he received back invited him and the girls over after trick and treating. With bags full of candy and treats, they parked in the driveway to their house and walked across the street. Pumpkins and decorations lined the street. Even their own house had seven jack-o-lanterns on the porch. Cookie had brought them home with Gertie and told Pagan that he needed to call Shiloh. When Karan got home with the girls, they
The Aranya are the only spiders that do not serve a purpose in this world. – ShilohPagan and his girls moved in with Shiloh in November. The Saturday after Halloween, Cookie and some of his crew painted the rooms just as the girls wanted. The following weekend, they moved in.For Thanksgiving, he took the girls to the Shack. Shiloh apologized for not going, but this was one of her obligations. As much as she wanted to spend the holiday with them, she was not ready to take them to meet her family. “Believe me, it has nothing to do with you.” Shiloh assured him as they kissed goodbye that morning. “They are horrible people, with a few exceptions. And I certainly don’t want them being cruel to the girls. And trust me, they would be.”“But we’ll have Christmas together?” He asked as the girls buckled themselves into his SUV. “Absolutely.”It had been late when she finally got home. She sat on the couch with a girl snuggled into her sides and watched Disney mov
Some creep bought me out. Just wanted the spiders, nothing else. – KellyIt was not what any of the Saint’s wanted to see.The pictures that Kelly sent Shiloh clearly showed an Aranya member. “Thanks for your help, miss….?”“Shiloh.” She smiled at him as she scooped up the tarantula and placed him back in the box. “I’m guessing that you don’t want him?”“No!” Spider loudly declared and his brothers chuckled. “You can keep him.” Toad chuckled. She secured the lid on the box before going to get Christina. “Why are you keeping them separate?” one of the men asked.“Because he’s younger, smaller and weak. And she may try to kill him.” Shiloh said placing Christina on her shoulder. “She’s my most aggressive spider.”“Aggressive?” Spider squeaked. “Territorial. She won’t hurt you. Besides, Alyssa likes feeding them. They’re all getting a little plump.”“Do you have a place for him?” Pagan asked. “Yes. Alyssa asked for one and I hav
The biggest problem that I’m going to have is not getting lost in the books. – GertieShiloh was proud of her friend. She liked a good book from time to time. Rainy afternoons were a great time to curl up with a good cozy book. But Gertie did not need a reason to read. Or even a specific type of book.Walking into the new bookstore, Shiloh looked around and was thrilled with what Cookie and his crew had done with the old movie theater and the stores on either side. The walls were covered in floor to ceiling bookshelves. The old balcony had been extended to create a walkway that encircled the upper part of the store. The gradual slope of the theater had been changed into wide terraces with shelves five feet high.The old concession area was now the check out area. While the small stage and screen had been was now a small coffee bar. Cookies and other baked goods from The Cookie Jar were available along with hot and cold coffees. The children’s area was situated in th
Christmas is one day. Yule is nearly two weeks. – NessieNeither of the girls liked going into the basement of the funeral home. It had become the best place to hide their Christmas gifts. After the girls went to bed Christmas Eve, Pagan and Shiloh began bringing the gifts up.“You didn’t get them too much, did you?” Pagan teased. They were still carrying his presents up on the third trip.“Nothing compared to you.” She laughed as they placed the latest load around the tree.“Not all of it’s from me. Quite a bit is from my parents and Santa.” He countered. “We usually go to the Shack for Christmas dinner.”“That sounds awesome. Do I need to cook anything?”Pagan laughed as she arranged a few boxes. “No, Nessie would be insulted.”“The carnival and stuff is gone, right?” she asked quietly and he heard the fear in her voice.“Yes, Santa’s Wonderland is officially shut down. Some of the booths and tents are still up, but we won’t be going over there.” He
Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Santa found us! Just like you said he would! – AlyssaAshlyn and Alyssa rushed into the master bedroom long before the sun came up on Christmas morning. Pagan groaned as he realized that he had never talked to Shiloh about the girls getting up so early. It had been like this for as long as he could remember. They bounded up onto the black and purple bed. Pagan scooted over and his girls squeezed in between him and Shiloh. “Buon Natale.” Shiloh told the girls with a great big smile. “You said that Santa has been here?”“Yes!” both girls exclaimed excitedly. “Then let’s go see what he brought.” Shiloh told them and they both jumped out of bed and ran downstairs.“Merry Christmas.” Pagan murmured as he rolled over and settled above Shiloh.“Buon Natale.” She smiled as she pressed her lips to his.“I would love to stay here.” Pagan kissed her. “But my girls are as good as they can be all year for one day.”Shiloh laughed as she
He is the saint of the bricklayers and masons. He cared for the poor and the needy. It is our duty to continue his ministry. – NonnaThe traditions that Nonna had started lived on through Shiloh and Nonno. Nico knew her for only a few years before her death but was honored to be included in the traditions.Shiloh had told Pagan that she would be gone just about all day. She was surprised when she got up the day after Christmas and he also got up. She was even more surprised when the girls were also up and ready by the time she walked down to the kitchen.“What are you girls doing up so early?” Shiloh asked as she kissed each of them on their heads.“Daddy said that today is the day that you celebrate Nonna.” Ashlyn said. “We want to help.”“That’s really sweet girls.” She smiled at them. ‘It’s a lot of work, but I promise that you’ll feel really great as you crawl into bed tonight.”“What all are we going to do today?” Pagan asked as he handed her a large cup
