Shadow Heiress Chapter 39 - Pandora
"Aah c’mon…, you guys make out or something? What took you so long?" Laurene asked and a shocked look crept up on my face."What? Why would we do that?" I asked and Laurene sighed."Oh, it seems like I guessed wrong..." she muttered. What the hell, what did she have in mind about Vito and me? Were we that obvious?"C’mon, don't make that face, I see the way he looks at you and acts all mushy around you. I hardly ever see him that way, you know, but sincerely speaking now, Vito isn't the type to hold back on his feelings so I assumed he might have said something to you already" Laurene explained. Listening to her explain, I didn't know how to react other than being a little bit embarrassed and a blushing mess. Why did she have to make me remember Vito’s confession? it played repeatedly in my head far too much and it happened when I least expected it to.And at that moment that was all I could think of, I still remember his subtle looks and how careful he seemed while picking his words

"Dumb asses, I bet they didn't know this was here” She grinned as we both walked in and all I could do was feed my eyes because this was new to me. I could also bet my room back at my father’s house could fit in here. I saw her open one of the wider drawers and pull out a big bag with a silver combo lock hanging off of it.“Just where I expected it to be.” She stated "Yeah…that’s it, let's…" She started but froze and put a finger to her lips, pointing her other finger to her ear, signaling if I had heard anything. Listening closely, the sound of a car door being shut filled my ears and I slowly nodded."C'mon, we can go up to the attic" She whispered before guiding me to the hall. Quickly pulling it down, she ushered me up the steps before going up herself and pulling the stairs back up.Though faintly, we could now hear the men's voices as they entered the house, talking loudly. "...they have to be somewhere around," One of them said, his voice scratchy and annoying. He most likel

‘How to know if you like someone'I stared down at the search results of the article on my phone with weariness, there was no way I was this down-bad, and besides I knew it wasn't always good to believe what you read on the Internet but right now it was my only source of confirmation. It would be so awkward to ask someone although I considered asking Laurene but nah…'Your heart rate may increase when you are around them’‘You might feel butterflies in your stomach or nervousness’‘Your body language may change such as fidgeting or blushing’So that's what those feelings were? I placed my hands on my cheeks remembering all the times it felt whenever Vito was around me. He did make me feel nervous at times and I did blush a lot.‘You find yourself thinking about them frequently, even when you are busy’'You also may start to notice the little things they do and you can't help but think it's endearing’Well, I don't know if his whining while struggling to jump rope was something I found

Still seated on his bed, I scooted a lot closer to Vito and since he was way taller, this man was a giant, I was barely over 5 '5 and I was pretty certain he was way over 6' 0 ft. Leaning in, I could feel his breath on my face and even if they were only touching, my lips were all tingly and hot and I was so sure Vito could also hear my heartbeat because it felt like it was going to pop out anytime soon. This was supposed to happen right?Letting my lips linger on Vitos’ for a few more seconds, I finally pulled away and I could feel how hot my cheeks were. Vito eventually opened his eyes and I looked away almost immediately because I couldn't meet his eyes and still wasn't sure how he would react just yet.Feeling his eyes on me waiting for an explanation, I felt myself redden more.“I…since that day, I keep thinking about what you told me…it never fails to keep me up at night and most times the first thing that pops up in my head when I wake…” I trailed offThis has to mean I like h

Arriving at my new job in the hospital, well temporarily, I was all dressed up in my uniform that I didn't know how Laurene got. Sitting in the tiny room I let out a sigh, It was hot here even with all the hospital's air conditioning, and my nose burned from all the chemicals I had inhaled. Vegas’s appointment was later on in the day but I had to resume so early.Getting out of the house was a struggle this morning because of Vito, It's been three days only but I feel he's been trying to hold back on being too clingy but this morning was an absolute failure.^^Flashback^^"Vito, you have to wake up…the guys can't see you coming out of my room this early,” I said as I tried to shake him awake but he didn't seem to budge as he snored gently.Sighing, I turned to walk away and continued"You can't keep coming to sleep in here, how would the guys react to this besides I have to go to work now," I whined awayBut was caught off guard as he grabbed me by the hand and pulled me down onto the

Still out with nothing much to do, I picked up my phone and placed a call to Vito. The phone rang for a while but he didn't pick up so I just concluded he was busy but as I was about to put the phone down, the phone began ringing and checking the caller ID it was Vito so I quickly picked it up but was greeted with shouting in the background.“...can't do this anymore… I don’t want to go anymore! y'all know I’m scared of needles, what if they stick one up my ass?!" My eyes widened at the question, the voice sounding very much like Vegas."Oh please…what are you? Nine? Why would you think that…like why would a needle be put in your ass you idiot?" another voice, Pete asked"It's very possible!" Vegas cried. "Ermm…Hello...Is he Okay…?" I trailed and Vito sighed"Bab…Junie…sorry just ignore him, he's been throwing tantrums about the whole thing. Have you been able to find anything?" Vito asked and I shook my head like he was seeing me and smiled because he almost slipped in front of the

“Hey miss…What are you doing here” the voice asked but I stood still because the voice seemed so familiar.Turning to face the person who spoke, I already knew it was him.That weird doctor.I glared at him as he walked towards me and stopped right in front of me, eyeing me from head to toe before backing away."I knew you looked new and different. Who are you?" He asked. There was no way I could put my mission at risk by talking to this guy so I concluded on ignoring him.Keeping my phone back in my pocket, I stepped to the side so I could walk away but Antoine didn't seem like he was going to let me leave"C’mon, don’t do that…'' he started and grabbed my hand. On instinct, I used my other hand to elbow his stomach before pushing him away from me.“If you touch me again, I’ll kill you” I stated angrily, glaring at him so he got the message clear and direct. I wasn't sure what his purpose was or what he was getting at but I had to be on my guard right now."Chill, I’m not going to hu

^^VITO’S POV^^Waking up with a start, I had expected to be alone by this time because Juno might have woken up but to my surprise, she was still cuddled up in my arms, sleeping soundly. I didn't plan to sleep here, I remember sitting in the living room, waiting for her to get home from work but instead received a message from her saying she wanted to stay back for a while, so I felt it would be better if I stayed in her room and waited. But instead, I slept off. Taking a glance at the clock on the stand, although the moon was still evident illuminating the room, it was almost time for Juno to wake up. Taking in her features, I admired her long lashes, and her gentle face as she snoozed away. Despite all the changes made to her for this new mission, I could still see her old self right there, like back when we first met, I remembered finding her too graceful for a boy. Thinking back now, seeing Juno and Dion, the differences were glaring. For starters, the face, the eyes, Juno alw

Waiting anxiously, I watched as he walked towards me leaning down slowly and giving me a soft kiss on the lips."Babe, don't say things like that while naked. You're a temptation in disguise and I'm easily provoked" he said and I found myself deadpanning at him"You're just silly," I said relieved as Vito stood up straight, stripping off his clothes. I quickly averted my eyes and kept them trained on my hands as he did so because I didn't want to seem like I was prying too much and soon enough, Vito got in behind me, which made my cheeks flush with color.We settled in, it felt good relaxing on his brick of a chest with just a comfortable silence, the two of us in our little world until I broke it."I…I saw Dion earlier today" I said and I could feel Vito stiffen up behind me."What?" He asked, surprise in his tone and I took a moment to find my words before continuing."He was...in some kind of weird situation and for whatever reason, I don't know why but I helped him out," I said."
Shadow Heiress Chapter 50 - Warmth
“Stop…giving me that look,” I asked Vito who didn’t stop staring“What look? I promised I was going to get you warm” he said smiling and went back down for some more kisses.After a while, my body suddenly hinted that it needed oxygen and it needed it soon so I broke from the kiss to catch some. Vito however didn't seem to need any as his lips met my neck, kissing and sucking the skin as he pleased. He would suck on a particular spot before licking it and doing the same to different areasI felt his warm palm rub against my stomach and rub his way over my breast, he slipped his hand under me to unclasp my brassiere, and using his other hand he took my nipple in between his fingers rubbing away“Aah…Vi..Vito'' I moaned unashamedly. Why did that feel so good? He continued rubbing the bud between his fingers and a feeling that I wasn't accustomed to surged within me.I knew what it was from how my lower region began to itch and as if on cue, he brought his mouth down on my other nipple s
Shadow Heiress Chapter 49 - Tease
Navigating through my day at work was tiring, of course, I got there late which I hated and I couldn’t focus much because of how my day started. The one time I decided to walk to work, well that's the last time I'm ever doing that. Seeing Dion, really just ruined my whole day.It was still so unbelievable because what are the chances that that had happened just as I was passing by? I did contemplate helping him though but seeing how pathetic Dion looked made me feel some type of way and ruled out any negative thoughts I had about him in that moment.He was still my blood regardless.Letting out a sigh, I knew I didn't want to think about it all anymore but our argument kept bothering me. The way Dion seemed ignorant about how our lives had turned out, or was he just pretending? Or was he playing some type of card game trying to convince himself that he didn’t have a hand in all this? One way or the other he had a large role to play and although I didn’t blame him entirely, maybe I jus
Shadow Heiress Chapter 48 - Realizations
^^DION’S POV continued^^“Shut up, we need to get out of here before the cops show up” Juno yelled back at me as she almost nearly crashed into another parked car as we made our way out of the narrow route.“Focus on driving then” I screamed out at her again“I can’t drive and neither can you” she gritted out after finding a safe place for us to get off. And besides, if there was anything else we had in common aside from our looks we could not drive.We weren’t just cut out for it.“Can you at least untie me?” I asked and Juno sighed before grabbing her knife from her boots and cutting me loose. I looked around in the vehicle for any piece of clothing to wipe my face clean from the stains of blood from earlier, and then we both stepped out with me walking behind her.“Aren’t you supposed to be with security? How did you manage to get in their hands?” she asked suddenly breaking the silence“Was just in the area, strolling, or am I not old enough to do so” I lashed out and Juno sighed
Shadow Heiress Chapter 47 - Chance Meeting
^^DION’S POV^^In the situation I was currently in, never have I ever wished for my sister to be here more than I do right now.I know I treated her terribly at some point and said some mean stuff but c’mon, siblings tend to fight all the time and they settle. It’s not like I’ve ever wished her bad, things were just the way they were because of the household we found ourselves in.“You sickos…let go of me!" I yelled as I struggled against the men carrying me away.I was taking a stroll when suddenly I was cornered into some lonely street by a black van and some guys rushed out surrounding me. I was about to be taken captive again.This was the second time this had happened to me since Juno my sister absconded to be with the Costellos’. I mean this misfortune wouldn't be going on right now if she hadn't left in the first place.Right from when we were little, the both of us never really got along, we were more or less like two sides of a coin. We were attached of course as twins but we
