Shadow Chapter 23: Sorry
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.

Xavier POV:"Are you serious right now the wedding started 40 minutes ago" Daniel says as I stand beside him at the altar. Damn, why is he so uptight?"I had to take care of something" I smirk fixing my suit when I think about what just happened in her changing roomEven though Daniel and I aren't close at all, for Amari's sake I made him my best man. The music starts playing and all the guests stand up. Smiling I straighten up when see Amari by the archway. There’s a bunch of audible gasps when they see her. Suddenly feeling out of breath I wipe my hands down my suit pants. She looks breathtaking. She makes her way through the doors and my eyes widen even more Fuck me After Amanda falling in love was never in the cards for me. I had trust issues and ever since then, the girls I've been with were just there to suppress the hurt I have accustomed myself to.

Daniel POV:Too many days have gone by and every time I try to talk to Amari about the cure something or someone distracts her from the conversationIt's her wedding day today so I had the gift hidden under the gifts table for safekeeping. I wanted to tell her one-on-one but now I'll just tell her when everyone is in the same room this evening"Daniel you look handsome" Turning I see Bella standing in the doorway looking every bit as stunning as she is "Thanks, Bella", looking at myself in the mirror I have to say having the girls wear caramel and the boys wear Mocha was a nice touch to the weddingAmari wanted the wedding to look like a coffee drink. According to Bella the last three months Amari has been obsessed with Starbucks so you can imagine there is even a Starbucks pop-up shop at the reception"You look beautiful, Bella," I say turning to face her and she smiles doing a complete 360. Wow just wow. Walking over to her I stop in front of her "Thank you" She hooks our hands an
Shadow Chapter 47: Pregnancy test?
Chapter 47: Pregnancy test? Snuggling closer to him, I plop some butter popcorn into my mouth. A scary scene comes up in the movie and I hide my face in his chest. “Is it gone? Tell me it’s gone” I ask, and he chuckles resting his head on the top of mine. “It’s gone, Tsvetok,” he says. I take a slight peak to find the scene gone. This was my first time watching a horror movie. I haven’t had much time to watch movies lately, so Shadow advised we watch his favorite horror together. Mama. It’s about a dead woman who adopts these two little girls after their father tries to kill them. I thought it was going to be cutesy, but instead, she started killing people and refusing for the little girls to go back into humanity. “I don’t like this anymore” I sob, watching the youngest girl getting pulled closer to the edge by the demon lady. Shadow turns the T.V. off and turns to me. “No more, see,” he says. I blow out a breath and I shove a handful of buttery popcorn into my mouth. “It was s

He scans me from head to toe and smiles "I saw your note on my bed and I just couldn't miss this. Roza, you look incredible" he says nearing me. The tears I thought wouldn't fall start to fall one by one"Aww roza don't cry," he says bringing me in for a hug"I'm sorry"I whisper and he plants a kiss on my forehead"Don't be I'm glad I'm here" he says squeezing me tighter"I am too, "I say embracing his warmth"Okay well enough of the shit show we should get going," Bella says clapping her hands. Daniel chuckles and he breaks the hug. Fixing myself I go back into the fitting room and take off the gownWalking back out Daniel already has my dress on a hanger. He hands it over to the lady and she takes the price tag to the counter"Oh I am so glad you found a dress," the shop assistant says scanning the tag"I loved every piece but this

Amari POV:Xavier and I ate breakfast then we took a shower together. He suggested we head into town but instead, he flew us to Italy. I should have known he didn't mean the local town in MoscowAfter landing he got us a car that dropped us off in a street filled with many boutiques. Turning to Xavier I looked at him in confusion. I thought we came to get the ring "What are we doing here," I ask and he smiles pecking my lips"Shopping spree," he says climbing out of the car and waiting for me to do so. Grabbing his hand I jump out of the car. Still surprised and slightly confused I look at all the beautiful buildings. I knew I was homesick but being here now is making me realize that I missed Italia "We didn't have to go to Italy for this, "I say hooking my arm on his"Well you're half Italian aren't you so let's see if you're any good" he walks us towards a boutique with cute pretty dresses. Opening the door the bell dingles and the lady by the counter walks up to us"Salve, come p

He is quiet for a while so I sit up to see him looking at me with sleepy eyes and bedridden hair "Bella what are you doing here" he groans in his morning voice and I only realize now that I woke him up. Oh shit "Shit I'm sorry I didn't realize you were asleep," I say and he yawns running a hand through his hair ruffling it even more. Why the hell does he have to be so sexy?"Fuck so Xavier's really here," he asked sitting up and resting his back on the headboard. Wait what’s that smell "Oh my god you reek of alcohol," I say pinching my nose. I was too busy ranting I didn’t even realize it smelled lik

Shadow POV:I never went back to our room last night and quite frankly I just sat in my office drinking my frustration away. But it's 6 am now and I promised Amari I'll do betterSecuring my robe around my waist I walk out of my office. I walk down the hallway and the staircase and I enter the kitchen. Seeing someone sitting on the counter I pull out my gun ready to shoot but then I see the blonde hair. Oh it’s Bella"Hey," I say and she jumps off the counter clutching her cereal bowl in freight"Holy shit" is what she says when she turns around to see me"Fuckin in hell" she curses as she puts her bowl of cereal down"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," I say opening the fridge and taking out the eggs"Uhm no ar- are you making Amari breakfast," she asked with a wide grin on her face and I rolled my eyes. I don’t know Bella or how to feel about her but she’s Amari’s best friend she can’t be that bad "Oh. my. god," she says smiling like a crazy woman whilst shoving a spoon of cereal i
Shadow Something of mine part 2
Amari POV: "What" I rasp closing my eyes shut when he reaches my lower abdomen. His lips hover over my clit and I fist the sheets the anticipation killing me."I'm sorry," he says kissing my inner thigh and I sigh not understanding where this is going"For what" I ask and he pauses"Look at me," he says growing serious. Rising a bit I rest my weight on my elbows so I'm looking at him"I'm sorry for how I acted back at the cabin I uhm," he says nervously, and now I sit up straighter so that I'm giving him my devoted attention"I have PTSD and I didn't take my meds," he says not even looking at me truly speaking I've never seen Shadow this sincere. I honestly don't know what to do. I’m shocked and relieved that his being vulnerable with me right now "A long time ago I promised myself that I wouldn’t and I couldn’t fall in love with someone but I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel about you," he says staring into space and I go towards him. Grabbing his face I make him look at
