Shadow POV:Walking towards Amari's room I find Daniel walking out whilst buttoning his shirt."Before I jump to conclusions what the fuck where you doing in there" I whisper yell at him"I know how it looks but it's not the case, she had a mental breakdown yesterday and I was here helping her as you requested" he states walking awayWalking into her room I find her still asleep. Going towards her I gently remove the corner of her duvet. She quickly realizes that she's completely naked and the only piece of clothing on her is Daniel's suit jacket. I turn around to leave and then I feel her grab my arm"He didn't do anything, he slept on the couch and I slept here" she whispers but that doesn't justify anything right now. Going towards her I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. I realize that her hair is shorter"You cut your hair?" I question her and she swats my hand away. She sits up slightly moving away from me."I did," she says tucking both sides behind her hair. Before it w
Amari POV:We've been sitting in my room talking for who knows how long. I'm just glad that we are having an opportunity to just talk. I’m mad not so much since we aired it all out"I still can't believe you like choc-mint ice cream," I say chucking a pillow at him and he catches it"It was all my mother ever bought so I learned to love it but you sweetheart like vanilla which is very boring if I must say" he smirks as he shrugs"Not really cause with vanilla you can turn it into any flavor you feel like and that is amazing to me," I say falling back into my bed. Feeling contentment for the first time in a while I turn to him"Xavier" I whisper out"Don't push it" he says warningly"My bad, Shadow," I say rephrasing it"Yes sweetheart""I still know nothing about you or your childhood I just know the basics like your favorite book is The Laws of Power, your favorite ice cream is choc-mint, you love your mafia and you like me," I say resting my head on my arm facing him completely"Ah
Amari POV:It's been 36 hours of doing nonstop training and Shadow said the reason I'm controllable now and I quote is because "now I know the truth". I guess it helps but it hurts turning into 'obsidian' Well that's what the men here call me behind Shadow's back cause my eyes turn pitch black"Amari are you ready" one of the men says as they knock on my door"Yeah uhm I just need a second" I shout back.I don't even know if I'm wearing this suit correctly but at least it's on. Putting my earpiece on I go towards the mirror and I must say I look so badass. Now I know what it feels like to be one of those action movie characters. This is exciting as much as I am shitting myself but that's not how winners talkI've been hanging out with these men way too muchWalking out I'm greeted by people shoving guns into their gears."Amari, Boss wants to see you," one of the men says and I nod. Going towards Shadow's office I stand in front of his door. Breathing in and out I knock on the door"C
Shadow POV:Pushing the door open I see Daniel moving closer to Amari as she takes a step back. She mouths something to him and then she loses her balance. Feeling my world collapse as I see her fall off the ledge I run towards her trying by all means to catch her "Fuck" I whisper as I jump offI shoot the grappling hook and it hooks onto the ledge of the building next to this one. Looking down I make eye contact with Amari. Everything around us goes silent the only thing that matters right now is getting to her. Sudden fear appears in her eyes and she stretches her hand out for me. Looking down we are nearing the ground we are probably 500m high.Reaching her hand I grab it and pull her to my chest. The rope stops mid-air and I swing us into the windows of a buildingCrashing through the glass window I do my best to cover her. We crash onto the floor and we topple over a couple of times. My back hits the floor and Amari flings out of my arms.Getting up my bones ache from the impa
~~~~~~5 months later~~~~~Amari POV:"We are almost there I promise," Shadow says as he guides me through some walkway"Okay, but why do I need to be blindfolded" I giggle as I hold onto his hand."Almost there," he says as we go a bit further. Feeling him halt I start getting nervous all of a sudden"Is this the part where I find out you're a murderer and I'm your last victim?" I say and he grabs my waist pulling me towards him. Getting butterflies in my stomach I start to nervously giggle"Trust me sweetheart if I wanted you dead I would have done it already" he kisses the back of my head"Are you ready" he grabs the blindfold getting ready to untie it"I guess so" I nervously say. He unties it and I slowly open my eyes. My mouth widens with shock, a look of awe creeping onto my face. The whole scenery just being way too perfectMy eyes land on a beautiful sunset. Glancing down at the beach sand there's a beautiful setup on the groundThere's a walkway trickled with rose petals, can
Amari POV:No screw this I refuse to be denied on my birthday. Bella probably used her last drug money to buy me this lingerieGetting up I march out of my room. Two guards turn towards me their eyes briefly taking me in. They look at my outfit and then they look back down quickly when they realize I'm looking at them.Walking into his room I hear the water running in his shower. Going towards the bathroom I slowly push the door open.I can do this. I can do this He stands in the middle with his back turned to me. Water cascades down his chiseled back, his muscles flexing with every movement he makes by running his hand through his hair. Staring at him I slowly start taking off my set.Looks like I’m not going to need it after all. Opening the shower door he just pauses"Amari what are doing in here" he growls outHow does he even know it's me?Wrapping my arms around his torso. I graze my hands over his abs. His breathing stills when I move my hand lower"Stop" he grunts grabbing m
Amari POV:"Be a good girl and touch yourself" he says caressing my cheek. Nodding I spread my legs and I bring my two fingers to my clit. Rubbing circles against it my breathing intensifies and I close my eyes getting lost in the sensations Rubbing my fingers across my folds I collect some of my juices. I grab onto his thigh my nails digging into him. I'm pretty sure I'm leaving marks. Throwing my head back as I rub my clit with more motion the sound of my moans echoes around the room"Look at me," he says fisting my hair and I look up at him. He takes my hand and he brings my fingers to his lips. He sucks my fingers and right now I'm beyond being turned on. I’m so close that I’m salivating "Bittersweet," he says groaning. He wraps his hand around my throat and aims his tip in front of my lips. Before he could even say anything I put my lips on his tip"Fuck" he breathes out while throwing his head back. I don't even know what to do but I do my best anyway because getting that reac
Shadow POV:This is the first time we shared a bed. All night I just kept staring at Amari and I couldn't help but think to myself that she honestly looks like herThe hair, the complexion, and the eyes remind me of her. It's one of the reasons why I wanted the right time for me to take Amari's virginity but she had other plans.I'm physically attracted to Amari and emotionally I feel like we haven't connected. It's not her it's me I'm just finding it hard to open up"Are you okay...you look deep in thought" Amari asked as she drew circles on my chest with her"Oh no sweetheart just thinking about how good you were last night" slapping and then grabbing her ass she blushes"Oh," she whispers out. Looking over at the time it's 9:30 am"When do you want to go home" I ask her and she sighs rolling over to the other side"Do we have to go" she muffles into the sheet"Yes tsvetok so tell me when you're ready" Going over to her I kiss the back of her head. Getting up from bed I go towards t
